Decor in rustic style

Hi guys, hope you all are doing well. Do you like the decor in rustic style? I love that! Before it was used in beach houses and farms, it has broken into cities and comes conquering more and more adepts. It is no wonder, it is a kind of affective decoration, bring this thing of wooden, straw, stone, elements that take us to nature and our countryside ancestry.

The cool is that the rustic style values the nature aspects and its beautiful imperfections, like wood design and furniture naturally worn out and with much history. It is also something exclusive, after all, no wooden is equal to another, and no piece gets old in the same way.

Characteristics of the rustic style

The rustic style decor forwards to simplicity, for this reason, the wood should be crude, without any finishing, furniture made with pallets and demolition wood are very welcome.

The fabrics will afford good sensorial experiences, like wool, cotton, knitting blankets, and handmade pillows will give an excellent combination with upholstery in linen and leather.

The colors are neutrals and earthy, like tons of brown and burned red. On the walls, it is common to leave apparent bricks, with their time marks. For the floor, wood and burnt cement are great choices. The problem is that the wood requires a little more careful, for this reason, today there are many alternatives that imitate this standard like porcelain and vinyl which are practical, and the effect is incredible.

Chose some handcraft pieces made of clay, straw, and bamboo to give that touch of affection that only the objects which were made by hand are capable to give us. Items in iron get also great, like lamps, old iron, and candlesticks.

A iluminação é leve e indireta, para trazer aquele aconchego de fazenda, mesmo que a casa esteja em uma área urbana.  Eu falei acima sobre os castiçais, mas também fica muito bacana colar vela em uma garrafa e deixa a cera escorrer, dá um clima dramático e adiciona personalidade. E claro, não pode faltar plantas né gente! Aproveite as flores das árvores locais e coloque em um bule antigo, ou em alguma outra louça de família.

Do not forget to place books, after all, it is delightful reading a good book with a glass of wine, a little blanket, and good surrounding music.

Rustic style and its combinations

It is perfectly possible to combine a rustic decoration with elements of other styles. A modern home can gain some elements of demolition wood. This mixture will make an interesting counterpoint, will take comfort to the ambient.

It gets also very beautiful if we place some classic furniture in a rustic ambient, it adds a touch of the “Provence” to decor. That is another style beautifully rustic and full of history, do you want to know more about it? So, let’s go.

Decor in provencal style

The decor in Provencal showed to the light in France in the century 16th, in the region of Provence. In this time, the peasants, in tentative of copying the rococo furniture of the palaces, started to produce their own pieces. As they utilized low-quality material, they painted white to hide the imperfections, for that, they applied a mixture of glue and plaster, that as times goes by, they got worn out. In this way, they created this so peculiar style, which allies rustic with the sophistication of classic furniture.

Different from the rustic that we looked at above, in the Provencal, the colors are clearest, as white, lilac, pink, and blue. It is common the usage of wallpaper in some points, with prints that show the countryside life or even the striped.

On the furniture, the white and wood with worn-out aspects prevail, pieces with design more far-fetched, full of details and chandeliers pendant of crystal mark presence and reinforce the air of sophistication and elegance, very typical of Provencal style.

Everything this in the middle of walls and rustic floors, in stone, wood, and apparent brick. An elegant combination full of personality.

To finish, I just would like to say that whether you like this kind of rustic decoration or in Provencal style, but you live in a big city full of buildings, do not intimidate yourself with this! Imagine that delightful to get out of frenetic rhythm and get in a comfortable ambient that forwards us to the countryside and invites us to a more introspective and relaxing moment. A wonderful, do not you think?

I would like to know your opinion about these two styles, tell me here in the comments, I will love to read that.
