Move over quiet luxury, the modern rustic trend is one of the most prolific looks of 2024. Part of the trend's appeal is that it can be evoked with minimal effort, which we see clearly in Justin and Hailey Bieber's home.
In the singer and model power couple's house, a modern rustic look is created with only the ceiling. The Biebers' fifth wall is paneled in reddish, natural wood in a pattern that spirals inward. Variation in color creates an organic motif while the semi-gloss finish helps the wood to appear more contemporary. Using this one simple material, they celebrate this gorgeous interior design trend.
Why is the trend one of the biggest of 2024? In part, because it celebrates a lived-in feel over stark perfection. Nina Lichtenstein, Westchester-based interior designer tells Homes & Gardens: 'The rustic modern trend marries rustic elements with sleek, modern design concepts to create a harmonious balance between raw authenticity and refined elegance.'
She continues, 'More than that, this aesthetic welcomes imperfections by honoring the natural character of materials such as wood, stone, and metal. Perhaps more than any other trend, the rustic modern trend is synonymous with character-driven design.' With their ceiling idea, Justin and Hailey celebrate the varied beauty of these materials.
Furthermore, the Bieber's rustic decor idea became a trend for its celebration of the outdoor world. Hafsa Burt, founder of hb+a architects, tells H&G: 'Rustic modern look has the semblance of a modern barn, which more and more folks find appealing because of its natural setting.' The wooden ceiling gives the country charm alongside city chicness.
She adds: 'Lots of light, unpretentious finishes, exposed wood beams and ceilings, irregular stone walls, and a fireplace all are elements included in a rustic modern interior. This style offers a snug, comfortable, sheltered feeling that people crave in the chaos of modern living.' These natural materials promote feelings of calm and tranquility, which can certainly be felt when looking at the Biebers' space.
