Cabin interior design ideas

 Here are 5 log cabin interior design elements.

     Furniture is generally constructed of logs from birch, cedar, pine or aspen trees which are stained, lacquered or natural in finish.  Fabrics can range from more of a country check pattern to a solid bold color depending on how modern your tastes. Worn leather always makes a comfortable statement as well, and brings more of a “western” element to the living space.

    Lighting is as modern or as retro as you would like it to be. You can indulge your passion for antiques by using replicated tin or metal hanging lamps – or go for the natural wood based shaded table lamp. In the modern cabin log style homes, you will find more contemporary recessed lighting mixed in with the country style of the retro lamps – which creates a complimentary combination of old and new.  To truly bring the wilderness into your living space try a specialty antler chandelier.

     The rustic wall hooks in the mud room, not only keep your coats off the floor, but brings the rugged element of iron into your decor. The stone or pot bellied fireplace is also a prominent feature that recreates a camp fire into your living space all while providing you with the cozy, comfy atmosphere that will literally make the walls glow. Perhaps a bear rug in front of the fireplace is where you’ll find your romantic side making an appearance.
    Colors are usually kept in tune with nature; greens, blues, rusty tones, yellows, golds, browns and florals. Paneling, or even leaving the log poles exposed, will keep painting to a minimum and let the warmth of the wood engulf the room.
    Above all else, you’ll enjoy comfort and practicality when accessorizing. A colorful throw that mimics the wilderness doubles as a piece of art as well as warmth for your lap. The braided rug on the kitchen floor serves to balance the neutral walls while providing comfort for your feet, and reminding you of days gone by.
    So, below are some examples

  If the cabin is your own, then you will want to furnish and decorate it in a way that will give you that sense of escape and rest, yet at the same time make it feel like “home”.

 If your primary home is a modern city home, with a light and bright modern interior, then an excellent contrast for your lodge retreat is to seek out rustic country decor that blends well.

The liberal use of dark warm colored wood in furniture, wall hangings and ornaments, gives a cabin a warm, well used feeling that is inviting and comfortable!

 Using vintage rustic styles for your cabin decor can be taken a step further, by seeking out fabrics, ornaments, decorations, furniture and utensils that feature moose or deer. If you’d prefer, then broader nature themes can be used, featuring local trees and flowers, as well as animals familiar in the area where the cabin is located.
