Vast ceilings, antique furniture and rustic charm create an inviting homey ambience in any space – but rustic design goes far beyond log cabins and farmhouses.
Rustic chic decor embraces worn-in textures as an emblem of character. Exhibit those wood shreds which have earned their scars or celebrate that faded picture frame that tells its own unique tales.
Antique Lighting Fixtures
Rustic lighting fixtures help create a warm and welcoming ambiance in any space, be it chandelier or table lamp. From Edison bulbs that boast classic timeless charm, to lighting that suits every color scheme available – rustic lighting is a wonderful way to bring warmth into any room!
Chandeliers made from real or faux antlers are eye-catching pieces that add rustic charm to any living or dining area, and pair particularly well with wooden center tables and chairs. For further enhancing these chandeliers’ natural and rustic features, opt for candle-style bulbs for an authentic old-world vibe.
Wall sconces offer another way to add rustic lighting into your home. These decorative fixtures can pair nicely with wood-framed mirrors in bathrooms and make an eye-catching statement above rustic log walls or entryways, while they’re an excellent way to display hunting or fishing trophies and antique collectibles.
Reclaimed Materials
Rustic Charm emphasizes functional design, so selecting durable materials with long-term stability and sturdy characteristics are of utmost importance. Reclaimed wood from barn floors or beams is often chosen for furniture pieces due to its unique textures that enhance its rustic charm.
When selecting other materials, opt for an earthy hue with soft beiges, browns, creams and muted greens that creates an inviting ambiance in rustic spaces. This will complement natural elements well.
Rustic kitchens may include elements such as repurposed wooden buffets for storing dishes and tableware and antique mirrors with wrought iron details for reflecting light, as well as personalized signs with family names or quotes to add that rustic touch. Rustic weddings may feature mason jars filled with wildflowers or baby’s breath as charming centerpieces while personalized signs with family names or quotes can add even more rustic character.
Modern Furniture
Modern and rustic design styles may appear at odds, yet they can come together to form an inviting space. The New Rustic movement promotes harmony between rustic elements such as fireplace walls or an earthen floor tile and clean, modern lines; such as those found on Stelton rugs or GUS Modern’s Jane 2 lounge chair which combine clean lines with rustic charm for an eye-catching focal point.
Rustic style pairs beautifully with raw iron and natural linens, both of which can be refined to achieve more refined effects, or left uncovered to develop its own weathered patina over time. Linen can also add warmth and comfort in the form of tablecloths, napkins or throw blankets in the kitchen and living area; its earthy colors reminiscent of browns and grays round out this natural fabric palette perfectly.
Table Lamps
Lighting in any space is vital to creating the desired ambiance, and table lamps can add rustic charm to any area. When selecting table lamps for any room, look for those made with natural materials like wood and stone. Also ensure they feature neutral hues so as to not clash with existing decor elements in the space.
