Rustic themes are identified by the rigidness of materials and allowing natural beauty to shine through the interiors. Rustic interior design is characterized by a natural, rough, aged, and casual design style. This style is most apparent in the affluent country houses of the United States and Europe.
"Rusticity transforms the imperfections of the materials and elements into an aesthetical form."
The main emphasis of the rustic theme is on creating a soothing environment by focusing on the use of stone, wood, leaves, and other raw and simplistic natural elements. It allows the character of each element to shine through rather than focusing on the clean and sleek lines. From knots in the wood to rust on metal, this style celebrates and enhances elements in a significant way.
RUSTIC ELEMENTS
Rustic interior styles are all about being as natural as possible. This isn't the style for shimmering chandeliers, modern furniture, or cold color palette. With iron accents and hardwood floors, it emphasizes a warm ambiance and comfortable environment. Layers in rugs, woven blankets, furs, and reclaimed artifacts, are added for further depth. Inspiration for rustic concepts is being drawn from the mountain living and vintage styles. Unlike the luxe elements of other interior themes, the rustic decor style is simply unpretentious.
This mainly features wooden elements.
The more imperfections and roughness, the better.
The designs and compositions are usually intricate and chaotic.
Accents with other natural elements such as stone, leaves, and animal hides or antlers.
The emphasis is on comfort and creating an inviting atmosphere that doesn’t necessarily match.
RUSTIC COLOR PALETTE
Rusticity brings beautiful colors of nature from the outside to the inside. Colors like brown, blue, beige, and greens along with different shadings of each look inviting and natural. However, a predominance of wooden tones and finishings can create a space dark and heavy. To lighten the space, simple and earthy colors such as white and neutral colors can be drawn straight from nature.
The primary shades of the rustic concept are inspired by the surrounding environment.
Forest greens, rich browns, wood grains, and earth tones are all good options.
White shades enhance and complement other colors in the space.
Muted reds, blues, black, and checkered patterns can be used as accent colors.
Accessorizing can bed done by adding iron, copper, brass, or bronze for metal finishings.
RUSTIC DECOR
A fireplace, comfy couch, plush pillows, and modest antler elements execute well in highlighting the hillside residential feel. Weathered, raw wood is one of the most commonly used materials for a rustic style interior. This can be incorporated in the form of ceiling beams, and wooden trims around the doors, windows, and fireplaces. Rustics generally avoid shine and sheen elements.
The rustic theme approach relies heavily on wood.
Exposed wood beams, wooden furniture, hardwood floors, and wood-paneled walls are all alternatives.
The design involves chimneys, fireplaces, or wood-burning stoves.
The addition of a variety of cozy blankets, drapes, and cushions to the arrangement.
The use of braided rugs, and woven fabrics provide textured surfaces
Branches, pebbles, antlers, and vintage iron artifacts are used in the form of artworks.
