What Is Rustic Style?

You might be wondering what makes a style rustic. Like many living room styles, the rustic style has evolved over the years. For many decades, “Rustic” reflected log cabins, paneled wood walls, and leather furniture. Rustic-style living rooms may borrow elements from Farmhouse or Shabby Chic, but Rustic is a style all its own.

While these particular elements are still considered to be rustic and popular among some decorators and homeowners, the rustic style has lightened up and expanded a bit.

Natural Elements

Natural elements are a big part of a rustic-style living room. Whether you collect botanical prints, have exposed wood beams in your ceiling, or have furniture made out of reclaimed wood or metal, the rustic style is reflective of nature and more simple life.

A rustic living room may have a fireplace or wood stove as a focal point rather than a big-screen TV. Rustic living rooms are a place to connect with others or to enjoy quiet time alone, looking out the windows and enjoying the beauty of a sunset or wildlife in the backyard.
