Design Inspiration Monday

This indoor 4 season room is a dream all year around.  Plenty of light, airy and bright for the summer.  Cozy and comfortable in the winter.  The rustic, monochromatic neutral mix is a unique take on a "patio" type of room.  The string lights add a nice ambiance to entertain or have a game night.  This space is unquestionable filled with laughs, good times, and happy hours all year long.

This room.  The straight lines carry from the shape of the sofa to the lines on the rug.  The contrasting black and white is broken up with dark brown pieces mixed in.  The splash of color with the plum velvet accent chair is a pleasant surprise and doesn't draw attention away from the neutral flow of the room.  Also, my eyes almost instantly noticed that rose quartz colored pillow on the sofa and the faux cow head taxidermy on the wall.  I'm seriously obsessing over rose quartz and faux taxidermy right now...it may be a phase.  We'll see.  Moving on to the oversized bookcase, rustic reclaimed desk with the hutch.  Love how the faux fur on the chair at the desk makes more fun, cozier and less of a "work" space.

What's your favorite part of this room?

Lately, I've been drooling over the modern rustic decorating style.  The clean, straight lines combined with fur accents create a cozy, yet calming and clear mood.  There's texture and and interest, but it's not busy or cluttered.  The low, reclaimed coffee table on wheels is unique, peaking interest and easy to move for entertaining purposes.  What do you think of this room?  Do you like the boho modern style?

Most homes are centered around the kitchen, since it is typically the room with all the action.  Not only is it used for preparing and cooking food, but also entertaining guests and family meals.  Rustic decor looks like its been around for centuries.  The distressed worktable with casters makes it simple to move it as needed.  Unpolished silver on the walls and open shelving flawlessly suit the rustic design.
