Rustic chic is a whimsical style that’s taking the home decor world by storm. With its mixture of old world charm and modern personality, there’s something for everyone in this style. The key to successful Rustic Chic decor lies in walking the line of honoring tried and true design laws and unapologetically breaking conventions. Do this right and you’ll achieve a space that will stun your guests. Here are five things Rustic Chic allows you to do that will make you love it, too!
Grab attention
One of the most fun elements of this style are the statement pieces that are used. Rustic Chic rooms often form around a singular piece. Whether it’s a cowhide loveseat or a driftwood coffee table, start by finding a piece that speaks to you, and find other elements to support or contrast your star piece.
Mix neutrals
Believe it or not, this faux paux is actually a common theme in Rustic Chic. By mixing grays, blacks, and browns, you add visual interest while still keeping the color palette subdued. Plus, nothing says “bold” quite like doing what is commonly an interior design “no-no”.

Old and New
Rustic Chic is all about expressing individuality with contrasting pieces. Rich, Tuscan furniture and modern sculptures may not be conventional, but it totally works! Make sure to maintain cohesiveness by incorporating a color theme.
Try the Unexpected
We’ve said the statement pieces are pivotal to Rustic Chic, but don’t forget those details! The room accessories are where you can really get creative. Try contrasting the heavy lines of your furniture with light, airy wall art.
Make it Your Own
When it comes to Rustic Chic, eclectic is good! Feel free to experiment with the elements you use. You’ll find your space will not only become a more welcoming, attractive place, it will also serve as a conversation piece for your guests! Keep an open mind with the keepsakes you have packed away; they could become the perfect display piece.
Conclusion
Whether you want a look that’s raw or refined, masculine or feminine, cozy or classic, Rustic Chic can help you attain that look. The best place to start is to find those star pieces that speak to you. Once you have pieces that allow you to express yourself, the rest is a breeze!
