More modern than shabby chic, more feminine than log cabin. Also known as farmhouse glam, rustic glam is barn dance meets high fashion. Glitter meets plaid. In some ways, rustic glam is the ultimate expression in Southern home style.

Adding rustic glam accents to your home is the perfect way to achieve a sophisticated, adventurous atmosphere. Who wouldn’t want to come home from a long day of work, picking up the kids and running errands, and feel like you’re glamping?

But, really. What’s rustic glam?

It’s a natural twist on glam that lends a bohemian feel. Rustic glam style is cozy and textural. Think sheepskin rugs and glittering candlesticks, or live-edge wood columns or countertops paired with modern dinnerware. Marble and farmhouse kitchen cabinets, with sleek, simple, metal hardware.

Rustic glam is a great look for those who want their home to be pulled together, yet a little bit imperfect. Don’t be fooled by the touch of whimsy, though; at Hardwood Specialities, we use only the industry’s best materials, paint and contractors. Your home may feel magical when we’re done, but the quality will be no-nonsense.

House tour.

Our client wanted something unique and yet timeless for her home. In this case, we used rustic glam touches where most of us want to feel our most pampered: in the bathroom. We paired an antique-style, freestanding tub with the glint of brass feet, which matched the brass tub fittings. Finish the room with penny tile, and the whole thing comes off as opulent, but not over-the-top. It’s suddenly more than a bathroom; it’s a sanctuary.

Angie from Hardwood Specialties says:

“If you’re considering installing penny tile, there are lots of details to keep in mind. It’s a timeless and beautiful option, not to mention unique, and it wears extremely well. But you have to take extra care with grouting, and lining up each sheet of penny tile so it all appears seamless can be tricky. The contractors we choose for tile installation are some of the best in the business! They did such a beautiful job on this client’s project.”

Rustic touches:

Adding details like natural wood shutters adds a dash of earthy class to your home, and it makes all that pretty glam seem less fussy. That’s the appeal of rustic glam: it adds a bit of fancy to your personal world, but it’s down-to-earth.

Rustic glam is all about materials. At Hardwood Specialities, we’ll help you choose the right color and texture of wood, tile, lighting and fixtures to pull the whole look together.
