Furnishing the house in a rustic style: tips and mistakes to avoid
But what are the best practices for creating a rustic-style home that never goes out of style? And what are the mistakes not to be made? Here are some tips:
- Wood , stone , iron , antiqued brass are the materials par excellence of the rustic style. Make sure that they are predominant already in the design phase: raw wood and stone are, together with terracotta and travertine, ideal for flooring, while iron, antiqued brass and wood are perfect for furniture and furnishing accessories;
- For the color of the interior walls, opt for white or neutral shades, avoiding bright colors. Then identify a wall or a partition to be covered with real bricks: this will allow you to create a sober and at the same time extremely graceful and convincing contrast;
- Choose to install a built-in kitchen , possibly equipped with a corner fireplace, in a rustic or shabby chic design;
- If you decide for wooden furniture , make sure it is as natural as possible: the more its original texture is enhanced, the better!
- Add a touch of greenery, placing a plant, a few pots and, why not, some splendid cactus specimens in each compartment;
- Carefully select the furnishing accessories: from candles to curtains, from vases to paintings, from copper pots to carpets to soft lights, everything must speak the language of rustic and antiqued.
But be careful not to get carried away: rustic does not mean a random mixture of objects! For a chic result it is good to stick to a minimal spirit, slowly studying the arrangement of the contents and avoiding the temptation to fill the house with the superfluous. And your environments will gain in elegance and airiness!
