The Rustic Look

By Abbie Osborne-Wilson


If you're a person who loves nature and wants to bring that look into your home, try the rustic style. This look is all about unrefined, and an untamed feel to the rooms. So if you feel at home with nature, bring it in to you by putting in some rustic feel to your decor.

When you walk into your home you want the stress to peel off of you, and if you feel at one with nature you will surely feel this by a great rustic style. It's been proven that colors that are in rooms will affect the way you feel, as well as the decor that are placed in these rooms will help you relax. With the rustic style it's about stone, wood and metal. The style is one that will not only bring a simple feel into your home but also an elegant and natural look.

Nature has many faces and so does your imagination too! Though nature would vaguely be mountains, greenery and rivers, the finer details would surely vary based on the place you stay. There are different styles you could use to decorate your home like the farmhouse style where they use bright colors like yellow and red and bold prints too. You could choose the American cowboy style where the concept would revolve around saddle, horseshoes or antlers. You could use logs that to decorate your space, a concept widely used in many hotels and lodges specially situated near the lake front. If you want to have a countryside look, it is certainly about sober colors, accessories that are very down to earth. This look would strike you for its down-to-earth nature. The house designed with the rustic look will make your dream of sleeping in the lap of nature certainly come true.

You won't need to spend a lot of money bringing in this look to your home. You can find some great deals by shopping around at flea markets or second hand stores even. Remember that it's all about bringing in nature to your home, and getting that same relaxed feeling you feel when you out there.

Rooms with a rustic look are a pleasure lounge around in. They are simple to create too. There are rustic area rugs available in the market. The designs that primarily adorn this area rug are bears, pine cones etc. You could select ones in shades of brown or even green. Braided area rugs or hooked wool area rugs can be custom made with designs of forests or wildlife to match the walls painted with subdued shades. Rustic area rugs could be used for decoration. They come with floral designs and motifs.

If you are a true nature lover and you always wanted a house like this, then, it is time for you to bring your dream to life. You can create a rustic look without having to spend exorbitant amounts of money by just using your imagination and creativity. If you are convinced that rustic style is a unique mixture of convenience and class, get going to make it a reality.
