About:
Rustic style has evolved significantly from its traditional roots. The days of fusty dried flower arrangements, antlers over a stone fireplace, and acres of plaid are long gone.

The modern rustic look now celebrates the essence of a home, highlighting features like roof beams and brickwork. This style embraces earthy colours, rich textures, and natural materials such as wood and stone, emphasising the ruggedly handsome elements of a building. In this book, stylist Emily Henson and writer Joanna Simmons guide you through the Elements of the Modern Rustic look. Pure Rustic elegantly combines clean lines with muted grey shades. Bohemian Rustic mixes textures and patterns with vibrant colours, while Pop Rustic pairs raw wood with neon accents and playful artworks. Retro Rustic offers a relaxed vibe, featuring worn leather armchairs and brick floors.

In the Details section, textiles, furniture, fabric, and display are explored, while Living Spaces demonstrates how Modern Rustic style beautifully adapts to every room in the house and even extends to outdoor spaces.
