Floral wallpaper in shades of rust, brown and cream combine with beadboard walls for a classic dining room design. Cane-back chairs surround the farmhouse table, perfect for family and friend gatherings, while distressed elements, from the corbels to the chandelier, add rustic charm to the space.

Tone-on-tone neutral texture reigns supreme in this living room. Grasscloth covers the walls, tiny tactile prints play over the window treatments and even the lampshade has subtle thatching. A softer shade of rust takes space under the chair rail to ground the room and bring the eye down from the soaring vaulted ceiling overhead.

Dark colors can seem down-right scary when you're about to paint entire walls. However, deep hues often enrich a space rather than close it in. There's no fear with these rust-colored walls, especially in a bedroom like this, where large windows and French doors bathe the space in natural light. Clean white trim also helps to brighten and contrast the wall color so that the overall effect is a warm, inviting home office-meets-bedroom.

Complementary hues, blue and orange, always make for the perfect pairing. And not just in the primary color wheel shades. This bedroom retreat pairs soft blue bedding with just a dash of rust for a serene escape. Of course, the pale woods, four-poster bed and French doors opened to nature don't hurt.
