LOTS OF WOOD: THE KEY TO A RUSTIC DECORATION
We could say that it is the star material of rustic decoration. If you want your home to give off that style, don’t limit wood to furniture: walls, ceilings, and beams are the best setting to show it off. In addition, it will act as a thermal and acoustic insulator.
WOOD ALSO IN THE KITCHEN
True, years ago wooden kitchens were the most and, in rustic houses, they are still the most sought after. Of course, avoid too dark tones. Better opt for a washed-out oak, like the one in the furniture in this kitchen. You can even put wood on the floor, making sure that it is suitable for wet rooms.
MORE AND MORE LAYERS
Where? On the bed: with padded duvets, cozy blankets in winter, and light plaids for summer … And at the foot of the bed you can put a rug, made of natural fibers or long-haired, also depending on the season. Rustic decor asks for it!
RUSTIC CAN ALSO BE MODERN
Rustic decor is much more than wood, stone, and warmth. And it is that it can also have modern dyes, which install in the 21st century. Black accents, Berber rugs, and large fiber lamps help to relax you a bit.
ANTIQUES THAT FILL
A small piece of antique wood can add warmth to the space. An old console in the hall, a recovered desk, or a bacon table in a rustic kitchen will look great in its most original appearance.
AL NATURAL
The materials are shown as is, without artifices, such as the pinewood floor or the pillars of this house (which are actually logs). If you have a robust and dark floor, make up for it with light armchairs and dress it up with soft-colored shag rugs.
CUSHIONS WITH HISTORY
Recovered pieces, sheltered textures, colored objects… The homely touch of the rustic style reaches every corner of the house. Like these cushions, made with sackcloth. This effect also works with antique linen. linens and fibers, decorate it with the colors of nature, and even put beams on the ceiling. And that plants and flowers are not lacking, but not just anyone. Bet on wild varieties to give it that country air
RECOVER AND YOU WILL CONQUER
Give old pieces another chance. A forgotten door trip can be a beautiful headboard and grandmother’s console or a piece of office, the best piece of furniture for a hall with a lot of personalities. Even an old bench can be the best seat for the office.
WILDFLOWERS
You can dress your house in burlap, linens, and fibers, decorate it with the colors of nature and even put beams on the ceiling. And that plants and flowers are not lacking, but not just anyone. Bet on wild varieties to give it that country air.
