The great lodges of the Pacific Northwest inspire a connection a wholesome, natural way of life.
The Northwest Rustic style of décor isn’t about a particular set of ideas, fixtures, or furnishings, but rather a way of life. A home decorated in the rustic style evokes these warm feelings, as a place to entertain, raise a family, and enjoy our beautiful natural surroundings.
You won’t find space-age materials and futuristic styling cues. Wood and rusted metal are cornerstones of any prime examples of rustic architecture. And so is an appreciation of our natural environment.
The beauty of this style is that it takes on a life of its own, reflecting the individual characteristics of those who inhabit this beautiful place. Lodges are quintessentially Americana, timeless and classic.
In a lodge aesthetic, the elements that comprise the interior décor often have both practicality and elegance to them – if not now, then perhaps in a past life. Antique breadboxes, mailboxes, and other pieces add character and warmth to any house they occupy.
Custom cabinets and millwork with Northwest rustic accents compliment the interior décor. Lots of wood accented by earth tones create a feeling of both warmth and home when coupled with custom cabinets and millwork.
Kitchens are popularly furnished and decorated in the Northwest rustic style, and many decor and home goods stores carry a wide selection of materials and accents. Cast iron pans and practical, humble materials can help make any home feel like it’s connected to a dreamy past.
Many homeowners in the Puget Sound area opt for naturally-finished hardwood floors, and open rafters complete the look.
Aside from the cabinets, the dining table is a common centerpiece of the lodge experience. Antique or distressed woods, metal trim, and neutral colors evoke memories of the entire family gathering around the dinner table.
Cabinets
One popular design trend favors Shaker-style cabinetry, which offers classic simplicity that will complement almost any design style. The clean lines and honest simplicity of the Shaker-style cabinetry blend well with any iteration of the rustic style.
