How to decorate a rural house?
The rustic style is based on the use of traditional materials and the simplicity of everyday objects to create a charming atmosphere. You can opt for a more urban rustic style, or for something more traditional that never goes out of style. It depends on your preferences. Here we are going to give you 10 keys to achieve a perfect rustic atmosphere that will make your rural house the desire of any client looking for a special holiday home in Mallorca.
Rescue constructive elements: Before making reforms and demolish and get rid of everything, select well which constructive elements among all deserve to be rescued. Whether for their quality or for their originality, surely there are traditional details in your rural house that deserve to be integrated in the improvement works.
Exposed vaults and stone walls: The rustic style likes exposed brick vaults and stones. If you have them at home, use them, they add up, they are one of the most characteristic touches of this type of design that nurture the rural atmosphere.
Try to provide as much light as possible: A rural house is usually located in beautiful natural settings. For that reason open windows, let the light pass through and let the outside integrate with the inside. A good environment is the best decoration.
Recycle your furniture: Surely you have old family furniture. You can recover the old furniture and turn it into beautiful works of art that will give a personal touch to your cottage.
Take advantage of the porch: Think that the client who stays in your vacation home wants to enjoy a rural atmosphere. Prepare a porch so that they can feel at ease outdoors. Take care of the wood and try to make the garden furniture comfortable.
Rural kitchen: Think that your rural house is built with traditional and warm elements. Then, how are you going to install a modern kitchen? If you are looking for modern aluminum appliances and furniture, the kitchen will not be in line with the rest of the house, look for balance.
The entrance door: Wood! We do not recommend using aluminum doors or any other modern material. A good wooden door also offers the watertightness and security of any other material. If not, an alternative is to use aluminum doors but with a finish that imitates wood. It is not the same, but it is something.
Living room of your house: The living room is one of the areas of the rural houses that stands out the most. Therefore, it is important to take care of the decoration. Earth and brown tones are the most suitable for a rural style. Remember that lighting is very important to create atmosphere, do not forget to take it into account.
Perfect floor: The perfect floor for your rural house is the less perfect one; that is to say, it flees from smooth, rectified and shining materials. It is important that the chosen floor gives quality to the environment. Hydraulic floors work very well.
In the bathroom, less is more: For a perfect rural ambience, fewer coverings and more austere decoration are better. Countertops made of stone, solid wood or handmade tiles work well. Bathtubs and shower trays are best made of masonry or, better yet, antique models.
