For your dresser, you can add a stain or paint to it in order to create a rustic look. If you leave it plain, don’t forget to place a very light stain on it to protect the wood and to blend in with the rest of your decor.


For a makeup table, consider finding a small square pine kitchen table and covering the top with a lace table cover. Place a vintage mirror on the wall and push your table up against it in order to use the mirror with your makeup table.

Finish the look by placing flowers, pine cones in baskets, a couple logs of wood for the fireplace, and don’t forget to set some needlework down on the table beside of the chair. Hurricane lamps or tin lanterns are also popular in the rustic look.

Don’t be afraid to use wrought iron fixtures to finish your rustic look. Black decor goes great in a rustic room and also in the bedroom.

For the wall, use only a neutral color so it can look as natural as possible. This can be cream or beige colors for the walls. Don’t be afraid to add colors such as blue, green, or red to the decor in order to create a balanced look.

Remember that the more colors you use the more you have to balance and this can be difficult to do. You may end up creating more of a distraction then a balance in your home.

The window should have lace curtains to help dress it up. Plain white lace curtains or lace curtains that are pulled back are just some of the many ways to create a rustic look in your bedroom.
