The rustic style has been one of the most demanded for many years both in large buildings and also in hotels or private homes.

This decoration has very specific characteristics that differentiate it from other decorative styles. Likewise, one of the objectives is to achieve a relaxed, comfortable and traditional environment in tune with the environment.

To adopt a rustic style in a room or in a building, one must search for links between the colors and the chosen materials. The natural textures and colors of our environment will serve as a reference in this regard.

What are the appropriate textures to achieve a perfect rustic style?

One of the characteristics of the rustic style is the open areas. In this regard, the use of suitable materials and textures will help to divide zones and areas for a different purpose.

Wood is one of the leading materials in the rustic style. It intervenes as a decorative material in structures such as beams, railings, stairs, doors, and the like. Materials with textures such as clay or marble are also very present.

The textures of stones or natural stone are among the most used for wall decoration. At the same time, they provide an elegant and very welcoming effect to the rooms, giving prominence to certain areas, such as a living room, or decorative elements, such as a fireplace.

What colors should I use in a rustic style?

The rustic style needs inspiring shades and hues that remind of nature. For this reason, it is advisable to use neutral colors, blue, brown, green or warm tones.

White or raw tones are usually used for the walls, although stronger tones can also be applied to natural stone textures to achieve greater contrast.
