Your Basic Guide to Rustic Furnishings

July 30, 2018

If the rustic setting appeals to you more than contemporary urban styles then here is your basic guide to making your interiors stand out. This guide is also perfect for people who are trying to recreate a “holiday cabin” type of vibe in their home as well:

Aim for Natural

Rustic furnishings are always about traditional wooden furniture and organic decorations that make you feel like you are close to nature. Although traditional rustic styles are still as popular as ever, there is a contemporary style emerging these days as well.

The more natural the furniture you have, the more rustic your space will look, whether it’s the tables, chairs, bed frame, cabinets etc.

Reclaimed Wooden Furniture

Although you probably want to purchase new furniture for your space, purchasing reclaimed furniture can be a good idea as well. Reclaimed furniture usually is made up of solid and high-quality wood that won’t get ruined with time, saving you money in the long run.

Ethnic Furniture

Mexican furniture is quite popular when it comes to decorating your home in a rustic setting. The use of actual grains and knots in Mexican furniture or in fact any South American furniture is quite unbeatable compared to others.

Avoid Paintings and Wall Art

The whole point of rustic interiors is to look a tad bit worn out and aged. It gives a vintage feeling so you might not want to hang any wall decorations or bright paintings. You can make an exception by using one at the most. Look for rugged designs such as rugs or wall tapestries instead.

Go for Neutral Colors

Simple colors and hues in furniture work best. Don’t use anything too flashy or in-your-face otherwise it will seem too out of place.
