Photos of 2013: The Most Popular Rustic Spaces

Rustic style mostly mixes raw materials, like unfinished stone and wood, for a warm, authentic feel that reminds you of being at a best friend’s vacation cabin or cottage, though the look comes up frequently in large cities, too. A rustic home has a certain kinship with its surroundings, most often a dense forest, rocky mountains or another remote landscape. It has a sense of ruggedness, strength and timeliness.

Here are the 15 most saved rustic design photos uploaded in 2013.

1. Rough, unfinished wood is a big element in rustic design, and you’ll see exposed, raw wood beams come up frequently in this list. Old beams, weathered floors and raw-looking wood stools make this the most saved rustic photo uploaded in 2013.

2. Stone accent walls feature prominently too. This one was made from four types of locally sourced stone in Denver. Reclaimed rafter stock material forms the ceiling.

3. So much wood without its feeling overbearing is what makes this rustic space one of the most popular of 2013.

4. I love the mix of various wood tones in this kitchen — light, medium and dark — especially the pairing of stone countertops with reclaimed barn oak.

5. A stone-clad bar coupled with lots of warm wood — alder barn doors, reclaimed elm floor — strengthens the appeal of this Toronto basement. Two other spaces in this cottage show up in the Top 15.

6. Of course the wood floor and unfinished beams make for a rustic kitchen, but readers really love the bright, open space flooded with light thanks to the custom windows. A floating wood shelf and an antler chandelier bring it all home.

7. There’s a reason you don’t see any art in this Minneapolis bedroom. The grain and knots in the raw, unfinished wood that clads the floor, the bed and especially the ceiling provide plenty of visual stimulation. Look closely and you’ll see an antler tieback for the curtain.


8. This is the living room from the Toronto home whose basement made it to the No. 5 spot on our list. A towering mixed-stone fireplace complements a reclaimed elm floor and wood beams.

9. This living room closely resembles the previous one; it has a good mix of stone (Montana moss rock) and wood, plus earth-tone furnishings and an open view of a wooded landscape.

10. Nothing says rustic like a log cabin. This one in Calgary, Alberta, got a modern treatment with an all-glass stair railing and steel treads wrapped in hardwood that extend from a stone-clad wall.

11. This is the kitchen in the Toronto cottage that secured the No. 5 and 8 spots on our list. The archway is a custom blend of natural stone. The countertops on the reclaimed alder island are antique brown granite with an Anticato finish. The side counters are walnut.

12. I love the warm, rustic vibe of these built-in bunk beds, but the unfinished wood door frame and wall accent are what really stands out.


13. Plenty of natural light helps keep this reclaimed barn-wood-filled kitchen from being too dark. I love the slab of thick, warm wood for the island countertop.

14. Built-in wooden bunk beds feature prominently in rustic spaces. Maybe that’s because the style is a popular choice for cabins and vacation homes, where extra beds are often needed.


15. This shed epitomizes rustic design. It sits in the woods of Santa Barbara, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Glass doors fold away, while side pieces fold down to completely open it to the surrounding forest.
