Rustic living room ideas that will add country warmth to any home

Rustic living room ideas suit many types of home regardless of whether they are located in a town, city or the countryside. 

A cottage, farmhouse or barn conversion with exposed beams or original inglenook fireplace are rustic style's natural home. Yet you can still create a similar look in modern properties. They key is in how you do it.

Rustic decor can make modern living room ideas feel inviting and cosy. It's also a relaxed way to live, with rough luxe textures and tactile materials, in place of polished finishes or shiny surfaces. So it's easy to see the appeal. 

'This move towards natural fabrics, comforting textures and warm wood tones is something we're seeing in more and more homes,' says Sally Wilkie, co-founder of Home Barn.'
