Nothing beats the warming, cosy embraces of the rustic look. The trend\u2019s comforting, lived-in feel brings a homeliness that works well whether you live in a city apartment or a rural country home, which makes this type of design a versatile, timeless addition. So, if you\u2019re loving the style, here\u2019s a few how-to tips to help you nail the rustic look.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keep it Rustic<\/h2>\n

The rustic ethos is all about creating a unique, cosy atmosphere that takes advantage of not-so-perfect pieces and celebrates the rugged appeal of well-loved furniture. Upcycling \u2013 the process of taking old furniture and renewing it \u2013 is becoming more and more popular, allowing homeowners to achieve the shabby-chic, rustic vibe and breathe new life into existing d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Make Use of Reclaimed Furniture<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t trust your ability to upcycle then a great alternative is to invest in reclaimed furniture. Often taken from multiple sources, reclaimed wood provides a great way to bring a more rustic feel to your interior design. You\u2019ll find that every piece is unique and carries its own nuggets of charm, whether that\u2019s a knotted appearance or distressing from the wood\u2019s previous life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Nature in the Home<\/h2>\n

As you may expect, nature should be the key element in all your design decisions. Take a trip to your local woodland for inspiration, taking note of the different materials and textures you find among the natural surroundings. Wood deserves its own space in the home, so we\u2019d recommend looking at some\u00a0wooden dining tables<\/a>, bedsteads and coffee tables \u2013 each of these items usually take centre stage in their given spaces within the home.<\/p>\n

Bonus tip: Try adding a touch of greenery to your home; plants, flowers and vases can go a long way to helping you achieve the rustic look.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colour & Lighting<\/h2>\n

The most common colours in rustic settings are natural browns, beiges and creams: these will bring a neutral tranquillity to your interior design and open up the space for punchy accessories \u2013 yes, your new rustic-inspired space can pull these off. Bolder pops of colour are great for showing off your personality and mimic the pockets of flowers you\u2019d usually find in nature.<\/p>\n

Steer clear of bright, white lighting, however; it\u2019s too harsh and can instil a cold, clinical atmosphere that\u2019s not befitting of the design you\u2019re trying to achieve. Opt for warm, adjustable lighting and textured shades for the cost, natural look.<\/p>\n

Be Proud of Your Home\u2019s Features<\/h2>\n

Your home\u2019s natural features can often be the focal point for your rustic-inspired endeavours. Period features such as fireplaces and bare walls can be highlighted or accented by the use of furniture and accessories. Decorate your mantelpiece with natural elements or wood-carved ornaments, or try implementing a log stand nearby to really draw the eye to your room\u2019s natural features.<\/p>\n

Bare walls, wood panels and exposed piping work brilliantly when combined with reclaimed materials and furniture \u2013 but the point is to embrace these homely staples, they\u2019re unique and add plenty of character to the space.<\/p>\n

Adding Texture<\/h2>\n

The most cost-effective way to add a rustic spin on your existing interior design is to add texture. We\u2019re talking woven textiles, textured patterns and natural materials; throws, cushions and rugs are examples of each of these and will quickly change the dynamic within a room for minimal outlay.<\/p>\n

Animal hide rugs, whether synthetic or real, are a great way to aid or inspire the rustic feel in a living space, as are woven throws and natural materials elsewhere in the room.<\/p>\n
