Choosing Furniture With A Rustic Look

A rustic interior is a perfect amalgamation of rugged sophistication and natural charm. It brings together the ethnic flavor and cultural traditions. Rustic interior adds a warm, unpretentious and inviting aura to the place.

Wooden furniture forms the base for a rustic theme. The furniture usually shows off the texture of the parent wood and flaunts the natural curves of the wood. The laid back concept of rustic décor is complimented by natural, stained or painted furniture in warmer or neutral colors. White and beige are key base color choices when decorating a living room in rustic style as these colors blend well with other color palettes.

Choosing the right furniture for a rustic setting requires research and thoughtfulness. Here are some tips to get you started:

• Opt for furniture in simple, unfinished look as it brings forth the natural beauty of the wood used for making the furniture.
• Salvaged wood furniture adds warmth to the home and reminds of the rustic touch of the country homes. It also provides a balancing contrast to the metallic accents of the homes.
• Although, wood is the classic choice for rustic furniture; however, wrought iron is also a widely used element. You can incorporate a piece of iron furniture to make it look distinct in a room full of wooden elements. It can be a perfect choice to use a bed with iron frame in a bedroom designed with wooden furniture as the bed will thus become the focal point.
• The furniture pieces with rustic style are usually large or hold visual weight. Thus, it is important to choose the size of the furniture wisely considering the size of the room. A large piece of furniture may make a small space crowded, wherein a small piece of furniture may lose visibility in a spacious room.
• Make sure to check the quality of the wood that has been used to make the furniture specially, the joints and the edges. Look for furniture made from quality hardwood like hickory or maple.
