Verb. (third-person singular simple present forbodes, present participle forboding, simple past and past participle forboded). 1  To portend or foretell, especially of ill; to serve as a sign or ill omen.
For example, rich colors such as evergreen, burgundy or navy look striking in a rustic log cabin. However, because you're just using panels of color, there's no danger in the richness of these colors darkening the interior of the cabin.
Using natural items can add to rustic home decor as well; using pine cones or raw pieces of driftwood as accents in a room can give it a more natural feel. Perhaps the most common type of rustic home decor is unfinished log furniture. Tables, chairs, bed frames, and other pieces can be made from logs that are not cut to angles or planes, but are instead left raw and, in some cases, with bark remaining on the wood.
