Add Neutrality to Bring Endless Potential

rustic or farmhouse-style interior offers a versatile palette for any visionary. A blank canvas with delicately placed brush strokes can warm and even out any negative space. Similarly, when looking for rustic living room furniture, these colour tones can add the potential to dress up or down your living room for formal or informal gatherings:

  • White
  • Brown
  • Beige
  • Grey
  • Taupe

These colours can complement any fall theme and bring the outside in. To add a little autumnal flair to your space, add décor pieces with accent colours of muted greens, oranges, and reds to layer in a deft touch of brightness. When your rustic living room furniture is neutral by design, you can flavour your space every season with bold or delicate décor choices to excite the taste of anyone seeking to linger and lounge!

Design with Quality Material Goals in Mind

Once you've discovered the stylistically pleasing choices rustic living room furniture can impart on your space, bring your full vision into focus. Decide on what types of materials suit your needs best. Rustic furnishings usually lean on one or two types of materials in their overall design, such as:

  • Iron
  • Distressed or reclaimed wood
  • Various hard or softwood (either single or a combination)
  • Hammered metals
  • Leather

If you want to add a custom feel to your space that defines your style, choose what furniture pieces will capture the essence of what you are trying to achieve. Do you prefer comfortable traditional wood furniture? Are you into modern-rustic charm, minimalist with sleek lines? Do you like rustic selections that combine different types and colours of wood to add focal interest? Once you've pinpointed what materials meet your goal for the living room, it's time to select the size that suits your space!

Select a Size that Celebrates Sit-down Time

The size or amount of rustic living room furniture you select to fill your space can add a cozy or spacious feel. As you think about your living room's layout, what choices will bring your guests the most comfort and conversation? Here are a few things to consider:

  1. How tall do you want your coffee table and/or couch side tables to be?
  2. Do you plan on hosting large parties or intimate gatherings?
  3. How large is your living room, and what décor elements will be the most functional?
  4. What are you trying to draw the most attention to, and sizably does everything flow and seem cohesive?
  5. Are there clear sight lines for chatting and mingling?
