The key to decorating your bedroom with rustic charm is to invite the textures and sights from outdoors right into your home. After all, the rustic style of decorating is all about connecting with the outdoors. If you love the rustic and country style, decorate your bedroom with items from nature, along with natural-looking elements and other outdoorsy pieces. Here are some tips to help you create that romantic rustic bedroom.
Create a neutral blank slate. Paint your bedroom walls with earth or neutral tones. For earth tones, go with tan, olive and shades of brown, while choosing gray or white for neutral shades. Also, unless you have wooden flooring, carpet the room in an earth or neutral tone.
Bring in a rustic bed. If you can find one, go with a pole log bed. Otherwise, choose a wrought iron bed or a canopy bed like the Tamara Modern White King Size Bed by Nuevo Living. Add pieces of furniture that are rich with texture like a knotted wood furniture and pieces with a natural, worn finish like The City 6 Drawer Dresser Dark Brown by Zuo Modern. Also include a country rocking chair, pole log sofa or stick chair.
Hang a large mirror on the wall opposite your bed. Aside from creating the illusion of a larger space in your room, it will also provide reflective light and ambience when paired with proper lamps or overhead lighting. Get sconces with cream-colored shades to hang on either side of the mirror to give a soft light reminiscent of a romantic bed and breakfast.
Choose a comforter in a shade that will complement your walls. Cream pairs and goes well with tan or mauve on wine walls, or brown and sage green for cream walls. A shimmery fabric that reflects light creates a more rustic look in your room. Curtains in the same shade as the comforter will pull the look together.
Accessorize with flowers, vases, pillows and chandeliers. A chandelier hung at the foot of the bed creates a romantic ambience, just like the Roundabout Oval Furniture Ottoman by Ave-Six with an abundance of pillows. A foot bench with throws of complementary colors add old elegance to your room. Vases of dried flowers will give a finishing touch to your romantic, rustic bedroom.
Your bedroom should be your haven and respite from the world. And by decorating it with a romantic and rustic touch, you are only making it a more relaxing and welcoming place to spend hours in.
