In the world of interior design, “rustic” can have several connotations; and they are not always good. A rustic house can be a cabin decorated with animal heads. It can also be an uncomfortable interior with wooden furniture. And yet, it depends on how you adopt the style. It is quite possible to decorate your home with a rustic style; and elegantly. So, whether you live in the city or outside it, discover in this post some beautiful rustic decorating ideas for your living room.
1. Colors present in nature
When it comes to rustic decorating, the color scheme chosen can have a big impact on the mood created. Make your decoration by choosing colors found in nature such as the different shades of brown, green and gray. You will be sure to invite nature inside even if your furniture is not technically “rustic”.
2. Natural materials to cover the floor
The ideal would be to have a wooden floor. However, a natural fiber rug would also be welcome if your living room floor is tiled. This kind of rug will not only bring a rustic touch thanks to the natural fibers; your living room will also benefit from a nice texture.
3. Long curtains
Curtains are a must have for any home. They make a decor more warm, welcoming and they allow you to have privacy at home. Hang long curtains in your living room to make your walls interesting without having to hang decorative elements that don’t suit the style.
4. Checkered patterns
You might be wondering what patterns could be suited to the rustic style. Place a few checkered cushions on your sofas and armchairs. You will see for yourself how splendid it is.
5. A sufficient number of furniture
For some decorating styles, it is better to have more furniture. Obviously, we are not talking about minimalist style but rustic style. Integrate as many cozy seats as possible to show that you welcome your guests with open arms.
6. A perfect imperfection
You certainly missed that with raw wood and stones with natural edges, the rustic style emphasizes imperfection. So don’t be afraid to use vintage or worn-looking elements in your living room.
7. A removable sofa
You might think that it sounds like a farmhouse, but a sofa with removable cover is more than welcome in a rustic living room.
8. Rustic art objects
These are not necessarily bear photos. A board with other forest animals is also suitable. Don’t you find this rustic decor above to be both restful?
9. The frame
Exposed beams are almost mandatory for this type of decoration.
10. The wood
Who says rustic says wood! Furniture, table and even the walls are adorned with wood.
11. The stone
The exposed stone walls perfectly bring out the wood in this decoration.
