Each style has its different characteristics And although today you can mix several, there will always be things that better express one style than another. The shades also have a lot to do with it, since for example white is king in the Nordic style. In this case we are going to see what is the range of rustic colors.
If you like the rustic style for its homey touch that is inspired by the mountains, you may have to think about how to create that beautiful style that is so traditional and cozy, especially during the winter season. Let's see how to add the range of rustic colors to our house.
Brown tones
Brown tones can be a good choice for any country style setting. They are the colors most associated with this style, since wood furniture is normally used in dark and natural tones. Today we find a large number of ideas in brown tones to decorate the home but we must be careful with this tone because it can darken the environments too much. That is why if you are going to use this warm tone it is always better to do it in small quantities. Add a few textiles with other lighter shades like beige.
Orange shades
The orange colors are more cheerful and bright than the browns. If you want your house to have a more cheerful touch but continue with the rustic colors, you can always add orange. It is a good color to give joy and much more light than the brown tones. Both colors look good in rustic environments and are ideal for houses that want to have that touch, being also very warm tones. Orange can also be used in strong or softer hues. If you want everything to be brighter, it is better to use an orange that is closer to pastel tones, which have more white in the mix. It is important to decide well on the colors because they help us to create the environment and they also have a lot to do with the sensations that the space causes us.
Earth tones
The previous tones can be considered earth tones but in this case we include a general idea of the earth tones that they can give rise to very rustic environments. Beige, tan and brown colors are perfect for homes that want a warmer rustic touch for winter. We can choose earth tones that are lighter mixed with darker ones such as taupe. These tones are very natural and pleasant, although if we mix them we have to know how to do it, with the darker tones in small strokes.
Gray color for your rustic space
Gray can be another color for rustic environments, since it emulates the tone of stone, which is another element widely used in this style. The gray also give a fresher touch to the decoration and they are sober tones that do not go out of style, very easy to combine and with a modern touch that can be perfect to combine with whites. If you want that space that you have decided to decorate with a rustic style to have a more contemporary touch, we recommend precisely gray, a tone that will always be a trend and that we like a lot for decoration. It is perfect for the floor but also for the walls in a soft pearl gray tone or for the furniture, renewing them and leaving aside the wood tone that has been carried so much over the years.
Verde
In rustic environments contact with nature is very important, so it is common to find shades that recall those natural spaces, such as green, the color of nature par excellence. In this case, we can add green colors in many shades to the spaces. If you have used taupe or ocher tones in the decoration, you can also put a stronger green tone such as grass green or darker greens on some cushions for example. If you want a softer touch at home, you can always opt for pastel green tones for places like the kitchen, where luminosity is more necessary.
White
White is a tone that is worn today in all styles and that we know that it will not go out of style. The advantages of this tone are clear, since it allows us to create larger spaces, with much more light and to which we can add other colors to the textiles, thus varying our decoration. The white color will help us create a rustic but contemporary style if we also add vintage wood furniture and for example a wooden, stone or terrazzo floor. The idea is to give clarity and modernity with the color white.
