Cabins are a rustic-style-loving decorator’s dream home! Defined by warmth and coziness, they offer some exciting interior design possibilities.
By balancing rustic and modern aesthetics, you can keep your cabin bedroom from looking kitschy!
It's tempting for cabin decorators is to introduce as many rustic patterns as possible, but don’t get too ahead of yourself. There’s a fine line between tasteful use of those fun, geometric patterns and the room becoming too campy.
That’s not to say you can’t use them at all. A rustic pattern can look great in a bedspread or a rug, just not both, especially if you stick to the first rule above. We suggest a white and beige patterned comforter.
Another great way to keep your cabin bedroom from looking kitschy is to lean into modern sensibilities instead. Since cabins are rustic by nature, inserting modern decor can offset the cheesy campfire vibes while still keeping it super cozy.
Similar to using patterns, decorate your walls and shelves in moderation. Too many knickknacks in your bedroom can be too on the nose for a cabin. One or two statement pieces around the room will easily do the trick. Some ideas are either a simple flower in a vase or houseplant, a large poster or tapestry, or a cozy chair or small couch that adds a pop of color.
Avoiding clutter in a cabin bedroom is key to making it feel fresh and cozy, rather than drab and kitschy. We all struggle with this on a daily basis, yet there are ways to make sure your belongings don’t detract from the vibe you want for your bedroom.
One solution to clutter is smart storage. There are so many innovative ways to store your stuff. For a cabin bedroom, we suggest hanging some floating cube bookshelves on the wall.
