If you need inspiration to give the facade of your house that modern rustic style look you’ve been craving, you may find the inspiration in our post.

Characteristics of rustic facades

What characterizes the rustic style in facades? Primarily, the use of noble materials, especially wood and stone. In many instances, they are used in its natural form, for example covering the walls with raw stone, or with processed logs that cover them. In the latter case, the materials will always try to maintain their essence and remind as similar as possible to their natural state.

The rustic style, both in interiors and exteriors, is reclaiming its rightful place in the world of decoration. After a few years of dominance of a style that fell somewhere between industrial and Nordic, the return to the origins has made the rustic style a new concept.

As we have mentioned, in country houses, the construction maintains that sameness with the environment. But this new revisionism allows to incorporate modern materials, such as steel or glass, achieving a perfect union between tradition and modernity.

Rustic houses usually have one or two heights, with large outdoor areas like open terraces, garden areas (in some cases with swimming pools) or pergolated porches, and clay floors that maintain the rustic trend.

As in the decoration of rustic interiors, the facade should be equally harmonious and simple. It should stay clear of eccentricities and enhance the tones and textures of the materials.

In short, it is about creating houses where harmony and warmth make their habitability perfect. They are no longer old village houses, cold and old, but quite the opposite. And in that respect, to make a real home look like those rustic houses, the facades play a fundamental role. In the end, it is the first contact with the house.

The best rustic facades

Let’s now take a look at some of the best rustic facades to get some great ideas for your own.

In this first example of rustic facade we see a realization of what we have talked about throughout this post: a perfect blend with the environment. A simple structure, with large outdoor spaces, where a large terrace and large windows stand out. Its natural stone walls and baseboards also call one’s attention, making this facade a perfect example of rustic exterior.

If on the other hand you are looking for a more avant-garde style, in the following image you have an example of how to get a rustic facade to have that modern touch, thanks to the combination of traditional materials such as stone and wood, with other industrial materials such as glass and bricks. A very elegant rustic facade.

In the following example, you will see that there is a material that is the absolute protagonist: wood. This facade shows us that not only wooden cabins have a monopoly on the use of this material: rustic houses can also make use of it.

But that is not all. In this construction stand out other maxims of rustic facades, such as its perfect lines, completely straight, and the simplicity of its volumes, exposing the cleanliness of its design, transmitting the warmth of the house, (and yes, we have fallen in love with its porch).

Beige, both in rustic interiors and exteriors, is the star color in rustic decorations. Of course, we can play with it in the facades, as we see in the following example, where it is allied with white to achieve a perfect combination and contrast without stridency.

To finish this post of the best rustic facades, we show you another idea that we loved. Extending the style of the facade, stone in this case, with a wall that limits the plot. How cool!

We hope that throughout this post you have found inspiration for the rustic facade you have in mind for your home.
