Rustic refers to ‘natural, rough, aged, and casual’. The rustic style tends to embrace the traditional – that is, a kind of roots, earthy style that harks back to the idealized time we are all familiar with – the Hallmark card, rural, country cottage style that leaves that warm, fuzzy feeling in your stomach. And luckily, this is a really accommodating design style with a lot of scope, and one that is definitely accessible to people with all manner of budgetary requirements.
