How can a table add Rustic style to my space?

Like most living room designs, rustic living room themes typically include basic furnishings such as a sofa, loveseat, and easy chair combination. End tables usually flank the sofa, with accent tables providing extra space for guests seated in other spaces. Coffee tables fit centrally in your living room, giving each seat ready access, and lamps usually sit on the end tables, with floor lamps adding ambient light from the corners of your room. The key element in rustic design themes comes down to a slightly worn look that boosts comfort levels and warms up the ambiance of your space. Bonded leather upholstery or soft microfiber that resembles old-fashioned designs fills the bill in that regard, as do distressed and antiqued furniture finishes.

How can rustic tables improve the flow of my living room?

Rustic tables help improve the flow of your space by making it more convenient for both family and guests. By giving regular users and visitors alike space to get comfortable and spread out their belongings a bit, you create a cozier atmosphere. Be sure to spread out your furnishings to give everyone room to move around and navigate to seating spaces without bumping into anything. If you have a small living room, stick to basic pieces, such as a mid-size coffee table and discreet end tables.

How do you mix Rustic tables with other styles of furniture?

When pairing up rustic furnishings, keep the color profile in mind when choosing your pieces. Warmer wood finishes pair up well together, whether distressed or not, as do cooler tones, but mixing warm and cool tones can create a dissonant vibe. To be sure, try to choose one main wood-toned finish, then pair it with either monochromatic black or grey options that match well with most anything. Alternatively, pair it with distressed white or cream, which flatters both warm and cool hues. You can also pair up leather or leather-look sofas with fabric-upholstered furnishings so long as there isn't a glaring clash of colors. A tasteful bit of contrast can even help bring your room to life and give it a rustic, lived-in vibe that makes guests feel right at home.
