If you take a look at this image, you’ll see how the oriental rug and heritage style furniture both work in tandem to deliver a great look. If you feel like it’s too much, then you can even counterbalance with modern/contemporary style surroundings for a sleeker effect.

2. Curtains and artwork

The pattern and color of the curtains can be vintage chic – maybe even 90s retro – while the artwork has to complement either the rustic or the traditional aura.

For example, the rattan recliner and end table in this image emulate a classic rustic aura, which is enhanced even more by the selection of the curtain fabric. The surrounding décor and accessories make the periphery feel slightly contemporary.

4. Lots of wooden accents

But the style is very diverse, so how can you combine it? Easy: choose the simple wooden highlights to represent the rustic style while the furniture can bring in a sense of tradition within the whole look.

5. Emulating modernity

Therefore, you can use sleek modern surfaces and materials to articulate your rustic-traditional look. The dining room in this image is an excellent example.
