Rustic Interior Design: Decorating Your Home With Wooden Accents

There are many different styles of interior design that are both stylish and trendy for your home. Rustic design mostly focuses on materials that are sourced naturally from the earth. Materials like real, unprocessed woods, heavy stones, and real bricks all fall in this category. If you’re looking for the perfect inspiration for your home, there are many ways that you can create a cosy rustic home look by incorporating wood into your living space.

Installing hardwood flooring

According to Decor Aid, embracing wood in your home is important as it is one of the main natural materials to use in rustic interior design, whether it is to create a rustic style living room or rustic bedroom. One of the best ways to incorporate a lot of wood into your home is with hardwood flooring.

Hardwood flooring offers a lot of benefits and it is a material that is one of the most durable flooring options on the market. The flooring options are beautiful and they give your home a high-quality appearance. They are an elegant, warm, and attractive flooring option and can make your home look spacious. It also helps that the floors are easy to install, clean, and come in a wide range of options.

Sprucing up your home with wood furniture

Wood is the most common material for furniture and is a good option for rustic decor, mainly because it is highly durable. There are several types and colors of wood from which you can choose for your furniture. If you want a bit of colour in your wooden furniture, then there are also painted furniture options that you can opt for as well. The Painted Furniture Company sells a wide range of handcrafted painted furniture in beautiful colours that can suit many styles of home.

Wood furniture is also easy to maintain and it can be used in any part of the house. Wooden dining tables and chairs, paired with stone floors, are great to help create a rustic style kitchen. Even a few wooden furniture pieces can pair great with rustic wooden window frames, doors, and beams.

Going all out with brand new kitchen worktops

If you’re tempted by a new kitchen makeover, you can also incorporate wood into new kitchen worktops. Wood is an excellent material for kitchen worktops because of its strength, versatility, and appearance. Whether you want a modern kitchen or a rustic one, wooden worktops will fit in great. The wood just might be in different styles and colours to suit the style.

Wooden worktops can also bring some warmth to your kitchen and are great paired with wooden cabinets and shelves.

Creating an alternative look with wall panelling

Wood panelling can enhance the appearance of your house, whether it’s used in your dining room, living room, or home office. It can add to the aesthetic value of your home and help you to add an alternative material to your walls that is not paint or wallpaper. In 2020, there were even many homeowners doing their own DIY decor projects to create their own handmade panelling.

To help keep a rustic look in your home, wooden panelling can be varnished and stained in whichever finish you prefer. If you would like to modernise it a bit, then you can always paint your panels in your favourite colours to match the rest of the room.

When creating a rustic look in your kitchen, there are many materials that you can use. Wood can be used in furniture pieces, stone can be used for flooring, and exposed brick can be used for the walls. If you want to further add a rustic touch to your kitchen, wooden shelves and accessories can match perfectly with the rest of the wooden decor.

Open kitchen shelves can help you to organise all of your items efficiently. Some of the smart ways to organise your kitchen this year, includes maximising your pantry space so that you can both see and reach everything easily. Clear storage containers can help greatly as you will easily be able to see when you need to stock up on new items.
