Log Cabin Bathroom Styles

A log cabin theme can give your bathroom an outdoorsy touch.

Whether you own a log cabin and wish to decorate the bathroom or simply would like to bring an outdoorsy feeling to your city home, log cabin bathroom styles can help you achieve the natural look and feeling desired in your bathroom. By creating a log cabin bathroom style in your home, you can make the bathroom a place where you can luxuriate in a long bath while enjoying the sensation of being in the great outdoors.

Log Theme

The simplest way to decorate your bathroom in a log cabin style is to focus on the logs--particularly if you are decorating a bathroom in a real log cabin featuring exposed wood. Highlight the wood by leaving as much of the wall exposed as possible. Install a shower curtain with pictures or drawings of trees or bark on it to create a woodsy ambiance while you are in the shower or bath. Adding plants that thrive in humidity, such as ferns or small trees (try bonsai trees for an exotic and low-maintenance accent), can be the perfect finishing touch to your log-themed bathroom.

Animal Theme

Celebrate the great outdoors in your bathroom by decorating with animal images and accessories, particularly using animal species found in the woods. Search department stores and home decor shops for shower curtains featuring animals such as birds, deer or squirrels, as well as bathmats in the shape of animals (fish are the most common). Framed pictures of pastoral woods scenes featuring animals in their natural habitat can finish the theme.

Eclectic Theme

By combining elements of the two above styles and playing with the addition of different elements, you can create an entirely unique and personalized bathroom. For example, you might consider mounting a stuffed animal head (fake, if you do not hunt) on an empty wall, or featuring antique and unloaded rifles as decoration. Depending on your interests and the uses of your log cabin, you can create a bathroom that captures a rustic look and blends beautifully with the rest of your home.
