Cuddle up and get cosy with our latest AW19 trend, Rustic Retreat. Inspired by classic country interiors and snug log cabins, this look is perfect for the colder months when you want to hibernate in style.
Find out how to get the Rustic Retreat look and discover our top picks for this charming trend.
Rustic Charm
Exuding charismatic, rustic charm, this trend fuses dark hues and rich shades with natural materials. Aged wooden grains and reclaimed woods add a relaxed look while supple padded leathers bring laidback comfort to seating areas. Sink into oversized slouchy sofas such as the Dakota Extra Large Sofa. Combining a soft leather surround with faded fabric cushions and fringing detail it offers an inviting and homely charm.
The
Tactile Textures
This look is all about rich, tactile textures that evoke a cosy and authentic feel. Add a rustic edge to your dining space with the Tennyson dining table, featuring a distressed wood top and aged metal base. Its rough oak top features a light burnt finish that accentuates the natural wood grain, while metal capped edges give it an industrial touch.
For a hint of glamour, velvet chairs are the perfect contrast. Exquisitely designed and exceptionally comfortable, the Jasper Dining Chair in deep green velvet brings unrivalled luxury to a rustic table.
Into the Wild
Wildlife motifs are a huge trend right now and fit perfectly into this country-inspired look. Take inspiration from nature with everything from animal-inspired artwork to lighting. The Deer Picture will add a statement focal point to walls while the Black Hand Painted Dog Table Lamp is a quirky take on traditional designs. For a hint of eclecticism, we love the fun Mr Fox Cushion.
Style these wild elements alongside bold velvets and antiqued metals for a modern twist on a classic look.
A Hint of Glam
For the perfect finishing touch, add a hint of glam to your rustic retreat. Load up on faded finishes for a lived-in look, then embellish it with shiny ceramics and luxe fabrics to inject unexpected sophistication. The Bronze Dimple Effect Vase is a stunning decorative piece that will make a beautiful addition to a sideboard or coffee table.
Metallics are perfect for adding a luxe finishing touch and breaking down the borders of this masculine design. Choose hammered and brushed effects for a pared-down alternative to high shine silvers and golds. The Brass Dome Pendant will make an eye-catching style statement when over dining tables and in bedrooms, while the Vienna Antique Gold Side Tables are a practical and stylish addition to the Rustic Retreat theme.
