Style Elements Every Home Needs for an Updated Interior – Starting with Rustic Décor
One of my interior design mentors used to say “every home needs at least one Asian decorative accent piece.” However, the times have changed and given the current wonderful design trends these days, I say every home needs at least one of three style elements to mix it up and even add an element of surprise.
Every home should have a little bit of rustic decor in it.
Why do you want to mix it up a little? So that your décor won’t look like you just pulled it off the showroom floor of the local retail furniture store. You can base your design around one of these styles, or you can craftily mix them in as one or more of the three elements I will cover in the next three blog posts. In this article I will start with “rustic” décor.
Rustic décor:
Rustic décor adds warmth to a room. It can work with most styles, from modern to traditional.

Consider mixing in a rustic cocktail table or some old doors as a large-scale wall decoration…
