How to decorate in rustic style?

What are the characteristics of rustic style?

Rustic style is an interior trend that has been gaining popularity recently. It draws inspiration mainly from the nature that surrounds us. It mainly uses materials of natural origin such as wood, rattan wicker and cotton. The colors chosen are neutral, imitating nature i.e. shades of brown, white, green or beige. Lighting is most often atmospheric. In addition to the strong light of ceiling lamps, the interior is illuminated by a large number of walls and standing lamps, which make the room seem warmer.

What kind of furniture to choose when decorating in rustic style?

For such an interior, wooden furniture is ideal. When choosing materials for rustic decor, in addition to wood, rattan and wicker are often used. To get a rustic look, the furniture does not have to be old at all, but massive tables, chests, sideboards or chests of drawers will fit perfectly into the assumptions of the rustic style. Using a lot of wood and solid colors, it is easy to give the impression of a dark and monotonous interior. Therefore, when choosing a sofa or armchair, it is best to opt for a simple design and bright colors that will help brighten and enliven the space. When choosing furniture in the rustic style, the most important thing is to strive for minimalism and simplicity so that the interior seems organized and spacious at the same time.

What accessories to opt for when decorating in rustic style?

 Among other things, curtains made of natural materials like linen or cotton will complement the space well. Such unique accessories as macramé wicker baskets and textiles are also common. Rugs, woolen thick blankets, linen canvases will make the interior cozy and cohesive. Lamps also play a big role. The right lighting will make even the simplest interior a truly homey atmosphere. Wall lamps, low-hanging ceiling lamps as well as standing lamps will work well.
