45+ Charming Rustic Living Room Wall Decor Ideas for a Fabulous Relaxing Space

A rustic decorating style combines many different elements into a new aesthetic. Rustic style has a lot in common with farmhouse style, but not everything overlaps. One important element of rustic wall design is the printed sign: choosing from universal sentiments like “Home,” “Family,” and “Farmhouse” makes large signs distinctive. For signs with smaller type, Bible verses and other inspirational sayings are common. Oversized clocks are also popular in rustic wall design.
