For a rustic look, try distressing the wood surface with sandpaper to create an aged appearance. Applying a matte or wax finish highlights the wood’s natural texture and grain, adding to the rustic charm. You can also add farmhouse-style decor, such as burlap table runners, vintage candle holders, or mason jar centerpieces. Swapping traditional chairs for mismatched or antique seating also adds character. If you’re open to DIY, consider adding iron or steel accents to the table legs for a rustic-industrial vibe. Small touches can transform a simple table into a rustic centerpiece.
