How to Add a Touch of Rustic Chic to Your Home

If there’s one home design trend that is simply timeless, it’s the ‘rustic-chic’ look. Now you may find yourself asking, what exactly is rustic chic? This particular theme adds an ambiance that is warm, welcoming and incredibly relaxing to your home, whilst adding that all-important touch of class that is certain to impress. All in all, the rustic-chic interior design trend creates an ambiance of ultimate homeliness, whether your home is in the centre of the city or in the middle of the countryside.

If this is what you desire in your home, here’s how you can use rustic chic in your home while making sure that your home keeps its contemporary essence.

This article will discuss how you can add a touch of rustic chic throughout your home, while making sure it keeps its contemporary essence.

Living Room

Adding rustic chic décor to any house should definitely start from the very heart of your home: the living room.

The Centre Piece

First things first, every home needs a centre-piece and, when it comes to rustic-chic, nothing works better than a beautiful stove. This feature is perfect for this theme and will add a country aesthetic to your living room. The stove is a brilliant way to add a little bit of character to your home; this is especially true if it’s a new-build or has a fairly plain interior. If you’re looking for a more rustic fireplace, we would suggest opting for a gas stove, as these heaters have a more traditional and rustic aesthetic to kick-start your rustic chic interior.

 As suppliers of fireplaces in London, we have an outstanding collection of gas stoves and fire features that are nothing short of perfect for this particular interior design style.

Fabulous Furniture Features

Something as simple as wooden logs can make this theme come to life and transform the look of your home. What we do recommend is adding statement furniture features to your living room such as gnarled, wooden coffee tables and beautiful bookcases brimming with antique-style bound books. Every rustic living-room needs a statement arm-chair, so check out your local antique dealer to find some stunning furniture features.

The rustic-chic aesthetic is truly outstanding and will look totally on trend for years to come – this is what’s so wonderful about this theme! Plus, it can work in any home, regardless of location, so if you’re looking to transform your home, why not choose the rustic-chic look?

Bedroom

Now that you have installed the perfect rustic chic fireplace, the next port of call should be to instil a real sense of this theme into your bedroom. Adding rustic chic bedroom décor to your home can be as simple as adding some white paint to any wooden furniture you have in your bedroom. To really finish off the look, you could always choose to add some distressed edges to the furniture, which help to accentuate that homely, rustic theme you’re looking to incorporate.

Accentuating Accessories

Of course, every bedroom needs accentuating accessories, whether you’re going for a contemporary minimalist aesthetic or this homely rustic-look. So what works for this theme? Thankfully, there is definitely plenty to go at when it comes to rustic chic. You could choose to add plenty of cushions and a throw to your bed for an added touch of comfort; as for other accessories, we’d suggest wire baskets alongside a rejuvenated armchair. A fantastic addition to any bedroom would be a modern, yet rustic, wood side table; leaving this particular piece of furniture with a rough wood top and skirt plays a huge role in bringing out its rustic vibe.
