Five Tips To Make Your Rustic Decor Beautiful This Winter

With the rustic flavour in your home, you probably already have a down-to-earth and cosy design. But bring that to the fore this winter with these tips to update your decor.

Textures You Want To Touch

To make your wooden furniture look warm and inviting, add some texture, such as in the form of fluffy cushions or rugs, and thick, luxurious throws on sofas. Think about comfort and cosiness when choosing the accessories you need.

Earthy, Spicy Colours

Your rustic look might be minimalist and based on neutral colours, but winter deserves a bit more colour to brighten things up. One or two items in a striking colour is just what the cold season ordered. However, make sure the colours work with the earthiness of rustic design, such as red, orange, brown, indigo and deep green. These are perfect for a lounge or to revitalise a sunny porch.

Go Natural!

Nature is perfect inspiration for your rustic interior revamp! Bring some sticks and pinecones inside, and place them on shelves or use them as table decor to add an organic touch to your home decor.

Turn On The Lights

There’s something about a beautifully lit room that can make it feel warmer. Now that winter’s here, it’s the perfect time to experiment with some DIY lighting techniques that are charming and rustic. Here’s a fun project: Take a mason jar, fill it with stones and pebbles, and place a tealight candle on top. Then hang the lantern somewhere it can be seen and enjoyed.

Rustic Patterns Seal The Deal

Some common patterns in rustic decor include plaid and animal print. These are great because they give the eye something new and interesting to settle on in a room, plus they work with your home’s style. Adding these patterns in small amounts to a room, such as with cushion covers or curtains, is enough to add more beauty to your rustic home.
