Rustic Design FAQ

What is Rustic interior design?

Rustic interior design brings the outdoors in with raw, natural materials. Think reclaimed wood, stone, exposed beams and earthy colors, with a focus on texture and imperfection.

How do I make my living room Rustic?

Use a leather or textured sofa and a chunky wood coffee table as the base. Add wrought-iron lighting, a wool or hide rug and warm earthy colors. If you have a fireplace, make it the focal point.

Is Rustic the same as Farmhouse?

No. Rustic is heavier and more natural, with dark wood, stone and a cabin feel. Farmhouse is brighter, with white walls, painted wood and vintage country accents.
