Every person has terms they use to talk about home décor. Country, Colonial, Early Americana, contemporary, etc., each term is dedicated to its own style. The one term that is lost in the shuffle of decorating is “rustic décor”. When people think rustic décor! They think of the log cabin, an old farm house, items that looked aged. All those things are very rustic and they are sure to make one feel that they are in a rustic living quarters, however many other styles of rustic décor are an option. Using rustic items around the home or you cabin adds a great deal of warmth to ones heart. Rustic items can be used with many other décor designs such as country, contemporary, classic and in some cases the art deco look. You can rest assured that your rustic piece will add some warmth, charm and uniqueness to your decorating style. Some of these tips might help you out when you are decorating with the rustic theme. Rustic items are textural; you should add it in small amounts. A full room of rustic décor is a bit much to take in. By adding it in small amounts you allow each piece to stand out and shine. You can add a switch plate cover to blend in with a rustic lamp or you may want to group some rustic items around a fireplace. We have found placing some pine cones in an old pale works great for the rustic look by the fireplace. Consider using rustic accent pieces around the house, such as a coffee table or an end table, mirrors, coat hooks, or other accessories in such rooms as a guest room or the bathroom. By using small accessories like this you are not committing yourself to an entire houseful of rustic items. Try adding some rustic décor to your dinning table. In the form of candle holders, baskets or place a few pinecones in a basket for the center piece. If you can picture a nice dinner with a fire in the back round! You are on your way to a perfect back drop for rustic décor that you and your guests will love. Let’s not forget about out doors as well. On your patio in the back or your front porch, both of these places also can be decorated in the rustic theme. For the seating you can use a log bench or an iron bench, these both look great if you have a vine plant around them. After all this type of bench will look better then the plastic ones we all see. Decorating isn’t just about overhauling a home; it can also be about refreshing the small areas of your home. Chances are by adding some rustic décor to those areas will add charm and warmth to any style you choose. People are drawn to certain styles, and there is something to be said about rustic décor.

Make Your Own Rustic Decor Using Old Fihsihg Gear

Decorating with old, used fishing gear is fun, creative and pretty inexpensive as well. It’s real easy to find unique fishing gear to use as decorating items. Here are a few ideas for your fishing decor projects. First you will need to find some old fishing gear. Garage sales are great for purchasing used fishing equipment for your projects. Keep an eye out for used nets, poles, lures, bobbers, stringers and other Items. You can even walk the shores of your favorite lake as you will be surprised what fishermen leave behind. You will also get a great workout and a nice hike while hunting old gear on the shores, pack a lunch and make a day out of it.

Once you find the gear you would like to use be sure to clean everything very carefully and thoroughly. In the past I have used such items to clean my finds, alcohol for lures (be sure to snip the hook point off), bleach for nets (hand soak them). Of course you can us the age old 3 and 1 vinegar solution to remove any fish smell that may still be attached to your item; After all you do not want that smell in your home. The types of decorating you can do with your items are endless. This is where the fun and imagination kicks in. These are just a few ideas to help get you started on your rustic fishing décor items. Old bait buckets make great containers. You can use them in bathrooms by rolling up some hand towels for the inside, dried flowers, or by placing bath products in them. These buckets also work great in such places as the kitchen for napkins, flower arrangements or in bed rooms for all those loose things lying around the dresser. Do not forget they are perfect for the spare change as well. Old fishing poles from garage sales are pretty cheap and make great curtain rods or wall decor. If using them as curtain rods, be sure to remove the thread loops that the fishing line enters; Place your rings on the rod and then your drapes. This will really make for a great conversation piece. Wall décor is always fun with old rods. By placing two in an X shape on any wall with an old fishing net, fishing hat or a shelf or maybe by an old fishing shadow box, this will bring the great outdoors into your home or cabin. Shadow boxes are a perfect asset to any rustic décor. I have used old wood that I had lying around in the garage. Construct your box and place an old fishing photo, some old lures, an old bait jar, rusted fishing waits, etc. Hang it on the wall to show your creative side. Other things I have tried with old fishing items are. I have placed old nets wrapped in drift wood to place them on walls, I have taken old fishing bobbers and used them as chain pulls for lights, I was lucky on that one as I found a great bobber that was brown and tan to blend. If you do not like the colors of the bobbers then you have created another craft by painting them. I have seen several people in my area of Lake Tahoe even use bobbers as drawer knobs in the kitchen. Creating your own decor is fun, inexpensive and for the most part you will end up with unique decorating items for your cabin. The best part of it all! You are able to build the item as you see fit, After it has hung on the wall for some time, you are able to change it around if you would like or it will inspire you to head back out and retrieve more fishing gear for your next project.
