With the Rustica we celebrate design elements that have stood the test of time and reflect the way Great British industry has defined historical and modern interior architecture. This home is all about being immersed in the fabric of the raw materials that have formed the basis of Britain’s industries, agriculture and traditional family homes – but with a modern twist! We call it Modern Rustic Chic – and we love it!
From the moment you step into the vestibule everything around you is warm, tactile, earthy and honest. Exposed timber beams that form the angles of the vaulted ceiling, tie into the glulam timber ridge beam. A solid oak and metal legged bench directly in front is accentuated by a real slate clad wall – another nod to our Welsh heritage – framed by two hanging metal cage pendants set in open alcoves. A beautiful warped metal pendant, lights this grand entrance.
These features are carried through to the lounge and dining area accessed via a sliding door set on black metal roller hinges. Two French doors at the front of the home frame the central focal point of the living area, where a feature fire set against a large slate clad wall provides the perfect place to rest and unwind.
The graciously proportioned open-plan kitchen is well equipped with a host of conveniences and appliances. But this is far from just a functional space; the Rusticas kitchen is a work of art – with a wrap-around butcher block breakfast bar and real copper pendant and wall lights you’ll find it a joy to simply be there.
The master bedroom incorporating an en suite with free standing bath and shower and a hidden toilet, has rustic curved furniture that complements the decor that runs throughout the home with wood flooring and wrought iron beams and colours that have been lovingly chosen to ensure that a rustic wholesome feel is felt throughout.
