How to Add Rustic Style to Your Home

If you want to make your home a perfectly peaceful dwelling for your family and friends, consider adding rustic style to your rooms. Characterized by nature-inspired textures, organic warmth. and natural charm, rustic style is gaining popularity. You may have seen it added to houses on fixer-upper shows—the style completely transforms tired, dull spaces.

Luckily, you don’t have to live in a log cabin to be surrounded by rustic style! Sam Levitz has some wonderful selections to add warmth and comfort to your home.

What is Rustic Style?

First, let’s define what rustic style entails. Simply put, rustic style places an emphasis on natural, unpretentious beauty. It is casual, rough, and aged, and embraces simple, earthy colors. Rooms with a classic rustic style make you want to stay in them for a long time, soaking up the coziness. From reclaimed wood and simple designs to warm color palettes, rustic styled furniture is sure to make for a comfortable space.

Rustic furniture design is intended to feel a bit undone, with a little roughness to the pieces. Many designs incorporate reclaimed wood, stone, and driftwood. This style is never perfect or cookie-cutter, which adds to its appealing character. The idea is to create a freeing space that presents simple luxuries and humble elements with both historical and contemporary influences.

Some common rustic style elements include:

• Earthy colors
• Natural wooden elements
• Distressed metal
• Weathering
• Contrasting textures
• Whimsical shapes
• Visible wooden grain
• Unfinished stones
