RUSTIC CHIC

By Kate Bidinger

Mixing reclaimed wood and metal with cowhide and velvet creates a harmonious room full of texture and contrast. To maximize this rustic yet glamorous aesthetic, keep the big furniture pieces neutral while incorporating color through accessories or art. Layer natural materials like horn, burled wood, penshell and glass, but don't be afraid to throw in a lucite piece to tip the scale on the chic side.
