These touches constitute an easy shopping list for creating a rustic ambiance without going overboard. Whether you live in an apartment or house, in the city or the suburbs, you can easily bring rustic ambiance to your home. These rooms show how a few key touches can be used to suggest the mood. Against this pale, sculpted background, dark wood and jewel-toned accents stand out. For a handsome lodge look, elegant natural materials — heirloom wood furniture, slate, and stone flooring — create a fuss-free foundation for an outdoorsy, elegant lifestyle. You’ll find mission style works well in several other Fresh Country Style signatures, too; a nice bonus if your family has differing tastes.
