Need Some Log Home Ideas?
Looking for come cool new log home ideas to incorporate into your current or future log home? With the rise in popularity of log homes recently, many new design and construction techniques have begun to surface which really show off the many great attributes of a beautiful log home.
Some great log home ideas:
* Contrast is good. If you have a dark wood home, contrasting it with light wood or even brushed aluminum is a great way to accent the room in a contemporary, upbeat way. Just be sure that you dont overdo it, as that will begin to clash and look tacky.
* Angled is good. Many log homes are still raised square designs, and though they are both functional and good looking, newer designs are starting to branch away from the tried and true square plans. Many log homes are beginning to take on a similar shape and design to a traditional home, with a long, sweeping bungalow shape becoming a predominant theme.
* Log home outside, drywall inside. There are few things that match a log home in terms of beauty and aesthetics, but there comes a point when enough is enough. Drywall is easier to paint, change, and maintain. Have drywall in areas, such as bedrooms or hallways, which wont necessarily show off the log construction. Leave the logs to the main room, kitchen, and exterior- they can show off their stuff without demanding a compromise.
