  1. Wood, wood, and more wood: Perhaps the most traditional element of this type of decoration, wood cannot be missing in any rustic style environment. Whether in furniture, coverings, or decorative objects, it always goes well. The type of wood, the color, and the quantity depend on the effect you intend to create.
  2. Apparent brickwork: The red brick is the most used, and the color, the area, and the type of finish chosen make all the difference in the look.
  3. Rustic non-breakfast room: The time when you had to spend days in the middle of dust and rubble to remodel a room is gone. For both floors and walls, there is no shortage of options for self-adhesive coatings or coatings that can be applied over an old coating. All to make life easier and save money.
  4. Don't underestimate the lighting: A good lighting system makes all the difference in any environment, right? And it is even more important in rustic style environments. By using a lot of wood and dark coverings, you may end up turning the environment into a dark and heavy place. To avoid this, bet on large windows, light curtains, and quality artificial lighting.
  5. Bet on earthy tones: Shades of brown, orange, and red go very well with the rustic style and make any room cozier. You can use these colors on upholstery, decorative objects, rugs, or even on the walls. It looks great!
  6. Natural materials: Whether in furniture or decorative objects, natural materials work very well in rustic decoration. Straw baskets, wood, rope, straw chairs, and many others are sure bets for this style.
  7. Total coziness: A comfortable sofa, a fluffy rug, blankets, and pillows are objects that may not seem important when setting up a rustic living room, but actually make a super difference. A beige sofa with cushions in earthy tones and a beautiful printed rug, for example, create an unparalleled welcoming atmosphere.
  8. Don't be afraid to dig: Furniture stores, antique stores, and street fairs often have amazing pieces for your decoration and for the most interesting prices. Antique pieces, furniture made of solid wood or demolition wood, among others, are great additions to your rustic room.
  9. Mix styles: When you combine rustic decoration with elements of other styles, you add value to the pieces you have and create a lighter and more dynamic environment. Try combining rustic with industrial or Scandinavian styles, it's amazing!
  10. Always green: The rustic style proposes to take the charm and warmth of the countryside to the big cities, so why not also add some plants to your decoration? They make the environment more pleasant, improve the mood, and the green still matches superbly with the earthy tones of the decoration.

Now, enjoy the incredible inspirations we selected to give you more ideas on how to turn your living room into a rustic paradise!
