There is something sweet and romantic about farmhouse inspired interior design. Rustic style puts a focus on natural materials and warm colors. It cherishes weathered looks and shabby chic, which helps create truly unique and highly personal design solutions. Contemporary rustic style is all the hype today and it is certainly here to stay for a long, long time.
What should you bear in mind if you decide to redesign your home in a rustic way? First of all, do use natural materials such as wood, stone and natural fabrics.
They are more expensive than their faux alternatives, but are so much more beautiful. Plus, the great thing about rustic and farmhouse design is that you can easily make use of cheaper salvaged or second-hand materials – rustic design doesn’t have to be perfectly refined.
There’s something special about weathered and imperfect materials that come with their own history.
Opt for a color palette in warm earthy or neutral shades. Off-whites, greys and browns are a great color choice for a farmhouse inspired living room design.
You can add a dash of color to make your design more exciting – color pops can sometimes make all the difference and help you go from bland to grand.
Of course, you may choose to stay more neutral and monochrome. In that case, make sure you introduce more pattern and texture – mix and match different materials and finishes to create a more elaborate look.
