  1. Make comfort a priority

    In a modern rustic bedroom, comfort should be your priority. All the furniture you sit or lie on must be comfortable before you even think about style. So opt for a good-quality bed and armchair. You don't even need to create a sophisticated reading corner - a simple chair in a corner of the room is enough to add an extra dose of comfort to your bedroom. Just make sure you don't sacrifice aesthetics for comfort. In a modern rustic space, furniture lines still need to be simple and uncluttered to keep the look modern.

  2. Opt for a high-quality solid wood bed

    The bed is obviously the essential element of a bedroom that you can't do without. And a high-quality solid wood bed is a great way to set the tone for a modern, comfortable rustic bedroom. Solid wood is one of the strongest, toughest and most durable materials of which a bed can be made. A wooden bed is a sure bet, a timeless piece that fits in perfectly with modern rustic style.

  3. Add modern touches

    Once you've created a comfortable base with an elegant, rustic solid wood bed, incorporate modern touches with your accent furniture. Bedside tables, chests of drawers and benches, for example. The clean shapes of modern-inspired accent furniture and accessories will create a beautiful combination of modern and rustic style.

  4. Add natural materials

    Natural textures and materials help balance the modern lines of accent furniture and bring a balanced ambience to a modern rustic-style bedroom. A mix of textured natural materials such as ceramics, wicker, cork, linen and reclaimed wood will bring a distinctive style to any room. Natural materials can also be incorporated into furniture, lighting fixtures, decorative accessories, rugs, cushions and even bedding. This mix of natural materials can visually energize a room and add very elegant touches to your bedroom.

  5. Decorate your bedroom with earthy, neutral tones

    The ideal color palette for a modern rustic bedroom is a warm neutral palette, punctuated by earthy tones such as ochre, terracotta, olive green and gray pinks. Add these neutral tones to the center of the room, then use earth tones for pops of color in your decorative elements or even on a wall with accent paint. Earth tones look great in a bedroom, as they help create a warm, calm atmosphere for sleeping and resting. What's more, neutral tones and earth tones are the perfect color complements for the natural materials used in your bedroom. Want to add more modern touches to your bedroom? Consider black, which can also add that modern touch.

  6. Add greenery

    Adding greenery (real or artificial) is essential for any modern rustic-style space. It adds a nice touch of natural color to your room, as well as some visual texture that breathes life into your room. What's more, plants are also a great way to fill an empty corner or surface in your room.

  7. Experiment with patterns

    Patterns are a great way to add visual interest to a room with a rather neutral color palette. But rather than choosing overly modern geometric patterns, which can look too stark, opt for rugs, cushions, vases and mirrors with subtle patterns that feel more rustic.
