RUSTIC BEDDING - LOG CABIN AND MOUNTAIN LODGE DECOR
GO HERE FOR MORE
It’s true that rustic bedding sets are always stylish in certain types of home decor such as log cabins and mountain hideaways. However, fall weather or the sighting of the first flake of snow expands their popularity far beyond their normal realm. Toasty warm, wool blankets with pictures of moose in print or woven into the very fabric make facing the hardships of winter seem much more manageable than they may have been with less attractive means of preserving warmth.
RUSTIC BEDDING CHARACTERISTICS
Many believe the term rustic to mean rough and indeed that may be an acceptable definition in every application other than log cabin or lodge style bedding and comforter sets. In this style of decor soft flannels, patchwork quilts and heavy wool blankets rule the roost. Contrary to popular opinion high end wool is not scratchy. Unless you have sensitivity to this natural fiber, modern wool fabrics should not irritate your sensitive skin except in the case of log cabin or rustic bedding for a baby's moose, bear or hunting nursery theme.
COLORS
Deep forest green and red buffalo plaid blankets are favorite layering options in the overall scheme of rustic bedding as are worn, homemade patchwork quilts. If you have no special affinity for plaid prints,
rustic bedding with snowflakes, moose silhouettes, outlines of bears and bear paw prints will work equally as well with log cabin or lodge style decorations.
Rustic cabin bedding has come a long way from the skins of wild animals or whatever insulating material a mountaineer might have at hand. Rustic bedding, like humanity it seems, has gone soft. Even fashion designers like Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan have jumped on board with their own lines of hunting lodge style comforters and bedding for girls. I’m not sure if there is such a thing as a pure, rustic bedding collection on the market these days, but the comforters and bedding that are labeled as rustic will be right at home in most any bedroom.
