Stunning Spaces: Charming, Rustic Lakefront Home

Our pioneer ancestors would probably get a good laugh out of how fashionable the rustic look is today. But thanks to the style’s unpretentious roots and natural warmth, it’s become as popular in the heart of the city as it is out in the woods.

Soaring ceilings, log walls and woodsy views are just the start of this home, which has found the right balance of rustic and modern. When you think rustic, do you envision high exposed beams? This home has them. Perhaps you think of an imposing stone fireplace as a rustic staple. This home has not one, but three. For many of us, when we hear the word rustic we probably think ‘wood, wood, and more more wood.’ Don’t worry, this home has that too.

With a lakeside setting and as many modern comforts as rugged trails, this Georgia home is an outdoor lover’s paradise. Gorgeous property, gorgeous photos.

Rugged materials are carried through all the spaces here, with features and appliances kept to scale. The extra-large and stone-surrounded island offer the perfect finishing touches.

This home has furniture with soul. Weathered pieces work well in creating a rustic vibe.

The living room showcases wood beams and a stone fireplace; two rustic standbys. What’s more, the soaring ceilings and picture-perfect view add drama and interest.

Don’t overlook an opportunity to add character to your home. In this room, creative and subtle touches, such as the faux tree bark beams and ceiling fans with tiny antlers, create another layer of interest. Every little detail contains rustic charm.

I challenge anyone to find a more appropriate bed for a charming, rustic home. I love that the tree-branch detailing as seen in the headboard and footboard show up all over this house. Clearly a lot of thought was put into decorating. This master bedroom proves reclaimed wood is not only great for paneling walls, but also for creating other great pieces.

Master bath with no detail or expense spared. Even a door that leads out to a private garden. Very rustic chic.

I love everything about this second bathroom. I’d like to imagine all these items were found by hunting around at flea markets or antique markets. One of the easiest ways to quickly incorporate rustic hints into your bathroom, or any room, is through accessories. For example, a distressed wood cabinet will do just the trick.
