Rustic decor is a look that many people aspire to or choose as a
theme when decorating or redecorating part of their home. They
choose the style because it is homely, simple and can lead to a
warm and welcoming space.
Download Php The first thing to examine when looking to decorate in a rustic
style is what the term 'rustic decor' means to you. For many people
it conjures up visions of log cabins, country farmhouses and Shaker
style kitchens. However, most of us now do not have exposed wooden
beams in our houses, and so we must tailor our rustic decor to suit
the architectural style of our surroundings.

periods. You could, for example, choose a colonial or country

Database Php Colonial and country rustic decor is based on a very utilitarian
style. Items are practical and useful, and decoration and themes
are simple and clean. A country or colonial themed room can be
dressed with items such as handmade quilts and tablecloths,
earthenware pottery, and 'folk art' style paintings. For the more
extreme decorator, you could choose a conversation piece such as a
stuffed moose head or pair or antlers!

Php Xml Victorian style rustic decor is more romantic and not quite so
utilitarian. Try dressing your room with wicker baskets, and look
for flounced or ruffled curtains, tablecloths and bedding. Think
beautifully embroidered white bedding on a dark framed wooden bed,
or delicate flower sprigged curtains in a kitchen.

File Php The advantage of rustic decor as a theme for your interior
design project is that you can do as much or as little as you like.
The whole room or house can be rustic themed, or you can simply use
a few carefully selected accent pieces to bring a rustic feel to a
neutrally decorated room.

Php Upgrading You can even use functional rustic pieces to recreate the
lifestyle of the period - many old fashioned pastimes are getting a
new lease of life and can be integrated into your theme. For
example, why not purchase an old fashioned table based sewing
machine, or even a spinning wheel? Or for a less extreme solution,
how about a wicker basket in your room to keep your knitting wool
and knitting needles in?
Php Forum One of the keys to a rustic theme is to include plenty of
natural materials. These can be functional (wooden blinds, wicker
baskets) or decorative (a dried flower centrepiece, or a spray of
twigs in a vase). The natural materials can be used to achieve the
impression of 'bringing the outside inside,' which is used to great
effect by many of the decorators and room designers on television
design programmes.
Flash Php The key to rustic décor is to do what works for you. Don't shy
away from including something in your theme because you don't feel
it counts as traditional rustic; just integrate it into your
overall design. There are no hard and fast rules for a rustic
theme, so get designing and enjoy it!
