OUTBACK RUSTIC
Echoing our landscape’s natural beauty with rich colours like rust, terracotta and olive green, the Outback look is a great way to visually warm and add a slice of sophisticated Australiana to your home.
Our natural landscape encompasses some of the most spectacular colours and textures to be found anywhere in the world, so why wouldn't we want to celebrate that within our homes?
The floor is one of the largest decorating spaces in any room, so the first step is to lay the foundations for the look with fabulous flooring.
Searching for something a little bolder?
Inspired by the trends of the 1970s and 1980s, style your home in Retro Revolution and re-create the bold shapes, colours and styles straight out of the disco era.

What does an Outback theme look like indoors?
The Outback look is a celebration of all things modern Australian, with a palette inspired by the colours of the desert – rusty terracotta, ochre, olive green, wattle yellow and charred black. “These muddy tones are paired with raw, grainy timbers, rustic furniture and tactile, woven elements to create a look that feels cocooning and authentic,” says Heather Nette King, Carpet Court's style ambassador. “To create this look, seek out contemporary locally made pieces crafted from natural timber, buttery leather and utilitarian metal, and accessorise with artisanal ceramics with tactile, earthy finishes. Remember that modern furniture shapes and lighting will keep this look contemporary."
“Add depth by layering similar tones of the one colour – say from walls to an upholstered sofa and cushions. Inject drama by painting joinery or kitchen cabinetry in matte black,” she says.
How to create a modern Outback-themed floor at home
“For this look, you’ll want a warm, earthy tone and texture underfoot. Choose flooring in a neutral shade with plenty of textural appeal, such as Carpet Court’s Ocean Road textured wool loop pile carpet in Lorne – a deep grey-brown, or a luscious twist plush pile carpet such as Lifestyle + Rising Splendour in Cottonseed,” she says. “For timber flooring, think warm mid-tones, such as oak or walnut, with natural knots and swirls or a weathered finish. Carpet Court’s Aqua-Tuf Hybrid in Blackbutt or Exquisit Laminate in Tuscany Walnut would both work well.” Resembling the rugged toughness of this great land, Aqua-Tuf is water, scratch and stain resistant while Blackbutt is a mid-tone Australian wood with a smooth, flowing grain.
In popular laminate flooring, we like Exquisit in Tuscany Walnut for the Outback look, which has a rich and warm luxuriousness with varied hues highlighting the wood grain.
For a luxurious wool option, Ocean Road in Lorne provides the charred black base against which to offset your traditional outback hues. This pure wool carpet has a highly textured loop pile and offers natural stain, soil and moisture resistant.
