This is the interior of a rustic home in Spanish countryside designed by Cobalto Studio.

45. With weathered wood

Weathered wood and various other reclaimed elements suit rustic interiors really well and give that lived in feel that completes their aesthetic perfectly. There are many different ways to use weathered wood in interior design and one option is to cover up the walls with it, like in this log cabin designed by Tammy Connor.

46. With tranquil views

Finding ways to bring the outdoors in is always beneficial, especially when you can potentially enjoy tranquil and relaxing views of a nearby forest or a beautiful garden right from your cozy living room. That's usually the case for a lot of rustic homes and cabins and there's a lot to be inspired by in designs like that created by architect Nicholas Sonder.

47. With layered textures and colors

A rustic living room is expected to be warm, cozy and inviting and one way to ensure that is by incorporating a variety of finishes and textures in the design, similarly to how this beautiful space was designed by Collective Design Group. The views are of course gorgeous but it's the little details that bring the room to life, like the throw pillows, blankets and the wall decorations.

48. With a live edge table

Even though they're not necessarily specific to this particular style, live edge tables and rustic interiors go hand in hand. Such a table adds a refined and sophisticated touch to the area around it while maintaining a simple and organic feel and that's what a rustic living room is all about, as demonstrated in this beautiful home designed by BHH Partners.

49. With a high ceiling and exposed beams

If possible, consider turning the living room into a double height space. Helps helps a lot to create an airy and welcoming feel, especially in a rustic home which doesn't have full-height windows or glass doors like contemporary houses do. To emphasize the rustic nature of the design, highlight the exposed ceiling beams. This inspiring was designed by Miller Roodell Architects in collaboration with interior designer Victoria Hagan.

50. With a gorgeous chandelier

Hang a large and ornate chandelier at the center of the living room to draw the eye up and to create a charming focal point. This is a great idea especially if the room has a high ceiling. Go with a rustic light fixture that suits the space, perhaps something made out of wood or rusty metal. We find this beautiful space designed by Kevin Gray Interiors to be especially gorgeous.
