Go Global

If you are looking to embrace the latest interior designs style of rustic, summer is the ideal time to mix and match designs from around the world.  From sun bleached to scorched earth, FrithRugs has some handy tips to help you get the look.

Forget matching wooden furniture, you can inject some earthy vibes by mixing and matching your wood.  A mahogany coffee table, an oak side table and additional textures such as a rattan basket or earthenware pots and it’s easy to get the look.  Pull the whole thing together with a Moroccan style tribal rug.

You can create a laid-back Nomadic look by piling on different textures – it’s supposed to look effortlessly messy – but only you will know how hard you have worked to get it right! On the sofa, you need cushions of different shapes and sizes and covered in various textures from faux fur to wool to feathers.  Layer on different throws again in contrasting but complementary colours – again using different textures is key.  And then a bright Bokhara rug will complete the design.

To go global in any room of the house remember the key colour palette is ochre, coral and burnt orange.  You can complement these with greys, blue and soft pinks.  Don’t be afraid to experiment as breaking the rules can be fun – wood and woven materials are a great match.
