7 Essential Elements to Creating a Modern Log House
Give your log home that modern edge while still embracing the rustic charm of its natural elements. Explore and experiment with these 7 essential aspects of modern log cabin interior design…
- Stonework – Stonework plus wooden logs equals one GORGEOUS atmosphere. Whether it’s on the kitchen island, fireplace, chimney, or basement, the incorporation of either authentic or veneer stone is a fantastic way to achieve a modern log cabin interior.
- Clean and Simple Lines – No matter what type of space you’re designing for, clean and sleek lines are one of the most important elements of the modern aesthetic. During furniture, fixture, appliance, and décor selections, remember that simplicity is key!
- Modern Fixtures and Finishes – While a modern design can really be communicated through the furniture stylings you choose, fixtures and finishes also have a vital role to play in achieving a contemporary log home. Metals and natural textiles are a stylish way to bring visual interest to a contemporary log home design.
- High Ceilings – All modern log cabin interiors have this one thing in common: high ceilings! This grand and glorious feature does more than just make your space feel bigger, but it also presents the opportunity for more natural light – a modern log house feature we’ll discuss in more detail next.
- Natural Light – Natural light can turn any drab cabin into a modern log house masterpiece! Transform the interior environment of your log home with the simple addition of large windows or several smaller ones!
- Neutral Colors – The hidden secret to accomplishing a satisfying modern log house is using the right color scheme. Modern design is all about cool neutrals with pops of colors so consider incorporating white, black, gray and bold accent hues into your log home.
- Less is More – The greatest modern log cabin designs perfect the balance between having too many and too few decorations. More times than not, showcasing knick-knacks is quick way to date the design of your space. Try to keep not only your furniture, but your fixtures and décor simple, understated, and minimalistic with interesting textures or lines.
