CREATE THIS LOOK The rustic look can provide a casual comfortable
feel while maintaining a well designed room. We love the idea of a
concrete or barn board feature wall in this vintage space. The Fulham
sconces would look great against either finish! We suggest murals
instead of real concrete or barn board. This option is budget friendly
and can be updated easily if you tire of the look later on. Couple either
mural with a light grey wall colour.
TO FURNISH THE SPACE We start with a great sectional sofa that
can make a room both comfortable, relaxed and a wonderful place to
gather with friends for a visit or watch a movie with the whole family.
This particular sofa is well built, can be customized to suite and comes
with a down blend seat for maximum comfort. Add a couple of
lounge chairs to round out the look. Use them to close the square
of the sectional for a perfect conversation circle! If room allows,
include a coffee table as well. The mixture of metals in the pieces
we picked gives them an antiqued, rustic, found object feel.
A wonderful graphic carpet will ground the room to complete that
“natural rustic” feel we have been after. For accessories, we’ve
put together an eclectic selection of fun reproductions and true
vintage finds from barn sales and garage sales! Don’t be afraid to
inject strong colours in the accessories and have fun with found
objects! - Text by Glen Peloso
