Even if you're a nature lover who is most at home in your woodland cabin, there are a few things you have to change in order to keep your space comfortable as fall brings colder weather and shorter days.
We've put together a list of five simple decorating tricks that are sure to make your cabin cozy this autumn season.
1. Focus on the Fireplace
Bring the focus of your living room to your toasty fireplace. With a beautiful arrangement of raw cut wood stacked neatly to the side and a framed print of foliage or a fox pup above the mantel, bring eyes toward the crackling flame. Place chairs facing in toward the hearth and keep a stylish coffee table stocked with puzzles and books to entertain guests as you all sit by the fire.
2. Lighten Up the Wood
Your rustic cabin is sure to have its fair share of furnishings built out of wood. Be sure that the pieces you're using during this time of year are in a light, wood tone to really balance out the low lighting of the autumn days.
3. Use Different Types of Light Fixtures
Speaking of bringing light into the room, contrast that foggy fall atmosphere with a variety of different light fixtures throughout your cabin home. From large boxed chandeliers to tall wood floor lamps, be sure to have many different accents illuminating your home.
4. Soften Your Color Palette
Your woodsy home is probably used to being furnished with dark forest greens and deep navy blues. Though these colors should still have a bit of a presence in your designs, even things out with creams, whites, and light grays. These softer colors will help create that cozy atmosphere you need when snuggling up for the colder days of autumn.
5. Layer Your Rugs
Layering area rugs is not only a chic trend in the world of design - it also adds texture and warmth to your floors. To really create a welcoming feeling in your cabin, choose a material and color scheme that fits in with the rest of your rustic décor. We love the look of a natural jute rug topped with a rustic cowhide or a patterned, southwest inspired rug underneath a luxurious cream-colored shag rug.
Your cabin can be just as accessible in the fall as it is in the winter. Follow these five steps to make sure it's ready for the cooler months and be sure to check out Dot & Bo's Cozy Cabin in Vermont collection to find everything you need.
