Characteristics

• Take your decorating cues from what's outside the cabin.Cabin in woods image by Len Scap from Fotolia.com
  
  Cabins can be many different styles, from a fine chalet to a small peeled log cabin. So too can the furnishings be as different as you want them to be. The overriding characteristic for any choice of decor is that it is attuned to what's going on outside the door of the house. Mix in a lot of natural elements from the outdoors to create visual interest and to tie in the surroundings. Most cabins are built to take advantage of a view, or to blend in to the scenery, so take your cue from what's outside when decorating your home.
  
  

Accessories

  Finish off your look with accessories. Add more texture to the room with braided rugs and colorful throw pillows and blankets. Replace a standard switch plate with a hammered iron one in the shape of a bear. There are many websites that offer rustic furniture, but don't be bound by manufactured items. Create your own by filling up a glass jar with stones from your property, or bring wildflowers into the house.
