The modern rustic aesthetic is booming in the home scene right now. It gives a home a very cozy, inviting feel, so it’s no wonder that it’s so popular. And if you’re looking to get this aesthetic, there are some basic elements you can add to your home. Let’s look at How to Achieve a Rustic Look in Your Home with These 4 Elements!
Cooper roofs
Copper roofs are the epitome of rustic design. They are elegant and classy, and they will last a lifetime. In fact, a copper roof will last a minimum of 75 years. They are more expensive than typical asphalt shingles, but truly are worth the investment.
Fireplaces
If you want the rustic look in your home, a fireplace is the way to go. Incorporating one or multiple fireplaces that burn real wood will create the ultimate feeling of intimacy in your home that the rust design often emulates. Not only do they look great, they’re practical, too. You can save on your heating bills when you cozy up by the wood burning fireplace.
Wood elements
Wood is the backbone of a rustic design. Wood floors, wood furniture, wood beams on the ceiling, and other only simple wood touches you can add to your home will glow with rustic charm. The best part about wood elements is that they last a long time. Consumers expect wall decor and wood furniture to have about a 15-year lifespan or more comparatively, and that expectation can be met with ease.
Neutral colors
When you think of rustic, your mind probably floats to a soft, neutral pallet. Colors like soft white, beige, grey, and other earthy tones are great when creating a rustic design. These colors go well with wall paint, furniture like couches, and even small accents like throw pillows or blankets. Small pops of bright color do well, but they shouldn’t be too overwhelming.
No matter where in the world you live, a rustic theme will look gorgeous in your home. Try out these elements and more to give your home the rustic makeover you’ve been dying for.
