1. Organic opulence
The Pacaso design team wanted to showcase the mountains and wooded forests surrounding Hallam. “To bring the outside environment of Aspen inside the home, we combined a variety of different surfaces,” explains Lynne. This can be seen in the kitchen, where a striking stone backsplash and matching waterfall-edge island blend with the subdued natural wood floor and ceiling beams to exude an earthy feel.
2. Symphony of textures
A mix of textures shines in other spaces throughout the home. “Rustic Contemporary is the vibe in the home,” says Lynne. Box beams, exposed woodwork and wide plank floors give the interior a classic rustic feel, while details like the black-framed windows, iron railings, dark marble surfaces and sleek light fixtures provide a luxurious modern edge. Minimalist white walls unite all the textures and create perfect harmony.
3. Playing with light, color and patterns
Bright open floor plans, natural materials and neutral color palettes are hallmarks of Rustic Contemporary. “The goal with this design aesthetic is to bring nature into your home,” says Lynne. At Hallam, you’ll find soft tones like creams, browns and gray used throughout. Area rugs featuring nature-inspired patterns pair well with the muted colors, while sheer curtains allow plenty of light to flow in. But natural doesn’t mean dull — the design team added dynamic pops of color with textured pillows, strategically placed plants and carefully selected artwork.
4. Beautifully balanced
Rustic Contemporary combines the charm of a rustic dwelling with the comfort of a modern home. “At Hallam, the balance of rustic and contemporary can be seen in the textures and furnishings,” says Lynne. In the living room, the design team paired a Mid-Century Modern leather chair with a modern floor lamp, creating a harmonious contrast with the home’s more rustic elements.
