The bathroom is a great place to start your decorating since the walls are practically begging for some cool, rural items. This idea puts a spin on the common flower vase and towel rack, transforming them into something that’s far more eye-catching. A weathered item works well at adding some texture and a nice farmhouse-like vibe. Another cool thing about this is the versatility it offers.

2. Oversized Letter Board Holiday Wreath
Using an oversized letter board is an awesome idea when you need to take advantage of a lot of empty wall space. At the same time, it is still a simplistic piece of décor.

In the end, you will have morphed them enough to the point that they’re unrecognizable as privacy screens.
7. Wooden Sign and Deer Antler Combo Art
When it comes to decorating your wall, it can be beneficial to use multiple sources of art. With this project, you can take one section and apply a wonderfully weathered wooden sign with your words of choice painted on it. This alone effectively captures the comforting mood, and it’s all brought home with the second part of the wall décor which is the deer antler setup.

11. Glass Framed Hanging Leaf Arrangement
Whether it’s Fall or you merely have the spirit of Autumn year-round, it’s exciting to create some decorations that give into the season.

If you want to emphasize that, consider using more natural color tones that won’t overtake the wood too much.
13. Pallet Off-Cuts Stacked Wall Art
As you are decorating, perhaps you’ve run into a narrower section of the wall. In this case, you may be best off with something that stacks instead of anything too large. Thankfully, off-cuts of pallet wood are ideal in this scenario. Even if you opt for some colorful designs, the wood does well at bringing a room together without sacrificing the country-style you’re aiming for. Since these cuts can stack well, you can add as many as you would like to build a more abstract vibe with the decoration. They provide a sense of movement to the area, allowing you to take full advantage of a smaller section of the wall.

15. Geometrically Patterned Wooden Wall Art
There is something that is just simply appealing about geometric patterns. At first thought, they may not look appropriate if you are going for a rustic vibe, but you can turn that around by using nothing but wood to create a unique pattern rather than multiple paint colors. To truly get the geometric shapes across, it will do you well to cut out wood pieces that are varied in length and remember to set them up at different angles so the work of art flows in a cool way. There is also a good amount of varying designs you can come up with for this project to give your art even more of a personal touch.
16. Beautiful Simple Anniversary Wall Art
There are many ways to commemorate a special time like an anniversary, and small scale decorations can go a long way to emphasizing such a personal, important date. This particular wall art uses a single frame but sections the days off in a cool stacking style. Because there is not much to this art, it helps to use different fonts for each set of numbers to bring a sense of style to the overall piece. This may be more conservative in terms of how much space it takes up and what’s in the frame, but it comes out beautiful, and it can work well for yourself and your partner or as a gift to a loved one to celebrate their special day.
17. Rustic Salvaged Lattice Panels Décor
Lattice panels may not look like much at first glance, but on closer inspection, there is a rather cool pattern to them. The design, in fact, can make for some interesting wall art, and you don’t even have to change the core of the lattice panels themselves. Some paint can go a long way to giving the panels a simple makeover, and the more weathered they look the better as this can further enhance the farmhouse feel that the panels can give off.
18. Embossed Metal Heart Wooden Pallet Art
A great way to liven up simple pallet wood is with some bold artwork, and this is exactly what these embossed metal hearts can do. With their size, they seem just as simplistic, but from their material and the designs on them, there is enough artwork in the hearts for them to add a much-needed twist to any bare pallet wood. The use of hearts of multiple sizes allows you to create some diversity throughout the piece, and the size variation can also change up the design on the individual hearts enough that they seem more unique.
19. Vibrant Multicolored Canvas Wood Art
Your décor can still be deemed rustic if you use some brighter colors than usual. Just look at this gorgeously vibrant canvas wood wall art project. You create the design through the different cuts of wood as well as by throwing in some color. There is no need to paint every single piece of wood. Rather, pick and choose which pieces get painted, and opt for a few different colors.

Although rustic wall décor often has a very casual feel about it, this is a lovely example of rustic art in a slightly more refined collection.

The fine detailing of the chair rail, picture frame, shelf, and clock is not identical but works so well together, that fact is unimportant. The candleholder, planter, and bird all are in the same color scheme and the candles, trinket box, and plant compliment the wall as well as the other elements of the grouping.
