Craft A Contemporary Farmhouse Aesthetic
The coziness of a warm indoor retreat amidst a rural winter’s day perfectly describes the trend of Modern Rurality. The designs of this trend are grounded in the authenticity of natural elements: a wooden backdrop, hand-woven fabrics, heritage-inspired and simple country objects as well as aged metals such as a rusty brass faucet.
The color palette for this trend features saturated hues including a dark mossy green, deep navy, various shades of brown, and a rich maroon. Although warm, cozy, and comforting with an entrenched focus on immersing ourselves in what is good for us, and preferring country frugality and local hand-crafted pieces to mass produced items, Modern Rurality can also express itself with a contemporary twist.
Infusing the warm, natural materials with industrial elements such as metal, concrete, brick, and glass can give the space a sleek vibe. Modern Rurality’s long-lasting, homespun, authentic design helps our souls escape from the polycrisis mode of today’s overly digitized and dangerous world.
