If there are two styles that have found a new lease of life in the last decade, then it is industrial and rustic. Modern-rustic style combines beautiful elements of the classic rustic design with a touch of modernity and smart functionality to bring forth the best of both worlds. And often, it is the eye-catching backdrop in these rooms hat really gives them their unique appeal. Be it stone, wood or even glass, this is a look at 15 such gorgeous rustic living rooms with backdrops that wow!

A Stoic Presence

If you are looking for ways to bring rustic charm to your living room that is both captivating and timeless, then there is absolutely no better way than a stone wall. Stone walls are one of the most basic elements of the style and they look surprisingly well even when combined with more modern finishes. The last few years have seen homeowners once again invite stone into their homes wherever possible and it offers great visual and textural contrast. In most modern-rustic living spaces, the dashing presence of stone comes with either an accent wall or a stone fireplace – both great choices that create a striking focal point.

Textured Woodsy Charm

Rustic style is all about natural, unpolished finishes along with a cozy ambiance that feels connected with nature. Few elements capture this essence of the style better than wood at its charming best! Everything from reclaimed wood planks, accents walls in wood and rustic wooden décor to rough-hewn beams and exposed wood ceilings can make a big impact in the rustic living room. Each of these elements offers something exceptional and when balanced with more modern features, you get a living space that is both trendy and enduring.

Glass Brings in the Views

Where stone brings a stoic, immovable presence and wood adds comfort and inviting warmth to the living room, glass ushers in modernity and also invites in the views that truly make the space spectacular. Completing the trio of elements that make for the most beautiful backdrops in rustic living rooms, glass lends visual lightness and a touch of sparkle as well. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls are the most obvious choice in most rustic living spaces as they usher in unabated views on offer. But do not miss out on smart corner windows, clerestory windows and sliding glass doors as you look for ways in which you can brighten the living room.
