Take inspiration from these rustic decor ideas to create a simple and relaxing escape.
Rustic design isn’t limited to one decor style. It can pair well with classic country design, modern farmhouse, or even a Northwoods cabin. The style usually includes a combination of natural wood, exposed beams, wrought-iron furniture, and cabin-style decor, like antlers or pine wood. Whichever aspect of rustic style speaks to you the most, it can easily be incorporated into a bedroom.
Rustic style is usually cozy and comforting—exactly what you want from a bedroom design. If you already have natural wood in your bedroom, you can make the space even more rustic by adding in plush blankets and rugs. Or, make a modern bedroom room feel more rustic with simple design elements like a wood headboard. Whether you choose to completely transform your bedroom or simply give it a quick refresh, take inspiration from these rooms to create your own rustic bedroom.
1 Rustic Textures
An easy way to add rustic design to any bedroom is to add a few decor elements. In this room, a wood headboard immediately adds modern farmhouse style without making any major changes to the space. Using a wood chest as a nightstand and piling the bed with pillows and fluffy blankets completes the rustic look.
2 Modern Rustic Bedroom
White wood paneling brightens up this bedroom, making the space feel large and bright. A wood frame on the bed blends rustic style with the modern farmhouse-inspired walls and flooring. An intricately patterned rug helps this bedroom design feel elegant and rustic at the same time.
3 Vintage Accents
Small details can help tie together mismatched decor pieces in a rustic bedroom. A galvanized steel pendant light takes the place of a lamp over the side table, and leaves space for additional decorations. A simple wood tray provides space for storing accessories at night, and an old-school alarm clock fits the rustic theme.
4 Bedroom Accent Wall
This rustic bedroom combines bold accents like a wood paneled wall with a portion of wall painted black to create a modern farmhouse look. The dark wall matches window treatments and sconces, while the wood pairs well with the nightstand and bed frame. A fluffy area rug makes the space feel cozy and inviting while softening the space.
5 Gray Rustic Bedroom
Instead of classic brown wood, an accent wall made from gray wood paneling creates a rustic feel in this bedroom. This style of wood pairs well with the gray headboard and frame, as well as the thick beige floor rug. Small orange accents in the flowers on the nightstand and the bed throw add a hint of color.
6 Rustic Decor
Simple touches can add rustic style to an otherwise modern bedroom. Repurpose farmhouse decor pieces, like this white pitcher vase, and use a distressed wood shelf as a nightstand. Other elements like a canopy bed with wooden frame incorporate rustic style without completely redesigning the room.
7 Exposed Beams
Utilize natural wooden beams with a wood ceiling to create a rustic look. To make the room look more modern with so much wood, keep other details simple, like with plain wood nightstands. A crisp white bedspread with a patterned throw adds just a hint of color and allows the beams to shine.
8 Shiplap Style
Create a comfy area to fall asleep with an iron frame bed piled with striped pillows and sheets. The white shiplap wall provides a light, airy backdrop that makes the rest of the space feel brighter too. Using faux-denim covers on some of the bed pillows helps add a rustic feel and matches the aesthetic of the woven rug and distressed wood nightstand.
9 Contrasting Ceiling
Though dark wood panels cover most of the walls in this rustic bedroom design, narrow windows bring a lot of light into the space. White ceiling panels and exposed beams also brighten the room and make the room look larger. A distressed wood chest and nightstands match the rustic flooring, while bright pillows add a bit of color to the room.
10 Rustic Bedroom with Wood Ceiling
The rustic exposed wood and beams give this otherwise modern bedroom an old-fashioned country feel. A large fireplace across from the bed also contributes to the cozy, rustic feel. Striped chairs in a small seating area help blend modern style into this rustic bedroom.
