The way we think about our home and outdoor space has changed considerably over the past two years. Being forced to spend more time at home has made us more open to making changes and investing our time, money, and effort into creating a cosy environment. In addition to that, we’ve also become more aware of the variety of options that have become available to us and that can make our lives better such as the residential log cabin – a versatile outbuilding that can become whatever we need it to. So, when it comes to interior design trends, talking about log cabins is a must as they can easily become home offices, hobby rooms, extra bedrooms, and even all-in-one retreats. So, let’s take a look at some of the most notable 2022 interior design trends that can be applied to log cabin homes.

Colour Trends for 2022

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a lot of bold colours and maybe it’s time for a little change. Many designers including Justina Blakeney and Athena Calderone predict that this year we’re going to see a lot of earthy browns and colours that are close to nature. Terracotta tones, cognac, burnt umber, chocolate browns, caramels, and camels are perfect options for 2022 and we couldn’t be happier. If you are a fan of these delightful warm colours, don’t hesitate to use them when decorating your residential log cabin.

If you love bold colours, there are plenty of amazing shades to play with over the next year. Whether you want to repaint your house, add a statement wall, or even paint your fence or your outdoor furniture, the following colours are perfect options. Let’s start with Pantone’s Very Peri, which is an interesting and refreshing shade of blue which has a subtle violet undertone. Ideal for spaces that need to stimulate your imagination such as a hobby room, or a studio, this shade of blue will surely make any space pop up.

Other amazing colours that you should consider this year include Periwinkle Blue and Benjamin Moore’s October Mist (perfect for cosy spaces such as a reading room), Sherwin Williams’ Evergreen Fog (versatile and elegant), Benjamin Moore’s Raccoon Fur (great for bathrooms and kitchens), and any shade of aqua, dusky blues, and greens that will fill your home with a Mediterranean vibe.

If you are the lucky owner of a residential log cabin or if you plan on buying a residential log cabin home kit, take a look at the colours mentioned above and pick the ones that you like most. If you want your log cabin home to feel cosy, you should go for the earthy tones. If you are a creative and energic person, a bold colour would be a better option. If you are a dreamer, opt for Mediterranean shades and bring some of that summer vacation spirit closer to home.

Furniture Trends for 2022

If you’ve just purchased a 2 bedroom log cabin or a 3 bedroom log cabin, you are surely on the lookout for some amazing furniture to fill all this new space with. An important trend that we’ll see in furniture design in 2022 is the designers’ preference for curvy lines. This trend applies to upholstered furniture and even cabinetry, so if you happen to find rounded sofa backs and curved sideboards while shopping, make sure you add them to your list of favourites.

Another amazing trend that happens to be among our favourites is represented by vintage furniture. All over the world, designers are starting to incorporate vintage items into their projects and we couldn’t be happier. Fast furniture has its advantages and it cannot be avoided, but vintage pieces are much more elegant, have more personality and charm, and can elevate any interior. Over the years, vintage furniture has been regarded as old people furniture, but that has changed over the past few years. Young people are starting to discover the undeniable qualities of vintage furniture and are successfully mixing and matching old items with new ones.

A lot of designers use statement pieces to make their projects more unique. If you love modern furniture but want to elevate your space, an antique piece is what you need. An art deco or a baroque headboard, an antique armoire, a vintage dining table are great examples of vintage pieces that you can find on the market and that will make any bedroom cabin look more refined.

When it comes to mixing antique furniture with modern items it’s all about balance. Your home should integrate things that you love and that have meaning. So, if you’re feeling creative and want your residential log cabin to be a space that boosts your happiness and your creativity, try your hand at mixing and matching.

Don’t have a large residential log cabin? No problem! You can make your small log cabin home feel more spacious by choosing the right furniture.

Indoor Plant Trends for 2022

Indoor gardening has become an important trend over the past few years. Spending more time at home has made us more open towards trying out new hobbies and the extra free time was a great opportunity to try our hand at growing and caring for tropical plants. So, if you are a tropical plant lover and already have one or two succulents, you might wonder what plants will be sharing the spotlight in 2022. So, according to gardening websites such as The Spruce and GardenBeast, the IT plants for 2022 are Hoya Plant, Philodendron, Alocasia, Mini Monstera, and, of course, the amazing Orchid that is so easy to grow and to care for and that rewards its growers with beautiful blooms every year.

If you love having tropical plants around, you won’t have any problems growing them in a residential log cabin. When equipped with floor and roof insulation and with a heating system, a residential log cabin is comfortable year-round. In addition to that, our log cabins, such as this eco-friendly garden pod are equipped with large windows, so your plants will always receive plenty of natural light.
