Any regular readers of our blog know that I love rustic decor as I wax lyrical about it fairly often. I essentially live in jeans, and even in my decor I much prefer a more casual, non-stuffy environment. That is why I love a rustic space. It’s modest, comfortable, and combines gorgeous textures – and you get the added bonus of a bit of history (typically). Now mix in some modern elements and funky vintage pieces and this juxtaposition is what I consider perfection. I do however think a space can be too rustic and cold – if it’s just a bunch of wood and concrete and stone, it’s too much.  Some good lighting, natural textured fabrics and some faux sheepskins can do wonders to warm up a rustic room. I’m curious to know what you all think – does a rustic space turn your crank?

Livable yet luxurious. A modern mix of vintage and classic design. Carefully curated and with restrained use of colour. Andrew Flesher believes design should engage as many senses as possible. His is not a flashy, trashy, latest trends aesthetic but one of well considered, stylishly layered rooms. Timeless yet fresh. With offices in Minneapolis and New York and homes everywhere in between. (You may recognise some of his work from the now dissolved design partnership of Gunkelman Flesher.)

Classically modern interiors that combine vintage furniture, amazing art, custom upholstery and clean lined architectural details. Welcome to the work of East Hampton based interior designer Robert Stilin. No “Hamptons” formulaic spaces here though. Modern with a sophisticated vintage riff, multilayered and textured, casually elegant, warm and masculine.

I couldn’t leave it any longer to share more work from Civico Quattro‘s Orietta Marcon. A private home by this designer/stylist that carefully balances rustic charm and subtle elegance. Nothing is “precious”. Where simple and everyday meets stylish and beautiful. To climb the stairs to that grey and white haven under the eaves would be such a wonderful way to end each day.

A dream, a beautiful, beautiful dream come to life. A rustic home in the Marche countryside, Pergola in Italy. Stylish and elegant yet simple and casual. Designed by Michele Gambato of MGARK, Malatesta Maison is home to Claudia, Carlo, Isabelle and their three dogs. Interior decoration is by Orietta Marcon of Civico Quattro.

No need to dream about this special maison though. It is also a B&B. Yes you can stay and pretend, just for a little while, that it is all yours. In the meantime head to Claudia’s blog Malatesta to see more of her inspirations and creations and the beauty that is her family’s everyday life.
