How to Shop Furniture and Decor by Room or Style at Roughing It In Style
Roughing It In Style organizes its catalog two ways: by room and by style. If you already know where a piece is going, start with Shop by Room; if you know the look you want but not the exact item, start with Shop by Style. The two paths lead to the same inventory, so you can enter from either side and cross-check the other before buying. The site sells handcrafted and curated home furnishings, and it also offers interior design and barnwood cabinet design services if you want help beyond the catalog.
Shopping by Room
The room categories on the site are:
- Living Room
- Dining Room
- Kitchen
- Bedroom
- Office
- Bar & Rec Room
Each room page breaks down into specific furniture types rather than a single flat list. Examples from the site:
| Room | What you can shop |
|---|---|
| Living Room | Sofas & loveseats, accent chairs, sofa tables & consoles, coffee tables, ottomans |
| Dining Room | Dining room tables & chairs, buffets & hutches, dining room decor |
| Kitchen | Kitchen tables & chairs |
| Bedroom | Dressers & chests, daybeds |
| Office | Office tables & chairs, office desks |
| Bar & Rec Room | Bar and rec room furniture |
This structure is useful when you are furnishing one space at a time. If you are setting up a dining room, for example, you can move from tables and chairs to buffets and hutches within the same category instead of hunting across the whole site.
Shopping by Style
The style categories are:
- Reclaimed Wood
- Lake Home Furniture & Decor
- Refined Rustic Furniture
- Southwest Furniture
- Industrial Furniture
- Lodge & Cabin Furniture
Style browsing suits a different problem: you have a look in mind — say, lodge and cabin — but you are open on which room the piece belongs to. It also helps when you want a consistent feel across several rooms, since the same style label appears on furniture and decor from multiple room categories.
How to Combine Room and Style
The two filters are not mutually exclusive, and the most reliable approach is to use one to narrow and the other to confirm:
- Pick your anchor. Choose the room if placement is fixed, or the style if the look is fixed.
- Browse the matching category and note the specific item types that fit your space.
- Cross-check the other axis. Before committing, look at the same piece or a similar one under the other category to confirm it matches the rest of your home.
- Fill gaps with decor. The site notes that "style lives in the details," and decor items are grouped alongside furniture, so small pieces can tie a room together after the main furniture is chosen.
A practical example: if you are furnishing a lake home living room, start in Living Room for sofas and coffee tables, then check Lake Home Furniture & Decor to make sure the finishes and materials match the setting. If you are instead building a reclaimed-wood kitchen, start in Reclaimed Wood and then confirm the kitchen tables and chairs under Kitchen.
When to Ask for Design Help Instead
If browsing by room and style still leaves you unsure how pieces will work together, the site offers interior design services and barnwood cabinet design services. The design team is described as listening to your vision and bringing interior dreams to life, which is the better route when you are planning a whole room or a kitchen rather than buying a single item.
Seeing Items in Person
Both showrooms let you view furnishings directly:
- Harshaw, Wisconsin — 5079 US 51N, Harshaw, WI 54529. Phone (715) 358-5559. Open Mon–Fri 9am–5pm, Sat 10am–5pm, Sun 10am–5pm.
- Fort Collins, Colorado — 5816 South College Ave., Fort Collins, CO 80525. Phone (970) 282-9400. Open Mon–Thu 10am–6pm, Fri 10am–6pm, Sat 10am–5pm, Sun 11am–5pm.
Because the inventory is handcrafted and curated, availability can vary by piece. If a specific item matters to you, confirm it with the showroom before making the trip. For pricing terms, the site maintains a separate pricing policy page rather than listing prices in the category browse.
