Home Builder Jacksonville | 7 Fantastic Takes on Decorating a Rustic Getaway

 

Home Builder Jacksonville | “If you’re one of those lucky folks who owns a vacation home nestled in the woods or just steps from the beach, maybe you’ve thought of decorating your place with seashells or pinecones, or some other nod to its location.

The book features cabin interiors that make clever use of these notoriously “cozy” (aka cramped) spaces and perfectly complement the natural environment around them. Learn from these creative homeowners how you can take vacation-home decor to the next level.

 

Don’t distract from the main attraction

The best part of a cabin retreat, of course, is the incredible view out your window. And the best way to enhance that scenery is to just get out of the way: Keep curtains, blinds, and other indoor furnishings to a minimum to avoid obstructing your sight line to the beauty outdoors.

Draw your color palette from Mother Nature

To strengthen the connection between your interior and al fresco attractions, take your decor cues from Mother Nature. For instance, go for colors you see outside, like a sand-colored couch, or chandeliers reminiscent of tree branches, or floral-printed rugs.

Add a pot-bellied stove

Nothing looks cuter in a cabin than a pot-bellied metal stove. There’s no need to hide this precious item in a corner; it can go anywhere the flue can run up and out. So go ahead and make it the center of attention, since it adds the bonus of heating a home far more efficiently than a traditional fireplace.

Or, try an inset wood stove

Don’t have the room for a pot-bellied stove? You can also get a wood stove that’s inset into the wall; it radiates heat and looks more like a fireplace (only without as much mess).

Install banquettes for seating and storage

Since cabins are often short on space, you’ll want to make the most of the room you’ve got. Banquettes not only offer a place to sit, but storage underneath, a cozy reading alcove, and (if they’re big enough) even a guest bed, in a pinch.

Make the most of vertical space

To take full advantage of the wall space you have, get cabinets that stretch all the way to the ceiling. That way you’ll curb clutter from entering the airy, open parts of your home.

Use sliding panels to separate rooms

Since your need for space and privacy may vary based on how many guests are crashing in your cabin, sliding panels allow for a more flexible use of space. - Realtor
