HOW TO DESIGN A

RUSTIC CABIN

BEDROOM

Escaping to the great outdoors can

rejuvenate your mind and indulge your senses.

Let’s make that a part of your everyday life.

All you need is a little inspiration.

On the following pages, we are going to explore the 7 ways you can bring your bedroom to life with a rustic cabin theme.

These tips will help you create the bedroom of your dreams without breaking your budget.

Rustic cabins maintain their cozy, outdoorsy feel by focusing on earthy, nature-inspired materials. No matter what piece of furniture or accessory you are adding to the space, keep these things in mind:

➢ Wood should look natural and raw. Pieces with bark, knots, and carvings will give the wood more character.

➢ Metals can be distressed and textured. Mix and match different colors to keep your space looking rustic.

THE

MATERIALS

When designing a room to feel like the great outdoors choose

colors that are taken directly from the forests and mountains.

Soft, natural colors will reinforce your theme.

THE

COLORS

➢ Brown

➢ Beige

➢ Sage

➢ Rust red

➢ Robin’s egg blue

➢ Evergreen

Your bed is the biggest piece of furniture in your room; it serves as the main focal point and is a great place to start your design.

THE BED

For bedding, choose a complete coordinated set to make the look feel cohesive and to save money. Layering pillows and using contrasting colors, like red and green, are staples of the cabin feel.

THE

FURNITURE

When choosing additional furniture, there are two schools of thought: matching or mixing-and-matching. While using pieces from the same set will keep your design clean and uniform, rooms using pieces from many sets with different types of wood and designs allows you to show off more personality.

TOUCHES
