Rustic interiors can be itchy and scratchy but my take on modern cabin decor is far from that old school “roughing it” way of life. Naturally, Country Living Magazine has some great snaps of cabin-inspired interiors that will make you want to don snow shows and curl up with a Laura Ingalls-Wilder book. Additionally, The Adventures of Tartan Scot is another great source for similar pictures. The romance of cabin living can be achieved even if you don’t live on acres of land or have timber walls.
The heart of any home is the kitchen, and so too is that with a cozy cabin. Remember to include cast iron cookery and well-worn linen towels. Dining spaces can look chic with twig-back chairs and much wood. Placing round wall mirrors with high style on dining room walls will reflect warm candle light or chandelier light that look amazing when in the antler style.
Cabin style bedroom and bathrooms should also reflect a similar aesthetic. No need to install an outhouse...I hope. Warm woods and country details can enhance table tops and bathroom vanities. Classic wall sconces in bronze or with Edison bulbs will lend an air of authenticity to the spaces and add much needed light. Remember, not everything needs to be literal, but the theme should be consistent.
