Rustic Home DecoratingIn the U.S., rustic home decorating typically refers to the design styles known as Country, Southwestern, and Western. 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. Rustic Themes ...Country, Southwestern, and Western decor make up the Rustic themes on this site, and covering most of the geographic regions of the U.S., each has its own distinction of what rustic means to that part of the country. American country's origins stem largely from the New England and Southern regions of the United States, and like its Western and Southwestern counterparts, has traditions dating back many generations. The southwestern decorating style is a conglomeration of architecture and motifs rooted from 19th century American pioneers, Mexican influences and Native American Indian traditions. And the western design, with more rugged furniture, architecture and overall attitude, this theme takes you as far back as the 1700s, when people built their own homes out of nearby raw materials and hand carved their own furniture. |
