JANE AUSTEN MEETS MODERN RANCH
A Cozy Autumn Refresh with Timeless Elegance
Step into a world where classic Jane Austen charm meets the rustic elegance of a modern ranch in the woods.
This autumn, we’re blending Regency-era romance with natural, cozy decor to create a timeless and contemporary space. Think sprawling fields, soft autumnal hues, and vintage accents — all with a fresh, modern twist. Here’s how to channel your inner Austen muse while embracing the warmth of a fall retreat.
Blend pops of vintage charm with classically modern fixtures
Sourcing vintage or antique pieces with ornate detail and intentionally placing them next to items with more modern silhouettes is the key to incorporating the Jane Austen allure without feeling like you’re straight out of Pride and Prejudice.
BE INTENTIONAL WITH YOUR LIGHTING SELECTIONS
Light fixtures are one of the easiest ways to set the overall ambiance of a space, impacting both the lighting hue and design. We’ve curated a blend of Renaissance-era wrought-iron fixtures and classic candelabras, paired with modern accent lighting to avoid veering into a 'dungeon' aesthetic. Instead, this combination enhances the romantic charm of the 19th century while maintaining a balanced, inviting atmosphere.
Embrace the outdoors like the english
The English have long set the standard for garden artistry. From sprawling hedgerows to intricate floral mazes, these courtyards were places for conversation, reflection, and daydreaming. By incorporating textures that mimic the beauty of nature—rich wood tones, raw elements, and fresh florals—you can recreate the inviting, peaceful ambiance of Jane Austen’s most cherished settings.
USE FORMAL FLORALS WHEREVER YOU CAN
The essence of a Jane Austen ambiance is often captured through formal florals, velvet furnishings, and rich jewel tones. To bring a modern twist to this classic style, we chose a muted sage wallpaper paired with simple greenery, subtly nodding to European botanical and floral designs while enhancing the rustic charm of a modern ranch.
