This stunning lakeside home in Alabama, nestled along Lake Martin, achieves the perfect balance of rustic elegance. It mixes contemporary lines with rustic textures to create a beautiful harmony. What I love most about this home tour is how it demonstrates finding that balance between what may at first seem like two opposing styles, and how well it makes you feel the essence of the lake while incorporating elements that represent today’s design ideals. Take a look at this beautiful home to get inspired by its wonderful use of color and texture.
The walls are all covered in a gray wood paneling that captures the rustic essence of the lake and combines it with a contemporary color palette. The muted blue furniture is both elegant and comfortable.
The magnificent stone fireplace serves as a focal point for the living room, bringing in more rustic texture to the space.
A sette and two ottomans serve as a contemporary twist on dining room seating, while the chairs flanking the ends have a more rustic sensibility.
Distressed wood cabinets in a light gray play well off the walls and polished floors, all rustic in nature with a contemporary twist.
A banquette offers an additional eating area perfect for breakfast and doesn’t get in the way of that beautiful view.
The porch offers stunning framed views of the lake, with plenty of seating for entertaining and dining. Shingles line the wall for a creative, rustic texture.
Upstairs, more seating warms up the hallway and overlooks views from the windows across the open living room.
A perfectly tailored bed is juxtaposed against the rustic wood-paneled walls and beams in the master suite.
Gray shutters are a nice streamlined window treatment that brings more of the modern flavor into the room.
The silver tub creates such an interesting juxtaposition against all the distressed wood in the bathroom.
In one of the spare bedrooms, the focal wall behind the bed is covered in stone, mimicking the fireplace downstairs.
Any two styles can come together in harmony with some clever choices and planning.
Warm regards,
Megan
