Decorating Log Cabin Homes
Just around a few months ago, you searched the Net to look for log cabin homes for sale. After a tedious search, you finally spotted a design that suits your preference and budget. You have made arrangements with the supplier, signed a contract, and did the requirements. You can’t wait to move in; the cabin is ready for occupancy.
But wait! After seeing the empty interior, you haven’t got a clue on how to decorate the cheap log cabin so that it would have a rustic, country, and relaxing feel. No need to worry. Here are some ideas.
1. Furniture
Your furniture should be made of wood. Try to check out beds that are carved or made from logs; they go very well with your wooden home. Wooden chairs, accent tables, and cabinets are perfect pieces that contribute to a countryside atmosphere. If you want to break the monotony of wood, you can include wrought iron pieces such as coat racks, magazine stands, and corner shelves.
2. Lighting
Create a natural, charming, and classic atmosphere with the correct use of lighting. Place wrought iron chandeliers with faux electric candles to produce a pioneer look. Metal or glass lanterns or shades on side tables or the fireplace mantel bathe the room a subtle, warm glow. For decorative light, buy dainty punched tin lanterns or small tea lights.
3. Rugs
Try out southwestern-style hand-woven rugs that are darkly colored. Alternatively, you can use braided rugs. If you want to have that “hunter” atmosphere, check out specialty rug stores for animal rugs, those cool ones that you see on movies where a fake animal head such as a deer, bear, or rabbit decorates the mat.
4. Curtains, bed sheets, and other fabric
Gingham and chequered fabrics are perfect for getting that country feeling. Tie back those curtains with star or heart-shaped back brackets. For your tablecloth, it is best to use table runners instead of cloth; guests can see that nice wood grain through the runners.
5. Accessories
Place on the center table big clay crocks that hold dried herbs or flowers. Place vintage plates and serving dishes in glass cabinets. Affix vintage fishing poles, paddles, buckets, and lures on the walls. Place log stumps, stuffed toys, throw pillows, or even oddly shaped stones near the main main entrance.
