If you have ever been to a country home such as a beautiful and romantic mountainside cabin, or a jungle lodge in the middle of a national park, or a log cabin situated right next to a river, chances are you are a lover of the rustic décor. Oozing of warmth, siesta and coziness, country homes with rustic décor make for amazing getaways. Tucked away in the middle of the beautiful countryside, the interiors and the surroundings seem to spread out and welcome people with open arms. A rustic country home décor has some very specific and charming elements, which are summarized below –

Colors

Natural colors work best for getting in the rustic feel for a place. Cedar and knotty pine ceilings and walls are excellent color combinations, covered with only a dull but clear wood finish. The natural and more lighter the colors; the more will be the openness of the décor since dark colors usually give the place a closed and dreary look. Perhaps the best colors for rustic home décor are forest green, chocolate or light brown, burgundy, dusty rose and country blue.

Warm Welcomes

Fireplaces are atypical elements of a classic rustic home décor. Natural elements such as hard-planed wood, or river rocks, or a hearth of slate tiles can give the fireplace the feel of a cozy, wooden glen. A tasteful painting hung above the fireplace completes the picture of perfection. Huge chairs or pouffes around the fireplace, or candles inside a firebox right next to the fireplace could be additional elements to add to the rustic charm further.

Accessories

Accessories can help add to the country charm of the house. The best places to find natural accessories are in the woods or the surrounding area of your home. Pinecones arranged beautifully in a bowl, a vase filled with wildflowers from your front garden, taxidermy mounts, acorns, dried leaves, tree stumps and twigs can be used as centerpieces and around the room. Wooden lantern holders, antler-shaped chandeliers, rustic wreaths, bark-shaped hat or coat holders, rugs made from braided rags, country style antique lamps, rifles, grandfather clocks, old paintings and even checker boards set up on a small table with two beige or coffee-coloured pouffes also make for some great decorative elements.

Furniture

Choosing furniture carefully goes a long way in adding to the rustic charm of a country home. White or cream/beige-coloured shelves, dark wood–coloured closets and cupboards, tree trunk or stump shaped end or coffee tables, long bunk beds, and soft, even homemade quilts make some lovely additions to the rustic charm. Dainty furniture should be avoided as it gets lost in the grandeur of the country charm. Kitchen islands with butcher-clock tops, canopies and four posters, a wooden dining table set, ebony leather sectionals and a wooden headboard at the top of the bed make for some beautiful furniture additions to the house. Simple and bold textiles with single–colored furniture ensure the sanctity of the rustic charm.

Tough but soft, rustic but pretty–looking – country home décor is pleasing to the admiring eye.
