By exchanging the outdated with the new you can spruce up a cabin interior. Some items, you may already have, can certainly enhance some modern touches and improvements. Updating cabin décor is more than a swap out. It’s an adventure in recreating your space to allow for an ambiance fitting for a cabin. Check out these design tips that will really make your updated cabin décor the highlight of the room.
1- Update Textures and Colors
2- Swap out outdated elements
3- Choose Charming and unique décor
1-UPDATE TEXTURES AND COLORS
You can choose to upgrade your décor alone, but many folks have found that it’s best to add or eliminate interior design elements as well. If you want to hop right into the swap out of décor move to step 2. I bring this topic of textures and colors to you because if you have a pink and purple area rug and add unique rustic décor to it, the clash would be wild…and not in a good way. This process of a cabin update involves choosing unique textures to incorporate into your vision of change for instance, a warm cabin interior can be upgraded with stone work, leather, and even cowhide. When you think of a cabin interior, what colors come to mind? The typical rustic charm of a modern lodge and cabin contains earth tones as well as some dark reds. You will notice some of my rustic décor is designed with dark green moss. This is a gorgeous way to incorporate color into the wood, the stones, the black and white of leather and cowhides. As for textures, your choice of throw blankets and decorative pillows do matter. These can really set the tone for the whole room.
Notice the use of dark green in the rustic twig clock. (More photos on my website)
2-SWAP OUT OUTDATED ELEMENTS
The idea of swapping out the old for the new is a very familiar pattern I have applied to every aspect of my life. In this, I am able to embrace growth and create a reality that supports who I am. No matter the reason for your desire to update your cabin décor, it’s a change worth embracing. To determine where to start, we can analyze what you need. Some old things are timeless. Old wood floors, for example, are a rustic feature of a cabin that can be restored to a new look vs covering them. Ditch out any colors that don’t fit in the color schemes of earth tones and the rusty reds you’ll often find in cabin rugs. Anything plastic is something you’ll want to consider replacing or removing. If you are attached to it, I can update it for you with my rustic creativity. Check out this before and after clock I designed for a client who was updating her cabin décor. Be sure to follow me on social media to see this clients other orders. They are being designed to go with this clock and the switch plates below.
3-CHOOSE CHARMING AND UNIQUE DÉCOR
Now is the fun part! Select your favorite décor from my website and start decorating. Not only is my art one of a kind, it’s also timeless and incorporates all the right colors and textures. Interesting features, that set my décor above the rest, is the hidden hardware, intricate detailing and the use of non-toxic varnish. Over the years, I have noticed that the plant based exterior varnish I use does not yellow the white birch bark like poly alternatives. A great way to upgrade an interior is by supporting an artisan and removing the China made goods for one-of-a-kind art statements. Nothing says 2001 like mass produced décor you bought while the money was tight. If your budget is still tight, understand you are worthy of great things and there’s a way to get these without breaking the bank. One way is by subscribing to my monthly emails. You will get a welcome email with 15% off your first order. Another way is by using PayPal to make your purchase. They oftentimes will give you a 0 Apr period on purchases over $100! We get to use debt to our advantage. Afterall, debt is tax free haha. Switch plates are also a fabulous way to get started, no matter what budget you are working with. These can be designed specifically to match for you! You will be the only person with your specific collection of switch plates. One of my clients joyfully swapped out her old and simple switch plates for new and improved ones made by me. Here is what she said about it.
