A More Natural Look For Your Living Room

Character is a commonly sought after trait in a home. As a man, I spent many years stumbling over interior design magazines, and awkwardly fumbling with DIY projects. One day, it all made sense to me.

I stumbled upon an article on rustic living room decor, and I was so impressed. The answer to my problem was just so simple! All I needed in order to give my place some real character (which also speaks to my personality) was to find some rustic decor.

I realized it was all about texture. Rustic furniture, much like log furniture, can add a great deal of texture to any home. It was the same day that I read that article that I went to the store and bought myself some rustic living room decor and some log cabin furnishings. They are durable, stylish and can withstand the elements. Everything a man could need in home furnishings.

Although today’s log cabins are built for luxury, the architectural design was originally for displaying the hardships of the Northern Frontier in the 1800s. Once I purchased my rustic living room decor, I went a little overboard with the rustic vibe. I practically turned my suburban house into a log cabin in one week!

Rustic furniture was originally made from whatever natural materials were in greatest supply. The poor often made them in exchange for food or currency. It is exactly this humble simplicity that rustic living room decor provides.

There is a house In Pittsburgh, at 184, 38th Street that is the oldest known log house in any major American city that has continued to be used for residence. That just goes to show how truly durable and long lasting rustic living room decor pulls can be!
