How to Create a Beautiful Look in Your New Cabin

[Lizzie Weakley]

There’s nothing quite so lovely as spending a few days in your very own cabin. While the nature and serenity are what make the cabin experience, having a beautified and well-designed space can make your getaways even more relaxing. A rustic look can work if done well, but you never want the space to appear run-down. Remaking and decorating your cabin is similar to carrying out the same project in a normal house, but there are certainly a few key differences. Here’s what you should keep in mind as you give your new cabin the ideal aesthetic.

Natural Stone Tiles

Enjoying the great outdoors is one of the best aspects of visiting a cabin. To make the most of the space and really take in the fresh air, you’ll want some sort of patio that makes sitting outside more comfortable. Anything obviously man-made could look cheesy in such a natural setting, but natural stone tiles will provide just the vibe you’re looking for.

Paint Your Cabin an Understated Color

Painting a cabin protects the exterior materials and keeps the appearance fresh. When choosing a color, remember that you need the structure to blend in with its surroundings. Some shade of brown is usually ideal, especially if your cabin is in a heavily wooded area.

Decorate With Artwork That Showcases the Local Environment

Bare walls are never a good look, even in a rustic cabin. In order to decorate your cabin’s interior, look for paintings or photographs that gel with the natural landscape. Make sure you choose an appropriate theme. Certain types of art (think Andy Warhol) might be great in a city apartment but don’t fit the cabin aura.

Pick up Some Wood Carvings

More than any other type of art, carvings fit the general feel of a cabin. If you keep your eyes open in local business, you can probably pick up some affordable pieces that will look great on a coffee table or window sill.

Frame and Hang a Local Topographical Map

Nothing fits on a cabin wall like a local topographical map. Not only will it serve as a nice decoration, but you can also use it to become familiar with every hill and valley in the area.

To get the most out of your cabin, you’ll want it to look just as good as the nature that surrounds it. Consider these techniques to maximize the beauty of the

space.
