How to Create a Serene Home with Rustic Furniture

There are so many interior design trends that come and go as the years pass, but one has stood the test of time: rustic furniture.

Very few homes on the market won’t benefit from a touch of rustic furniture, regardless of how modern they may be.

In fact, the contrast of smooth,

sleek décor paired with the imperfections of knots and grains of wood is on the rise as modern fuses with rustic. This combination helps create a serene balance that imitates the calming feeling of being outdoors. And in today’s world, who doesn’t want a home that’s a little more serene?

To create your perfect oasis, it’s time to think past the bedroom.

So many people believe that if their sleeping space is serene, their entire home will emanate in peace. As many of us are well aware, that is hardly the case. If you really want to add the perfect charm to your home, it’s time to expand into other rooms.

Think about how a rustic coffee table would feel in your living room.

It’s easily paired with warm, earthy tones and topped with a few succulents or you can opt for a livelier coloring and design to mesh with an eccentric paint job. Since there are so many options available for the upcoming year, you won’t have to redesign your entire family room to achieve the results you’re looking for.

Rustic furniture no longer comes with the feeling of “roughing it” out in the woods.

You’re not limited to natural coloring and plain designs like you once were. Now you can add accent colors, sleek modern additions, and a number of accessories that will take your home from stressful to serene. Rustic furniture adds a flare of elegance that other materials can’t beat.

If you want to take your home to the next level,

you may want to consider adding some sliding barn doors made from reclaimed wood. Doing so will dramatically transform any room and is a highly sought after interior design trend.

After you’ve found your new rustic furniture, consider adding some accessories to really boost the serenity.

Some of our favorites include reclaimed wood candles (or any candles really), rustic planters with houseplants inside, small, antique accessories, mason jars, and open shelving. In the bedroom, try hanging some lights across your headboard, finding a unique lighting fixture for reading lights, or adding a few matching pillows to your bed. Remember, to find you’re serenity, find things that speak to you and pair them with the rustic charm in each room!
