Barn inspired Details
Is there anything that screams rustic quite like barn-inspired decor? We think not! Which is why we had to begin our guide with this beautiful chic idea. The idea is bringing a balance between modern and rustic. That’s exactly what barn-inspired decor does. It’s the perfect in-between hint.

Wood, Wood & more Wood
Wood is the epitome of rustic decor so it makes sense to bring it into the room as much as you can. If you truly want to go big with your decor, add a wood panel wall for a statement piece that is still very rustic. It’s one of those accent pieces that does not take away from the rooms overall feel.
Modern
Keep your decor in an asymmetrical format for a modern feel that is still rustic. It’s not about changing your decor, it’s about opening up your decor and allowing it to breath more with crisp and clean lines. These lines help the modern appeal while the rustic decor stands out from the rest. The key is using crisp, clean upholstery that does not overstuff the room.
