The modern rustic interior style is one that is gathering in popularity fast. Is it a subconscious rebellion against cool coloured pared-back minimalist schemes that have dominated for so long?

Rustic bedroom ideas

Whether you live in a rural home – or just love the rustic look – your bedroom ideas are the soothing heart of your decorating scheme. Here's how to introduce rustic bedroom ideas to your space with ease.

1. Layer texture in a rustic bedroom

If you're wondering how to design a bedroom with rustic charm the key is to layer up plenty of natural and tactile materials. This is especially important in white bedroom ideas – and neutral and monochrome schemes – which can run the risk of feeling flat and lifeless. Not only do layers of texture add visual interest they also help create a cozy space perfect for retreating to at the end of a hard day. 

For instant texture, try factoring adding tactile throws in natural fibres such as cotton velvet, shaggy sheepskin and chunky weaves. Alternatively, a muted deep pile carpet makes a great textural foundation to a rustic bedroom which will bring warmth and comfort underfoot, too.

‘A neutral color palette is best suited to rooms you spend a lot of time in, such as in a romantic bedroom, where relaxing tones are key to being happier at home,’ says Lisa Conway, residential marketing manager at Brintons . ‘The texture of the bedroom carpet is key to preventing a neutral scheme from looking dull. A soft woven wool carpet, layered with accessories in cashmere, mohair and linen will all work to soften a look and create an inviting scheme. ’

2. Make a feature of rustic beams

If you are lucky enough to have a period home with rustic original beams, then why not embrace them as part of your traditional bedroom ideas? 

'Beautiful architectural features are what give period homes their unique character so should be persevered and highlighted within interior design wherever possible,' says Melanie Griffiths, editor of Period Living magazine.

Make these features the star of the show by keeping to a muted bedroom wall decor and bedroom color scheme, as demonstrated in this space by Amara. To finish the look complement the  beautiful weathered patina of the beams and add interest with layers of textural throws, from chunky cable knit designs to herringbone weaves.

3. Consider lighting

Rustic bedroom ideas often place an emphasis on hard floors and exposed walls, however, this look can leave rooms feeling cold – factoring in bedroom lighting ideas is important to make sure the space has a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Not only will these woven table lamps bring instant warmth, the rattan bases enhance the rustic feel of the space, while their spice-colored fabric shades will bring the warmth of exotic climes. 

‘When it comes to drawing inspiration for texture and color, there's no better place to look than the outside world. This cottage is surrounded by countryside, so we wanted to complement its light and breezy atmosphere with nature-led accessories,’ says Sue Jones, creative director and co-founder at Oka . 

‘The starting point was the rattan table lamps; their hand-woven texture creates an inviting space with that all-important rustic touch. Comfort in a bedroom is paramount, so we layered the bed with cozy throws and added dashes of color with patterned cushions and rich red lampshades, which work beautifully to tie the scheme together and bring a freshness to the space.’

Stone masonry, solid wood floors and exposed timber rafters make beautiful country bedroom ideas but it's important to balance the them with softer elements in a bedroom to make the space conducive to relaxation and sleep. A luxurious upholstered bed frame is a brilliant way to achieve this look.

Regally poised with elegant sweeping curves this Rosemoor king-size bed from Naturalmat for Homes & Gardens makes a striking accent piece for a luxury bedroom idea. Handmade in Devon and padded with layers of locally sourced organic lambswool for supreme comfort, the design comes in an array of natural fibre fabrics – try a pastel duck egg shade for a restful scheme. 

'Rustic settings can make beautiful bedrooms but if you don't introduce a sense of comfort you may end up with a lingering feeling you are sleeping in a barn,' explains Mark Tremlett, Naturalmat founder. 'Choose a generously filled upholstered bed to insulate and create a style contrast with the bare walls. Upholstery and natural fillings are also good for acoustics and work well in rustic or industrial settings without carpet or drapes.'

5. Add in reclaimed and vintage pieces

Imbued with history and time-warn patinas, antique furniture and fixtures and fittings made from reclaimed materials are a brilliant way to inject character into rustic bedrooms. Consider paneling a wall in vintage timbers or make a statement with an ornate carved wooden bed as demonstrated in this space. 

Old picnic hampers, tea chests and luggage can be re-purposed to make great storage solutions. In this rustic space, old shoe lasts have been adapted into wall light fittings, which make for a playful guest bedroom idea. 

6. Choose a rustic woven rug

White-painted floorboards are guaranteed to make dark bedrooms feel brighter, more spacious and are a lovely bedroom flooring idea, however, they can leave spaces feeling stark and bare. For an easy layer of texture try adding in a rug woven from natural materials such as jute which will also provide a soft touch underfoot when you step out of bed. 

When designing a rustic bedroom, 'choose pieces that will add character and gentle texture, says Mark Winstanley of The White Company . 'I love natural materials and finishes such as timber and stone or softer elements such as sisal, sheepskin and wool. '

7. Try shiplap panelling

Guaranteed to bring a rustic look to your bedroom, shiplap paneling can be a great way of adding texture and interest into a small bedroom. Used on a single wall it can help draw your eye distracting from the size of the space, plus, the vertical lines can accentuate the height, too – to keep the space feeling bright and airy yet cozy and cocooning choose a warm, off-white shade. 

It can often be hard to find bedroom storage ideas for small bedrooms, so why not consider utilizing the space under the bed and filling it with large woven storage baskets?

8. Invest in linen bedding

Bedding made from textural linen makes a beautiful finishing touch for a rustic bedroom. Displaying an elegant and relaxed feel, this bedding beautifully complements the varied grain of natural timber plus has plenty of practical and environmental benefits, too. Made from flax fibres, linen bedding is more breathable than synthetic materials which helps regulate body temperature whilst sleeping.

9. Introduce earhty tones

Decorating with neutrals are a classic choice for rustic bedrooms as they help focus attention on the character and patina of the surfaces within a space. While neutrals can bring an overall feeling of calm, experimenting with colorful bedroom ideas can be effective, too, as this space proves. 

Used over the bottom half of this wall panelling, Little Greene's Tuscan Red, helps to create a grounding and cocooning atmosphere in this space. With its bare floorboards and angular panelling, this space could run the risk of feeling cold, but the injection of a warm earthy pigment brings instant coziness to the room without overpowering the space.

'I love a natural palette to create a comforting, soothing scheme, use warmer, natural shades to create focal points through color blocking, to frame contrasting colors, or to zone a space by using interesting color proportions,' says Ruth Mottershead, creative director Little Greene. 'The warmth of ‘Tuscan red’ balanced with the ‘French Grey’ feels incredibly soothing here and works wonderfully with the addition of bare wood finishes and natural linen.'

10. Add a textural wallpaper

Bedroom wallpaper ideas are a brilliant way to instantly change the look and feel of a space. Rustic bedrooms are all about texture, so rather than opt for a wallpaper with a bold print which can be hard to live with, why not take a pared-back approach with a rustic wallcovering such as this Twine design from Arte which mimics natural woven fibres in a Cameo colorway. 

What is a rustic bedroom?

The key design elements for a modern rustic bedroom are farmhouse-style furniture, neutral color palettes and textured pieces. If you are after a more classic feel, and want to enhance the rustic aesthetic, do consider wood flooring or wood beams on the ceilings. If you live in a relatively modern home, keep furnishings unfussy and opt for one or two key pieces –such as a sisal rug, rattan headboard or decorative wall sconces to further enhance a rustic bedroom.

Natural materials

For rustic style, use only natural materials. Of course, wood is the best choice. For such a bedroom, you can and should use wooden beams for the ceilings. For the floor, the use of parquet will be acceptable. The most important thing is that the bedroom is cozy and comfortable.

Dark tones are not recommended

Stones and metal are not necessary for a rustic bedroom, they are not very suitable for such an interior. Take a look at a rustic bedroom photo and you will immediately understand what materials are best to use.

The cuckoo clock is perfect for this bedroom. You can use an old chest. However, don't overdo it. Yet your bedroom is not a museum. No need to use too many accessories.

Peace and comfort

A rustic kitchen can be aggressive, but a bedroom is not. The bedroom should be made in light colors, which will allow you to relax and unwind after a hard day. It is necessary that not a single object in the room hurts the eyes.

In the first place, you guessed it, is wood. Without it, it will not be possible to create this unique style. When using wood, it is important to understand that dark tones are not acceptable for a bedroom.

Straw weaving fits perfectly into the overall picture.

Stone can be used, but in white.

Metal can be used as accessories.

Artificial materials may be used but are highly undesirable.

Style features

The following characteristic features are inherent in this direction:

Selection of furniture

When choosing furniture for a bedroom in country style, preference is given to products in the manufacture of which natural and environmentally friendly materials were used. Items may be vintage or artificially aged. Due to this effect, it is possible to best convey the atmosphere of this direction.

The ideal solution would be a massive wooden bed, which has a solid, solid and slightly rough look. Also, an ordinary sleeping bed with a wrought-iron headboard and legs will perfectly fit into the atmosphere.

Pictured is a rustic bedroom with a wrought iron bed.

In a rustic design, a modern wardrobe will not look quite appropriate. For the bedroom, it is better to choose designs with hinged doors and install a chest of drawers and bedside tables with drawers in the room.

Finishes

The bedroom ceiling should be simple. As a cladding, painting or whitewashing is most often used. To decorate the surface, support structures with wooden beams or panels can be designed. Rustic country style does not welcome tension and suspension systems.

The plane of the walls in the room is pasted over with light wallpaper or painted. Canvases with medium-sized floral ornaments will look good. Wall decoration can also be a relief coating with a casually applied layer of plaster or paint.

The floor in the bedroom can be laid out with eco-friendly parquet with a pleasant texture. In the interior of the house, sanded and varnished plank flooring is often left. For an apartment, a more budget solution in the form of linoleum or laminate with imitation wood is suitable.

Coloring of the room

The main condition for color design is the absence of bright colors as the main background and the use of no more than 3 colors in one room.

The range used must be fully associated with nature. For example, green, brown, pale yellow, terracotta or sky blue tones are perfect.

Bedroom design in country style will harmoniously complement the classic white, warm beige and milky palette, as well as all wood colors.

Pictured is a country style bedroom design in white, beige and blue.

The main color in the room can be diluted with a small amount of accents. Reds, oranges, pinks, blues or greens will give a dynamic setting without making it too contrasty.

Lighting

Warm artificial light should be chosen for a country-style bedroom. Forged chandeliers, floor lamps and sconces with plain fabric or paper lampshades will look great in the interior.

Pictured is a rustic bedroom with ceiling lights and bedside lamps.

A special atmosphere in the room can be achieved using lighting fixtures stylized as kerosene lamps or antique candlesticks and candelabra. Such characteristic elements with a soft, muted glow will create a special atmosphere in the room, associated with a quiet village house remote from civilization.

Textiles and decorations

Various textile elements in the form of patchwork bedspreads, pillows or any other patchwork-style products will fill the interior with comfort. For such a country style, lace, knitted details and fabrics decorated with rural prints such as Dutch windmills, cute shepherds and other rustic motifs are suitable.

Bedroom windows can be decorated with linen or cotton curtains in milky, taupe or other natural colors that go well with wooden furniture. Curtains can be distinguished by patterns with simple wild flowers, bluebells, modest daisies or daisies, as well as checkered, large or small polka dots.

It would be appropriate to complement the floor in the room with a small colorful rug or a wicker rug resembling a mat. A characteristic decor will be bear, sheep or cow skins.

Pictured is a country-style bedroom in the attic, decorated with checkered linens and light floral curtains.

The best accessories for country style are potted plants or fresh flowers in vases. For pots, you can apply the effect of artificial aging, decoupage technique, or simply paint them in a soft color.

A wall clock with a patinated Roman dial with metal hands is an almost obligatory decorative attribute of the style.

To decorate the walls, you can use family photographs, still life paintings or mirrors in intricate forged and carved frames, and arrange beautiful porcelain figurines and various figurines on shelves and cabinets.

Design Ideas

A country house bedroom can be equipped with a real fireplace with natural stone finish. The hearth will not only fill the space with a romantic atmosphere, but also emphasize the good taste and status of the surrounding interior. For a country-style bedroom in an apartment, an electric fireplace with the appropriate design is suitable.

In the country house, a recreation room located on the attic floor under the roof will look especially advantageous. Due to the plank walls, wooden beams and sloping ceiling, a truly rustic aura is formed in the room.
