Her Haus: Creating A Rustic Style Bedroom

You may not have
considered it an option before, but rustic rooms can be achieved even if
your house has been newly built. The country theme works particularly well in the
living room, but where it really comes into its own is in the bedroom. 

With a
few simple techniques, you can create your perfect country bedroom no
matter what style of house you live in.

Distressed or
vintage wooden furniture
with a rustic vibe will do wonders instantly.

Beds, drawers and wardrobes should be
the first thing you change, as these pieces of furniture will make the biggest
difference to the overall feel of the room. This can be a pricey investment,
but good quality furniture will last a lifetime and wooden pieces will be
adaptable for any future interior design transformations. 

Reference the range
of wooden bed frames at Metal Beds Ltd
and hunt around local vintage/thrift stores for dressers and chests of drawers.

Country Colors

When it comes to
choosing a color palette for your country style bedroom, you can’t go wrong
with earthy beiges, creams and browns. 

In any case, the walls should be kept
light to counteract the heaviness of the wooden furniture, as you do not want
the room to feel dark and gloomy.

 Dusky pinks and soft olive or khaki greens
work well when incorporated as an accent color, as do pastel shades. For more

Textures and Patterns

Incorporate wood when looking to create authentic
country style interiors. Rough, natural textures such as wicker work perfectly,
and can easily be incorporated in the form of some wicker storage baskets. 

As
for patterns; delicate florals are the perfect accompaniment to any rustic,
country style décor. Incorporate them into your bedroom by wallpapering an
accent wall with a print, or adding
cushions in a similar design on your bed.

Lighting

Coziness is a
key aspect of country style interiors, and one of the easiest ways to make a
room seem more inviting is through the clever use of lighting. 

Install a dimmer so
that you are able to turn the lights right down low on an evening, and if you like to read
in bed, a flattering glow can be achieved with a bedside lamp. 

Candles are also great
for creating a comforting, warm ambiance, so fill the room with them for a real
old-fashioned country feel once the lights are dimmed at night time. You could
even choose scented candles if you want your room to smell as good as it looks.
