Modern Country Décor for Every Room
If you decide to include the contemporary country trend, it is important to commit. This style only works if it is prevalent throughout your entire home. The mix of modernism and rustic aesthetics is so specific, it is essential to be intentional. Each room should have an equal balance of sleek, trendy accessories, and country-inspired details. However, being selective is also vital because a cluttered space can automatically look dated and overwhelm the modern atmosphere. Try choosing pieces that are organic, natural, but still high-end. Textiles like cashmere and velvet can mesh the cozy with the current.

Living Room Wall Décor
Your living room is an excellent place to start when embarking on your interior makeover journey. This is the most central and communal space in your home. Wow your guests with modernism, and give them comfort with country style. Play with patterns that are making a comeback, like houndstooth and gingham. Add homey elements like candles and coffee table books to create a welcoming atmosphere.
White Décor Ideas
White and off-white are colors that work in modern and rustic interiors. Any neutral shade will work as a base to add contemporary country décor. Your living room is the perfect space to add understated shades like white, ivory, and grey. Avoid too much color, as vivid hues will take away from the modernism and push your home into the more traditional shabby-chic category.

Country Style Kitchen
Keep with the country trend of a laid-back kitchen and add a few modern amendments. Leave your shelves open to reflect an informal atmosphere. Set spices and cookware on your countertop for a truly casual look. To shift your kitchen slightly more contemporary, focus on the finishes. Install stainless steel appliances and consider surfaces in quartz, marble, and slate. Use black matte hardware and industrial-style light fixtures to balance out the rustic wood details.

The Perfect Patina
Keeping with the rustic decorating trend, the décor in your home should look well-worn and well-loved. Choose luxurious materials like leather, steel, and wool, but encourage the development of gentle wear and tear. Rather than fight surface weathering, encourage a natural patina to form on your sleek surfaces. Fill your home with brushed metals and buttery, lived-in leather. This striking display of imperfect luxury is essential to achieving the Contemporary Country trend.

Dark Wood Details
While a typical country-style home uses predominantly light and bright woods, dare to go darker for a more contemporary look. Avoid the traditional country style, and swap your oak and maple for rich walnut and mahogany. For a welcome change from rustic matte surfaces, go with a glossy finish for a silky, modern look. The dark, lustrous tones will take your interior from simple to stylish in the blink of an eye. This simple switch will prevent your space from looking “country cliché.”

Add Cool Neutrals
Warm tones are characteristic of a country interior. While it’s okay to keep things cozy, you’ll want to balance out the warm rustic decorating with cool-colored hues. In addition to classic neutrals like brown and beige, add a splash of grey and taupe for a modern touch. By combining both warm and cool neutral tones, you can seamlessly blend the two styles. Plus, you can never go wrong by balancing your color composition.

Mixing Vintage Vibes
While it may seem counterintuitive to add vintage details when you want to create a contemporary ambiance, vintage decor combines quality and individuality. Authentic vintage elements will look thoughtful and expensive. Vintage furniture from before the 1970s is ideal, so as to emphasize history rather than making your interior look dated. Vintage rugs will provide a nice balance to your glossy wood floors. For a finishing touch, you can never go wrong with brick details.
