Rustic interiors create a sense of warmth and homeliness within one’s domestic space; they are the essence of true country style, sturdy, robust, and restrained, yet powerfully graceful. An infusion of rustic décor in the home can often influence the surrounding scheme and style by incorporating an air of provincial charm and humble elegance. When fashioning a writing space or work area within your home, consider a rustic influenced design – it will not only fuse well with many other interior designs, but the subtlety and quaintness of the style will intermingle in a far superior way than conventional, or hard-edged workspaces.

If you are looking to create a solid and functional workspace in your abode, take a look at the following examples of rustic writing spaces below and get some inspiration for your new study or home office.

Sophistication and elegance

Often when we imagine rustic interiors or décor, we think shabby chic, pieces of furniture that are generally inelegant or a little rough around the edges—this does not necessarily have to be the case. This wonderful example proves rustic style furniture and decoration can be incorporated seamlessly and elegantly into a space whilst retaining a sense of grace and refinement. Here dark Baltic timber floorboards match with a rustic come industrial style writing desk. Other rustic decorations such as the timber ladder complete the look while the contrasting industrial floor lamp provides a stark contrast against the fresh white walls.

All-in-one bedroom space

If you don’t have the benefit of a spacious separate study, but would like to create a stylish writing area or workspace, contemplate the inclusion of a desk into you bedroom area. We generally tend to think of our bedrooms as spaces purely for rest and relaxation, but in today’s more cramped and tight homes and apartments, thinking beyond an area’s single function is almost essential to ensure you have an abode that is useable and practical. This example illustrates how the inclusion of a desk can actually improve the overall atmosphere of the space, the rustic furnishings blend effortlessly with the modern yet rustic timber desktop, and the steel legs of the desk infuse a sense of modernity and contemporary living. Blended with this, the rustic accessories, and the space feels warm, homely and suitable for penning one’s first novel or award winning short story.
