Cabin Decorating Ideas

Decorating a rustic cabin can be a fun and rewarding experience. Cabins are places to put your feet up and relax. Your getaway should reflect that feeling. A good way to do this is to select items that you won't have to worry about getting banged up. Antiques offer a great look and have already taken years of use and abuse. Searching through antique stores is a great activity for a rainy day, and may turn into a fun hobby while on weekend getaways.

Many cabins have either log interiors, post & beam construction or feature tongue and groove pine paneling. This leaves a beautiful rich feel, but may leave you yearning to add color. Cabin style wall decor takes care of this nicely. Vintage cabin signs use vibrant colors on wood or metal and feature cabin and woods scenes and or images of animals such as bear and moose. Reproduction signs can be personalized to allow you to add your family, cabin, lake or town name and make it your own. Paintings, prints and art can often be found in nearby shops by local artists.But anyway, getting back to the French furniture theme, if you're looking at adding to or completing a French inspired room, whether a living room, bedroom, study or conservatory, a chaise longue is one of the pieces of furniture which seems to span two categories of furniture in one go.It's easy to have a visual image of a chaise longue all white and gold and swirly, and such a truly beautiful piece of furniture is guaranteed to complement any classically decorated room.But for a room that's tipping the hat (or beret) towards French inspired design, a chaise longue is one of the best ways of completing the puzzle. You may have purchased French mirrors, chairs, chandeliers, armoires and so forth, and whilst all of these represent a beautiful and elegant look, it is often the chaise longue which turns a look or a style into a truly identifiable theme.But be warned, because many people have purchased a chaise longue for appearances, only to discover just how temptingly comfortable and convenient it is, spending far longer than they intended reclined in luxury reading a favourite book rather than doing the ironing or vacuuming.Hotels amid Gardens in Green of London

Finding just the right item to use in your cabin retreat is often an ongoing effort, so enjoy it and congratulations on your recent purchase, renovation or re-decorating.
