Style
-
Cabin decor finds its foundation in the simple life lived a hundred years ago when decorating meant using what was on hand. Decorative items like handmade quilts, painted watering cans, and mismatched dishes on a table set with a hand-embroidered cloth have their place in this home. These items do double duty in cabin-style living.
Colors
-
The color schemes found predominantly in cabins are inspired by the colors found in the natural world. Browns, grays, greens, blues, reds, golden yellows and orange fit well in this rustic home.
-
Textures
-
The textures in cabin decorating run on the rough side. Think wool, leather, unfinished wood and stone.
Shutters
-
Shutters in a cabin would most certainly echo the rustic charm found throughout the cabin. Distressed wood and chipped paint wouldn't be out of the ordinary, although shutters without paint might also be common. Additionally, decorative elements like stenciling could be added to reflect the folksy style of the house.
