How to Decorate a Rustic Bedroom

Whether it's for your master bedroom at home or the bedrooms in your cabin out at the lake, rustic bedding makes a perfect addition to your humble abode. The informal, woodsy style has become more and more popular lately. Here are some tips for making your rustic bedroom into the outdoorsy haven you want it to be.

Rustic bedding options

There are several options for rustic bedding, and there are a few different ways that you can decide which kind of pattern is right for you.

What's your favorite kind of hunting? Are you a fishing family, or do you prefer deer? Is it big game hunting that gets your pulse pounding? Choose a rustic bedding pattern that reflects that passion.

What's popular in your area? If you're putting the rustic bedding out at the lake, a fishing pattern might suit. If a lot of deer hunting goes on in your area, then a deer pattern would fit in perfectly. If you live in a mountainous region, then let mountains make an appearance in your bedding.

Of course, if you can't choose (or don't want to!), get a few different rustic bedding sets. With multiple bedding sets, you can easily change the look of your room without having to do a complete redecoration. Whether you change it out by week or by seasons, it'll keep your rustic bedroom looking fresh without having to spend a lot of time and money on a full redecoration.

Warming a rustic floor

Bring your rustic décor to the floors with area rugs, especially if you have hardwood floors. Not only do they tie into your rustic bedroom, but they'll be kind to bare feet on cold winter mornings. You can either go with a rug that has a matching print to your rustic bedding, or perhaps you could find a fur rug in a complementary color.

Filling out your rustic bedroom

When it comes to rustic accessories, just about anything natural or handmade will fit in with your rustic bedroom. Antlers, turkey calls, carved wood, ironwork, and mounted fish are just some of the things you can put out. They don't have to match exactly (that's part of the charm of a rustic bedroom!) , but you should tie your accessories in to the rustic bedding you choose.

A word of caution: don't put out every single knick-knack you own in your rustic bedroom, especially if you own a lot. A bedroom that is filled with clutter will feel smaller, and it won't help with the relaxing, informal feel that you want from rustic décor.

Rustic Bedroom Decorating Tips from The Camo Shop

With rustic décor becoming more and more popular, The Camo Shop has some rustic bedroom decorating tips for those who want a fresh look for the holiday season.

"You've got people coming over and you're spending more time indoors now because the weather's getting colder," said Tony Brobst, president of The Camo Shop. "Everyone wants their home to look its best, and rustic decor is a great way to make guests feel welcome."

One of the things that makes rustic décor so popular is the casual, informal mood it sets. To maintain this mood, Brobst suggests keeping knickknacks and bric-a-brac to a minimum.

"There's a difference between cozy and cluttery," Brobst said. "You want a rustic bedroom to be cozy and inviting, not packed wall-to-wall with hunting trophies and home accessories."

One way to do that, Brobst says, is to match your accessories to the rustic bedroom theme that you choose. If it's fishing, keep only the fish accessories. If it's deer hunting, keep only the deer accessories.

As for rustic bedding, the easiest way to choose a pattern is to look for one that matches your hunting interests. However, it's not the only way.

"You can also match your rustic bedding to the type of hunting that's popular in your area," Brobst said. "For example, if you're outfitting a bedroom at the lake, you could go with a fishing pattern."

Brobst also suggests having three to five different rustic bedding sets on hand. It's his favorite way to freshen up a bedroom, and fast.

"I like to change out the bedding sets about once a week," he said. "It's a fast, easy way to update your bedroom, so you don't get tired of it. And it's much less expensive than completely redecorating it."

The Camo Shop Offers Tips for Rustic Decor in Cabins and Lodges

TULSA, Okla. - For those who own cabins and lodges, the interior decor is almost as important as the exterior location. Tony Brobst, president of The Camo Shop, has tips for using rustic decor and keeping it fresh.

The first tip that The Camo Shop has for cabin and lodge owners is to rotate out the rustic bedding in their rooms. Instead of keeping things the same, change out bedding – comforter and all – once a week or once every two weeks.

"I probably have five bedding sets that I change out once a week," said Brobst. "It's an easy way for me to keep bedrooms looking updated without having to do an entire renovation or redecorating project."

Another suggestion is to change out the rustic bedding with the seasons.

"You can have deer for one season, fish for another, and big game for another," said Brobst. "It keeps things fresh and keeps your lodge in-season."

Other easy things to exchange with the seasons? Throw blankets and area rugs. Not only do the rugs keep feet warm on cold hardwood floors, but it takes very little time to roll them up and put new ones out.

Brobst suggests doing the same thing with window coverings, like curtains and valances, in your rustic decor.

"You can either get window coverings that match the pattern of your rustic bedding, or you can find some that are a complementary color," said Brobst. "If you have things that are a complementary color, then you don't have to change them out as much. Or, you could only change out the valance or the curtains to keep the windows updated."

Handmade knick-knacks add to the overall informal mood of rustic decor, and they don't have to exactly match the decorations in your bedrooms. Blankets and area rugs with natural scenery make good wall hangings, and may fit a rustic decor theme better than regular paintings.

"If you have a room with deer bedding, you may want to keep your antlers mounted in there, and save your fish for the room with fish bedding," said Brobst. "But beyond that, rustic decor doesn't have to match so much. It's part of the charm."
