Cabin farmhouse decor is one of the best styles of rustic home design for use in any rustic style home. This decor is best used in vacation homes, log homes, cabins and other homes that are in the outdoors. The beauty of the rustic look is that this style of interior design is charming and inviting while remaining warm and inviting at the same time. You will have so much fun decorating your cabin or log home with this rustic style. The wonderful thing about this decor is that it looks wonderful inside as well as outside. You will have a rustic look without compromising modern comforts.
Your rustic home decor will begin with the flooring. If you have a cabin in the woods or a log cabin, you are going to want hard wood floors. Pine and cedar are good choices for the floor as well as redwood and hemlock. These hardwoods will bring out the rustic look while still being very comfortable for walking on and off of.
Next up is the cabinetry. You can choose a combination of modern and rustic cabinetry to create your cabin style look. There is nothing better than a wicker or rattan cabinetry bench. You can also find beautiful wooden bookcases that have a country look to them. Place them on your bookshelves for a great look that ties together the different decorating themes you are using throughout the room.
You can bring the look of the woods into your home with rustic lamps with wood shades. These can be found in just about every size, shape and color you can imagine. Try looking at some of the colorful lamp shades because you will love how they will tie in with the colors you have chosen for your decor. The type of wood you have on your lighting fixtures is also very important when you are decorating your home in a cabin theme. Look for those that are made of cedar, pine or other sturdy and durable woods.
If you have a large home with multiple rooms and you want the feeling of a cabin in the woods, think about how you can make your main room your cabin. For example, if you have a media room you can make the room feel like a cabin by putting a floor to ceiling bookcases and lots of wall space in front of the television. You can choose an antique style television stand so it is the focal point of the room. You can put a comfortable chair, coffee table and end tables in this room to complete your cabin style decorating. Add some cabin lighting and you will have all the lighting you need to make your home look amazing.
For more of a natural look, you can create a log cabin look in your back yard. This will make your home look more authentic and give you the chance to sit on your porch and enjoy nature. It also gives you the opportunity to host some outdoor events in your back yard.
Adding window coverings and furniture pieces that have a cottage style to them will complete your cabin style decorating. Look for chairs and tables that have curved backs and seating, wood paneling and rustic lamps that have candles on them. Make sure your colors match your home’s decor so that your home looks inviting.
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, you can turn your backyard into a natural cabin with some tasteful cabin furnishings and accessories. You can set up a small table and chairs with wooden tables and use wood shingles on your walls to give your backyard the look of being outside. Look for a shade for your lamp shades to be wood or cork covered. Add an old worn rug or a pile of rugs on the floor under your table to complete the look of a cabin.
