Make Your Home Look Like a Rustic Cabin with Home Hardware



The rustic look isn't something you see everyday, especially not when it comes to home hardware. Rustic is natural and weathered, looking like it was crafted by a blacksmith a century or two ago. Of course, that isn't really the case, but many brands can create cabinet pulls and cabinet knobs, as well as decorative hooks and others that look as good as old.

1. These Twig Pulls from Schaub & Company add some natural-looking charm to your kitchen. Use these if you have other pieces of decor that feature natural-looking pieces of wood. For example, a shelf that includes a piece of a tree branch left to its original shape would echo this style nicely.

2. Old fashioned and simple shapes are part of the rustic charm, along with the weathered finish, such as this bronze cabinet pull from Hawk Hill Hardware.

3. Sometimes echoing the rustic style calls for using a more subtle approach. The rustic copper finish of this Berenson knob will go along with a subtly rustic decor style.

4. The spiral motif is simple, yet has a nice old world vibe. It's the "olde iron" finish of this Schaub & Company knob that really makes it rustic.

5. This Schaub & Company Knob in Dark Pewter looks like its seen "better days", or that it's been seen a few long hard centuries of wear and tear. Of course, that's how it's supposed to look! These would look great with a set of natural wood cabinets.

6. Use these spiral weathered pewter cabinet pulls by Schaub & Company with dark natural wood cabinets that will contrast the lighter color. Using them with a smooth marble or otherwise solid and polished cabinets would work, but wouldn't drive home the rustic look.

7. Michigan Naturals Forest Floor brown mix Stone Knob, Medium Smooth and natural river rocks as cabinet knobs is very unexpected and interesting in any home. Not necessarily rustic -- it just depends on the rest of the decor in your kitchen or bathroom.

8. The natural wood look would go perfectly in a home with a rustic beach-style theme. These Hawk Hill Hardware Driftwood Appliance Pulls would fit right in with sea shell, river rock and other sea or river motifs.
