Rustic Home Decorating

American Country, Southwest and Western are typically the styles referred to when reading about rustic home decorating. The common ingredient which applies to all rustic themes is that the home is largely an organic structure, a natural extension from the land on which it sits.

As you read through these rustic themes, keep in mind that some overlapping between styles is common. So, while the descriptions of each theme within the Rustic section give you a fairly pure perspective of what each is about, a little bit of interlacing between designs will add an eclectic undertone to the natural setting of your home.

While the term "rustic" conjures up images of living in a forest at the base of the Rocky Mountains, rolling farmland in Tennessee, or a desert mesa in Arizona, your home can be comfortably situated virtually anywhere in the world, and still have the flavor of what the rugged U.S. has to offer.
