How to Mix Rustic with Modern Decor

When it comes to incorporating rustic goods with modern design it can sometimes be hard to know exactly how to mix the different styles. We find a lot of inspiration from how our customers choose to style their purchases from the shop. Here’s a great customer example of modern and rustic design…

Architects have cool offices and my friend Dan Sabatini’s office is no exception.

The office is modern and industrial with a couple of unique rustic pieces he purchased from MERCATO. 

Look up at the ceiling in the picture.  

Dan centered this beautiful Italian antique ceiling panel with three hand-painted putti in the office reception area. This rustic panel floating from the modern and industrial ceiling is quite a unique focal point and quite the conversational piece.

The vintage bench has a unique design and is really cool.  

It’s decorative in this spot as well as functional.

If you like the modern and rustic aesthetic take a look at our architectural salvage. We have quite a few interesting pieces. If you want something functional, perhaps an antique table or bench will do the trick and help you achieve the look.
