20 Rustic Wall Decor Projects For A Charming Home

Lately we’ve seen an increase in popularity for rustic wall decor as a general trend, with a focus on decorations and accent pieces made of reclaimed wood. Items such as wall-mounted shelves, framed pictures, hanging signs or anything that has a retro vibe have the wonderful ability to make a space appear more warm and welcoming and to create a familiar and comfortable ambiance. Check out our latest finds to get a better idea of what rustic wall decor is all about.

Everything about this living room setup is wonderful including the rustic sign hanging just above the sofa, below the shelf. The two mirrors add depth to the room and make it look bigger and brighter. For more farmhouse inspiration, check out linda-coastalcharm.

We mentioned at the start that decorations made of reclaimed wood usually give a rustic vibe to the spaces they’re in so here’s a specific example which proves it. This open kitchen was decorated with large wooden letters which stand out and turn the previously empty wall into a focal point not just for the kitchen itself but the living room as well.

Framed family pictures really scream rustic, especially when displayed like this. These “frames” are actually old windows. They look amazing on the wall of this dining room where they create a very cozy decor. The wooden letters are a nice touch and go well with the rest of the room. The idea comes from cottageinstincts.

Sometimes it’s not about each individual decoration that you put up on a wall but about the overall vibe they send together as a group. For example, this is a very charming cluster of decorations and accessories, each with its own unique role and character and all in perfect balance as a group. Check out goldenboysandme for details.

A nice thing about rustic wall decor is that it doesn’t need to look perfect or to be complicated. It’s not really about the design as much as it is about the materials and finishes used and about the type of atmosphere that they create. A very good example here is this set of wooden arrows featured on little-brick-house.

Finding that perfect piece of wall decor is not always easy, especially when you have a specific idea in mind which is not based on something material but rather on a feeling, a style, an idea. In such cases, DIY projects are often the perfect option. How about these rustic shutters and wreath from littleyellowwheelbarrow. They would look charming in any room.

This dresser is perfectly capable of adding a rustic twist to the decor by itself but it’s definitely nice to have some help.

Old shutters can make lovely decorations and you can display them in all sorts of environments.

Wood pallets are an extraordinary resource for DIY projects, rustic as well as modern. You can use the entire pallet or parts of it to make beautiful decorations such as these plaques. Use these to display pictures on your walls and give them a worn, retro finish for more character. You can find the project tutorial on ohmy-creative.

You can also make a beautiful wall decor piece using an old frame, some chicken wire and a wreath. It’s a fairly simple project, one which you can customize in an infinite number of ways. Painting the frame white and then using sandpaper to give it a time-worn look is a cool way of adding a rustic vibe to the design.
