Organic Modern Cabin Bedroom
A cabin is the perfect place to use upcycled natural materials (like those beautiful mounted antlers) or repurposed items. In this bedroom from @elements_cabin, a refinished door serves as as a clever DIY headboard. We also love the balance of textures displayed in the bedding, modern sconces and wall paneling.

Unique Cabin Lighting
Inspired lighting transforms this bedroom from @true.north.cabin into a magical hideaway. The lights were originally part of a multi-cord fixture meant to wrap around a single beam. Instead, the owners separated the cords and hung them from multiple locations to great effect. Lighting sources from the ceiling and bedside lamps create an all-over warm and inviting vibe.

Cheerful Cabin Bedroom
Although simple and neutral are often the go-to choices in cabin décor, don’t be afraid of color or pattern! The geometric rug and fun orange curtains inject a playful energy into this bedroom at @willowsedgecabin. The macrame wall hanging is another beautiful choice, layering soft texture on top of the wood walls.

FAQ
What exactly is “rustic” decoration?
Rustic décor is an aesthetic that typically uses naturally sourced materials such as wood and stone. The colors tend to be neutral shades of beige, white and brown and give a more of a monochromatic feel. Some examples of rustic décor include unfinished, exposed reclaimed wood beams added to walls or ceilings, stone fire places and surfaces, reclaimed wood floors and rugged textures throughout the home. Furniture tends to be simple and functional and decor can be handcrafted. Rustic style can be both traditional and modern or a mix of both.
How can I make a small cabin feel bigger?
To make a small cabin feel bigger, opt for lighter colors and neutral tones throughout. Minimizing clutter and using multifunctional furniture with storage such as ottomans or shelves can help free up some space. Keep window treatments light to let in as much light as possible to give the illusion of a lighter space. Keep the décor simple to avoid a cluttered look.
