Whether for the master bedroom in your home or the bedrooms in your lake cabin, rustic bedding is a perfect addition to your humble abode. Casual and woodsy style has become more and more popular lately. Here are some tips for turning your rustic bedroom into the outdoor retreat you want it to be.

rustic bedding options

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

What is your favorite type of hunting? Are you a family of fishermen, or do you prefer venison? Is it the big game that gets your pulse racing? Choose a rustic bedding pattern that reflects that passion.

What is popular in your area? If you are putting the rustic bedding in the lake, you could follow a fishing pattern. If there is a lot of deer hunting in your area, then a deer pattern would fit the bill. If you live in a mountainous region, let the mountains show up on your bedding.

Of course, if you can’t choose (or don’t want to!), get a few different rustic bedding sets. With several sets of bedding, you can easily change the look of your room without having to do a complete redecoration. Whether you change it weekly or seasonally, it will keep your rustic bedroom looking fresh without spending a lot of time and money on a complete redecoration.

Heat a rustic floor

Bring your rustic decor to the floors with rugs, especially if you have hardwood floors. Not only will they tie into your rustic bedroom, but they’ll be kind to bare feet on cold winter mornings. You can opt for a rug that has a pattern to match your rustic bedding, or perhaps you could find a fur rug in a complementary color.

Completing your rustic bedroom

When it comes to rustic accessories, anything natural or handmade will fit into your rustic bedroom. Antlers, turkey calls, carved wood, hardware, and mounted fish are just some of the things you can check out. They don’t have to match exactly (that’s part of the charm of a rustic room!), but you should tie your accessories to the rustic bedding of your choice.

A word of warning: don’t take out all the trinkets you have in your rustic bedroom, especially if you have a lot of them. A cluttered bedroom will feel smaller and won’t help with the relaxed, casual feel you want from rustic decor.
