If you have a getaway cabin in the mountains, or if you have a certain room in your house whose theme is country, rustic furniture is just what you need for it. Rustic coffee tables are a great place to start looking before you make any major decorating decisions.
Since rustic furniture is mainly brown and black, make sure that these colors can blend in well with the rest of your room. Your coffee table will be made of wood or maybe a bit of wrought iron for decoration, so match the colors with the rest of your furniture.
When shopping for a rustic piece of furniture, there are 3 main options you will come across. You may choose to buy a brand new coffee table, a used or second hand piece, or even an antique coffee table. These do indeed bring a touch of age and style to your room.
You can also choose to have your rustic cofee table made just for you instead of buying rustic tables from furniture or antique stores. This will require looking for an artisan who will work with you, as well as spending a considerable amount of time waiting for your finished piece to arrive. Your custom made rustic table will be worth the wait and you will surely have a special piece of furniture.
When looking for rustic pieces, you can also use lodge coffee tables for the same cabin effect. If you have been to a lodge and really admired their coffee tables and other furniture, you can always get a few ideas from them.
It is very possible to adapt the great ideas in lodge furniture for your own home to recreate the look of the lodge.
Coffee Table Shapes and Sizes
The next very important thing to consider is the shape and size of your rustic coffee table.
The most important thing is that your coffee table should bring the whole room together, which includes the chairs and rug that you have in the room. Most of the pieces you will get are rectangle or square shaped because they are the traditional shapes, but you can always find a circular or oval shaped coffee table to suit your theme.
Also consider getting a coffee table that has horses or bears or deer carved on them for the most unique pieces. All these are great especially if your living room has an animal theme.
Rustic furniture is generally very durable so your coffee table will serve you for many, many years. You only need to buy one rustic coffee table for your living room, so it is a one-time investment to enjoy in your home.
Some people also opt for rustic furniture for outdoors like in garden furniture, which is also another great idea for rustic coffee tables. Even lodge coffee tables are great to transform your family room to that warm and elegant getaway cottage.
