The term RUSTIC is pretty broad including many different design styles into it. In its most basic definition, raw and rustic describes a design which is natural, rugged, rough, aged. It embraces nature-inspired textures, simple and earthy colors, and ultimately an unpretentious, organic warmth. It’s basically bringing outside to inside. It is a special atmosphere of harmony with nature.
One of the defining characteristics of a rustic home, whether it’s cottage or coastal, is the use of natural materials in its natural condition. That means lots of wood and stone (both in furniture and on ceilings/walls), and fabrics like burlap and canvas. While making a concept for rustic interiors, one has to keep in mind about using all the materials in its natural state. Some key points for the concepts are,
- Exposing the Brickwork
- Beauty of Natural Wood, log, twigs
- Experiment With Recycled Materials – corrugated sheets.
- Some raw/ rusted metals – iron pipes for shelves, copper finish sanitary
- Raw concrete in ceiling, shelves.
- Color palette is having lots of shades from brown, green, grey, white, turquoise green.
- Use of some different/unique materials like Rope, bamboos, canvas fabric, natural leather, with handcrafted décor.
- Use of stone may be on walls, floor or simply just a stone wash basin on a wooden log counter.
This style differs with its exclusive inner strength which is in harmony with comfort and refined simplicity of real quality.
