FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 29, 2011 – Traditionally, rustic furniture was made from sticks, twigs, branches and even logs from trees, stone or whatever materials were close at hand. Originally associated with poverty, whereby crafters would make the furniture in exchange for money or food, today’s rustic furniture harks back to a simpler way of life and provides the feel of country living even in the heart of a large city.

In modern times, the term rustic furniture has come to stand for a great many differing styles of craftsmanship, from the traditional log furniture often found in the UK and USA to more contemporary themes based on traditional cabinet making styles from all around the globe. Popular design influences include Mexican style pine furniture, Indian fruitwood furniture and the clean crisp lines and dark colourings of far eastern designs.

A very versatile design choice, rustic furniture can be coupled with a great many interesting and various themes. It works brilliantly in a cottage style theme with bare stone walls or rough plasterwork and neutral colours yet also fuses masterfully with contemporary all white rooms, the warmth of the bare materials contrasting elegantly with the stark coldness of the white walls. Whatever the style and colour scheme of your home, you’re sure to find a style of rustic furniture to suit.

When using rustic pieces in your home it is important to add the right finishing touches. Rustic accent pieces such as stone statues and carvings work well, as do soft furnishings such as rugs and cushions. Dark Indian furniture looks best when mixed with bright, bold accent colours and fabrics such as purple and green, whereas Mexican style pine furniture is far lighter in colour and generally looks better with warmer red and gold accent colours.

If you like the sound of the rustic look but don’t fancy going the whole hog and filling your entire home just yet, add a few smaller rustic pieces first such as mirrors, lamps or clocks. These smaller items look great even in a room full of modern furniture adding a little sense of adventure and mystery to your home. Rustic pieces make a great conversational point at parties, immediately drawing attention with their charming simple beauty. Who’s to know you didn’t really get your new coffee table from a trader in Mumbai?

Rustic furniture can add a whole new sense of style and character to your home and its versatility means it will look great anywhere and provide you and your family with practical beauty for many years. We hope you have found it useful and that it has provided plenty of inspiration when furnishing your home.
