Choosing rustic oak furniture for your homeThere can often be a misconception that rustic oak furniture is really only suitable for established, period homes, going for that colonial type look and feel. Those modern, contemporary homes are somehow unsuited to the solidity and earthiness of rustic oak furniture when you are thinking from an interior design perspective. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth - in this article we show you a few ways that you can incorporate rustic oak furniture into any type of home that you are designing for.

Choosing bedroom furnitureBedroom furniture is an obvious choice when you are thinking about rustic oak bedroom furniture. If you have a more traditional style home, you may need to think about how the wood of the bed and accompanying pieces that you are considering will complement the wood of your floors, or the trim surrounding your sash windows. For a more modern home, you would generally choose a lighter colour wood in your bedroom furniture.

Choosing living room furnitureIn the living room your furniture needs to be functional and practical. Whatever style your home you would generally choose pieces that are lighter and easier to move around rather than large solid pieces that don’t give you an flexibility.

Choosing dining room furnitureRustic oak dining room furniture is perfect in the dining room - a stunning statement dining table will be the centrepiece of this room and is the perfect way to host dazzling dinner parties with your friends. In a traditional style home go with dark wood and match it with dark chairs. In a modern home you might want to go with modern style chairs that complement your solid table.

Whatever style your home, whether new or old, classic or contemporary, make sure that you think about the impact that rustic oak furniture could have - elevating your interior design and ensuring that your house feels absolutely like a home that you can be proud of.
