15. Rustic charm takes cozy to a whole new level.
Rustic decor is no mess, no fuss. It’s all about subdued hues, earthy, raw, natural materials, and all-out comfort. Even if you don’t live in a log cabin, you can reflect that beautiful feeling of warmth and coziness in your furnishings. Break out your vintage decor items like wooden boxes and unfinished, age-worn accents to decorate your open spaces. Rustic is all about organic materials instead of industrial and manufactured – the simpler the items you use in your decor, the better!

Rustic is all about the beauty in something raw and unfinished. Wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of decor and living, emphasizes the beauty in imperfect and incomplete, and that perfectly describes rustic decor. Rustic decor avoids all the refinement of glitz and glam, so it’s perfect for DIY crafters. If your handmade burlap garland or dried fruit wreath doesn’t look perfect, who cares? It’s not badly made – it’s rustic! Embrace the imperfections and accept their beauty!
