Re: They Call This Refined Rustic

The first picture doesn't read as rustic at all to me. Because of the ceiling, the second is a bit more of a refined rustic look.

@jubilant I don't know if it's rustic but it IS bland and boring.

I was posting and didn't see the second picture. Yes. this is refined rustic. 


@manny2    I prefer whole rooms, too, or as big as I can get. This is a set up by Modsy.  I couldn't find it in a big room so I presume it is a model set-up.  I think it's very pretty but doubt I would call it "refined rustic".....but...... someone else might.

Picture one and picture two are two different rooms? @jubilant

@jubilant I think you're right. Picture 1 appears to be a vignette created, almost as a portion of a 'model room'. I suspect it isn't even part of a real room but was put together to demonstrate something or for marketing purposes.

@jubilant thank you, I thought so. The first I agree not rustic. That is probably why I like it. The second one with the dark wood ceiling and choice of dark wood furniture speaks more rustic to me.

Re: They Call This Refined Rustic

I agree that the first room I'm not finding the rustic.  I love the second living room and although there are some beautiful pieces, they're too "refined" for me.

Re: They Call This Refined Rustic

Queen Anne wing chairs with gold accents would not even be rustic in a log cabin.

Interior designers who come up with these descriptive terms to sell their ideas should invest in dictionaries or a thesaurus.  Or, as anyone under 40 would say.......WHAT???

Re: They Call This Refined Rustic

@wagirl  Not only is the ceiling too dark, I HATE boxy ceilings like this. Talk about cobwebs!!!!!!!  Now I'd HAVE to dust my ceiling!!!!  I do not think so! I already hate to dust, not doing a ceiling like this.
