Sometimes a color or technique needs its own article. This also applies to Rust Color trend.
Although we are often talking about Scandinavian minimalism, it's time for something different. Since autumn slowly makes its presence felt, we are going to enrich our space with some warm, earthy and dynamic shades!
Rust Color seems to have risen quickly and firmly in recent months and now we can see it everywhere: fashion, kitchenware, buildings, interior design and more. If you are wondering why this color suddenly became so popular, this is to be expected since it was promoted by several exhibitions, such as the Salone del Mobile in Milan, which put rust in the spotlight.
This trend is something I see a lot in architecture, in buildings of oxidized rust patina. In Denmark, most new buildings built near ports are done this way since they withstand moisture and intense weather.
Also several companies this year are incorporating decor items in their collections, footwear and clothes with rust patina, constantly proving the dynamic of this trend.
What does rust color color mean?
We are talking about a combination of red-brown or red-orange-brown or even red-yellow color. So it's not just one shade, but a small family of shades. These colors are reminiscent of the oxidized iron of the rust or the surface of an object that has undergone real oxidation.
How to decorate with rust color
Rust is the perfect color for creating a modern, warm and hospitable space and can be combined with other earthy tones, such as terracotta and brown. If you are a fan of modern Scandinavian aesthetics of the 1970s, of modern retro interiors and boho style then rust colors are for you.

Small items, big result
You can use the color of rust in your home, starting with small elements, such as pillows on your couch, decorative vases, throws, and even candles in this shade, adding a personal touch. Also keep in mind that the color of rust is combined perfectly with ratan elements!
Explore your home and ask yourself which of your spaces need a little warmth.
Carpets that combine the modern with the classic
Another relatively simple but very effective way is by adding a carpet. This is one of the most wonderful colors for a carpet and there are really many choices. Choose an interesting rustic father, which will also match the color.
The next color for your furniture
A different but also more active way to add rust color to your space is with furniture. Specifically, a sofa or armchair in a rustic or velvety finish will be an ideal choice.
Bring color in your kitchen
Do you want to refresh your kitchen? You might have found the perfect color to create a warm, country-chic atmosphere. For a strong change you can paint your cabinets or place a bronze backsplash. For a more subtle change you can add towels, jars or even kitchen utensils to this color.
Dramatic change by painting the walls
I am going to also recoment a dynamic change and the most intense way you can use color. If you are thinking of refreshing the walls in your home, put that color in your life. You can create an Accent Wall, alternatively from painting a whole room in this color. The color of rust as an Accent Wall achieves the desired result, which is the introduction of a pop color, but without being excessive.
Combine rust with other shades
As we said, the color of the rust can warm even the most difficult interiors, but without prevailing the rest of the space. But let's see what are the most ideal color combinations.
Balancing rust with white and gray
By combining the color with white, you will get a "clean", minimalist, unpretentiously sophisticated and timeless effect. A corresponding but more youthful and casual effect you can achieve with a combination with gray.
Rust with green and earthy shades
All natural shades, such as green or sand color, can be perfectly combined with rust. They help create a welcoming corner for relaxation and give a tone of "escape". Also, for the perfect style you can insert plants into your space, which will look great with the color of the rust as a background.
The perfect combination of rust with pink
If you are even a little bit interested in interior design, you probably know the Millennial Pink. Often we see this pal pink combined with the warm shades of rust. And it makes sense since this combination is magical! Use Millennial Pink as your neutral shade and rust color as an Accent Color.
Rust and Navy Blue: An unexpected combination
Perhaps in theory, rust color and Navy Blue do not fit. But believe me, if you want your space to have a intense, dramatic style, keep this deep blue in your mind.
