Lodge Cabin Bathroom Decor

Candles add ambiance to any small room.


Whether the bathroom you're decorating is in a cabin in the woods or in a suburban home that you hope will feel like it's located in the wild, the idea behind cabin-style decor is to bring the great outdoors in.


Colors


Earth tones are the color of choice for a cabin bathroom. Greens, tans and earthy browns all blend well to create an outdoor atmosphere. You can incorporate these colors in the towels, area rug, shower curtain and accessories.


Your Design Style


If you're a hunter, consider framing an antique ad for guns and hanging it on the wall. A duck decoy sitting on the tank of the toilet can add a bit of whimsy to the room. A small canoe hung on the wall is the perfect place to store your grooming supplies.


Extras


Candles add ambiance to any room. Choose a candle that will add color and fragrance to your space. Consider a light switch cover that coordinates with the rest of the room, and look at the array of vanity lights that are on the market, as there is sure to be one that complements the space.


Caution


You're likely dealing with a small space when decorating a bathroom, so go easy on the number of accessories. The idea is to use a few pieces with impact, rather than crowding the room to the point where it's no longer functional.
