Country mouse, city mouse style
There’s a new look taking over the world of interior design. Gone are the days of clear-cut style influences; modern, vintage, country, industrial. Today the fastest-growing trend is a combination of country and city vibes known in these parts as Urbanology®. Start with reclaimed woods, metal and leather, add industrial elements with timeworn finishes and distressed details, unique light fixtures and black and white artwork and you’ve got a look that’s chic, charming and in vogue.
Creating your own eclectic rooms
You don’t have to live in a converted factory to achieve the right look. With carefully chosen pieces you can cultivate the look with ease.
Follow these tips to get started:
- Keep your overall palette neutral
- Furniture and wall coverings should be large in scale
- Maintain “white” or empty space in your design – clutter is the Anti-Chic!
- Search for clean-lined elements to keep the look sophisticated
- Introduce texture and pattern via organic textiles
The reclaiming/repurposing of vintage finds is one reason homeowners are drawn to this eclectic look. This style appeals to the growing trend of environmentally-conscious consumers who do not want to “buy new” when salvaged items bring a sense of history and add rich character to a home.
Reclaimed style wood and metal dining table pairs beautifully with distressed finish faux leather/wool dining chair. Hanging pendants featuring Edison bulbs set the right mood while black and white photography works well against the exposed brick wall.
Industrial artifacts with timeworn finishes balance the luminosity of the glass jar.
Trending furniture design blends the iconic farmhouse gathering table with a factory-inspired base to create something entirely fresh and new.
