Rustic bedrooms, not to be confused with shabby chic or French country style spaces, are the ideal place to catch some zzz's: They're laidback, calming, and grounded. In other words, rustic style is an ideal direction to take in a room that's all about rest and relaxation. Whether you live in an architecturally rustic home (think exposed beams, unpretentious materials, and plenty of cozy spots), or you simply love the look of mountain homes, farmhouses, and off-the-grid cabins and want to recreate that aesthetic in your own bedroom, the rustic bedroom ideas and designer examples ahead will get you there in no time.

Keep It Simple
If you're looking for a bedroom design idea that strikes the balance between rustic style and minimalism, take note of this space by Ishka Designs. Two raw wooden panels secured to the wall behind the bed stand-in for a headboard, bringing textural intrigue while still maintaining a sense of calm.

Go For the Log Cabin Look
The high-ceilinged room "feels so luxurious after 20 years of postage stamp bedrooms in New York City," says designer and occupant Stephanie Housley of her remote and rustic Wyoming bedroom. The upholstered bedroom and eclectic prints still feel rustic but also add a little more polish and softness to the otherwise wood space.

Layer Textiles
A bright rug and a corresponding top blanket inject personality and color into this rustic bedroom designed by Thomas Jayne. The high ceilings and exposed beams make it feel both open and airy but also approachable.

Repurpose Existing Items
Repurposing found objects is a great way to dabble in a more rustic aesthetic without going totally all out. A Tansu chest, sourced from Japan, functions as a bedside table in a Frank Lloyd Wright home designed by Sarah Magness. A folding screen and laidback shibori bedding along with wooden walls finish it all off.

Make It Kid-Friendly
Bright colors and rustic design are not mutually exclusive, as demonstrated in this bedroom by Ken Fulk. And this reminder is particularly important when it comes to decorating children's spaces, where imagination and vibrance are extra important. A rustic bench and repurposed vintage textiles balance it out.

Introduce Modern Accents
Minimalism gets a warm, Southern California twist in this Malibu bedroom by Brigette Romanek of Romanek Design Studio for a new take on rustic design. The nature-inspired earth tones and materials ensure a soothing, laidback environment while the bold pendant brings the open, spacious layout down to a human scale.

Add Romantic Touches
Give your rustic bedroom the glam treatment à la celebrity decorator Martyn Lawrence Bullard. A gauze canopy always seems to do the trick. It's light and breezy enough to still feel laidback, but also romantic. With a bedroom like this, every day will feel like an off-the-grid getaway.

Emphasize a View
Rustic design is all about honoring and blending in with nature, so if your bedroom looks out onto a gorgeous landscape, embrace it. In this Montana home designed by Kylee Shintaffer, the bed faces a beautiful mountain view. The rustic materials mixed with elegant decor strike the perfect balance.

Get Cozy
Exposed craggly stone and a crackling fireplace are both rustic bedroom mainstays. This bedroom by Annie Schlecter also takes a unique cool-toned approach with grays and blues instead of the expected warm tones that complement wood paneling.

Highlight Industrial Features
Graphic and bold, the large-scale black and white polka dots contrast with the linear striped headboard in this bedroom by Kathleen McCormick. Together, they give the grounded space a more industrial edge. Industrial style is a great complement to a rustic locale because they share many characteristics, though the former is a bit more refined and contemporary.

Limewash the Walls
Limewashed walls are a great way to create a more lived-in, storied feel in a newer build that won't require you to full-on renovate. Corrine Mathern Studio used a neutral color scheme in this Santa Barbara pied-à-terre for a warm, calming sleeping experience.

Focus on Accents
If the bones of your home don't scream "rustic style" but you still want to incorporate it, you don't have to go through a renovation, like covering your walls in wood panels, for example. Instead, just spotlight warm leather items, raw wood accents, and industrial storage items like Robert Stilin did in this bedroom.
