Rustic Decorating
by Giorgina Devereaux
Rustic decorating and furniture add charm, style, interest, and texture to a home. Although
Rustic used to be comparable to cheap and worn, this style is now
considered sophisticated and en vogue.
The
look of Rustic decor consists of
beautiful woods,
polished logs, and has
a twiggy appearance.
To incorporate Rustic furnishings in your home,
consider adding it in small amounts since it is very textural.
A
roomful of this furniture may be a bit much, but if a few pieces are
added, it gives each item the opportunity to stand out and shine.
To add warmth to rustic seating pieces, consider placing cushions and
pillows on the chairs. This will soften the look of the chairs and add
comfort.
Also, the fabric will tie the Rustic pieces in with other
existing elements in the room.
Kitchens,
casual dining rooms, or covered patios might be the ideal areas for a
Rustic dining table.
It’s the just the thing for a Fourth of July
family picnic or a cozy Christmas dinner table set with a center piece
basket of evergreens.
To accentuate other areas, consider adding Rustic
accent pieces such
as tables, mirrors, or a coat rack in guestrooms or powder rooms. In
doing so, these smaller areas can be part of the Rustic style.
You can also make outdoor
spaces rustic by surrounding arbors, benches, trellis pieces, and
chairs with plants and gardens.
