Selecting Cabin Decor

There are few places that we cherish as much as the cabin. For many, a trip to the cabin is not simply a vacation, or a place to go fishing, it is a ritual. Tales of the cabin and the escapades that occurred there are told for decades, and nearly every memory of the cabin is littered with happy thoughts and fond sights and sounds.

Of course, a cabin is only a cabin if you can make it your second home. How do you make something a second home without the proper furniture to put in it? A cabin is all about the decor, and that decor cannot be like anything you have in your suburban home. Your decor in a cabin must be rustic and wild, you must think of things you may not put in your home as being perfect for the cabin like pine cones. Most of all, the cabin must be your wilderness escape, so let the items that go into it reflect that for you.

Wildlife art is at home in any cabin and can prove to be a welcome piece for the living room, den, bedrooms and even the bathroom. Choose items that reflect where you are. A lion painting has no place in a cabin of the Pacific Northwest, but a black bear painting does. If your place has woods nearby, relaxing majestic pine trees would look great.

The bathroom should reflect the wilderness you are enjoying, and do not be afraid to have moose, bears, deer, and even squirrel woodworking, towels and paintings dotting the bathroom of your cabin.

Cabins are generally what color? That is right, brown. So, you are going to want to choose colors for it that reflect that. You are not going to have pink or yellow in a cabin, but you will have dark red, green, and brown. As a result, when you are looking at rugs, curtains and towels, make sure they reflect those colors and themes. Do not be afraid to have a shower curtain that depicts a wilderness scene. Remember the golden rule of cabin decor; you are in the wilderness, so show it.

Cabins are wonderful places to spend the occasional weekend, but when you are decorating them you need to make sure you go with the wilderness theme that makes every cabin a second home. It does not matter if you would never decorate your own home that way, the cabin is an escape from the urban jungle, and into the jungle of the wild, so let your decorating tastes go wild!
