Greatroom Gallery
A successful solution for a Modern Rustic Homes great room is a blend of beauty, utility and comfort…done well it is a pleasure to experience. The size of the great room is enhanced by vaulted ceilings, clerestory glass, large format windows and doors, and a prominent focal point such as a fireplace. Adjacent spaces for dining or kitchen help to pull your eye, making the great room feel bigger than it is. Details such as heavy wood rafters and beams, timber frame trim and stone make the space feel “lodge” like.
Here natural materials take center stage: vintage hardwood floors, rustic wood accent walls, forged metal balusters, and stone fireplaces craft a grounded, inviting atmosphere that is equally comfortable and durable. Inviting you to go ahead and put your feet up.
Interior colors take their cue from nature with driftwood browns, moody blues, dark greens and warm greys. Adding a touch of color, such as rust-orange or lemon yellow or a masculine bronze, you enliven the room without overwhelming its organic base. You now have a space that reflects your character and personality. After all, it is about you, and what brings you joy.
Comfort is the consequence of color, texture, touch and utility. Furnishings typically combine clean-lined silhouettes with tactile elements—think streamlined leather sofas, live-edge coffee tables, and matt finishes—to create a touchable, layered, inviting feel.
Allow natural light to expand the spaces during the day with task and ambient lighting fixtures defining the spaces in the evening. Be it an oversized metal fixture to accentuate the vaulted ceiling, or floor and table lamps casting a warm glow across the space, each compliments the modern rustic style.
Functional touches such as built-in shelving flanking a fireplace and window seating add character and practicality without cluttering the layout.
The result is a great room that feels grand and intimate, beautifully complementing the life you have created for your family. Check out great rooms we have created for our clients at Modern Rustic Homes Photo Gallery https://modernrustichomes.com/photo-galleries/
