Life is rosy in this open-plan space that functions as a flexible dining/kitchen/living area. Traditional and modern furniture are combined to create a rustic and eclectic look. Black and wooden furniture is balanced with soft pink and beige colours. The result: a room where the atmosphere is relaxed, easy-going and charming.
A dreamy yet practical kitchen island
A kitchen island works great for flexible spaces; it allows for extra seating, has extra storage and provides an extra working surface. Its black colour lends a sense of continuity to the dining area and kitchen, while the wooden worktop softens the look and adds warmth.
Mirrors brighten up a room
Placing a mirror in the kitchen – an unexpected and charming detail – helps open up the space and brings in more light. It’s almost like a window. The rustic design and gold accents tie well to the overall look of the room.
Achieve visual balance with contrasting styles
Make the most of an odd corner with a moveable trolley for extra storage. Here, the sleek and modern design of the trolley adds an airiness to the space and creates visual balance beside the heavier wooden furniture. The black colour scheme ties the look together.
Create rooms within a room
Create different zones in an open space by placing furniture in a thoughtful way and by using rugs to define the different areas. Here, we placed the sofa in the middle of the room to separate the living, dining and kitchen areas – while still making the spaces easily accessible and sociable.
A soft colour palette for warmth and romance
Tones of pink and beige and earthy colours add softness and warmth to this space. Natural materials such as linen and handwoven items – such as the rattan baskets – really strengthen the rustic atmosphere.
For a charming and relaxed home, don’t be afraid to mix it up a little
Combine modern and traditional furniture – while sticking to a colour palette and adding soft elements throughout – to create a rustic, eclectic look that feels less formal. Here, everyone can take their plates and eat anywhere they like. A truly charming home where fond memories are made.
