Rustic Design

The rustic look is all about adding character to your home, and the best way to do this is by introducing tiles, wooden furniture and revealing features that are already there. The key to creating this style is to take your time. Live in your space for a while before you make any design decisions; this considered approach will save you cash in the long run, as you will be less likely to change things at a later date.

When it comes to creating a rustic interior, wood-effect tiles are still going strong in this style of design scheme. The looks and styles can range from rustic, distressed, weathered and reclaimed to modern and even a parquet plank look – all thanks to the latest production techniques. Most importantly, these tiles can be used anywhere – kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom, and for both floor and wall designs.

An exposed brick wall is one of those versatile interior design features that works well with many different themes – primarily rustic. If you are not lucky enough to own an exposed brick wall, there is an alternative – this being tiles. Brick-effect tiles are bold, full of character and are available in many different colours and designs. And they look just as good in the kitchen as they do in the living room.

For the finishing touch, add in rustic and reclaimed furnishings that are infused with character and charm – these will bring warmth and a touch of nostalgia to a space. Distressed and weathered finishes appear timeless and classic, while recycled pieces offer a raw industrial vibe.
