I love a good contrast, and what contrasts better than crystal clear Lucite with rustic textures??
Lucite is coming back -- did it ever go away? -- but a new trend has it being paired with rustic, earthy woods, giving a warmth to this starkly clean, modern material.
Lucite has been around for a long while, and I would say it was mostly seen in residential design with this chair:
Other designers jumped on that bandwagon and created other "ghost" chairs, and from there tables and accessories followed suit.
And a lot of times these Lucite beauties were set in modern environments, but sometimes traditional ones as well. Now, they are being combined with another current style trend: rustic. And it looks pretty good.
The obvious way to pull off this trend is pairing the Louis Ghost Chair -- or other Lucite seating options -- with a rustic table or desk -- something rough or worn -- or even placing them in a space that feels rustic.
As I mentioned before, chairs aren't the only items crafted in Lucite. Tables are also very common, and these can easily be paired with various types of rustic elements.
I think the clear table below is actually glass, but the idea is still there.
While it doesn't contain any Lucite furniture, I loved this space below with the clear stair "railing" combined with the rustic stairway. Such a great combo!!
As much as I like those spaces, I think the best examples I found of this trend were products that combined the two as one. Some of these are just simply amazing. I'd love to have some of them in my home!
This I am absolutely in love with!!:
I LOVE this!!
And this is just crazy amazing!
This is a great DIY for getting the look in your home:
And, of course, I had to get a little something quirky in:
Ha! Isn't that great?!
After researching images for this post, I was crazy inspired to do something similar in my own house. I didn't have any Lucite laying around, but I did have a glass table top not being utilized. Combined with a piece of OSB board for that rustic texture and a set of old metal chair legs, my new coffee table was born!
I'll have the DIY post up soon, as well as more photos, so be sure to check back, but here's a couple of teasers. (:
