Rustic Touches: Adding a Natural Feel to Modern Spaces

Imagine this: You enter a space with smooth white walls, simple furniture and neat edges. It is contemporary, but there is a certain element that seems to be lacking. There is a lack of warmth, personality and connection to the external world. Now imagine that exact space with a coffee table made of reclaimed wood, a jute rug with texture and some weathered metal accents. Immediately, the room becomes warmer, cosier and more lively. The charm of incorporating rustic elements in contemporary areas is that they provide a sense of balance, cosiness and authenticity to prevent a cold or sterile environment.
