5 Steps to a Rustic Room

Everyone loves a rustic space. Come on, we know you have a whole board dedicated to it on Pinterest, or a whole ideabook for it on Houzz. But, when it comes to rustic design in your own home, it’s hard to know where to start. Well, we’re going to make it easy for you! Follow these 5 steps to a rustic room, and you will have a Home on the Range in no time at all!

1. Reclaim your space

Reclaimed wood is the first and easiest thing you can do to make your room more rustic. Think about it (or just look at your Pinterest boards)- everything that you have labeled as “rustic” most likely has some form of reclaimed wood somewhere. There are so many ways to use reclaimed wood in your space, and the cost and difficulty range from astronomical to miniscule. For a large scale impact, cover a wall, floor or ceiling with authentic reclaimed barn wood. The effect that barn wood plank walls have is incredible, they are beautiful, cozy, and pretty much make the room feel rustic without even doing anything else to it.

If you don’t have the money to spend on authentic reclaimed wood, or don’t have the resources to go tear down a barn yourself, try another method that is taking the online DIY design world by storm- PALLETS. Yes, pallets. Pallets can be found just about anywhere, usually for free behind a dumpster if you’re willing to haul them yourself. With the right stain and care, pallet boards can look just as perfectly rustic as barn wood does. And, technically, pallet wood is reclaimed wood, so there you go.

For a smaller scale project, focus your sights on other pieces that use reclaimed wood- mirror frames, benches, tables, the possibilities are endless!

2. Mix Materials

Mixing materials is huge in rustic design. If you’ve done your research, you’ll notice that the best rustic design pulls from a myriad of creative materials, some of the favorites being wood, stone, twigs and branches, leather, fur, logs and metal.

The more you use, the more interesting your space becomes. That’s really what rustic comes from- using what’s available and being resourceful with what you have.

3. Repurpose

Along the same lines of using what’s available and being resourceful, repurposing items is a major step in creating a rustic room. The rustier the better!

Image via Pinterest

There are so many ways to creatively turn old things in to new things, the only limit is your imagination. Also, when doing your own repurposing, think about how to make your “new to you” items useful. Create light fixtures, hardware, faucets, sinks, tables, chairs, or art. Take an item that was once useful for one thing, and transform it into a new item that is useful for something else.

Image via Pinterest

4. Disguise the new with the old

The next step to creating a more rustic space is adding a rustic or reclaimed twist to the more modern aspects of your room. Recently, we are seeing a growing trend in “hiding” large flat screen tvs. Yes, we all have them. No, no one really wants to see a massive black square in the middle of their wall. One of my favorite ways to make a tv a little bit more subtle is by adding a frame to it. If it’s a reclaimed wood frame, even better!

Image via Remodelaholic

You can do the same thing with your kitchen appliances. I know most of you out there are gasping at me and thinking “cover up my stainless? Excuse me? Oh no you don’t!” but really, I don’t think stainless is all that great. Just putting it out there. I would rather have subtle appliances (maybe with a wood exterior that matches or compliments the cabinets?) that contribute to a more cozy home feel, than stark silver ones that are not, in fact, stainless.

5. Bring the outdoors in

The idea of “rustic” comes from cabins, homesteads, and lodges where natural materials are widely available, but nothing else is. The last step to creating a rustic room is by using what nature has to offer. Some of my favorite rustic pieces incorporate really natural looking twigs and branches.

Image via Pinterest

I love tree trunk tables, live edge furniture, bedposts made from branches, and unique log work. There is nothing more rustic than feeling like you are a part of nature itself!

Image via Pinterest

If you follow these steps, you will be living in an adorable rustic home in no time. Do a little, do a lot, do whatever you want, but remember to make it your own!

Ask the Designer: Week 3

Hello and welcome to week 3 of Ask the Designer! We only have 2 Q&A’s for you this week, because we only received 2 questions- so let’s step it up here people! I know that each and every one of you has a question about this or that or how or when or why, and we would love to answer them for you! So don’t be shy, we’re all friends here- and you never know, your question might help someone else in the same situation! Ok, now that the lecture is over, let’s get going with Ask the Designer!

Question 1:

Joni asks: How do you know when to do carpet, wood or tile?

Answer: Here are our rules of thumb, however keep in mind that rules are made to be broken and it’s your house so you can do whatever you want!!

We use tile in a bathroom, laundry, entry, mudroom or kitchen. Anywhere that is prone to water sitting on the floor, or appliances overflowing. In our cold climate you will want to be sure you have in-floor heating under the tile or you will be hopping from one foot to the other as you brush your teeth!

When to use tile, wood or carpet | Home on the Range

Image via Home on the Range

We tend to use carpet in bedrooms where you want to step out of bed in your bare feet onto a soft surface. The other place to use carpet is for lower levels where you don’t want to spend the money for wood. Stairs can be carpeted if you have little ones running up and down them in stocking feet because wood tends to get pretty slippery and you wouldn’t want anyone to take a nose dive! Carpet is also good for deadening the sound of clunking feet, so you might want to use it in locations where there is a playroom, a child’s bedroom or a media room overhead.

Image via Home on the Range

Wood is my favorite! It warms up a room, adds character and provides a perfect backdrop for gorgeous area rugs, Wood isn’t hard to walk on like tile is, and wood goes with just about anything! I love wood in kitchens (oops I just broke my rule of thumb!) but I always caution my clients that if a dishwasher overflows while they are away and it isn’t mopped up quickly, the wood will cup and may have to be replaced. In the last 25 years that has yet to happen to one of my clients, but I have heard some nightmare stories so you do need to weigh the risks!!!

Ask the Designer: When to use carpet, tile or wood | Home on the Range

Image via Home on the Range

I have seen lots of tile in living rooms, wood in kitchens and carpet in bathrooms (I always want to go in and tear that right out!) so again, this is just a rule of thumb and you will want to think about how it works for you!

Question 2:

Mary asks: I have seen a lot of vessel sinks in friend’s homes and even establishments and i think they are nice-looking sinks and definitely a great choice. I wonder though, how much it would cost and is it possible to do the installation ourselves?

Answer: Vessel sinks are fantastic for bathrooms that aren’t going to get everyday use. As you mentioned, they are nice-looking and there are myriad styles and materials to choose from. If you don’t want to spend much money, you can go down to the nearest flea market and buy an old bucket that you can turn into a vessel sink.

Ask the Designer: Installing your own vessel sink | Home on the Range

Image via Home on the Range

We put a petrified wood vessel sink in a house we completed about a year ago, and it added a fun accent to a small powder room.

Ask the Designer: How to incorporate a vessel sink | Home on the Range

Image via Home on the Range

There are some beautiful glass sinks with leaves or fish in them, and hand cast bronze sinks that can cost several thousand dollars! Here’s a sink from Kohler that we put in an Arts and Crafts home. It isn’t too expensive and yet adds a nice touch.

Ask the Designer: How to incorporate a vessel sink for less | Home on the Range

Image via Home on the Range

I bet you are wondering why I said not to put it in a bathroom that gets everyday use. The reason for that is twofold. First, it needs to sit on a lower vanity – or you wouldn’t be able to get your hands into the sink. We usually keep the top of the vessel sink at about 36 to 38” depending on the style of the sink. If the top of the sink sits 8” above the countertop, then you end up with a 28” high countertop. That’s fine when you aren’t doing much in the bathroom except for washing your hands but it is quite low for a normal bath vanity.

The other issue with vessel sinks is that they tend to be messier. They are hard to shave in, or wash your face in. There is a splash factor going on with a vessel sink that you don’t get with a standard sink. But, again, that’s not to say that rules aren’t made to be broken- we’re just trying to give you all those extra little bits of information that you might not hear otherwise!

If you’re looking to go the DIY route and create and install your vessel sink yourself, here’s a little bit of helpful information on “how to”. Good luck on your project!

That wraps up this month’s edition of Ask the Designer- if you have a question that you want to submit for our next round, you can leave a comment right here on the blog, tweet it to us, or submit it through Facebook or Pinterest… we make it pretty easy for you! And don’t forget, no question is too big or too small for us to answer!

Spring Cleaning

Yes, it’s that time again. The time when the sun comes out, the weather warms up, and you inevitably begin to get that itch to change something- that “out with the old, in with the new” mentality. You may know it better as Spring Cleaning Time. It can be refreshing, satisfying, and also frustrating if you don’t know where to start. I happen to be in the Spring Cleaning Mode right now myself, so I wanted to share a few tips on how you can get the most impact while using the least amount of time and money. These little ideas are great ways to spruce up your space that will make it feel new to you, and also help you to usher in the Spring in your home.

First things first, we’re going to start with organizing. Cleaning out your closets and donating any unused items is a great place to begin, but what about all that clutter that built up since last year that’s right in the line of sight? Don’t cram it into the closet to donate next year. Instead, organize it, and incorporate it into your space.

For hiding clutter:

Baskets and trunks are a fantastic way to hide things in plain sight, especially things that you are going to use often. They’re great for pillows, blankets, board games, yarn, uneaten fruit cakes, you name it. You can place them on shelves, next to the sofa, by the door, or even use a trunk to create a coffee table with storage space. Try using a set of three differently sized baskets stacked on top of each other- bam, you now have a fashionable vignette as well as a place to keep your winter boots.

For organizing the clutter you can’t hide:

Instead of hiding your pretty things away, you can also display them proudly.

Try using an old ladder to hold extra blankets- it looks really good. Or, use stacked wooden crates to store DVDs to add a more rustic look while achieving storage goals.

Another great way to make a big impression with only a little bit of effort is on your bookshelves. Bookshelves tend to become catchalls in the home, and even if you don’t have a ton of stuff stacked on your bookshelf, chances are you don’t actually have your bookshelf styled. Use your books as design pieces- stack some standing up, some laying down. Then, add some of those clutter pieces back in! This is a great place to use them. Picture frames, small statues, trinkets, candles, whatever you have, just get creative with it! It will instantly add class to your space, creating a more put together look.

Once you get the “cleaning” part out of the way and are ready to buy yourself some new things:

Remember what time of year it is- let’s celebrate the fact that winter’s over and decorate for spring! Any range of colors from pastel to bold are welcome this time of year. For a subtle, put together look, try using different shades of the same or similar colors. For a more eclectic look, choose a couple of different colors to sprinkle throughout your space.

Here are a few different things you can use to create a whole new look for your space without having to completely remodel:

Candles-

Pastel candles are beautiful, and they smell great! Golds, light blues, warm oranges, or spring greens are perfect for this time of year.

Image via My Sweet Greens

Bowl fillers-

I don’t know what else to call them, but hopefully you know what I’m talking about. Things that we use to fill centerpieces, glass jars, or hurricanes. This time of year, try to stick with light colors. Seasonal greenery or flowers are great options, so are river stones, light feathers, sea glass, or grasses. Mix and match and see what becomes your favorite!

There are so many ideas when it comes to Spring Cleaning, these are only a few to get you started. Home on the Range has all sorts of things to help you towards your goal, including baskets, ladders, trunks, storage, shelves, candles, bookends, picture frames, and “bowl fillers”.

Using Google Sketchup for Design

Google Sketchup is one of our favorite new things. Have you ever heard of it? It’s a 3-d modeling program that allows you to build literally anything you want. Anything.

We started building with it in October, and have used it to create everything from small scale pieces of furniture and custom light fixtures, to entire homes that haven’t been built yet.

Sketchup Pendant Light | Home on the Range

We created this pendant light to put over a bar in one of our projects

We built this cabinet as one option for a powder room (that you’ll see below)

This is the kitchen/dining area for a project we’re doing that is just past the framing stage

We love Sketchup not only because it helps us to come up with ideas and address any potential unforeseen problems before they arise in real life, but also because it is an invaluable tool in bringing our ideas to life and allowing to help our clients visualize what we are talking about. We find that while some people are visual and can picture a whole in their mind after only seeing the parts, many people are not that way. People have a hard time seeing a fabric, a picture of a chair, a rug and some hardware, and taking those pieces to create a vision of an entire room in their mind. Without that visual, it is difficult to make decisions on what you want for your home. That is where Sketchup comes in.

This is the future dining area of a home that we are working on remodeling.

We build the floorplan, raise the walls, put in windows, doors, ceilings and floors, apply finishes, then add furniture, rugs and accessories. We can do a single room or an entire house, and since everything is built at its actual size in Sketchup, you can look at your nonexistent space from every angle, and even walk around the room as if you were there.

We begin with the floorplan, and often add dimensions to the image so we can see how much space we have

Sketchup TV Room Walls | Home on the Range

This is the second stage of a room where we add windows, floor and ceiling

Next we begin to try out different options to see what works, in this case we are trying to decide on a fireplace layout

TV Room Sketchup option | Home on the Range

We add finishes- notice the wood floor, ceiling beams and window trim

Sketchup TV Room Final | Home on the Range

Finally we end up with an image to show the client. This is our favorite layout so far.

We can easily change colors, switch between furniture options, or swap finishes. We can then position the room in Google Earth to get an idea of how much light the room will get and when based on any day of the year. Pretty neat, huh?

Powder room option 1 | Home on the Range

Here is one option for a powder room. We built the vanity and fixtures to exact measurements, and added the mirror and wallpaper from vendor websites.

Powder Room option 2 | Home on the Range

This is the second option for the powder room. Isn’t it so cool to be able to see the same room with different options? No more using your imagination!

The finishing touch that we add to our Sketchup images is with a rendering program. With the program, we apply light values to all of the materials in the model and render it and Voila! You have a photo-realistic image of a room that has not been built yet.

This is the 2d view pre-render

This is the rendered image of the Spa Bath. Amazing!

I hope you enjoyed learning about Sketchup today as much as I enjoyed telling you about it! If you are having trouble visualizing what your new home could look like (or more importantly if you need help to even create a vision of what your new home could look like) call Home on the Range today. Google Sketchup is only one of the many tools that we use to help you create your dream home using a process that is hands on, exciting, and ultimately satisfying. Let us know how we can help today!

Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Style House: Design Components

Last week, we took you on a photographic tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright style house designed by Architect Joe Patrick Robbins, AIA, that Lynne Bier is currently working on in Houston, Texas. Though commuting from Steamboat to Houston and “long distance design” come with their own set of obstacles, it is very exciting to be a part of such a fun and unique project. The “Prairie Style” that Frank Lloyd Wright pioneered has a very distinct look that is not often seen in the mountains, so working on this house is a new design experience and also a welcomed change of pace for Lynne and Home on the Range. So, without further ado, here are some of the elements that will be featured in the house:

While Prairie Style tends to use more rectangular and linear shapes, and the first pendant fits the typical interpretation of the style, the round geometric shape of the second pendant still works well with the Prairie style. It will be hanging in the two story stairway with the tall corner windows and will help to soften the tall rectangular shape of the tower. The bath vanity light fixture by Hubbardton Forge has a very Prairie Style back plate that is softened with the oval glass.

Another way that we are focusing on the linear in this house is through hardware choices. These elegant pieces are clean and simple, yet unique and interesting at the same time. The top pull from Emtek exhibits the linear form, while the bottom pull from Schaub is a softer, more contemporary interpretation and both are perfect additions to a Prairie Style home.

When using an abundance of prominent lines and strong geometric shapes in a space, it’s definitely important to focus on color, which helps to avoid an institutional feeling of starkness. Here are some of our color choices, I love the subtle greens, creams, and especially the coppery shade in the light fixture, which will help play off of the cherry cabinets in the kitchen cabinets and the custom dining room hutch.

Dining Chandelier by Hubbardton Forge

The master bath tub pulls the soft gray green into the bathroom and we will use the same color on the entry built-in cabinet and on the walls in the master bedroom.

We’re bringing the outside in by putting the stone from the exterior on the wall of the powder room – it will be a great textural backdrop to the Noche Travertine countertop and custom bronze sink.

Are you getting more excited to see the final result? I know we are! Stay on the look out for more updates about the Houston Prairie Style house as we progress. We are thrilled to be able to share this project with you!

Industrial Chic: The Product Post

Last week we talked about one of our favorite emerging trends in design: industrial chic. If you missed it, or just loved it so much that you want to read it again, you can find it here. As promised, today we are going to share some ideas for industrial chic products that are both unique and versatile. This product collection is specifically tailored to western and mountain style, but most of them would find themselves at home in (almost) any space.

This pendant light would be a perfect addition to an industrial chic space. Placed over a bar, a kitchen island, or along a hallway or covered porch, these pendants would provide an instant “old mine” feel to your home.

This old railway-cart-turned-coffee-table is another great way to add the glam factory look to your room. Though it would look right at home in an abandoned mine shaft, we have used enough of them in our projects to know that they also look right at home in a rustic mountain house. These tables become beautiful focal points in a room, and are sure to get lots of compliments from guests.

Oversized clocks are a great way to fill up large empty spaces in your home. They provide a useful service, and are also a creative alternative to using too many art pieces. This clock adds a great architectural element with its use of gears, which are a common sight in the industrial trend.

This little end table is a great way to add an industrial feel to a room without having to go all out. Placed on either side of a bed, or used beside a sofa, the brushed metal top, wheels, and mesh basket each contribute a subtle hint of industry that is not overwhelming.

When decorating your home, remember that less can sometimes be more. Try to incorporate industrial chic items with other softer pieces to prevent an institutional feeling of starkness. All of these pieces are available at or through Home on the Range, so make sure and stop by the showroom today and see how we can help you make your home industrial chic!

Whiteout Conditions: The Product Post

Last week we talked about an upcoming design trend, and how to translate that trend into your own home if you happen to live in a snowy environment. Decorating with white has reclaimed a spot on the top of the charts, but if you abide in the mountains, you may know that decorating in all white is a taboo. I mean, really, who wants to live in a snow cave?

But wait! There are ways to carefully edge around this no-no, and to create a stunning space that is not only warm and white and cozy, but is also chic as chic can be. If you missed last week’s post that covered HOW to design with white in your mountain home, you can find it here. Today, as promised, we are going to discuss products that will help you bring your vision to life. Would you be surprised if I told you that you can find all of these products at the Home on the Range showroom? Well, surprise! We have all this and more, and the best part is, if we don’t have exactly what you’re looking for, we are more than happy to help you find it.

Last week we talked about how important it is to use warmer colors and textures along with white when designing in the mountains. We absolutely love the leather, rivets, and distressed-wood-claw-feet of this stool/ottoman. It would look great paired with leather chairs, or with other white decor items.

This birch tree floor lamp is a great example of using “off-whites” to warm up your space, while also giving the all-white feeling. An added bonus of using a lamp like this is that it brings in the rustic/natural feel that we are so fond of seeing in mountain design.

These porcelain and pewter serving pieces are ideal for a classy, white winter escape. The color and texture of the antlers add a rustic interest to the pieces, while the shine of the pewter helps to cut the starkness of the white. These would be great used as centerpieces on a dining or coffee table, hung with other trays to create a focal wall, or used for serving at an apres-ski party.

Are you noticing our rustic trend here? These pillows are perfect for a mountain lodge. They kill two trend birds with one stone because not only are they fashionably white, but they also feature designs current favorite creature: the stag. For more on “Going Stag” read our post here. Also, if you choose pure white pillows (like the one on the bottom), make sure to surround them with other types of warmth, like burlap, off-white bedding, or a fur throw.

Speaking of fur, while our last product is not actually a white decor item, it IS a perfect companion to these white decor items. We talked about the importance of adding the feeling of warmth through textures and colors, and really there are few better ways to do that than by using soft, fluffy, warm, fur. A fur throw or pillow strategically placed in your space is an easy way to add a volume of warmth and comfort that is more difficult to achieve otherwise.

If you love what you see here, or are looking for a bit more inspiration in creating you white mountain retreat, come visit us at the Home on the Range showroom today! You can also find our ideas on Pinterest, or see more of our mountain work in our website portfolio. Stay warm out there!

Going Stag

Image via Martyn Lawrence Bullard

Get it? Going “Stag”? We crack ourselves up sometimes. But seriously, today we are going to talk about a new trend that is very “deer” to our hearts (oops, did it again). It’s a trend that brings traditional icons into the modern age: using antlers and taxidermy in interior design.

Image via Cote de Texas

I think this trend is developing as an add-on to the rustic cabin/mountain lodge craze that we have been seeing over the past year. And, just like with the cabin craze, it seems that people are re-creating a classic figure. They are taking the deer head, a rustic lodge accessory that is steeped in tradition, and turning into something different that fits a newer definition of style. Instead of seeing massive taxidermied elk glaring down at us with glassy eyes, we are seeing antlers incorporated into centerpieces. We are seeing smaller animal skulls mounted on plaques. We are seeing subtle signs of wildlife in the home that give us the overall impression of a rugged environment, without being visually assaulted by it.

Image via Pinterest

Now, if you are a lover of (live) animals, or are still scarred from that scene in Bambi (you know the one I’m talking about), don’t fret. You can still hop on the stag-wagon… we’ll show you how.

Image via Pinterest

In many spaces, hunting trophies are actually being replaced by faux taxidermy. Wooden deer heads can be mounted over mantles, and statues can take the place of skulls. Remember not to forego the purchase of antler accessories for “moral reasons”. Did you know that elk actually shed their antlers every year? In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the Boy Scouts then collect these antlers and auction them off to fund their program, and that is where the majority of your antler products come from.

Image via Spring Creek Ranch

You can also consider other ideas to enhance your room, like bringing the deer off of the wall. Using other stag accessories like pillows, throws, art, towels, etc. can really help you create a cohesive feeling in your space.

If you’ve just been absolutely dying to bring some modern tradition into your home, here are some ideas for you. These are all products that we have in the Home on the Range showroom right now! Don’t delay, or you could “deer”ly regret it (okay I’m done, I promise!)

Sneak Previews of Upcoming High Point Market

High Point Market, the largest furnishings industry trade show in the world, takes place October 13-18. The theme of the show this year is “Fashion Focus”, and many colors and patterns have made their way from fashion to home fashion. The 180 Buildings and 2000-plus exhibitors at High Point are buzzing in preparation for Fall Market, and here are some of the objects they are displaying in their showrooms:

Earth tones and grey combined. As this new Hickory Chair coffee table ottoman demonstrates, earth tones (tan, goldenrod, linen, etc.) blend well with certain greys. This year’s Market will have a wide variety of warm greys and cool greys and an experienced designer can customize a color combination that is right for you.

Hickory Chair ottoman.

Graphic Pattern. Fashion and personal expression combine in graphic patterns and unexpected colors, like these new pillows from Dransfield & Ross, shown in the High Point Market Fall 2012 Accessory Preview.

Dransfield & Ross

Quality wood. Consumers seeking long-lasting investment pieces will find quality furnishings in solid wood or solid wood veneer. Theodore Alexander‘s new pieces are made using time-honored traditions of craftsmanship.

Theodore Alexander "Brunello Nights".

“Greige” is still hot this market with neutral shades of beige, taupe and tan creating a backdrop for fun geometric patterns.

Reflective surfaces are also making a reappearance this market.

Pearson Furniture’s heirloom quality and timeless designs always appeal to us. We love the cozy reading corner below with its soothing color scheme with the interesting addition of the mirrored sideboard and geometric pillow.

Wunderley Pieces Provide Moroccan Touch

When we were at High Point Market, we purchased some lamps, rugs, and a beautiful inlaid mirror from Wunderley, a company that imports affordable decorative objects from Morocco and other Mediterranean locales. Wunderley’s objects enrich a variety of interiors.
