The word rustic comes with the charm and warmth of rural or cottage living. Editing your photos with a rustic aesthetic can involve things like desaturating colors, adding contrast, and adding hints of warmth in color temperature. The overall vibe you get is a comforting, almost vintage look that evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia.
When it comes to applying rustic aesthetics to your photography, there are plenty of preset options to choose from. Whether it’s a weekend at the cottage, a canoe on the lake, or a warm cup of coffee in the forest, check out our list of the best rustic presets for Lightroom!
