In our time, many are striving to get closer to identity. Simplicity and convenience have been proven to be conducive to relaxation. How to create an unusual and comfortable rustic environment? We offer ideas and design elements

Rustic components

When creating a new design in the house, it is important to understand what constitutes a given style. Inspiration has its origins in nature. The color should be calm, the materials should be natural, the subject matter should be.

Colour

When choosing a color scheme, you need to build on the base of neutral shades that prevail in nature. For a house, a room, a basic tone is chosen and a fantasy game begins, based on the contrast of shades. They are always darker than the main color. Curtains, furniture upholstery, bedspreads, walls, fittings are selected in several directions. It is brown, bronze, dark blue, ocher, dark green.

Subject:

• country house, • natural motive, • rural corner, • a shepherd's house, • a hut in the mountains, • French provence, • hunting lodge.

Materials (edit)

By creating a rustic look, you have a wide variety of materials to choose from. You can safely combine stone, fabric, wood, leather, iron. If metal and leather are used, then they should stand out in darker shades. Against their background, light and medium tones of wood, stone and fabrics are perfectly located. At the same time, the darker the main element, the more emphasis is obtained on the basis of the neutral scale. This is what characterizes the correctness of the design.

Furniture

Based on the theme, the appropriate furniture is selected. It is not necessary to completely saturate the situation and look for all the necessary items, two or three catchy ones are enough. This will set the theme and then just add elements. They should be consistent with the style and positioned thoughtfully, without piled up chaos. The main direction is the nature and attributes of rural life.

Country house in rural style

Each room should have shades of the chosen direction.

•

Living room aged in neutral tones. Choose upholstery of chairs and sofas with leather and densely rough natural fabrics. Pay attention to the legs of the furniture - this is necessarily a dark wood, which will accentuate the lightness of the surrounding materials. Include large metal rivets in your chair and sofa design. Chair seats are best left wooden or upholstered in leather. Place a massive armchair by the fireplace. This important design touch will make the space stylish and comfortable for relaxation. If you have a hunting lodge, horns, a traditional weapon, will be appropriate.

•

Bedroom has a central object in the form of a bed. It is she who needs to be stylized with the help of a large headboard. For this, aged wood, tinted metal, leather are selected. It is better to cover the sleeping place with a hand-made quilt or patchwork bedspread.

•

Table the most significant object that attracts attention. Its design sets the tone. If you correspond to the rural style, then include wood, iron in its design, stone decoration is also allowed. It would be ideal to include elements of primitive hand carving. The table top is not glossy. If there is a bedside table, whatnot, chest of drawers in the room, then they should be united by the finishing elements.

•

Lighting - key moment. The presence of candles in iron stands / candlesticks must be mandatory. It is appropriate to hang sconces, decorative lanterns with chain windings on the walls. The central chandelier is decorated with wood, wrought iron elements. Chains are used for hanging.

Rustic accessories

Small but expressive things will give your home the finishing touch. They will create coziness and summarize your efforts. First of all, these are pillows. They improve perception, add comfort. Pick up several pillows of the same tone (beige, alder, soft ocher, rust, dark green). The image on them has natural motives: forest scenes, wildflowers, animals, landscapes. It is appropriate to make covers from a patchwork cloth.

Decorate the walls with photographs, rustic paintings in wooden frames. You can make a painting above the fireplace or in the recreation area, highlight some places on the walls with tree cuts, pieces of bark. Make crafts from birch bark, branches, add cones, river stones to them. From the vine, build a floor vase for dry plants (cereals, ears of grasses, coniferous branches). Place a patchwork rug on the wall; it is also advisable to apply a similar option in the form of covers for an armchair, sofa, etc. You can dilute the rustic motifs with any details with things that correspond to the general theme.
