We don’t want to add another task to your to-do list, but these cozy homes are too great to ignore. And sometimes it’s just nice to shake things up a little from year to year. So what actually falls into the category of rustic décor? This can encompass anything that is refurbished or reclaimed, antiques that you’d find at your local shop, and items that contain natural materials like wood, wicker, plants, jute, etc. You’ll find many pieces below that have been reclaimed or refinished like coffee tables, end tables, console tables, mirrors, wall hangings, and more. There are also many designers who incorporate foliage and plant life that reflect the seasons like gourds, wheat grass, pampas grass, and peonies. Colors are also a big component in rustic decor, often leaning towards warm undertones and earth tones such as green and brown. Neutrals are easy to use to best achieve this design style.
Take a look at the décor pieces the designers below utilized to create relaxing rustic spaces within their homes according to the seasons. After you see these beautiful rustic décor ideas from the design samples we have curated, you’re guaranteed to be on a mission to freshen up your own spaces and include a few of them in your home.
