f you're in the process of refurnishing your home or updating the decor, chances are you've already settled on a style that works best for your home's design aesthetic. Today, we're going to be focusing on how to incorporate mission style pieces into different rooms in your home so you can enjoy that touch of elegance and exquisite elegance everywhere you go. Read on for some design ideas to help you incorporate Joseph McHugh's rustic-inspired style in subtle and dramatic ways across your living space.

For the Dining Room: Mission Style Lighting Makes a Statement

The dining room is an area where you have the opportunity to combine the warmth of a family-friendly space and the drama of making a statement and impressing guests. In these formal dining spaces, why not forego subtlety in favor of a statement chandelier. Not only will it provide a striking conversation starter, but the inherent rustic warmth of the Mission style will keep even the most dramatic space from seeming cold or imposing.

For the Bedroom: Mission Rugs for Plush Comfort

When we think of rugs, we typically think of living and family rooms. But Mission rugs in your bedroom can combine the warmth and elegance to tie the room together with a plush surface to make getting out of bed barefoot a pleasurable experience. When measuring for a rug, it's important not only to keep your bed and other furniture in mind but also the room's perimeter as well. Ideally, your rug should extend to within 12-14 inches of the edge of the room, but try not to go further. Not only could this make the room look smaller, but you also run the risk of obstructing heating vents, which can be dangerous and inefficient.

For the Living Room: Mission Sofas Are a Worthy Centerpiece

Known for their rustic stained frames, Mission sofas are the perfect blend of elegance and comfort. How you style the room around the sofa will ultimately depend on whether you want to lean into the Mission aesthetic or to make a statement with a single piece. If you're looking to pair the simplicity of the sofa's signature straight lines and slats and dark leather or cloth, consider balancing the room with sheer, airy curtains and welcoming wall colors in order to bring some lightness into the space.

For Outdoor Spaces: A Softer Take on Mission Style Lighting

When you're designing a cohesive furniture concept for your home, make sure not to forget outdoor spaces. Patios, screened-in porches, decks, or entryways can all benefit from the craftsmanship and clean lines of Mission style lighting. Earlier, we suggested a statement chandelier, but for outdoor spaces, use the Mission style's warmth on an entryway to show neighbors and guests that your home is a welcoming one. The frosted glass of the light fixture can provide a warm, golden glow that will unify your aesthetic in subtle, classy ways.

The Mission style's viability as a design choice is due in large part to its versatility. Whether you want to outfit your home in the luxuriant craftsmanship or simply add nods to it throughout your home, choosing this style will ensure a warmth and beauty in your home for years to come.
