Saturday Style Spotlight. Rustic Chic.

I'd like to tie the theme of the Baby Shower that I am currently working on into today's style spotlight, country chic. Rustic style is currently trending and has been for years. It is classic and when done properly it is timeless. Rustic style can be comforting, masculine, feminine, natural, sustainable, country, inviting and lovely.

When decorating an event or interior with a country chic theme, you have the option of incorporating several different elements and objects. Beyond the mason jars, burlap and wood rounds, there are hundreds of ways to create an atmosphere that embodies a rustic chic vibe. Let's begin with eight. 

8 ideas on how to achieve a rustic chic theme when decorating…

1. Tribal Prints. In every color you can imagine, tribal prints are beautiful and very accessible. On a pillow or covering a wall, the addition of tribal prints is an easy way to incorporate a rustic theme. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   2. Barn wood. Any wood that is weathered and worn. Barn wood has a lovely distressed look that can turn any item rustic chic. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   3. Tin. On the roof, wall paneling, buckets or light fixtures, tin always has a rustic look.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   4. Copper. A little copper goes a long way. Nothing makes a more beautiful rustic kitchen than an oversized copper sink. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   5. Muted neutral tones. Natural shades of brown, grey, ivory and black. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   6. Repurposed Items. Upcycle. One Man's trash is another Man's treasure, such a true statement. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   7. Wrought Iron. The combination of barn wood and wrought iron is fabulous. The old wrought iron bed frames are perfect for a rustic chic room. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   8. Exposed beams. No need to hide those beautiful rustic beams.
