You embrace the beauty of natural wood finishes, supple leather upholstery, and wool throw blankets. The key to perfecting this style is layering rustic textures with plenty of soft textiles, pairing earth-inspired neutrals with nearly neutrals, and appreciating the wear that comes with season-after-season use.
