Modern character but rural soul: these are the qualities regarded by the following internal and external architectural projects. Each project will leave you with open-mouthed fascination and design inspiration. Rustic renovations, such as barns converted into villas and ancient interior acccessories combined with contemporary furnishings, will show how each environment is saturated with inspiration and ideas

Get your paper and pen ready – you'll want to remember these!

1. Style and ingenuity

When style meets ingenuity, creative ideas are born. The coffee table, made from an ancient cauldron, is one of them, inserted in a rural home worthy of note.

2. Rural structure, contemporary decor

Here, the stone bearing structure embraces an ultra cosy warmth while adding contemporary furniture. The yellow light and wooden frames and beams perfectly combine to create a rustic, modern environment.

3. The perfect outdoor scene

Even huddled pergolas can become a true fascinating extension to the rustic countryside. Here's an example where the wrought iron details do not miss the opportunity to emphasize the traditional character of the building. 

4. When the country becomes modern

Within this rural-looking house lies a veritable modern residence in essence. References to the traditional, like the brick wall and wrought iron decorations, remind one of home, and the view reminds one of the extravagant place on earth.

5. The room in the niche

How can you not to be inspired by this furnished niche! This is an idea that's functional both for the optimization of the space and from an aesthetic point of view.

6. Rural rhymes with rustic

There is nothing better than a country-style porch surrounded by a garden to combine the beauty of traditional construction and also the element of conviviality. 

7. A barn with a past

Who would have thought that this beautiful villa built on several levels was previously a barn? The imposing structure remained to accommodate a large size, however, in the new version, both internal and external structures recall rustic tastes.

8. Rural outside, modern on the inside

The way the historic stone is exposed to the light creates an interior design environment that has a priceless atmosphere. Here, shades of grey and white work together in a perfect, collaborating manner.

9. With a bit of industrial

A creative twist never hurts. A very rural feel in the masonry and furniture, but with a dose of style in industrial concrete flooring and lighting effect make this the perfect contemporary living room.

Remember, appreciate the integrity and historicity of your home, while at the same time adding elements of your personal style into it!
