Luckily the items and materials needed for rustic decor are easily available. Local materials are all we need to re-create our dream. Rustic tiles, for starters, come in all shapes and sizes and price ranges. What we want is the imagination and artistic talent to arrange it to promote that rustic feeling. We can go for country-style tiles, pebbles, standard bricks and mortar and natural materials. Whatever the material we decide to choose, and no matter how rustic the materials are, they should be arranged properly to give the required effects.
Specially-cast iron used in iron furnishings, window and door grates, etc. is another key ingredient for giving a rustic appearance. Arches, fireplaces, planter boxes and other interior features are key ingredients in imparting that rustic look.

Plants and living things are an integral part of rustic decorations. The bonsai trees, Jasmines, oranges and pine trees add to rustic atmosphere, plus the aroma they impart and the freshness of the air refreshes the soul.
Water is also a key feature for rustic decoration. Beautifully tiled fountains provide any room the gentle sounds of flowing water, lending a perfect audible presence to your rustic atmosphere.
It really doesn't matter where you live or how you choose to arrange your rustic furnishings - country-themed décor can and does work in the interior of any home. And with that rustic décor will come a sense of comfort as well as a feeling of being closer to nature... a feeling that many of us have lost in the mix of the city life.
