Decorating Ideas for a Mountain Cabin
- 1). Pick rugged, chunky or oversize furniture for your mountain cabin. Look for furniture that is overstuffed or low to the floor. Natural materials such as wood, rattan or wicker work well in this type of home.
- 2). Decorate with fabrics that are checkered, plaid or have bold abstract designs or outdoor scenes on them. Make sure you choose fabrics that are durable and won't show stains easily. This makes it uncomplicated to entertain guests for long weekends or holiday visits.
- 3). Utilize warm, earth tones in your upholstery and draperies in the room, such as rust, gold, green and taupe. If you want to use lighter, cool colors, such as baby blue, off-white and pale yellows, purchase fabrics with a vintage or shabby-chic look, such as an old quilt pattern or country scene.
- 4). Pick out decor that matches your theme. For instance, for a Southwestern appeal, utilize Navajo blankets and throws, pictures with cowboys, Native American pottery, lamps with metallic touches and bold prints in your area rugs.
- 5). Incorporate antlers into your decoration or pictures or sculptures of deer, elk, moose, fish or other wildlife in your area. If your family enjoys riding horses in the mountains, utilize lariat ropes, horseshoes and cowboy gear in your decor.
- 6). Install flooring that is simple to care for, such as hardwood or vinyl floors. Use braided or rag rugs to accentuate the casual atmosphere in the home.
