The rustic style is evergreen. So, if you are planning to decorate your home in that way, you don’t need to worry if it is still popular later. Besides, the odds are you will not regret it since the country decor is so relaxing and charming. But the process itself might be demanding if you don’t have a clear idea of what you are doing. Thus, we made you a guide with all the info you need for a country-style decoration.

What is rustic Country-Style? The perfect combination of comfort and elegance

Surely, you read and heard about rustic home-decor style more than a million times before. It was popular in the past, and it is popular nowadays. It is no question if it will be famous tomorrow.

Now, we bet that the first what you notice about country-style decoration is the mixture of comfort and elegance. It is both functional and warm, and there is nothing not to love about it! The furniture celebrates the genuine beauty of natural elements. So, it all has that countryside, organic vibe. Still, elegance is a must! But that does not mean that coziness is allowed to suffer. All furniture must be comfortable for use.

But if you are designing your home on your own, it is hard to tell what makes the style rustic? As you know, you do not need to live in the countryside. You could live in a busy city, but simply enjoying natural things. So, to have a rustic home, you need to follow the few key factors:

• Organic material
• Aged and distressed furniture
• Elegance
• Coziness
• Natural and neutral colors

Our recommendations

It is good to point out that rustic style is seen as heavy. What that means? For example, your kitchen table will have massive legs.

What colors fit rustic country-style decor?

Neutral tones are pretty much honoring rustic wall decor. So, that is exactly where you should start! Later on, you could add some colors. Why is that? White walls are a great match with natural wood furniture. In that way, you will keep the wood in the center of attention, while, for example, red walls would take away all the focus. Use beige, white, brown, and gray. And if you worry that your home will look too much boring, add some pink, red, purple, green, and blue. Bear in mind that hues should not be too vivid. Rather, make a mixture that will mute them a bit. What you want is a relaxing and calming result!

What Materials are Common For Rustic Home Decor?

Country-side style values the material that comes from the earth.

Wood

There is no way that you will walk into the rustic room and not see wooden things there! Our suggestion is to pick the real wood over the fake. Even if it looks a bit distressed, it is okay! Country style does not need perfection. Our bonus tip is to put wood flooring. That does not fit your budget? The alternative is to put laminate instead. It will still provide you the wood effect. Should you pick darker or lighter wood? The brighter would resemble as you are in the log cabin in the woods.

Stone

While wood is the most loved material, it is not ideal for every room. The bathroom would become rusty over time. Also, it is not suitable for the kitchen. For these two rooms, we are suggesting stone due to its durability. Plus, it will not take away from the cozy feeling.

You could also add some stone to the living room, buy creating a stone fireplace. Imagine sitting in front of one with a quality book and old, good wine?

Metal

All types of metal (iron, copper, and brass) will look great! But if it is too expensive for you, you could get copy versions. It is maybe not what you dreamt about, but it will serve the purpose! Use it for details and accessories.

Cozy fabrics

If you ended up construing a fireplace, you gained many benefits. But you put on the risk your wooden floor, which heat can destroy over time. What you could do to protect it is covering it with a hardy rug. Besides, it will add to the luxury, and it may even break the monotony if you choose some interesting color. This is also your chance for adding a feminine touch since rustic styles tend to look masculine. So what about floral woven design?

Another thing that will add to the luxury is a faux fur cover for the sofa. Plus, it is so pleasant to snuggle into it while watching the movie!

In addition to blankets, place some vintage pillows too!

Is there better sleep than the one on the linen bedding or from organic cotton? We would not recommend bedding with too many designs on it or with two vivid colors. Better stick with neutral tones.

Let the texture do the trick

So, rustic decoration is all into natural elements. As you could imagine, it will have plenty of textural variation. But that is where the beauty lies! You do not want straight lines and perfection. Scratches are fine. Knots are fine too. Timeworn things are holding the history. If you are on a budget, the good news is that secondhand stores are worth checking.

The industrial design in the rustic decor

First thing first, do you know what industrial interior design means? A lot of people have an idea but not a complete picture. The industrial style includes sturdy materials and worn-out furniture. Thus, it uses marble, stone, metal, and leather. And what is its connection to the country-style decoration? Industrial is inspired with vintage. What about the practiced colors? Grey, black, white, and deep blues. Yes, it again matches country-style decoration!

Do you have plants at your home? If yes, we are suggesting placing them on a rustic corner bakers rack. It is made from metal and wood, so it has that industrial touch!

Our recommendations

Are you a wine lover? We are! So, if you measure the time with wine o’clock, think about getting a rustic wall-mounted wine rack. It will surely grab a lot of attention from your visitors.

Our recommendations

Is Mismatched Furniture Allowed?

Yes! And not only that mismatched furniture is allowed when it comes to the rustic style, but it is also desirable! Different pieces you put together may look like you have been randomly thrown in together, but know that each has its purpose. For example, you could mismatch chairs around the table. It is the time for thinking outside the box! What is the point? It will make you like you are a collector, that has been collecting things over time. And that brings a sort of magic to your space!

What is the tip for bringing all together in the room? Take one piece of the furniture to be the central, for example, fireplace or coffee table.

The animal decor

The animal decor is cute for all of us who love them. But it is not just about the cuteness! It is adding both country-side touch and break the dullness. So, you could get a print of some animal and frame it. Or you could get some printed pillows. It could even be a tea towel or a paper towel holder!

Don’t over-accessorize the room

We have already mentioned with this type of interior design each piece has a meaning. Nothing is there with no reason. Yes, you can add accessorize, but keep it all overall functional. Otherwise, you will lose a country-style decor feel. The living room gives you a chance to be playful and even to add some art. But again, do not make unnecessary disorder.

The bottom line

According to naturalness, what is natural is necessarily good. Okay, you do not need to follow this physical theory. But you might consider using it for your home decor!

And you know how vintage is so popular? That is because the world is walking backward, embracing all the old values.

We hope that we covered all your questions about the country-style decorations and that you are ready to add elegance and coziness to your home!
