The "rustic/shabby-chic" furnishing style achieves a delicate balance: that between rustic elements and elegant details to create environments that have a warm and welcoming, but also refined look and feel. This style is suitable for the whole house, but especially the bedroom.

With this in mind, check out some of the decorating/furnishing ideas listed below - you'll be amazed!

Rustic-chic: when the rustic style meets the need for elegance

The rustic-elegant combination is the result of skilful combinations, creating an environment where soft and natural, bright colors dominate, and all the "movement" is given by combining the different fabrics and materials.

This style calls for elegant and intricately detailed materials and fabrics to be used. So, cottons, linen and lace are the preference here - perhaps also augmented with touches of silk and satin.

Rustic-chic and recycling

In the bedroom, the focus is obviously the bed: here you can create a combination of rustic and chic by choosing an antique bed structure with a faux, worn-out appearance and with a headboard perhaps made from recycled wooden window shutters.

If you then find antique furniture, or accessories that suit this style, don't hesitate to use them: blankets, but also antique-looking chandeliers are great idea.

A rustic, comfortable and elegant bedroom

The key principle is that you do not give up on elegance and comfort. Creating a warm, welcoming environment is the main aim.

The details that create a rustic-chic atmosphere

Furnishing accessories around the bedroom - such as rich, elegant curtains - can also help to create this rustic-chic atmosphere.

And vases, furnishings and lampshades can also do their part. So, ruffled decorations - which combine rustic materials such as jute with more refined types - are an ideal combination.

Obviously, there is also a place for valuable antique objects, such as old travel trunks that can help you tidy up but also decorate tastefully.

Long, charming fringes and shams: if you like them, don't be afraid to use them wherever you want to.

The colors selected need to be delicate: pastels, light beige and discreet, powdered pink: no strong or saturated colors.
