Ways to give your log cabins a more natural appearance

Many people who own log cabins prefer a more rustic look on both the inside and outside. 

There are several ways of achieving this image, and many of these are quick and easy methods that most people can implement themselves.

Internally, ensuring the ceilings and walls of your outdoor huts and gazebos look rustic is a simple solution. Keeping the textures of the planks of wood intact rather than sanding them away is one way of keeping your bespoke log cabins naturally attractive.

Hard wood floors inside your garden cabin room provide a pleasing and naturally finished look, as well as being durable and tough. Groove-wood panels placed horizontally to create the interior walls offer a homely and pastoral look. Avoiding over-finishing the wood both inside and out will provide the sense of simplicity desired.

Immediately outside the bespoke log cabins, it is important to landscape the area appropriately. Planting crops of vegetables and herbs as well as other local plant life and shrubs could make your structure feel like a green, environmentally friendly retreat.

Building a stone or cobbled pathway leading to the log cabin will set the scene of a rustic and natural retreat. Adding extras to the outside space, such as wooden benches and pergolas, will also contribute to the sense of an oasis of peace and calmness that is wholesome and instinctive.
