Rustic Living Room Design Ideas

Here in Lancaster County, the rustic style has been a favorite of homeowners for decades and has since grown into a popular style around the United States. We love helping our customers achieve this style in their homes, and our handcrafted rustic furniture is built to stand the test of time. Today we are going to take a look at how to bring the rustic style to your living room, and some King’s Impressions furniture that will perfectly fit your new design style. First, let’s take a look at how to achieve the rustic design style. 

What is the Rustic Design Style?

Rustic design is all about bringing natural, organic colors and textures into your home. With a rustic design style, your home should feel welcoming, comforting, and represent a smooth transition from outside to inside. We love using lots of hardwood and handmade items paired with textured fabrics and warm colors. Next, we are going to take a look at some specific elements that will help you achieve the rustic design style in your home. 

Clean and Simple Designs

When working to achieve the rustic design style in your living room, you should aim to make the materials and colors the focus of your furniture and decor. This often means that the pieces you feature in your space should be simple, featuring clean lines and simple earthy tones. These simple furniture designs are welcoming and won’t distract from your overall aesthetic. Our Mission and Shaker furniture perfectly fit within the rustic design style and will add to your living room’s aesthetic rather than distract from it. 

Rustic home decor should also lean towards simplicity. Rustic barnwood picture frames, hand-thrown pottery, and native flowers and plants all make great additions to a rustic living room. 

Hardwood Furniture

One of the key elements of the rustic design style is hardwood furniture. Hardwood furniture brings the look of natural wood and offers a warm welcome to any space. Hardwood furniture made with reclaimed wood or rustic barnwood adds an extra bonus, as it can bring some natural textures to your space. 

This natural look can really only be achieved with handmade hardwood furniture, not with particle board furniture. At King’s Impressions, we specialize in heirloom quality hardwood furniture that is built to last and fits right in with rustic designs. 

Upholstered Furniture

Bringing upholstered furniture into your rustic living room is a great way to add texture and warm colors to the space. Hand-stitched upholstery is another great way to bring texture into the space and bring in more warm, inviting colors. We love using couches and armchairs that utilize both hardwood and upholstered materials to achieve the rustic design style.

Rustic Lighting Fixtures

Rustic lighting fixtures typically feature natural-looking metal like brass, iron, copper, or pewter. These lights normally have a warmer temperature bulb to add to the warmth and comfort of the room. Tabletop lamps are also great options. You can usually find rustic lamp shades that bring a pop of color and texture to your space.
