Decorating Your Log Home Interior

If you opted to have the interior walls of your log home drywall free, with the actual logs exposed, you will have many different decorative opportunities than if you had used drywall. Leaving the logs exposed is a great way to enhance the natural beauty of your home, as well as appear warm and inviting, but only if you decorate in such a way that facilitates that.

Try some of the following suggestions:

* Match your furniture to the wood. If you have dark wood, or have the walls stained a dark color, having dark wood furniture may make the room appear drab and boring, if not depressing and dark. Try incorporating furniture that contrasts with the wood enough to show a lively, uplifting atmosphere.

* Don’t go country home unless you want to. Many people feel obligated to decorate in a country theme, even if it goes against the personal style or preference. Just because you live in a log home doesn’t mean you have to have everything western themed.

* Let the wood do most of the talking. Log homes are popular for their ability to showoff the natural beauty of the wood. Don’t try to cover that up. Instead, accent the wood with your furniture and decorative selections, allowing the wood to do all of the talking, per say. After all, that is why you bought the home.
