Log Cabin Exterior Color Schemes That Wow
To begin, we’ll take a closer look at some of the log home exterior color schemes that will enhance the natural grain and coloration of commonly used wood for log homes. These log cabin exterior colors are not only aimed at improving the look of your home but also to help protect the wood, such as our Capture Log Home Stain that is available in the colors and combinations that follow.
- Bronze Pine: The subtle Bronze Pine color is a classic among log cabin exterior color schemes. It doesn’t overwhelm the natural grain and imbues the wood finish with a bronze warmth.
- Chestnut: For a darker wood finish, the Chestnut variant helps to create an earthy tone. The wood grain appears darker and deeper, creating a dusky wood grain appeal.
- Hazelnut: Hazelnut is a log cabin color scheme that falls between the Bronze Pine and Chestnut. It is one of the most natural wood colors offering you a more neutral exterior look.
- Natural: The Natural coating is one of the best ways to exemplify the innate beauty of wood. It can serve to bring new life to old or faded wood to bring it back to its former glow while helping to protect it for years to come.
- Red Cedar: Another one of our favorite log home exterior color schemes is our Red Cedar finish. Reminiscent of a warm sunset, the Red Cedar coating is a step above the Bronze Pine in terms of natural color, enhancing the richness of certain types of wood.
- Wheat: For a natural, lighter tone, the Wheat option can be ideal. It helps to enhance the natural grain of the wood while providing a neutral color scheme.

Choosing the Perfect Interior Log Cabin Colors

Whether you prefer the pure, natural look of our Symphony Interior Clear Coat or are eager to infuse more color and vibrancy, the tips listed below will assist you in making the right choice.
Keep it Neutral
Wood is an excellent building material for many reasons including its natural beauty. Keeping it neutral and simply protecting your interior wood is often the best choice and the favorite choice among log cabin homeowners.
Go for Color
Adding some color can be a great way to incorporate your personality into your home. You don’t have to go for full color in every room. Instead, try adding a splash of color with an accent color wall.
Stain the Grains
Many options for cabin colors help to enhance the natural grains of your interior wood. Staining the wood can help to promote different atmospheres and moods within each room. For example, darker stains can bring out a warm, homey feeling while lighter stains can feel more natural and brighter, adding liveliness to a room.
Create Texture
By simply staining the various wood beams in a room, you can create a sense of texture. For instance, staining the beams on a vaulted ceiling a darker color than the surrounding wood creates an eye-catching texture while keeping it natural and neutral.
Interior log cabin colors should match the mood and atmosphere that you would like to create in each room of your home. Need help deciding on cabin colors for your interior? Explore our log cabin models for inspiration!
