Decorate Your Country Home With a Rustic Chandelier - 2

...If you have a tile, wood, or slate surface use floor mats that resemble canvases. These rugs should be small and plentiful placed strategically in busy areas like under the chair at the table or at the entrance.

Lighting should be folksy and made of natural materials such as wood, antlers, rock, or slate. A rustic chandelier adds the finishing touch to any rustic room and there are so many wonderful choices don't be surprised if it takes you a while to find that perfect pick.

Vignettes placed in unexpected places add a nice touch. A quilt draped over a sofa or sideboard accents well, and a wood shelf displaying a mix of treasures makes a great focal point. Hanging pegs, small prints, folksy art, and mounted lamps all look wonderful on the wall. Use borders to bring colors together and if you have a mantle remember to keep it simple to fit your rustic theme.

Uncomplicated is the key to a rustic theme that is successful. Uncomplicated also makes it easy to quickly update the room for a changing season. For example the focal point in the winter might be the fireplace but by spring it might be the beautiful drapery over the sun window.

Your rustic chandelier should fit the dcor you have chosen. For example a room that has lots of wood does well with an antler chandelier, while a room that has lost of florals might do well with a wood chandelier. It's all about contrast and accent.

A quick search online will reveal plenty of rustic chandeliers to choose from and what's even better is the pricing. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the affordability and availability.

Rustic isn't just for the cabin or the vacation home. Rustic is a perfect choice for your home. Once you've made the transformation you'll instantly feel the difference in your home.

If you have a big space that you want a chandelier for, remember that you need a large chandelier. A smaller one wont give you the lighting that you need in a large space, so be sure that is something that you consider when you are browsing and looking at chandeliers.
