In this cute snap of Sandra Bullock and pal Nicole Kidman, one striking decorative detail really stands out. Creating the backdrop to her neutral living palette – which features cozy couches and throw blankets – are some rustic wooden bookshelves. Not used simply as storage, the shelves have been styled with ceramics, picture frames, and piles (as well as rows) of books, for a collected and homey feel.
Decorating with wood is one of the easiest ways to bring a rustic and traditional feel to a space, particularly when you opt for untreated surfaces or vintage-leaning pieces. I've asked the experts how to make this work as effectively as Sandra Bullock and below is my curated edit of rustic living room furniture and decor to help you to recreate her cozy style, from a solid pine bookcase (Bed, Bath & Beyond) to a decorative linen table lamp (West Elm) to cast a warm glow.
