Keep these in mind while buying rustic furniture

If you are the one who swears by the rugged and country-side look, having rustic furnishings in your house will add to the charm. Not only will this sort of decor look interesting and unique, it is also a great way to make your home look different from the others. Here are a couple of ideas that you can consider, while doing up your home with rustic furniture.

For your living room: Instead of having a sofa in your living area, opt for light-weight wooden arm-rests. To add comfort, you can add a few cushions. To jazz up the look, you can also paint the chairs in quirky colours, but if you want to maintain the old-world charm, then, keep it the way it is.

For your bedroom: Choose a teak wood bed, instead of rot iron. For the country-side charm, you can also have a piece of log placed in the room, near the bed to make your room look interesting. Also make sure that the log remains unpolished so that it retains its original look.

For your balcony: A few wooden chairs in the balcony looks great. You can accentuate the look by having a cane swing chair placed in the balcony to complete the look. You can also have a faux garden set up to make the ambience look interesting.
