It’s no wonder that cabin decor ideas are all about creating a sense of warmth and retreat, given the wild landscape that often lies beyond the doors. On the peak of a snowy mountain, or tucked in a pine forest overlooking a lake, cabin decor typically pays tribute to nature, while also creating a reprieve from it.

The cozy cabin look is an obvious choice for log homes, Adirondack camps and midcentury A-frames, but it’s an appealing decorating idea for anyone after a look that’s casual, nostalgic, and welcoming.

15 cabin decor ideas for a welcoming retreat

Whatever the style of your current home, there are country decorating ideas to achieve a cabin decorating look to suit it. Here are 10 beautiful ideas for cozy cabin vibes.  

1. Use hides and leather

The textiles you choose for your home play a big part in setting its overall tone and style direction. In this Long Island cabin, choosing materials that speak to nature and the local landscape, like hides and leather, are a key part of this rustic bedroom idea, and help create the cozy atmosphere we associate with cabin decorating. 

2. Choose neutrals

If you love the charm of a rough-hewn space, but prefer a more polished or sophisticated style, choose organic, neutral furniture and decor. 

Neutrals feel calming and chic, and create a more contemporary design. Opting for organic shapes and fabrics, like un-bleached linen, concrete, and natural wools maintain an elevated look that still fits within the rustic shell of a cabin home. 

3. Set the scene with green

If cabins are all about paying homage to nature, then green is the ultimate cabin  accent color. Above, designer Kate Hunt of Kathryn Hunt Studio chose a classic subway tile for her clients’ cabin bathroom, but instead of going for stark white, she chose a soothing jade color that underscores the home’s connection to the outdoors.

4. Incorporate stone

In case we haven’t made this clear, the key to decorating a cabin so that it has a sense of place (i.e., it feels like a cabin) is incorporating natural materials to tie the interiors to the outside.

While wood is an obvious choice, especially in log cabins, stone is another must-have material for cabin decor. Try a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, or use it to frame your range for a standout rustic kitchen idea, like designer Bria Hammel did for this Stone Lake, Wisconsin, cabin. 

5. Retrofit rusticity with reclaimed materials

Just because your home doesn’t have a traditional cabin structure doesn’t mean you can’t make it feel that way inside. If you’re looking for a way to make your ski condo feel a little more authentic, for example, or you want to add mountain charm to a new construction, look to reclaimed materials, like salvaged barn board, which lend a authentic, weathered look to any space.

Designer Kate Hunt added historic charm back to her client’s gut-renovated Long Island home with reclaimed, salvaged and repurposed materials, including wood from a local barn. 

6. Pile on the texture

In a home with a rough-hewn shell, like a log cabin, texture plays a central role in creating an inviting atmosphere. Design firm Rumor Designs achieved a welcoming bedroom idea by mixing a vintage wool rug, a metal and linen bed, and plenty of pillows. 

‘In our Behr Cabin project, we added character through layers of pillows, throws with plenty of texture and wooden logs mixed with fresh painted chinking to achieve the ultimate cozy feel,’ says Lindsey Jamison, lead designer at Rumor Designs.

7. Add camp blankets

Camp blankets, or thick wool blankets often adorned with Southwestern or Adirondack-style prints, are the cabin bedding of choice. Amy Brightman chose them for Warner’s Camp , an 1880s farmhouse she owns and designed in the the Adirondack State Park, to create a space she calls ‘cozy and true to the area.’

You can purchase similar blankets new from brands like Pendleton or Hudson’s Bay, but they’re also a flea market favorite and you shouldn’t have to search too long to find a vintage version. 

8. Go minimalist to let nature shine

If you’re after a soothing, zen-like space, take a minimalist approach to cabin decorating. Simple furnishings, white bedding, and few window treatments allow nature and the views beyond the windows to add the decorative element. Plus, sleek design juxtaposed with the rustic architecture of a cabin home creates a balanced, harmonious feel.  

9. Create a vintage cabin feel

(Image credit: Aimee Mazzenga)

Cabins are the perfect canvas for vintage finds, so indulge your desire to visit your local antique malls and flea markets. 

Items like pennants or camp flags, antler mounts, signs and postcards can be gathered to form a retro wall decor idea, like this one at Camp Wandawega in Wisconsin. Or, start a collection of antique objects like lanterns, oars, skis, or tools to create a display with a story. 

10. Add antique pieces

(Image credit: Rumor Designs)

The lived-in nature of antique pieces make them a natural fit for cabin decor. 

‘In our Cow Creek project, we incorporated a dining table that has been in the owner’s family for generations and added tea kettles/pots from the owner’s grandmother to bring this slowed-down rural look to life,’ says Jamison, whose firm also designed the above space. ‘The owner has stories of babies being born on this table way back in the day!’

11.

Paint the walls white for a Scandi feel

Cabin decor tends to skew dim and cozy, but there’s no hard-and-fast rule that is has to be. Just take a look at the bright and cheery wall paneling idea at the Cedar Point Aframe.

The angled walls of the cabin are painted white to open up a smaller living area, while the perpendicular walls are left au natural. Owner Sarah Scott took a cue from the combination of white and wood tones, and chose a clean-lined sofa and ceiling fan for a Scandinavian look. A vintage chest adds a subtle rustic element. 

12. Add leather (and antlers)

(Image credit: Bib Coscarelli)

This room, at Camp Wandawega, is a study in cabin decorating. It sets the scene with deep colors like rich browns, forest green, and navy, and rounds out the look with the most classic of cabin decorating trios: a pair of leather sofas, taxidermy mounts, and an antler chandelier.  

13. Mix old and new for an updated cabin look

(Image credit: Chris Daniele)

‘When designing a space, I generally like to get creative and pair old with new,’ says  Brightman. ‘I think the look we achieved here is a blend of mid century and art deco, with a nod to the Adirondack Great Camp style.’

To get the look, layer vintage furnishings with unexpected contemporary pieces, like the white armchair in the corner of the entryway above.

14. Pull your color palette from nature

(Image credit: Rumor Designs,)

Since cabins are all about embracing the outdoors, the paint ideas and decorative elements you incorporate into your home should pull from its surroundings.

This entryway from Rumor Designs uses a color palette of sage green, gray-blue, and brown for the walls and furnishings, which are echoed in the Earth-toned rug.

15. Soak in the view

(Image credit: Stonorov Workshop Architects)

Cabins celebrate nature, and what better vantage point from which to take in the great outdoors than a soaking tub filled to the brim with bubbles? (Especially if it follows a long day on the hiking, biking, or skiing trail).

In this space by Stonorov Workshop Architects the simple, contemporary lines of the Duravit bathtub add just the right amount of modern contrast to this primitive bathroom. 

How do you modernize a cabin?

Modernizing a cabin isn’t like updating any other home, because the characteristics that may make it feel dated are likely the same ones that give it its rustic charm. So, you can’t exactly give it a gut renovation. But, you can achieve both the goal of having a modern cabin space without stripping away its character. Here are a few ideas:

  • Update kitchens and baths. Perhaps the biggest impact you can make on an old cabin is to update the kitchen and bathrooms. Replacing (or painting) old cabinetry, adding new fixtures, and re-tiling floors can make the entire home feel renewed.
  • Replace the flooring. Old carpet or peeling linoleum will make your cabin feel dirty and dingy no matter what other updates you do. Replace old flooring with hardwoods, or luxury vinyl plank flooring with a wood look.
  • Paint a wall or two. Painting interior timber beams can feel like a sacrilege, but it’s not. There are a lot of ways to use paint for wood ceiling ideas so it adds character to your cabin. For example, if you own a chalet-style cabin with a pitched interior roof, you can paint the walls below the roofline to preserve the wood tones while adding a modern element. Or, in a bedroom, paint only the wall behind the bed for an accent wall idea that creates a focal point. Even giving an old brick fireplace a coat of black or white paint can make it feel more modern. 
  • Add in modern furnishings. Vintage decor is a natural fit for cabins, but if you use only vintage, you’ll run the risk of an older cabin looking like a time capsule. Instead, choose new furniture with clean lines, and pepper in vintage pieces as accents, and a way to tie together new style and old.

    Double Duty

    Marta Dowling

    Using a trunk as a coffee table, as Marta Dowling did, is an excellent way to create camp-like vibes in your very own living room. Better yet, large trunks like this one can make for extremely valuable storage. Stuff blankets, board games, and other night-in essentials inside, then sit back and enjoy a laid back evening at home. A sparkly chandelier will make you feel like you’re actually outdoors under the star.

    Marvelous Mix

    Laura Coles

    Don’t be afraid to mix wood tones in a space, as Laura Coles did in this texture-filled bedroom.

    Repurposed Magic

    Melissa Keyser

    Furniture doesn’t need to be fancy to shine in your space.

Modern Cabin Decorating Tips That Work For Any Style

Cabins radiate a sense of coziness, warmth, and comfort for the lucky homeowners who get to experience their atmosphere. However, there is a tendency for these spaces to become dark, kitschy, and overwhelming when improperly decorated. With so many earthy textures and dark tones to work with in the design, it can be challenging for homeowners to create a gorgeous, modern space. What you truly need is a fresh take on traditional cabin decor that will brighten the room and restore that sense of comfort and coziness that you adore.

  • What to know before decorating a log cabin
  • How to update the modern cabin look

To avoid the decorative woes of cabin ownership, we’ve gathered a few tips to help you create a more modern log cabin interior design.

What to know before decorating a log cabin

Before you can jump into your remodel, familiarize yourself with the common pitfalls DIY designers often fall into. While every home will have its own challenges, cabins come with some unique problems that homeowners should avoid.

Too much wood can be overwhelming

One of the most common struggles when implementing a fresh, modern log cabin interior design is the overwhelming amount of wood present in the space. Traditional cabins are notorious for their log-lined walls, rustic wooden floorboards, and timber beams, but this can lead to a dark and crowded room.

Subdue this wood overload with light, bright fabrics, furniture, and decor. Some cabins already have a stone or brick fireplace to help break up the space, so think about incorporating these elements into your design as well.

The space may look kitschy

When it comes to log cabins, there’s a thin line between cute and tacky. Many cabins offer natural rustic charm, but homeowners tend to get carried away creating a space that’s overly themed. Adding too many rustic pieces, dark woods, and knick-knacks can clutter and overwhelm the space.

How to update the modern cabin look

Now, it’s time for the fun part: carrying out your new design. Below are some of our tips for curating a successful modern design plan for your cabin.

Use modern light fixtures

Statement lights, glass fixtures, pendants, and chandeliers can transform the look of your cabin, brightening up the space and creating a nice juxtaposition against the dark wooden tones of your room.

Modern lighting, like drum pendants or globes, introduces rounded shapes in your design, breaking up the rigid lines that accompany logged walls or plank flooring. Search for statement pieces in round or irregular shapes that will make your design look more interesting. Don’t be afraid to opt for multi-lighting solutions like multi-pendants or chandeliers to add some elegance, as well.

Opt for lightly colored rugs

Since cabins have a tendency to be dark and imposing, using light-colored fabrics can help brighten the space. Rugs in soft beige, cream, or grey can lighten the room and make it feel bigger and more open. Additionally, lighter fabrics on sofas, blankets, and chairs can also liven up a dark room.

When choosing a color palette for your modern cabin design, you can honor the building’s rustic, natural charm and add a little color by using earthy neutrals like green, taupe, navy blue, and other gentle tones.

Use mirrors and glass in your design

Mirrors and glass features are light and fragile when compared to the typical rustic materials found in log cabins, creating an interesting contrast throughout the space. Circular and elliptical mirrors look best against the horizontal lines of log cabin walls but feel free to lean into the rustic aesthetic with vintage pieces. Additionally, mirrors reflect light extremely well, making the rooms feel brighter and more open.

Glass tables, vases, and decor help create a gentle and sophisticated style in your home. Don’t forget to maximize the most impressive glass feature of all: windows. Position furniture so that it doesn’t block out natural lighting, and utilize oversize windows as a statement piece in your design.

Experiment with color and texture

Statement colors like blue and red can add more vibrancy to the atmosphere, while plants bring life and vibrancy to your home. Adding plants of all shapes and sizes is also a natural and subtle way to add a little color and texture to your design and break up all the neutrals.

Updating your modern cabin is about balancing the rustic atmosphere with contemporary accents to give you a home that’s both cozy and updated. Don’t be afraid to use modern lighting in conjunction with antique decor, or pair simple, white leather couches with an ornate rug. Finding this balance between modernity and cabin decor will allow you to rest and rejuvenate in a comfortable, luxurious space that exudes tranquility.

Oh it’s just the perfect time of year to be writing about cabin decor ideas, isn’t it? Don’t get us wrong we love a rustic cabin interior all year round, but fall and winter is where they come into their own. Open fires, sheepskin rugs, piles of logs – dreamy, dreamy stuff. And hey, even if your home isn’t technically a cabin you can still get inspired to bring some of those cozy vibes into your home…

And for more cosy living room ideas check out our gallery.

1. No log burner? Fake a wood burner, instead

(Image credit: Malcolm Menzies)

A log burner and cabin vibes go hand in hand, but what if you aren’t blessed with a glorious crackling fire in your home? Well if you’ve got a TV you’ve got a fire – Netflix even has a load of options to bring a ‘fireplace’ into your home. We like how in this new build log cabin they have taken it even further and surrounded their  ‘fire’ with log effect fabric.

2. Keep your color scheme warm and inviting

Traditional cabin-style decor is all about keeping things as warm and cozy as possible – low, glowing lights, lots of wooden textures and a warm color palette. Pick soft furnishings in deep oranges, mustards and work browns in there too. Greens can work really well also and add a pop of color amongst all those neutrals. 

For more fall color schemes to get you inspired check out our gallery. 

3. Or go for alternative cabin decor with lighter colors 

(Image credit: H&M)

And then there’s the other side of cabin decor, the more minimalist, more light and airy look that’s increased in popularity recently. This is a much easier trend to work into your home as it’s a bit more liveable than the whole wood-clad walls and antlers hanging above the mantle (not that we don’t love that look too). 

Copy this look by keeping your colors to a minimum – white and cream with touches of wood and greenery. Soften it up with plenty of pillows and rugs and add a wall of paneling, too. 

We have a whole gallery of white living room ideas if you want more of this classic look. 

3. Go freestanding in your kitchen for a cabin feel

(Image credit: Philip Lauterbach)

We love cabin kitchens – sure they are usually small but they have such a relaxed feel and are so practical too, making the most of all the space. The key to the look is the freestanding units, and this is a look to can create or add to your kitchen too. Have a look on eBay for vintage dressers, kitchen islands and butcher’s blocks you can incorporate into your current space. Obviously, when it comes to kitchen decor just layer up the wooden chopping board, get your cutest crockery on display and you are pretty much there.

For more freestanding kitchens check out our full gallery. 

4. Create reading nooks for cozy afternoons

(Image credit: Ikea)

Because there’s always a cozy reading nook in a cabin, somewhere you can put up your feet, pick up a good book and usually look out over a gorgeous forest or a glistening lake. Maybe you won’t have the country views but of course you can create a space in your home to curl up with a book – pick the comfiest chair and add plenty of cushions and throws. Make sure the lighting is soft too, enough to read by but nothing too glaring. 

Note those vintage crates that have been turned on the side for extra book storage! Cute and practical. And find more reading nook ideas in our gallery. 

5. Layer up the textiles in your bedroom 

(Image credit: Malcolm Menzies)

Even if you don’t have wood-paneled walls, you can bring rustic vibes into your bedroom. Bedding, comforters, pillows, the more layers the better to make your space as cozy as possible. Stick to a neutral color scheme too if you want it to be on the Scandi side of cabin decor rather than the more traditional look.

6. Switch up your bedroom lighting for a softer feel

And once you have your bedding sorted, look to your lighting. The lighting in cabins is also low, glowy and warm and you can easily recreate that in your home, something as simple as switching your light bulbs to something warmer or change a shade so it spreads light more softly, and if in doubt just string up the fairy lights.  

For more tips on bedroom lighting ideas check out our guide. 

7. Mix patterns and textures for a boho look

(Image credit: Ikea)

The boho trend seems to have taken over every element of interior design, and cabin decor is no exception. The cozy eclectic feel of boho works so well mixed with the rustic side of classic cabin interiors and it a really simple look to recreate too. As with most cabin decorating, it’s all about the layering. Layer up different textures and patterns and pick out pieces that have a ‘worn’ look to give the space that very lived-in feel.

8. Add plenty of faux fur

  • This rustic Christmas home tour was inspired by the design work of Ken Fulk, who is renowned for his layered interiors, high-concept hospitality brands and unforgettable parties. Ken Fulk grew up surrounded by beautiful, rural landscapes in Virginia justifying the designer’s passion for snowy wonderlands and sung hearth sides.

  • This stunning ranch style house is perched high on a hilltop and nestled among the trees claiming its rightful place on a scenic 200-acre property in Texas. The owner desired an ample yet understated home with natural and simple architectural expression that would blend effortlessly into the landscape that surrounds it. Heavy timber columns and stone walls ground the home to the site. Reclaimed siding and simple barn-like structures give the architecture a sense of history and regional belonging. Referencing the owner’s love of the old west, many of the interior walls showcase the same stone and wood that is on the exterior of the home. This gesture alludes to a time when materials were not mass produced but simply gathered from the area and formed as needed.

  • This post features tours of beautiful country homes designed by Beth Webb, an internationally recognized interior designer admired for her tactile, serene, and dynamic spaces. Beth believes beauty only works if it is calibrated by ease, and that elegance is rooted in simplicity. “Texture is my color palette,” says Beth, who uses a variety of materials and objects to create interest in a room. She mingles sinuous profiles with hard lines, juxtaposing masculine and feminine silhouettes to create compelling, sensual spaces. Layered light is another crucial element bringing a sense of warmth, romance and contentment to Beth’s interiors.

  • Today we begin a tour of a stunning Atlanta home where the pallet was inspired by the home owner’s (Jane Hight) vast collection of blue-and-white Imari porcelain inherited from her mother and grandmother. Having served as the accountant for interior designer Lauren DeLoach for several years, it was natural for Hight to enlist the designer’s help when decorating her home.

Log Cabin Interior Design: 47 Cabin Decor Ideas

Advertisement

The log cabin interior design is associated with those winter vacations where you do nothing but relax. However, we mustn’t forget that there are also log cabin homes.

A mountain house design is always composed of the basic elements: stone and wood.

The cabin architecture is represented by a brick stone fireplace, wood and stone plaster, surrounded by trees and beautiful landscapes.

With time log home interiors have changed. Today the natural fur carpet is not indispensable because other decorative elements have replaced it.

A modern one took its place. One that gives the same harmony and intimate feeling when you are looking to escape in the silence of the mountains far, far away from the crowded city.

Imagine when you wake up with fir trees at your windows, or when you drink your coffee on the porch admiring the landscape. Not even the most expensive wine could compare with a regular wine in front of the fireplace while staying on pillows.

But first: Why do we like log cabin homes?

Well, it’s a long list of reasons why we like log cabin homes! Somewhere among them, we would mention warm memories and cozy feelings; intimate atmosphere; and unique charm. Log cabin interiors have a lot of features that contribute to their natural looks: rustic style, carefully chosen materials; a cozy fireplace…

Today, we have a question for you: Why not transfer this lovely feeling straight from the mountains into the urban areas?

Why not recreate a log cabin in the very comfort of your home? This could be easier and cheaper than owning a real cabin since it requires only a few modest changes. After all, you have a lot of log cabin design ideas easily accessible online.  From the rustic cabin interior to a modern cabin interior, cabin décor ideas abound.

It’s true: you cannot implement each log cabin decor feature in the suburbs, but you add log home decorations and can secure a landscape porch to drink coffee with friends; or a brick fireplace which throws light at your wine glass in the evenings. Priceless, isn’t it?

What is the difference between a house and a cabin?

A cabin is a simple style of building which is often built from logs.   Cabins are often single storied and lack the sophistication or ‘finished’ element of a house.  Instead, cabins are often rustic in appearance.

Rules? There are none with log cabin decor

Implement whatever sounds like a good idea. At the end of the day, coziness and comfort are personal; and they have a different meaning for every person.

However, if you still prefer to follow traditional log cabin interior design, you could think of vintage furnishing elements, soft rugs, and timber fences.

As we said: it all depends on your wishes when it comes to log cabin interiors. What could really be a good idea is to decorate with your favorite belongings and personal items so that the place would resemble both style and individualism.

Let’s cover some basics about building a log cabin, and then we’ll move on to cabin interiors.

Do you need foundations for a log cabin?

Yes.  By creating foundations for your log cabin, you will provide a solid base to bear the weight of your cabin.  Building foundations will protect your cabin from soil erosion, where soil naturally subsides over time.  It will also protect your cabin from soil which gives way under the weight of your cabin.

How much does it cost to build a log cabin?

The cost of a log cabin will depend largely on the size and style of your cabin.  However, building a simple log cabin is not unaffordable, and can be completed for approximately $19,400.

Are log cabins well insulated?

Log cabins are built from wood.  Wood is a natural insulator, and therefore the interiors of log cabins are protected from the outside environment.

When outside temperatures fluctuate, interiors will remain at a stable temperature.  Log cabins therefore require less heating than concrete buildings or structures.

Han you insulate a log cabin?

If your logs are packed tightly together, you probably won’t need to insulate your cabin.  However, it is possible to do so.  You can use either a twin wall of logs with skin style insulation in between, or bracket style insulation.

How good of an insulator is wood?

Wood is an excellent insulator, keeping cabin temperatures stable.  It has air pockets within its structures which naturally regulate temperatures.

Wood is 15 times more effective as an insulator when compared to masonry, 400 times more effective than steel, and an incredible 1770 times more effective than aluminium.

Do you need planning permission to build a log cabin?

Yes, you do.

A log cabin is a structure and needs to be carefully planned for safety reasons.

If you aim to build a log cabin on a piece of land, and your land does not come with building permissions, you will need to apply.   You will also need to get your cabin plans approved to ensure they meet safety regulations.

What wood to use for a log cabin?

If you’re planning on building a log cabin, Douglas Fir would be an excellent wood to use.  Douglas Fir is a soft wood, and it has an attractive red-blonde color to complement your home.  Other great choices are pine, yellow cedar or spruce.

Let us mention a few excellent log cabin interior practices:

Make the log cabin interior thematic

Log cabins usually have a purpose. People build them for hunting, skiing, camping, or any similar activity. Therefore, think about your favorite activities and choose a pleasant theme that resembles your lifestyle.

There are a lot of themes you could choose from nature, wildlife, lakes, lodge, western ranches, etc. Each of these log cabin ideas looks absolutely amazing and could be easily achieved with appropriate furniture, fabrics, or decorative accessories.

You can even choose various themes and combine them in the way you like. For instance, you could choose a log cabin decor for every room; and make the experience even more playful and interesting.

Do you have a small cabin? No problem. There are plenty of small log cabin interiors designed beautifully and I’m sure you’ll design yours equally well.

Start with the log cabin ceiling and the walls

Before you do whatever, think about a genuine log cabin. How exactly does it look? What is it made of?

In most of the cases, log cabins’ exterior is made of wooden logs with recognizable texture and rounded panels. The log cabin interior wall, on the other hand, doesn’t have to be wooden. You can use any cover you like, as long as you try to make it look authentic.

For instance, you could obtain a natural and rugged appearance with horizontal groove-wood panels, finally covered with pine or red cedar. As for log cabin colors, we recommend you to choose warm and natural shades, such as beige, walnut brown, golden, orange, or darker blue.

If you want to be even more professional, try applying v-joint paneling, which will match the ceiling/walls; and will complete the authentic cabin look with almost genuine log beams.

Next step: flooring and windowing

Wide planks and natural colors are ideal for a log cabin’s flooring. However, their serious drawback is their high price, so you may also look at few alternatives which cost significantly less, but have the same effect (laminate, for instance). The best side of laminate flooring is its durability, as well as easy installation and scratch-resistance.

In addition, you could enrich the authentic and beautiful look with window layers that bring a slice of the wooden exterior inside a log cabin room.

For instance, we recommend you use wooden blinds with tiny slats, which protect your privacy but they still manage to let the right amount of sun in the rooms. Dark curtains or ones with impressive finials (leaf, pinecone etc), as well as heavy drapes with catchy prints could also contribute to the log home interior.

Appropriate lighting for log cabin interior design

A log cabin’s power to enhance pleasant and welcoming feelings is also associated with light. Proper light and lighting fixtures have an important role when it comes to mood and rustic decoration.  Excellent lighting will always result in a cozy cabin interior.

To start with, you should rethink normal lighting; and think of something more dramatic that influences both the eyes and the soul.

We recommend you use antler chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings; lamps made of birch bark; or even metal candlesticks that send you back in time.

Beware, it’s not just about the light you’re going to apply, but also about the position. Beams should come from all unexpected corners and should be nothing like LED batteries or neon bulbs. They must look natural.

Furnishing a log cabin interior

As you already imagine, cabin style furnishing has nothing to do with contemporary interior design. Rustic cabin interior design is rugged, ‘dusty’, and authentic. In fact, proper furniture can really help you bring nature inside. You could use unfinished wood for your tables, cabinets, or chairs; or even decorate with fur and genuine logs.

Don’t forget that authentic furnishing refers to all of your rooms. Your bedroom, for instance, could benefit from hewn bed frames; Your log home living room could be furnished with leather sofas, or animal-patterned chairs and rugs.

If your theme is hunting, you’re welcomed to attach animal-inspired decorations; or whatever you think could resemble nature and wildlife.

Although there are some people who say cabins all look the same and they’re just stone and wood homes, the truth is that there are lots of log home ideas to choose from.

The fireplace in a log cabin interior

Inside log homes, sparkling fireplaces made of stone and bricks are the most common feature are essential to log home style.  People build them in a way that resembles genuine rocks, with stacked-stone for the basis; and a hoarse wooden mantel for the covering.

If this seems too expensive (or difficult to maintain) you can always buy a more practical electric fireplace. There are online a lot of cool cabin ideas with electric fireplaces as well.  No matter your choice, a  log cabin living room with a fireplace will be one of the coziest spaces to come home to.

Iron balustrade

Log cabins are one of the rare environments where wood logs and wrought iron look good together. The idea behind this combination is to resemble nature’s strength, and to complement the image of its simplicity.

Therefore, iron balustrades can be a stylish contrast for light wood and warm colors, accenting the solidity and durability of your log construction.

You’ll see this often in mountain log cabin designs and there’s a really good reason they do it.  Go to Pinterest and check out some awesome log homes for ideas.

Log cabin decorating ideas

We may call decoration ‘a final touch’, but that doesn’t make it less important than the other design phases. When it comes to log cabin home decorating, fancy vases will not serve the purpose, not as much as antiquities and large wooden clocks would do!

Once again, take all rooms into consideration: spread the antique vibe in the kitchen, and hang a rich collection of iron cookware and painted pottery.  This look is popular with rustic cabin interior designs.

Stoneware details and kerosene lamps will also underline the rustic charm you’re trying to introduce. Finally, limit the artwork to pieces that resemble nature, for instance, landscape paintings, deer horns, ducks, etc.  Cabin wall ideas will assist you to bring nature inside. You could even hang some log home photography to give your home a family feel.

Throw some personal belongings in, as to make the place look like a happy home, rather than a museum. Your snowshoes, skies, or fishing equipment should be the first thing visitors notice when they come inside.

If you’re a hunter, tell your story through a collection of old-timer guns, knives, or horns. Each idea that can make your space more interesting is welcomed!  You may want to look at some early pioneer log homes pictures for inspiration.

Dining rooms and kitchens in log cabin homes

As we already pointed out, when it comes to country cabin decorating, kitchens and dining rooms are given as much attention as all other parts of your home. Your creativity should not overlook even the tiniest detail, as for instance napkins and sitting cushions.

Heavy drapes with impressive patterns are excellent log cabin kitchen ideas. So are homey candlesticks, iron cookware, and soft cozy rugs.

Even a large horn chandelier could be a solution, mainly for spacious kitchens with high ceilings. Fur is welcomed everywhere and in every shape, especially when it is strategically positioned to keep the family members warm.

Stone bathrooms, wood ceiling, bunk beds or wooden kitchen are classic elements of log home decor.

Here you will find more cabin decorating ideas for spending your time in a healthy way. I hope these log décor ideas are the ones that will inspire you to create an awesome log cabin home decor.

Do-it-yourself upholstery of the car interior

In a new car, at first everything is like that, but during operation, the colors of the upholstery material begin to lose their brightness, rub off and become covered with stains that can no longer be cleaned. This problem is especially acute for light-colored interiors, when, after several years of operation, do-it-yourself upholstery of the car interior is simply necessary.

Of course, you can solve the problem by contacting the service, where professionals will completely change the upholstery of the seats and the interior, but many can do the upholstery of the car interior with their own hands, so you save a significant amount of money and can give the car elegance to your personal taste.

Step 1: choose the material

Everyone agrees that leather upholstery is the ideal solution for any vehicle, but not everyone can afford this pleasure, because it is not cheap.

However, today there are other upholstery materials that have earned popularity among car owners for their qualities:

  1. Carpet is the cheapest and most easily accessible of the materials; a decorative pile coating is usually applied on top of its non-woven base. Its main advantage is a completely simple installation process and a huge selection of colors.
  2. Alcantara – has a base of fine-fiber threads, the material is made using the technologies of the chemical and textile industries. Alcantara is a material with good characteristics of strength and durability, it is distinguished by softness, a silky surface and a dirt-resistant coating.
  3. Leatherette is a cheap and attractive material, which, unfortunately, has an impressive list of disadvantages. Its main disadvantages include an unpleasant odor that lasts in the cabin for a long time, increased elasticity characteristics, low resistance to mechanical impacts, as well as the ability to absorb odors, sometimes quite unpleasant.

When purchasing material for a future do-it-yourself upholstery of a car interior, be sure to look at the quality of the goods you want to sell, you should check the uniformity of the structures of any material. If you decide to opt for Alcantara, remember that the direction of the fibers can be crucial when cutting, otherwise it will turn out that on the same seat all the details will differ in shades.

Step 2: preparing the tools

Since the process of car upholstery with any material, be it leatherette, carpet, velor or leather, is carried out according to a certain algorithm, it requires tools, sometimes they even need to be bought specially. So, you will need: a sewing machine (you need it if you plan to replace the seat trim), soundproofing materials (at your request), a set of keys. And also a couple of tubes of glue, a hair dryer, a set of screwdrivers, scissors for working with linoleum.

Step 3: getting started

It must be remembered that depending on the model of the car, the sequence for replacing the interior upholstery may vary slightly. However, in general terms, it is the same for everyone:

  • First, all fasteners and all fittings, such as visors, handles and decorative elements, are removed
  • Disconnect the electrical wiring in the car, remove the connectors, unfasten the decorating elements and remove the old upholstery
  • When dismantling is completed, the surfaces are cleaned of all contamination
  • All metal and plastic parts are degreased
  • The future upholstery is being cut, for which the old parts are applied to a sheet of cardboard, then it should be cut. It is advisable to transfer finished cardboard patterns to the prepared material only when you check that you have done everything correctly.
  • When the parts of the new interior upholstery are ready, they should be installed on the surface, having previously thoroughly smeared them with a layer of glue
  • If necessary, you can use a hair dryer to smooth out the formed wrinkles. In addition to steaming, you can beat off the upholstery seams with little force, then everything will look even more neat and beautiful.
  • And finally, all fasteners removed at the beginning of work should be reinstalled.

Do-it-yourself car upholstery: some useful tips for each part of the interior

First, let’s watch the video:

Seats

If you decide to completely replace the upholstery on the seats, and not buy new covers, then first you need to cut the old upholstery at the seams, you will make a pattern on it. After the individual elements are ready, using a sewing machine, you should assemble them into a single product. Nowadays it is much easier to go and buy new covers, in auto shops there is a huge selection of various options for this product.

Doors

Removing dirt is especially important when changing upholstery on car doors by hand. When you start your pattern, remember to leave about a centimeter of allowances on all sides of the part. Be careful when making the holes needed for the door handle and power window handle. In places where the upholstery is close to the door, be sure to apply a layer of glue.

Do-it-yourself upholstery of the car interior: ceiling

To replace the ceiling upholstery, an important fact is the complete dismantling of all backlights, plugs, handles and decorative parts of the racks. Only the fulfillment of this condition will allow you to change the ceiling lining as carefully as possible. By the way, if you chose a leatherette for the ceiling, it is recommended to heat it up a little before starting the installation, then it will be elastic, which means that it will be easy and simple to fix it.

Armrests

In order to tighten the armrests, they must first be removed, then patterns should be made from the previous parts, always leaving a small amount of material around the edges. After that, the product is glued over the entire area, the edges are carefully fixed, and processed with a hair dryer.

And finally

In cases where there is a need or simply a desire, foam rubber or special insulating material is placed under the parts before the final installation of the new upholstery.

As it becomes clear from the above, do-it-yourself upholstery of a car interior is a very real task. Of course, it requires investing a certain amount of money and several hours of time, but the result is worth it, because then you will be proud of the fact that with your own hands, without the help of professionals, you changed the entire upholstery in the car.

What are the repair and decoration of beauty salon

Renovation of a beauty salon cannot be compared with renovation of an apartment or other living space.

The diversity of beauty salons and the variety of services provided to the population dictate specific requirements for their equipment and arrangement:

  • renovation of a beauty salon consists in the creation of separate rooms adapted for various cosmetic procedures;
  • a solarium located in the building of a beauty salon must have a separate entrance and an individual ventilation system;
  • each separate office must have a communication system, including electricity, water supply, and heating. The device of the communication system should be aimed at creating maximum convenience for both the master and the client;
  • renovation of a beauty salon, its interior design must obey a single style, emphasizing it in all details.
  • When planning the renovation of a beauty salon, try to end up with a harmonious combination of style, comfort and functionality. Many women perceive a visit to a beauty salon as relaxation and restoration of peace of mind, and the whole environment should emphasize comfort. But the procedure should be convenient not only for the visitor, but also for the master, so all workplace equipment, including communications, must be arranged with this in mind. For example, a hairdresser can easily wash a client’s head in a specially designated area, so it makes no sense to place a sink next to a work chair. Near the master’s chair, it is convenient to have several sockets so that a clipper, hair dryer, curling iron, etc. can be used at the same time.

    When planning the renovation of a beauty salon, do not forget to set aside an area for wardrobe equipment. According to accepted standards, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe dressing room should be at least 6 square meters. m.

    Design project for the repair of a beauty salon

    Before you start repairing a beauty salon, you should foresee everything and correctly draw up a design project that should include all the nuances, including:

    • ergonomics, providing for the arrangement of furniture, equipment, interior decors, taking into account convenience and full functionality;
    • color scheme;
    • laying of engineering and technical communications, including water supply, sewerage, taking into account aesthetic performance;
    • ventilation system, air conditioning and air exchange device;
    • calculation of lighting and the planned load on the power grid.

    When planning to open a beauty salon, it is necessary to adhere to a single concept, which will be determined by marketing research. Initially, you need to understand what the work of the salon will be focused on: the provision of medical or aesthetic services. It is important that the interior matches the chosen style and the general idea, the desire of the owner and meets the requirements of the chosen class.

    Design support for the repair of a beauty salon is a working draft and a design project.

    The design project includes not only the concept of modifications in the room. This includes the documentation developed during the design process, corresponding to the chosen style and defining the idea of ​​interior design.

    The meaning of drawing up a design project lies in the layout of the room, the initial preparation of a list of finishing materials, which must not only be in harmony with the interior style, but also meet all the necessary safety standards and rules. Technical characteristics and interior should be the main guidelines in the selection of furniture, special equipment, lighting fixtures. Carrying out the repair of a beauty salon requires an appropriate set of documents.

    The detailed design is made up of diagrams and drawings intended for repair and construction companies and institutions exercising control. The approved design project is the basis for drawing up a working draft and drawing up an estimate. Drawings of the working project become the basis for translating ideas into reality. A list of finishing materials and equipment must also be attached to the project. Without a properly drawn up working draft, it will be very difficult for the owner of a beauty salon to obtain documents for permission to operate in the relevant organizations.

    Whether you are designing a new business in the beauty industry or are renovating and modernizing an existing salon, in any case, all work must be carried out in strict accordance with the sanitary rules established by law.

    A new beauty salon can start its work only after its owner receives permission from the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service in the form of a FEZ conclusion. That’s what a working project is for. It also contains information about the planned manipulations, taking into account all the changes made.

    The joint work of the architect and designer on the creation of projects minimizes the risk that, when the enterprise is fully prepared, for some reason it is not possible to obtain permission for full-fledged activity.

    The project company must be licensed.

    Style and design in the interior of the beauty salon

    The style solution in the interior design of the beauty salon can become not only beautiful, but also functional, and also be a noticeable element, the hallmark of the institution. Given the style, it is worth choosing lighting fixtures, suitable furniture.

    Very often you want to combine showiness and originality with inexpensive interior design, in this case custom-made furniture often helps. Made according to the drawings of the designer, such furniture will always be a cheaper alternative and a spectacular design solution.

    The role of light in the interior design of the salon

    If you want to order the design of a beauty salon, special attention should be paid to lighting, because in a beauty salon it is often the lighting that can decide the fate of a hairstyle, makeup or manicure. Of course, creating design of a beauty salon in Moscow and MO , it is very important to take into account the need for daylight. At the same time, due to the specifics of the work in the institution, it becomes necessary to use fluorescent lamps. In order not to spoil the result of makeup or painting, it is important to choose the right color and light. If we talk about other areas, combined lighting is more often used there – these are spas, manicure rooms, etc. In such establishments, the choice of lighting is one of the priorities, because both the mood of customers and the quality of work, plus the health of employees, depend on it.

    Economy class beauty salon designs

    Designers with experience say that designing a beauty salon according to a concept and a certain style does not mean that you need a lot of money. With today’s variety of materials for interior decoration, the existing fresh and bold approaches to design, it is absolutely not worth spending a lot of money on interior repairs.

    It is quite possible to carry out a design project for the interior design of an economy class beauty salon by purchasing materials at affordable prices. One thing to remember is that it is necessary to select wear-resistant finishing materials made from safe substances. For example, when choosing a floor covering, it is necessary to study the features of the surface, and it is not advisable to lay tiles with a glossy finish in the salon, as they are slippery. Give preference to the latest, easy-to-use tiles. An excellent solution to the problem can be a coating of polymer bulk materials. It is seamless, inexpensive, easy to sweep and wash. In addition, the gloss will shine and visually increase the size of the room. As for the walls, they also need to be approached practically. The best way is to use water-based paint and, as an option, sticking washable wallpaper.

    Since we consider treatments in the salon to have an effective therapeutic effect on women, the main thing is to make the right decision on the color palette. After all, the mood of a woman and the state of her health most of all depend on the choice of color. In addition, the choice of color is an especially important part of the formation of a unique and, at the same time, quite iconic style, which will become the hallmark of your establishment. For acceptable color reproduction, it is very important to provide a sufficient level of illumination. Understanding designers can tell you where you can save on budget costs, and where it is better to spend money so as not to lose customers. So the placement of high-quality lighting fixtures in the salon is the main step towards creating a high rating of the salon among visitors.

    Design of small beauty salons: photo

    We are convinced that the design of a beauty salon of a small area can become fashionable, comfortable, impressive, even if it is renovated in an economical way.

    What materials to use in repairs

    There are no definite boundaries in the use of finishing materials in a room, but when choosing materials, several positions must be taken into account. For flooring, it is necessary to adhere to the requirements for wear resistance and safety. In addition, the floor on the surface must remain smooth, seamless, in order to prevent the accumulation of dirt and individual hairs.

    Laminate, parquet, linoleum or polymer coating should be chosen for individual cabinets.

    Today, carpets are in fashion, which can be used in the arrangement of the reception, as well as waiting rooms. It’s great if the flooring has a glossy sheen, which will make it possible to visually expand the size of the room.

    Glossy floor tiles can visually expand the workspace.

    Wood, plastic, human-made porcelain stoneware, natural stone, glass can be used for wall decoration. Preference for one or another material can be given, taking into account the characteristics of the corporate identity and the availability of financial resources.

    How to arrange furniture in a beauty salon

    1. The design of the administrator’s workplace is made of different finishing materials (metal, plastic, wood and glass). It is possible to install external or internal illumination. The most important thing is that it stands out against the general background of the cabin, has a pleasant, inviting look.

    2. Hall. So that customers can relax, you need to place comfortable upholstered furniture here: chic sofas, rocking chairs, as well as soft corners. It is possible to place pillows, which can be in the form of different shapes, soft and even in the form of rollers. To create a cozy and comfortable hall, it is necessary to abandon the mediocre selection of color shades in the design. And in the hall you need low coffee tables with rounded corners. Since only workplaces are separated in the beauty salon, the hall and the administrator’s place can be visually separated by decorative screens or ordered shelving, and fresh flowers can also be placed.

    3. Showcases in a beauty salon are a must. It is necessary to place lamps on them for illumination, and next to lay out catalogs of services. Showcases can become not only a decoration of the salon environment, but also open to your customers all directions in the work of the salon.

    4. Hairdresser’s chair, make-up artist’s mirror must be made in a certain style, and, of course, conveniently located for salon employees, as well as for clients. It is necessary to choose a mirror in width and height such that the visitor sees his reflection in it.

    5. It is best to equip the furniture in the manicure parlor with drawers that slide out, and also to fit another table on the side.

    6. The chair for hairdressing sinks must always be provided with a safe height adjustment device.

    7. Accessories – picturesque landscapes, artificial flowers, a mysterious panel with lighting. Transparent window panes, glass doors in cabinets and large showcases are recommended to be illuminated with lighting made of glass of different shades.

    8. Compositions of natural flowers and dried flowers will definitely become an unsurpassed decoration of the interior of a beauty salon.
