15 Rustic Bedroom Ideas On A Budget

If you desire a natural bedroom with wood tones and minimal decor, opt for a rustic design style. This particular aesthetic includes elements like exposed beams, stone fireplaces, and raw materials. Picture a mountain cabin or an outdoorsy vacation getaway and you'll likely think of a rustic design style. 

Disclosure: We may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

Since rustic design uses materials like beautiful cedar, mahogany, and stone, it tends to be too expensive. If you love this style and you're rocking a budget, don't worry! You can achieve this look with some well-placed affordable elements. 

First, try to replace expensive furniture with inexpensive swaps like wood pallets, crates, stools, old suitcases, and baskets. Keep the wall hangings minimal but gorgeous with empty distressed frames and blank canvases. Bring the outdoors in with pinecones, branches, blocks of wood, and real potted plants.  

Keep these helpful tips in mind while you get inspired with our list of 15 rustic bedroom ideas on a budget!

1. Stools Instead Of Bedside Tables

Bedside tables lean toward the expensive side, especially ones with drawers and shelves for storage. One way to keep costs down includes switching out your bedside tables with simple wooden stools. 

Short stools stand at just the right height for most beds, especially if your bed sits low. Make sure to choose a flat and not curved stool for setting items like your alarm clock and lamp. If the stool has a rung, consider hanging a blanket from the rung for extra texture. 

2. Block Of Wood As Bedside Table

Another affordable option for a bedside table is a block of wood. For the most affordable option, cut and sand wood you already own. If you don't have wood logs just lying around (understandably!), ask your friends and family and check online marketplaces for excess wood.

Even if you must buy a wood stump table made by a carpenter, like on Etsy, you stand a good chance of saving money. Also, solid wood remains more durable than many cheaply made bedside tables on the market, so it will last longer! 

3. Suitcases As Storage

Many thrift stores and vintage markets sell used and vintage suitcases. These work as excellent storage containers! Stack them up for a bedside table or to use as an extra surface for trinkets. 

Another option includes leaving them open on the floor full of blankets or books. You can even use one as a quirky planter!

4. Blank Canvases As Wall Hangings

Much like a minimalist style, rustic design purposely leaves out colors and overwhelming amounts of decor. This means creating blank space helps soothe the eye and create a cozy atmosphere. 

Hang a blank canvas on the wall or hang a rustic shelf and lean blank canvases on it. Layering two differently-sized canvases together creates dimension and visual interest.  

Go to Amazon to view this large canvas. 

5. Pallet Bed Frame

Even though rustic wood bed frames look amazing, they often break the bank in terms of price. Bypass the expense of a luxury bed frame and use old pallets instead. Sand them and piece them together on the floor before laying the mattress on top.

Pallets work great in the rustic design style because they look unpainted, imperfect, and raw. They also serve well as storage containers underneath the bed for extra blankets and shoes. 

6. Industrial Pendant Lights

When bedside lamps made of natural materials prove to be too expensive, consider affordable industrial pendant lights. Pendant lights draw the eye up, which works great for rooms with exposed beams. 

Industrial style and rustic design go hand-in-hand due to their use of raw materials like wood and stone. The industrial style also looks a bit more modern, which breathes new life into a potentially out-of-date rustic bedroom. 

Go to Amazon to view these industrial pendant lights.

7. Plywood Headboard

When it comes to wood materials, plywood remains one of the cheapest options. Most lumberyards, like Home Depot, cut pieces for free. Plywood also looks interesting with its exposed texture and warm tone. 

Avoid costly headboards made out of luxury materials like mahogany by using plywood! After carefully measuring the width of your bed, go to your local hardware store and have a piece of plywood cut into a headboard. Make sure you sand the surface before using this headboard since plywood often feels rough to the touch. 

8. Wood Crates As Bedside Tables

Like wood pallets, wood crates look raw and rustic while also being functional. For a unique look, turn a wood crate on its side and use it as a bedside table. Stack books or blankets inside for extra storage. 

With a pack of crates in different sizes, split them up and use them around your bedroom. Some could be placed together as a console table area or they could be stacked in the closet for a beautiful closet system. 

Go to Amazon to view these distressed wooden crates.

9. Basket Trunks

Instead of an expensive bench for the end of the bed, choose one or two basket trunks. These look rustic with the rattan wood material and work functionally as extra storage space.

Rustic design style not only works for adult bedrooms but also for children. Store toys, out-of-season clothing, or children's books in a nursery or bedroom for your child.  A basket trunk looks fresh and clean and brings order to a chaotic room. 

Go to Amazon to view this basket trunk.

10. Stacks Of Vintage Books

If you love books, stack them in orderly piles in your room to use as tables. Take modern books and turn them with the pages out for a clean, simple look. Or purchase vintage versions of your favorites to bring more distressed tones to your decor. 

By using books you already own, you bring in a rustic element to your bedroom without even spending money!

11. Pine Cones And Branches

Implement outdoor elements like pine cones and branches in vases for a cozy, rustic cottage feel. Often, you find pine cones in your yard or while going hiking in the mountains. Gather an armful and put them in a decorative bowl. Or pick two or three to place strategically around the room.

Branches may be broken from trees in your backyard or sticks gathered from the ground. Boost the rustic feel by placing the branches in a bundle tied with jute rope or in a vase made out of clay.

12. Empty Frames

Since rustic design avoids using vibrant colors or man-made art, empty picture frames work perfectly. Choose frames made of distressed or whitewashed wood. 

Hang them along the walls, group them on a dresser, or lean them against the wall on a floating shelf. Browse flea markets and antique malls for truly vintage frames, or purchase distressed-looking frames on Amazon for the same look. 

Go to Amazon to view these rustic frames.

13. Wooden Serving Trays

If you make your bed every day, lay a wooden serving tray atop it for an added rustic touch. This inexpensive detail adds warmth and makes a bedroom feel cozy at all times. 

Style the wood tray with simple, neutral-toned coffee mugs, teacups, candles, and small bouquets of greenery. Set it on top of layered faux-fur blankets for extra coziness. 

Go to Amazon to view this rustic serving tray. 

14. Vintage Decor

While rustic design often avoids man-made materials, one exception includes vintage items. Antiques and vintage items like telephones, gramophones, cameras, and typewriters work great as rustic decor. Many inexpensive vintage items can be found at thrift stores and flea markets.

To marry farmhouse decor with rustic decor, look for vintage metal items like wire baskets and unique wall hangings. Lean into a traditional style with rustic elements by repurposing interesting items like butter churners and hand washing basins. 

15. Real Potted Plants

Another way to bring in an affordable natural element to your rustic bedroom is with potted plants. Plants look outdoorsy and feel relaxing in any room. The pops of green from the plants help an otherwise too-neutral rustic room feel fresh and interesting.

Design idea: small guest bedroom (guest room) in country style with white walls , and does not at all mean the design of the dwelling frankly in a rustic way, because in translation this word means “country” and “village”.

Country is a style that carries the traditions of home life, adopted in this country.

It is well suited for decorating a bedroom - a country-style bedroom will become a place of relaxation not only for the body, but also for the soul.

Table of contents of the article

Rural comfort in the heart of a hectic metropolis

Country-style bedroom design in a noisy city is a great option to create a corner in the apartment, finished with natural materials - raw wood, natural stone, natural fiber textiles.

On the presented photos of the country bedroom interiors, you can choose a design option to your liking.

Country bedroom interiors are so diverse and adapted by designers to modern conditions.

The choice of finishing materials in construction stores and the range of furniture shopping centers are so wide that everyone can easily arrange a bedroom in this style.

In the design of a country bedroom, you can apply your own needlework skills and craftsmanship, making decor elements and decorations from natural materials with your own hands.

Country style directions

This style has many branches, stemming from the national characteristics and traditions of the life of the area where it is used in the interiors.

Country in English style - will make you feel like in an old house in a cute English village.

The main object of the interior is a massive bed made of natural wood, ethnic wicker armchairs, bedside stands, natural wooden plank floor or parquet, pastel-colored cotton curtains with floral prints on the windows.

Decorative items that are also practical items - woolen blankets in a cage or stripes, vases with dried flowers and many natural flowers.

French-style country is the predominance of light colors, elegant forms of furniture. Provence creates an airy, weightless atmosphere in the bedroom.

The central piece of furniture here is the bed, it is better that it has wrought iron legs and a headboard. A feature of the French direction is lavender color.

From textiles - homespun bedspreads, curtains and cushion covers with floral prints, carved furniture.

Country in Russian style - deliberately original. Such an interior is characterized by furniture made of untreated natural wood or artificially aged, rough plaster walls and ceilings.

Curtains and bedding made of coarse linen and burlap are appropriate here. Sheepskin capes and bedside rugs will look organic.

Scandinavian country style is simplicity and a lot of light. The main color of the walls is white. Furniture should be light or unpainted from light wood species.

Windows should be designed as simply as possible. The light range is diluted with traditional accents in this direction in the form of decor elements in blue, cherry and blue.

The main features of the interior in the country style

First of all, the country implies environmental cleanliness, as it embodies the proximity to rural life.

Various photos of country-style bedrooms show that in any of the branches of this style, the room is dominated by natural wood in decoration and furniture, and natural textiles.

Country does not have a specific color range, it is at the same time a mixture of several light tones and the absence of uniformity.

In the decoration of walls, ceiling and floor, the emphasis is on natural materials such as wood and stone. The walls can be finished with wooden panels or non-woven wallpaper with a pattern imitating textiles.

Roughly finished walls are good in such an interior - careless relief plaster, vinyl wallpaper with a convex texture, you can paint the walls with textural paints.

Ceilings should also be plastered roughly to blend in with the walls. Wooden beams on the ceiling are appropriate in the interior.

The floor is made of wood - plank, parquet or wood-effect laminate, or unglazed ceramic tiles.

Interior decorations - wooden and earthenware plates on the walls, homemade soft toys, an old chest, colorful patchwork rugs, woven napkins on the bedside table.

Country involves a lot of textiles, so it's good if even the backs of the chairs have soft upholstery.

A small country-style bedroom can be comfortable and match the rural spirit even in a small city apartment, if you use the appropriate warm colors in the decoration - beige, sand, terracotta, lavender tones, natural materials and textiles.
