There’s nothing quite as cozy as a log cabin on a snowy winter’s night. With a toasty fire blazing, a steamy mug of cocoa, and plenty of classic books to curl up with, a rustic log cabin is the ideal vacation getaway for many people. But you don’t have to wait for your next vacation to escape to your rustic dream house. Make your fantasy home a reality with these five style tips for decorating modern rustic cabin interiors.
It’s impossible to picture a rustic log cabin without picturing wood. After all, the word “log” is right in the name!
With its natural look and understated elegance, wood flooring is a natural choice for cozy log cabin interiors of all kinds. Popular hardwood flooring options include oak, cherry, walnut, and maple. Choose from high-gloss varieties for a sleek, modern look, or go with distressed wood for a more rustic and natural appeal.
Area rugs are the perfect complement to wooden floors. Not only does pairing wood with carpet create a pleasant textural contrast, it also prevents the room from looking too repetitive. With their soft, inviting appearance, area rugs are ideal in casual seating areas, like the space around your fireplace or coffee table.
Log cabin style interior design is all about comfort and coziness. That means you’ll need soft, relaxing lighting to set the right mood. Look for wall sconces and floor lamps that cast a rich, buttery tone, like orange or yellow, while avoiding cool white or blue lighting.
Part of the appeal behind log cabin homes is that they help us feel closer to nature. Keep the theme going with woodsy, down-to-earth decor, such as dried flowers, faux fur pelts, or animal-patterned upholstery on your furniture.
From richly-patterned carpets to softwood and hardwood flooring, we carry the perfect home flooring products to make any space feel cozier, comfier, and more rustic. We’ll even handle the installation, making the process smooth and stress-free.
