Cosy Cabin Interiors

If you are looking for the perfect winter interior then think of cosy woodland cabins and snug rustic chalets that create a warm and welcoming ambiance that is stylish and timeless. The combination of natural fabrics and materials and rich and cosy colour tones create the perfect cabin style design that works perfectly in both modern and traditional homes.

Fabrics and soft furnishings are a great way of creating texture and colour in a cabin style interior and can be mixed and matched to create layers of enveloping warmth and pattern. Upholster sofas and chairs in classic tartan and gingham patterns in warming red and orange, crisp white and blue or soft dove grey and pewter for a classic look that is timeless and inviting. Add a selection of faux fur or chunky knitted cushions in co-ordinating colours that add visual depth to your room and provide a practical space to curl up and relax on the cold winter evenings. Add curtains in matching patterns and materials and include a large faux fur rug in crisp white or grey for an alpine inspired design or faux fox fur for a cosy woodland inspired look.

Opt for colour schemes that reflect the nature of the outdoor landscapes or the crisp and frosty winter climate. White and soft grey look wonderful with glacial blue, fern green and mulberry tones to create an alpine look that is fresh yet cosy. For a more traditional cabin style design then opt for rich cream and beige tones that can be accented with burgundy, navy and deep chocolate hues for a highland inspired interior design. Where possible include exposed stone walls or wooden cladding and beams or for a shortcut use wood panel print wallpaper or a woodland mural to create cosiness within your chosen space. If you prefer a more modern take on a classic cabin look then display some stag -head wallpaper on a main feature wall or fireplace for a unique and eye-catching finish.

When choosing furniture for your cabin inspired home, there are two distinct looks that can be selected to suit the style of your home. If you have a smaller home or wish to create a bright and illuminating space then opt for some white painted furniture with slight distressing for a rustic yet feminine look with a hint of alpine elegance. For a more traditional and cosy feel then select some cream painted furniture items that will create a light yet rich finish against a tonal red or green backdrop. A truly rustic cabin look can be achieved with some chunky oak furniture featuring farmhouse style handles and hand carved edges to create the look and feel of the outdoors inside the home.

Accessories create the all important finishing touches in any home and a cabin interior should feature a selection of functional and decorative accessories that represent the beauty and elegance of nature. Opt for lots of wooden ornamentation that will accentuate the cosy choice of colour scheme.  Rustic bark and oak candle holders and storage chests will look fabulous in a living room or bedroom interior. Crisp white and grey ceramics will create illumination in a soft grey or white interior space while silver or gold items can be used to create a pop of elegance and glamour to your room. Select items such as rustic mirrors and photo frames, modern or traditional stag heads and tartan print lamps and antler style ceiling lights for a cosy yet striking interior look.
