The beauty of a cabin or a lodge property is that is can be decorated in a rustic and eclectic way. Lodge decor that includes antique well worn items will only add to its charm, while saving the owners money on the costs of furnishing it. If you are decorating on a budget, some of the ideas that follow will help you make your vacation home feel welcoming and livable, without spending a lot of money.
When looking for furnishings for this space, consider buying used pieces. Instead of spending a lot of money on new matching sets, simply scour your local paper and online listings for all the furniture that you need. To make it look more pulled together, spend an afternoon repainting all of your pieces or adding a new finish. Even if it does not look perfect in the end, it will make for an attractive, rustic scene.
Bright, fun art is one of the best parts of country living. Of course, getting great art does not require a visit to a gallery. To highlight the laid back atmosphere in the home, and to encourage the whole family to take part, frame some of your children's favorite paintings and use them to line the walls. As you did with the furniture above, you can easily repaint or refinish the frames to match one another or the colors that are on display in their work of art.
Adding a few homemade quilts or throw pillows to a room is a perfect way to make it feel more lived in. Even if you do not consider yourself to be particularly skilled with a needle and thread, online patterns and how to guides make completing these projects easy. Do remember that such projects can take time, so you may even spend your first few visits to the lodge completing your work.
