Rustic style in the interior: description and examples

Rustik is a little-known style in the "former union countries", but very popular in America and Europe. The word is synonymous with coarse, rustic life, simple forms, a kind of unity with nature. Closest to him is country music. The rustic style in the interior of a modern dwelling is fully capable of becoming cozy, aesthetic, combining the design of a rural house and the ultramodern filling of urban life.

History of origin

Rustic style is considered by many to be a type of country or Provence. It is believed that this direction came to the cities from the villages, but the situation was a little different. People bought old houses for relatively big money, but not everyone could afford full-fledged "city" repairs, and therefore the main parts were left as they were. So it was in the West, in the USA, in Russia, many elements of the style resemble the decoration of the age-old Russian interior of the beginning of the last century.

This style is suitable for those who are tired of the abundance of plastic, metals, glass in modern design. Rustic decoration involves the use of natural, mostly raw materials that retain their natural form.

The style has many volumetric details, because it is preferable to use it in spacious, bright apartments, private houses.

    

Main features, features, characteristic of style

The interiors of houses, rustic-style apartments are decorated "antique" - here there are thick wooden ceiling beams, walls, upholstered boards, floors, doors, wood windows, good heavy furniture with a "noble patina" or its imitation. All this is perfectly combined with the latest appliances, individual details, peculiar to other styles - high-tech, industrial, modern, classic.

Rustic is very eclectic, in its design a lot of natural, high-quality materials - wood, natural stone, but there are also modern ones - stained glass, steel, plastic. Rustic interior is made very solid, as if "for centuries". Here, simple furnishings, modern gadgets, household machines are not displayed for show, but this does not mean that they are not there - everything carefully hides, gets, opens if necessary.

    

Color spectrum

The colors are selected natural or as close as possible to them. At the same time uses a maximum of two or three colors, of which 60-65% falls on the main. Most suitable combinations:

  • beige with terracotta;
  • brass with anthracite;
  • pale yellow with burgundy;
  • reddish brown with canvas;
  • olive with pebble gray;
  • brown-yellow with graphite;
  • snow-white with iron gray;
  • camouflage brown with peach;
  • quartz with chestnut;
  • brick with silver-pink;
  • crayol with brown-orange;
  • cream with khaki;
  • pale green with bluish-gray;
  • linen with mahogany;
  • honey with umber;
  • dandelion with walnut black;
  • ocher with dark purple;
  • pearl with sepia;
  • gray-brown with black and purple;
  • floral white with chocolate.

Bright contrasts are permissible in small quantities - without them the interior will be boring, uninteresting.

    

Finishing materials used

Materials preferred natural, high quality. Different types of wood are used here:

  • bleached, bog oak;
  • wenge;
  • alder;
  • iron birch;
  • Pine;
  • Linden;
  • spruce;
  • maple;
  • beech;
  • Walnut;
  • cedar;
  • larch;
  • cherry.

Wood is processed minimally - knots, cracks, any natural defects can not be masked. Darkened material, allegedly from time to time, will have to be as relevant as possible. Unhewn beams, even better with bark, beautifully emphasize this style.

The masonry of homogeneous, red brick will create the impression of a “clumsy”, antique interior, which is very strong, despite its venerable age. Here the "natural" texture is important - the uncured stones should have the usual "natural" form. They are selected not the most expensive, artificial - plaster are allowed.

This finish is very voluminous, but it looks beautiful, original. When the space is very limited, decorative plasters are used for walls, liquid or paper wallpapers of rough texture, for the floor - high-quality linoleum, laminate, the ceiling can be simply whitewashed, covered with wallpaper with the texture of wood. Metal is used less often - artificially aged, forged items look good. Porcelain is also used in the decoration of the floor, at least - the walls.

Stretch, plasterboard ceilings should not be done - it will break the harmony of the created interior. Plastic windows, doors are also not suitable.

    

The role of lighting in style

Lighting fit the most modern, but the wires, light bulbs is best to hide, like all sockets, switches. Wall, table lamps are styled as torches, kerosene lamps, ceiling lamps are a chandelier, supposedly with a bunch of small candles, floor lamps have lace, carved lampshades, elegant forged legs.

The backlight is not only the main, upper, but also separately for each logical zone. Significant decor items are individually illuminated with sconces, LEDs. Light does not need much, except when it is necessary for work, any home activity.

    

Furniture

Furniture is chosen coarse, high-quality, decorated "antique". Her lines are deliberately simple - smoothness, elegance is almost absent. The main material is natural wood, but its qualitative imitation is permissible. The presence of carved elements, stained glass stained glass is welcome, but not required. Forged metal parts will decorate, diversify the overall look of the rooms. As an upholstery for upholstered furniture, various fabrics are used, mainly natural, plain, leather, leatherette.

Lovers make part of the furnishing of the available tools - round timber, clapboard, slab, euro pallets. The board is preferable thick, wide - from 40 mm thick, from 200 mm wide. From complex structures should be abandoned - modular, convertible, folding furniture is completely out of place.

The abundance of open shelves, on which are placed cute pictures in frames, clay, bone, porcelain figurines, creates a real home comfort.

    

Decor, textiles, accessories

Of the decor is most acceptable unglazed crockery, ceramic bells, whistles, panels. Crafts made from wood, items woven from a rod, also look organically. Windows often make out blinds of rice straw, reeds, on the floor there is a reed mat occupying the entire center of the room. The curtains of soothing gray-beige and brown shades are designed to protect from daylight, but should not become an independent decor, have a lot of jewelry, lace, flounces. Straight, plain, to the floor are preferred.

Fabrics are used mainly natural - cotton, silk, linen, wool. Welcome woven rugs, woven with their own hands, knitted or made in the technique of "patchwork" covers, blankets, blankets, pillows. The skin of any animal, its imitation will complement the interior.

As an ornament, potted plants are present in clay vases. They are selected as close as possible to those that grow in a temperate climate - “birch”, geranium, violets, jasmine, tradescantia, groundflower, nephrolepis, indoor roses. Palm trees, cacti, other succulents are completely out of place.

    

Interior decoration

Objects, even purchased in expensive stores, look as if they got the landlord from his great-great-grandfather. Practically everything that reminds us that the twenty-first century is long past the courtyard is carefully hidden, draped carefully, hiding in any convenient way so as not to disturb the general style. Walls should not be an independent interior decoration - just a background.

Improvement of the room depends on its light, size. The cramped room, with small windows facing the north, is decorated in the most warm, bright colors. More spacious, with panoramic, south windows, it is permissible to trim the darker, cold shades.

    

Hallway, corridor

The hallway can fully imitate Old Russian canopy - walls made of light wood, as well as the ceiling, put ceramic tiles on the floor, of a uniform stone color. The door is necessarily heavy, wooden, with forged handles, metal plates, less often - completely metal. Deer horns will fit into the interior, being a hanger, but the floor design is also acceptable. Small items are not kept here - they are hidden in the drawers of a small chest of drawers, behind the doors of the built-in wardrobe. The furniture is made as rough as possible, as if very old — spots, small cracks appear in some places. The lamp is mounted high on the ceiling, a mirror in a carved heavy frame is illuminated separately, as is the built-in wardrobe, if there is one.

For a long corridor fit two or four identical ceiling chandeliers with shades of warm shades.

When the size of the room is 18-22 square meters or more, it will be excellent to withstand the style - massive furniture with thick legs and large doors will not reduce the space.

Here they retain, emphasize massive ceiling beams, when they are absent - they create a believable imitation. Walls of thick knotty logs are welcome, a wall with a fireplace is decorated with stone from top to bottom. The floor is decorated with wide boards on which carpets and animal skins spread. The round base of the ceiling lamp is attached to the chains, the light bulbs resemble candles.

It has all the necessary kitchen appliances - washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, steamer, oven, etc. All household appliances are neatly hidden behind the wooden fronts of the headset - even the fridge is covered with a special film imitating wood texture or colored accordingly.

A floor, a kitchen apron get off with a natural stone - it is resistant to attrition, easily washes. The set is only wooden, massive, natural color, decoration with carving is allowed. The dining area is formed by a table, chairs on turned legs, sometimes there are forged parts. Dishes of inconspicuous colors, mostly ceramic, wooden. As a decor, there are glass, clay bottles of the "old" form.

Lamps above the working, dining area are hung on long chains or mounted on the wall, imitating candles and torches. The backlight is usually adjustable in brightness.

    

Bedroom

Next to the bed have one or two bedside tables, also the most "uncouth". The wardrobe zone is made behind a wooden partition, a wicker screen. Instead of a chest, they put a volume chest decorated with forging.

The natural long pile carpet is matched in color with window curtains or bedspread, drapery on chairs and armchairs. On the bedside tables put small lamps, separately illuminated wardrobe, dressing table, workplace.

The lampshade for the ceiling lamp is often weaved of thin flexible twigs of the vine.

    

Bathroom

It is better here to make everything from light stone, leaving only the wooden ceiling, doors, dressing table with chair. The tabletop, on which the sink is mounted, is made of a thick board of asymmetric shape - it is also impregnated with a moisture-resistant composition. The place around the mirror is decorated with pieces of real wood bark, its high-quality imitation of plastic, rubber. The bath itself has the appearance of a wooden tub, a brass thick-walled bowl. The laundry basket is made of wicker from a rod, pine roots or plastic, imitating such an invoice. Luminaires are made above each sanitary fixture, built-in, well-protected from moisture are acceptable.

In a private household of the rustic style, a wooden bath house is necessarily built - it will become a separate, multifunctional "wash-out" place, beautifully complementing the garden ensemble.

    

Children's

In the design of the children's room there is a huge scope for creativity - a bed in the form of a house with a ladder, if it is a bunk or a pirate ship, a rocking horse, high chairs, as in folk tales, a treasure chest. Floor, ceiling, walls - natural, wooden. It is desirable to round corners here - safety is paramount. All constructions are made as strong as possible, and most surfaces are allowed to be processed and polished so that children do not get hurt.
