What does rustic style mean?
Associated with idyllic rural regions, traditions and nature, this style enjoys a lot of popularity not only in our country, but all over the world. And this is because its essence is the same everywhere, despite the fact that it differs from country to country, having particularity given by the area, civilization and traditions. Therefore, regardless of whether we are talking about the rustic domestic style, the French rustic style, the rustic English style or of any other rustic style, it is based on natural materials such as wood, stone and plants, for the other – traditional reasons.
If you want to bring the simplicity, charm and warmth of this style in your home, but you don’t know how to do it, we give you all the information you need in the following.
First of all, you must know that to create a rustic furniture, you should not completely reproduce the appearance of a traditional interior. The idea is not to transform your home into an ethnographic museum, but to play the warm, welcoming and authentic atmosphere specific for the rustic style using some key elements. In the end, you can bring together rustic and modern elements in the same disposal, which you can harmoniously combine, in order to improve each other and form a whole unitary.

The warm, welcoming and session atmosphere of the rustic interiors is largely responsible for the chromatic palette based on beige, cream, brown, bricks, gold. So, the stars are colors Natural, earth, which you can highlight with the help of blue, raw or even yellow tones. The bright tones and strong contrasts have nothing to do in these agreements, therefore avoid them.
Being a rustic space, it is easy to understand that the floor must be made of wood, preferably unfinished, to transmit the feeling of authenticity. For example, a white or natural magnification is an excellent choice. To highlight it, place a handmade peasant carpet, a muffin or even a fur. It is not wrong even if you finish the floor with terracotta tiles in reddish shades or stone slabs with a coarse appearance.
They should be painted in light shades, such as white, cream, butter, sand, dusty blue. The walls covered with wooden panels are also very rustic. The panel solution can be adopted in any room in the house, but above all in the kitchen, bathroom and hall. However, be careful not to overdo it with this finish. Not the other, but after adding the other decorative elements, the general aspect will seem very busy.
If in other types of agreements the ceiling does not stand out, when it comes to rustic style, it is a real attraction. Initially, the wooden rays were structural elements that had a practical role, but over time they also acquired a pronounced decorative role.

The old pieces of perfume are exactly what you need. You can buy them at excellent prices from the antiques or you may be surprised to discover them in the bridge in the grandparents’ house.
