Sofas, dining tables and chairs, and end tables used to represent the meaning of log furniture exclusively. This is no longer the case. Other unique log furniture pieces include cabin beds, bathroom vanities, entertainment furniture, and pet accessories as well. Bringing fun outdoor furniture pieces into existing or new decors can add a splash of inspiration to one's living experience.
No Longer The Cabin Beds Of Days Gone By
Metal Frame Daybeds
There are a variety of cabin beds to choose from that are built from woods such as pine, aspen, cedar, red cedar, barn wood, and hickory. One can even find cabin beds that blend the elements of wrought iron into a log headboard and footboard to create a warm yet contemporary look. Cabin beds come in a variety of sizes that range from twin to California king and include finish choices such as clear finish, no finish (natural wood), or a light honey color.
Cabin beds also come in many different forms that include the classic log bed with a 4-poster bed frame and a rustic appeal, a solid wood bed frame with a headboard that has extra room for books, a creamy white low-profile bed with a lower height footboard, and a log-high poster bed that is a step up from the classic look due to its extra high legs. Other unique styles of beds include day, bunk, canopy, and futon. If extra character is what one is looking for, perhaps cabin beds made from twisted logs or logs that bear the scars associated with survival in a natural environment is desirable. No matter the choice, all cabin beds have individual characteristics, so no two will look alike.
When replacing an old bed with a new log bed, you can include one for a pet as well. These cabin beds are made from selected hardwoods and are designed to complement emerging or existing decors. As with their human counterparts, pet log beds come in many styles, including an Adirondack dog bed made from untreated northern white cedar and a cottage dog bed that resembles a human daybed. Other pet accessories include exercise wheels for cats, hickory kennel tables, a rustic bird feeder, and a rustic pet feeder made from dead-standing lodge pole pine, which is designed to accommodate two aluminum food pans for a dog or cat.
Fun Log Furniture
Game rooms and bars are great places to include log furniture when redecorating one's home with a rustic flare. Fun accents for game rooms are items such as a solid wood billiard tables with rustic wood accents, foosball tables made from solid pine, and solid wood dartboards prepared from your choice of knotty, ponderosa, and eastern white pine. If one is interested in providing a comfortable bar area for their friends and family, begin with a log bar made from cedar, pine, or aspen, which includes storage for wine and liquor, shakers, stirrers, and glassware. Adding stools and pub tables will complete the game room and bar area and provide years of memories for your loved ones and you.
Bathrooms That Include Rustic Motifs
The term 'rustic bathroom' may conjure up visions of cold outhouses on long winter nights; however, rustic bathrooms have moved into the modern era by integrating the homey comfort of logs into modern conveniences such as bathroom vanities that boast copper accessories like sinks and water faucets. As with the other types of log furniture, the bathroom vanity comes in a range of styles, from simple to detailed and from plain country charm to contemporary. The variety does not stop there. Wood choices range from the delicate, pale complexion of northern white cedar to the harshness of hickory with the bark intact.
Other accessories that bring the outdoor spirit into modern bathrooms are beautiful log mirrors, attractive toilet paper holders, towel bars and hangers, rustic looking shower curtains, and country themed towel sets. Other added touches such as soap dishes, lotion pumps, tumblers, tissue box covers, waste paper baskets, and toothbrush holders also complement the rest of a rustic bathroom. They come in a variety of rustic motifs that include acorn patterns and items with leather and metal ornamentations.
Sofas, dining tables and chairs, and end tables no longer represent the definition of log furniture exclusively. Bringing fun outdoor furniture pieces such as pet beds, unique log beds, entertainment tables, and bathroom accessories into existing or new decors can add a splash of warmth to one's emergent rustic home.
