Favorites in Cabin Decor
Examples of cabin decor accents include antler chandeliers, log furniture, animal trophies, Adirondack chairs and twig tables.
These pieces can be collected over time as you discover the accents and furniture required to turn your home or room into cabin decor themes. It is carefully selected personal details that make a house a home after all - or should we say "...a home a cabin".
Sometimes the most unique and personal selections are the most successful. Follow your instincts and discerned tastes and you'll design a rustic retreat with cabin decor.
Great cabin decor, with twig furnishings, mounted animal trophies, cabin themed fabrics and such are now modern log cabin classics classified as lodge decor, western decor and sometimes even rustic decor. Rustic furnishings and a slight wall treatment may be all you need to achieve these looks.
Lodge decor is based on hunting and retreat camps of long ago. These were built with unpeeled logs, trimmed with split branches and bark, and decked out with twig furniture, log beds and bulky handmade quilts. The outdoors was brought in through every means necessary. Hide rugs laid on the floor and trophies hung on the walls. Cabin furniture is straightforward.
This lodge decor style pervades decor today in log homes everywhere. Overstuffed chairs, moose horns on the walls, and deep leather sofas lend an air of relaxation and peace.
A step away from lodge decor is cabin decor. Cabin decor is an easy way to turn your home or room into a cozy and welcoming environment that facilitates long conversations. Similar to cottage country decor - a sunny, cheerful and colorful style - cabin decor has the same fun element, only warmer and more rustic.
Mix and match some elements of either side into your decor and you will have an eclectic themed room that "...somehow just works".
