Some like bold patterns, while others prefer muted and sleek. But for the home decorator whose style leans rustic, there's nothing quite like natural beauty. They're of the belief that not all wood needs to be polished or painted. If you really want your rustic decor to be authentic, look for things that are beautifully weathered. This means a lot of wood, stone, burlap, and even canvas.

Whether you're looking for Barnwood or birch or the finishing piece for your home, or you're just beginning to plan, you'll want to start at these nine best places for creating the rustic office, living room, dining room, or bedroom of your dreams.
