Rustic design isn’t limited to one decor style. It can pair well with classic country design, modern farmhouse, or even a Northwoods cabin.

The style usually includes a combination of natural wood, exposed beams, wrought-iron furniture, and cabin-style decor, like antlers or pine wood.

Whichever aspect of rustic style speaks to you the most, it can easily be incorporated into a bedroom.

Rustic style is usually cozy and comforting—exactly what you want from a bedroom design.

If you already have natural wood in your bedroom, you can make the space even more rustic by adding in plush blankets and rugs.

Or, make a modern bedroom room feel more rustic with simple design elements like a wood headboard.

Whether you choose to completely transform your bedroom or simply give it a quick refresh, take inspiration from these rooms to create your own rustic bedroom.
