~refined rustic style~

Yesterday I shared a home that defines refined rustic. 
But what exactly is refined rustic?

It's all about using a lot of texture. 
Think shiplap, wood, baskets, metals, a subtle mix that looks harmonious. 
You can also create this look by balancing contrast. 
My favorite is black and white, but don't be afraid to mix all different shades of white.
Cream, bright white, lacquered white, chippy off whites, use it all.

Use a mixture of materials, both hard and soft. A steel console table with a slipcovered linen sofa would be a good example. 

Refined rustic is good because it's family friendly, not too stuffy, but still looks clean and edited.

Here is a table setting that to me sums up "refined rustic"
The mostly white palette is very refined, as well as the matching well put together place settings and the flowers down the center.
The rustic comes in with the wood "runner" and the mix match chairs.
Notice some of the chairs are wood.


This bathroom is another example.
The concrete sinks are rustic but the lines are very refined.



The rustic wood beams in this living room balance out the sleek interior and hard lines 
of the furniture and the monochromatic color scheme.


I am really loving this style.
How about you? Are you a fan?
