Rustic

Rustic Interior Design draws heavily on the influences of the outdoors and nature. Words like “rugged”, “lodge” or  “organic” are often used to describe rustic style. The overall feel of this style is casual and there is usually a heavy use of wood and stone in both architectural embellishments and furnishings.

Color is typically reserved for accents and is kept to a minimum. Organic materials like animal hides, horns and artistic depictions of nature and animals is significant in rustic design. There is not typically a lot of art in rustic design and most art is used to impact and highlight the overall style. The same can be said for the soft touches like window treatment, area rugs, secondary furniture and bedding. Most all of the soft goods in a rustic space are chosen more to simply enhance the overall style rather than contrast it.
