Rustic Style for Bedrooms

Rustic design combines casual elegance with materials that stand the test of time, making it an excellent choice for bedroom decor that never goes out of style. The rustic motif transcends historical eras, looking equally at home in a stark, modern loft as it does in an vintage farmhouse. This style also lends itself to a seriously cozy feel that’s perfect for the room where you plan to read, sleep, and settle in for hours of relaxation.

Hallmarks of Rustic Design

Above all, rustic style places an emphasis on the materials used. Wood and metal figure prominently, while some furniture pieces incorporate construction details into the design such as visible fasteners or joinery. Rustic decor tends to showcase wood in its natural state, so look for distressed finishes, raw edges or lightly stained boards and interesting wood grain patterns.

True rustic design typically features a neutral to warm color palette, with browns, grays, tans and cream colors taking center stage. For an extra pop of color, brick red, orange, gold and forest green work well. Other natural materials like leather and stone are also ideal for adding texture and visual interest.

Rustic Design in the Bedroom

The bed is the focal point of any bedroom, so start here to incorporate rustic style into your space. The Insigna storage bed is the perfect choice because it boasts solid poplar planks supported by a sturdy metal frame. The antique stain enhances each plank’s unique wood grain pattern and original saw marks, while the metal frame has visible rivets for an industrial vibe. Layer this bed with comfy blankets and pillows in warm colors to establish the perfect foundation in your rustic-themed bedroom.



The Insigna collection also includes nightstands and dressers to complete your sleep sanctuary with a designer's touch. Each piece of storage furniture has the same warm wood and metal frame for a modern rustic look. Add decorative details like faux fur or sheepskin throws to layer in additional texture.
