This rustic living room showcases a bright color scheme that reflects the natural light pouring in for a bright and cheerful aesthetic. Notice the warm color used on the walls in lieu of a stark white to add a rustic feel to the space. The linen fabric, wood grain furniture, and pottery accents create beautiful natural textures within the space. And the large area rug ties it all together with an eye-catching distressed finish over an ornate pattern.
One of the best ways to capture that rustic style is to create a relaxing atmosphere that allows your natural elements to shine. In this cozy living room, it’s the wood, stone, and cowhide area rug that add layers of textures to reinforce the rustic decor. Here, the color scheme relies entirely on neutrals including black and white alongside earthy neutrals like tan and brown to create a warm, cohesive aesthetic.

Open floorplans like the one in this living room create a modern look with any style, including rustic. This space relies on a warm white for the walls with a weathered wood beam exposed above the mantle, giving the entire room a natural appeal. The simple color palette focuses on bright and earthy neutrals with the addition of a charcoal throw pillow and a blue throw blanket to create pops of color.
Black walls create a modern, moody aesthetic that can work beautifully with rustic decor. Here, we see a neutral color palette of black, white, tan, cream, and grey with plenty of natural textures in the space. The faux cowhide rug features flecks of silver to catch the light, a beautiful update on the classic cowhide rug. Faux cowhide rugs are generally easier to care for and less expensive than genuine hide rugs making them perfect for any space and budget.

Rustic interior design works well with bright, natural light and warm, light-toned walls like we see here. Notice the sheer curtains behind the sofa—the placement is higher and wider than the window to make it appear bigger than it is. The tribal pattern on the area rug creates contrast and ties the neutral-toned seating arrangement together while adding texture and visual appeal.

If you have a working fireplace in your living room, take inspiration from this space and create a wood accent wall to keep you warm during the winter. Rustic decor is all about embracing the natural, and what’s more natural than firewood during cold months? If you make room for a floor-to-ceiling accent wall like we see here, you’ll also reduce the number of chilly, snowy trips you have to make outside to get more wood. We love the wood stump accent tables by the comfy leather chair and the eye-catching textural rug to tie the look together.

Layering area rugs in your living room creates depth and dimension by adding texture to your floors. Try picking a larger rug made from natural fibers with a thin pile for the bottom, then layering a smaller area rug with a softer texture on top. In this living room, the layering of textures continues with the furniture and accents—notice the leather accent chair with a chunky knit blanket and fluffy throw pillow. And don’t forget the addition of black mixed in with the subtle, natural accents throughout the space for a grounding effect.
Natural fibers, textures, and colors instantly give your space a rustic appeal regardless of the rest of the style in the space. In this living room, the pouf and medium-sized area rug give the design depth with a rougher texture. They also add soothing natural colors that play nicely with the sunlight filtering in through the sheer, white curtains. Notice how the contrast of a soft sofa, blanket, and pillow arrangement against a rougher rug makes the space look even cozier.
The plaid area rug, wood plank wall, and classic, white-framed windows give this rustic living area serious farmhouse charm. Farmhouse decor goes beautifully with a rustic aesthetic.
