A subtle patina, aged metallics, shots of black, and flecks of gold are some of the most effective distressed finishes to add a touch of rough luxe to your home. The modern country home design movement is all about toeing that fine line between luxury and rustic charm.

To bring out a tinge of roughness, consider applying a wallpaper with some patina and an antique effect that adds a stroke of sophisticated drama to a modern area.

These are the eight designs you can't miss!
