Transform Your Log Cabin into Something More Than Just an Outdoor Building
Log cabins are one of the most versatile garden buildings that can be turned into almost anything. However, the majority of them lie in backyards with conventional layouts and dull decorations.
If you currently have one that fits the description or plans to install a cabin but don’t want it to be anywhere near a boring space, then these ideas are for you.
We have collected a few of the coolest but easy to simulate inspirations for your next log cabin designing adventure. Giddy up and wear on that belt bag of tools with your to-buy list kit.
1. Rustic Design

One of the best ideas to start off with in transforming a log cabin is applying the rustic setting. In design, simplicity means sophistication. And since log cabins are mostly made with wooden materials, this idea will be the easiest to bear.
“Rustic” designs largely describe everything from farmhouse decor to a Tuscan-style estate. Its monotony brings a granular but strikingly beautiful composition that a lot of modern homes also apply.
The main challenge in coming up with this style is the choice of right furniture and fixtures that will resemble the simplicity and beauty found in the natural, outside world.
In creating this warm and organic aesthetic transformation, you would want to incorporate wood into plenty of your furnishings. Organic textures will also complement the design as well as sturdy fabrics to add up to that sense of warmth and cosiness in your cabin.
2. Vintage Vibe

Vintage will never go out of style. Most modern interior designs still incorporate the vintage vibe in various structures and a log cabin is never an exception.
For avid lovers of sensational connections and patient collectors, this idea is perfect. It applies a worn look around the cabin through the use of corroded steel, aged wooden board and vintage furnishings.
This image is only one example but vintage designs vary on the era that you want to bear resemblance to. Some retro hipster ideas apply strong colours along with carefully selected patterns alluding to the 50s, 60s and 70s.
If you choose to apply this kind of style, don’t forget the general principle in achieving a perfect vintage design: mix together old and new pieces of furniture.
3. Modern Minimalist Concept

Modern interiors often display a more spacious impression inside the cabin. And though there is no rulebook when it comes to modern design, most styles apply sleek materials and clean lines.
In employing this kind of style, you can encompass a wide range of styles as long as you use more novel fixtures and furnishings around the log cabin. You can start off with a minimally-designed matting and tapestry paired with a new-fashioned couch and metal details.
While most provided examples show bedrooms and living room spaces, there is a plethora of work or home purposes you can turn your log cabins into. That minimal space can be maximised into a cosy office space or a luxurious retreat house for relaxation and solitude.
4. Past Meets Present Vibe

If you can’t choose between the vintage and contemporary setting you have in mind, you could have both without sacrificing one with this log cabin set up.
You can turn your log cabin into a concept of past meets present by installing some white or colourful modern equipment with some vintage and traditional displays.
The difference between the vintage vibe and this past meets present is that you incorporate like legit antique and other colourful objects with the latter, rather than having only some gloomy and basic colours.
5. Bare Design

This might be suitable for guys who own a log cabin and do not want to have a lot in their room. This bare design of a log cabin could be perfect for your dream clutter-free space.
You could, of course, barely have a set of furniture and different colours around. Keep it simple and natural with the original colour it has since it was made.
This is also best for someone who has a small log cabin but still wanted to make the most out of it and make it his special relaxation space. Go now and create your new sleek and clean room.
6. Garden but Glossy Look
The garden but glossy look might be your thing if you want your log cabin to look expensive with the shine and nature displays.
In achieving this design, you could use wood paints and tools to let your cabin shine. Add some traditional wooden table set up and cabinets inside. Moreover, do not forget the greens and earthy designs like those birds on the side and make it more with nature. Add an old chandelier also to add some feeling of intimacy and class.
