Farmhouse Rustic Bedroom Set
The farmhouse or rustic look is very on trend right now, thanks to the popularity of design and decorating TV shows like Fixer Upper.
The rustic/farmhouse bedroom style is a look you can use to create your own personal homey, restful retreat. Here's an in-depth look at what is the rustic or farmhouse look and what makes it so popular
What makes it farmhouse?
Some of the characteristics of the rustic/farmhouse style is wood furniture with a rough hewn or unsanded finish, like old barn wood, with visible sawmill markings and a natural look. You'll usually be able to see the grain of the wood, even if the furniture is stained or painted. Often, the finish will be matte, like a paint wash, not a glossy or shiny finish, and knots and imperfections in the wood are allowed to show through, adding dimension and character to the furniture pieces. The overall design feel is warm and welcoming, with simple, clean lines, classic comfort and a sit-and-stay-awhile aesthetic.
There are a lot of variations of the farmhouse look out there, from the stylized shiplap look popularized on HGTV to the early American log cabin or lodge look. Grand carries several manufacturers and we can help you find the pieces that fit your life, no matter where you fall on the style spectrum.
Timeless style to last a lifetime
The sturdy, solid wood construction of these rustic/farmhouse bedroom pieces can last a lifetime. Quality construction from manufacturers like Green Gables is practically indestructible and can be passed down through generations.
If you like the look of the old timber frame construction, you'll love this line. These pieces are crafted from reclaimed and sustainable woods that have tons of character, like saw marks and nail holes to give an authentic farmhouse or historically rustic feel. And there are many styles and pieces to choose from in this collection.
Bedroom furniture in general is a good investment for your budget. The solid wood construction doesn't show wear and tear like upholstered furniture can, and it holds up year after year. A well-made suite looks as good 10 years from now as it does when it's delivered. And it's easy to freshen the look with a new comforter, decorative pillows or accessory pieces like lamps and wall hangings.
Farmhouse fit for you
Often times, farmhouse style bedroom furniture is large in scale and can really dominate a room. Unlike other styles of bedroom furniture, which is usually purchased as an entire suite—which includes a bed and headboard, dresser, nightstand–most people choose to get one large signature piece in the farmhouse style, typically the bed frame and headboard, to create a focal point.
I advise people to measure their rooms before they come into the store so they know what's going to fit before you fall in love with it. Unless you have an unusually large master bedroom, you will want to scale back on the size of the nightstands or dresser so your room doesn't feel cramped.
Many people like to mix and match, which works well with the farmhouse style, and our design consultants are experts in helping you find the right combinations. A large headboard styled with some open leg end tables as nightstands can help balance your room and give you the look you want in a smaller bedroom.
Updated rustic living
Even though the rustic/farmhouse bedroom style may have you thinking of the old days, it's made for contemporary life, with plenty of storage options in nightstands and even some with charging stations tucked inside drawers. Some bed frames have storage drawers to place an extra set of bedding, out of season clothes, or to stow your Kindle or iPad before you shut off the lights. You can cultivate that comfy cozy feeling and still live in today's high tech world.
Beyond the farm
If you like the cozy and weathered farmhouse style but you want your bedroom to feel more current, consider some modern or urban industrial accents, like plumbing pipe fittings and streamlined side pieces with metal details. You can also keep the look clean and contemporary with paint — bright white trim offsets the darker wood pieces and makes them pop, while creating a fresh, airy feel. Linen or other natural fiber bedding and rugs are another way to add texture and soften any heaviness that might come with solid wood furniture.
No matter what version of the farmhouse or rustic look appeals to you, we can help you create it. There's no better feeling than coming into a cozy, welcoming bedroom retreat each night.
