One of the defining characteristics of a rustic home, whether it's cottage or coastal, is the use of natural materials. That means lots of wood and stone (both in furniture and on ceilings/walls), and fabrics like burlap and canvas. Rustic design, at its core, is the use of organic elements in their most natural state. Design is simple, natural, and has an earthy feel about it. Raw materials are also common, so rather than finding a sleek, glossy burl wood, you'll find more reclaimed and unfinished woods and stones.
