In the modern rustic bedroom is often nightstands and bedside tables made out of wood that hold sway. If you are short on space, try the floating nightstand. The circular and small bedside table with multiple shelves is also a great space-saver. Pick those with a distressed finish or upcycled look for a more curated bedroom.

2. Repurposed and Restored
Who knew you can convert old, high-back chairs into custom headboards that steal the show in the bedroom! It can be done and as you see below, the result is a bedroom that is a complete showstopper.

A balance between polished, modern finishes and rustic wooden additions gives you the perfect balance in a bedroom that brings together two different worlds.
3. A Vintage Chandelier
The old chandelier with its dusty, metallic glint is an addition in the modern rustic bedroom that always holds its own. Give it a quick polish and you have a masterpiece that stands the test of time! The vintage or Victorian style chandelier is making a grand comeback of sorts in the last few seasons. Adding it to the rustic bedroom adds another layer of intrigue. It also ushers in a touch of Hollywood-inspired glam and retro panache.

4. Walls Draped in Wood
We already talked about modern bedrooms getting their quota of rustic goodness with a reclaimed wood accent wall. You can take this a step further by expanding the use of wood to other walls of the room as well. A cabin style bedroom with vaulted ceiling, exposed ceiling beams and woodsy walls is uber-cozy while a combination of glass walls and wooden slats merges privacy with perfect ventilation.
5. Metallics and Varied Textures
Metallics in the rustic bedroom have a very different meaning when compared to the use of ‘metallics’ in contemporary spaces. Here it is the weathered brass handles of the bedroom cabinets and the iron frame of the classic bed that replace more modern polished chrome and copper finishes. Once again, it is the jaded and time-tested finish of these materials that accentuate the rustic vibe of the bedroom in a subtle and elegant manner.
