This unique style blends the best of traditional rustic and modern farmhouse designs, offering the perfect happy medium for homeowners who want to embrace a bit of the country without overdoing the rodeo theme. To help you get started, we\u2019re covering some of the essential elements of rustic chic d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rustic Chic Essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Balance is the key to achieving a rustic\/chic style in your home. To keep things manageable, we suggest something like 40% rustic d\u00e9cor and 60% contemporary d\u00e9cor. Whether your overall goal is a rustic design that\u2019s authentic to the countryside or more along the lines of city meets country, you\u2019ll want to incorporate the following essential elements to achieve a rustic chic theme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focus on Neutrals &amp; Earthy Tones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A neutral color palette is a great base for any interior design that blends opposing themes; in this case, rustic and chic d\u00e9cor. Start with a foundation of beige or grey, and mix in earthy tones that complement your aesthetic. Note: Some homeowners use the seasons to dictate accent colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Imperfect, Natural Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to choosing materials for your home, the best options for rustic chic d\u00e9cor include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Distressed wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Naturally textured fabrics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Matte ceramics, stoneware, and brick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to showcase the natural beauty of materials around your home. For example, woods should be stained or painted to bring out natural whorls and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mix the Old With the New<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons rustic chic d\u00e9cor has taken over interior design trends is its versatility. With it, you have the freedom to decorate with vintage and new furnishings that give off a lived-in, cozy vibe. You\u2019ll find a lot of treasures in local thrift stores or charity shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hang Farmhouse Window Frames<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a big, empty wall to fill? Farmhouse window frames make the perfect statement piece in rustic chic homes. They favor traditional designs, are often crafted from natural wood, and can be stylized to suit a contemporary layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Eclectic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rustic chic d\u00e9cor avoids convention! Instead of settling for a cookie-cutter farmhouse design, try playing with quirky knickknacks that you already have. Layering pieces that have a story with new decorations is the perfect formula for achieving a rustic style that\u2019s unique to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Your Living Spaces Cozy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Function over fashion is another important rule to follow when designing a rustic\/chic interior. You should prioritize comfort, quality, and functionality by choosing pieces that are designed to last. Some materials\u2014like leather and wood\u2014get better with age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want More Interior Design Tips?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore Chesmar Home\u2019s blog for more design inspiration!
