One of the fastest ways to add a dose of interest to a home is to
bring in some texture. Rustic furnishings do that with charm and
style.
Rustic used to mean 'rickety and cheap', but rustic style is all
grown up and now borders on sophisticated and trendy.
Beautiful woods, polished logs, and twiggy charm has made rustic
one of the most popular styles in the market today.
Steven Spielberg has some. So does Sharon, Rick, and Rosanna. And
even with all of that popularity and charm, it is, thankfully, one
hot trend that is still easily affordable. If you love the look
of rustic furnishings, here are some tips on adding it to your own
home.
Since rustic furniture is extremely textural, add it in small amounts.
An entire roomful may be too much to take in, while a few pieces
allow each item to stand out and be a star.
For example, you might add some bent willow chairs around an old
oak table, or include a few pieces in a cozy fireplace grouping.
Warm up rustic seating pieces with cushions and pillows. These
will soften the chairs visually and provide an additional level
of comfort. Fabric will also serve as a unifying element to tie
in a rustic piece with other items already in the room.
Consider using rustic accent pieces such as tables, mirrors, coat
trees or other accessories in guestrooms and powder rooms where
interest and charm is especially appreciated.
Smaller spaces like this can be theme-decorated in a rustic style
around a few interesting items, without committing yourself to an
entire house full of "rustic".
