The holidays have passed us, and 2017 is a new year. The cold air of winter has many of us spending more time indoors than we might like. To make the best of these times, why not try out some New Decor for the New Year? We offer a variety of rustic decor that can help you give your home a fresh and cozy feel that’s customized to your liking. Start the year off right by modifying your environment to be aesthetically pleasing to you! You will be spending a lot of time in your home, so, make it nice for yourself.

Here at Rocky Mountain Cabin Decor, we are proud to offer products that bring the beauty of nature into our homes… products that creatively weave nature into what may otherwise be mundane household necessities. Take our Iron Stack with Braided Wire Accent Lamp for example. Why not try this as a replacement for the ordinary reading lamp you have next to your comfy livingroom chair?  Now, imagine sitting down in your comfortable chair with a warm cup of cocoa on a cold February day. You will undoubtedly stop to appreciate the intricacy of this lamp with it’s handcrafted lamp shade. Again, what we love about natural decor is that it gets people to forget about day-to-day stress for a moment and appreciate natural beauty

We have a plethora of products such as this to choose from. If you have a particular fondness for wildlife, take a look at our Bayfield Bear & Moose Bedding Collection and consider adding some character to your bedroom. Or, consider some of our rustic metal wall art. The majestic scenes in these pieces will spark your imagination, evoke memories of the outdoors, and inspire you to get outside when the warm weather returns (or sooner if you’re brave!).

So, we encourage you to get a good start to 2017 by trying out some new items in your home. Customize the aesthetics of your environment to keep you in good spirits all your long!

The trees are bare and the chill is in the air. Winter is coming, and every living thing is busy preparing for the onset of frigid temperatures and a snow-covered landscape. The squirrels are gathering and hoarding a hearty supply of food, bears are preparing to hibernate, and we humans are gearing up as well — pulling out the heavy blankets, cleaning the chimney so we can fire up the wood stove or build crackling fires in the fireplace on bone-chilling evenings, and planning for the holidays. The nights are already long and cold!

The first celebration of winter will be upon us in mere weeks, and we’re busy making gift lists, gathering fragrant greenery to “deck the halls”, and deciding where we’ll put the Christmas tree this year. It’s a magical time!

If you’re having company this Christmas, you’ll want your house to look its best, so now’s the time to stock up on candles and candle holders, decorative throw pillows to cozy up the living room, and new bedding for the guest room for your overnight guests. And if you’re having trouble deciding on something extra-special to give your in-laws, your neighbor or your friends, be sure to browse through Rocky Mountain Decor’s selection of unique Christmas gift ideas! (We even have gift certificates in several denominations so they can pick out their gifts themselves.) And for goodness sake, don’t forget to pick up something for your best friend — you know, the one that eats out of a bowl on the kitchen floor?

Rocky Mountain Decor let you decorate in the rustic style you love, a style that’s oh-so-perfect for winter, whether you live in the Rockies or anywhere else in this beautiful country!

With cold weather already knocking on your cabin door, it may be a good time spruce up the trusty fireplace. If you haven’t done so already, make sure that the fireplace and chimney have been properly cleaned of any built up soot.  There are cleaning logs that, when burned clear up dangerous creosote. Though, if your chimney needs more intensive cleaning, you can always contact a chimney sweep service.

Once you’ve properly cleaned the fireplace and chimney, you can always add some special touches, especially with Christmas rapidly approaching. While anytime is a good time to gather around the fire, Christmas may be the best time. There’s holiday story time, drinking hot chocolate, and of course hanging your stockings on the mantle. The fireplace is also a wonderful setting for Christmas pictures and opening gifts.

One effective but easy way to freshen up your fireplace is by adding a new screen. Not only does it shield small children and pets from the flames, it adds a decorative touch that can freshen up the entire room. A new hearth rug and fireplace back and also add a fresh, new look.

While fireplaces are quintessential to rustic decor they can cause the room to feel a bit dry, not a feeling you want especially if you have a live Christmas tree in the same room. A steamer is a wonderful alternative to humidifiers. They’re much more decorative than humidifiers, as they come in a variety of styles and colors, making them enhance the room rather than detract from it.  You can also add potpourri for a lovely, holiday scent.

Christmas is a busy time, so let us help you make special memories with your family and friends.

The method for creating the perfect rustic look comes down to styling with unique decor. You want cabin furniture that fashions a dramatic effect with natural objects and warm themes. Basically, you want furniture that is sturdy, robust, and rugged. Skip anything dainty or fussy as it will get lost in or clash with common rustic architectural features, such as wide-plank wood floors, weathered ceiling beams, and paneled walls. Knowledge is power, as the old saying goes, and that’s certainly true about cabin furniture. Here are a few things that you should know when it comes to seasonal rustic decor.

As we mentioned, layers of complicated patterns will make cabin decor too busy. Stick to simple designs in textiles. If you’re looking to use patterns, choose neutral colors to create a warm and cozy environment. Great patterns to consider are pine cones, bears, moose, deer, Aztec, camouflage, fish, leaves, horses, etc. To spice it up a bit for the holidays, try festive patterns like snowflakes, maple leaves, mistletoe, holly, pumpkins, cranberries, and more.

In cabin furniture, size does matter. You want items that are large in scale and weighty. Think about a leather couch, canopied four-poster beds, and a dining table that seats more than four. Also, consider rough materials like metals and woods. If your furniture is lacking in holiday spirit, accent it with rugs, throws, blankets, and pillows.

Found objects are a suitable way to accent your pastoral home. Twigs, tree stumps, dried leaves, nuts, acorns, and strips of bark can be used as accents. Bring the outside inside with murals or wallpaper that display a wildlife scene, candle holders that resemble branches, and chandeliers made out of antlers. There are many ways to utilize holiday knickknacks, like squirrel salt and pepper shakers, acorn bookends, pine cone stamped dinnerware, a lighted stained glass window lamp, etc. Themed found objects give joyous occasions that extra oomph.

A fireplace will literally warm up your rustic theme. If a fireplace isn’t for you, there are other ways to get that camp fire feel. A fire pit, candles, or lighting can create a welcoming ambiance during the holidays.

If it’s not cozy, it’s not a cottage. But remember to make it your own. It’s important to keep an open mind when dealing with such a specific style. Don’t be afraid to wander off the beaten path a bit with vintage items, collections, or homemade crafts. Live like Valentino Rossi,”My normal life is like being on holiday.”

As the days darken, our minds turn to light in the evenings.  Whether it’s a fire outside or lighting within the home, fall means we want to turn it up.

Brightening the Home

Just because it gets dark earlier doesn’t mean that life stops.  You want to update your lighting so that not only will you have great light, but so your home has new life in the midst of the dying down of the year.

• Rustic floor lamps will add more specific lighting to wide areas of your room.  As the nights darken, you can light the areas of the room you want.
• Rustic chandeliers will brighten an entire room.  Banish those dark nights from your home in style.
• Rustic wall sconces are perfect for adding focal lighting and adding drama to your room.  The lighting will be even more dramatic as the evenings dim.

Personal Lighting in the Home

How cozy is it when you can curl up with a good book as the evening falls?  There’s no better way than with rustic table lamps.  Whether you choose a lamp with a natural element like the Oak Leaf Tri-Base Table Lamp, or the cozy Iron Cabin Table Lamp with a nightlight, a rustic table lamp provides the light and ambience you want at just the right time.

Outdoor Light?

If you want to spend time outdoors in the evenings in the fall, you’ll want light.  As the days also cool, you may want heat too.  The perfect solution?  A Moose and Tree Patina Fire Pit.  Flames will give off the heat and light that we seem to crave in autumn.

Fall is the perfect time to update your lighting and make sure that you have sufficient light for the dark months ahead.  Whether brightening an entire room or reading a book, for indoors or out, make sure you have the right lighting for the job.

If you love the great outdoors, but can’t get out to the country as much as you’d like, and even trips to your local parks and other outdoor activities have slowed due to a hectic schedule, you can still enjoy outside living at home. We spend so much time decorating the rooms in the interior of our homes that we often forget about setting up a comfortable outdoor space. Using unique, rustic decor on your patio will bring visual interest as well as make it feel as if you’re right in the midst of the country, no matter where you live.

Furniture

The first thing you’ll need to select is proper seating. You don’t have to settle for ordinary chairs though. Rustic stump seating is distinctive and will always draw the eye. For the ultimate in comfort, try a rocking chair or two. If you’re interested in something truly unique, a glider bench made from ancient teak and rustic iron is the perfect addition. Imagine how relaxed you’ll feel, breathing in the fresh outdoor air while slowly rocking or gliding back and forth, after a busy day.

Lighting

So you can enjoy your outdoor space even after dark, you’ll want proper lighting that matches your rustic decor. Post lights or lanterns are a good choice. Select from an antiquated type of style to a more authentic rural style to create the warm ambience you’re looking for. Depending on the design of your patio, outdoor hanging lights are also available, which provide a bit more of an elegant though still rustic appearance. With outdoor lighting, you’re able to enjoy a late-night meal or a get-together with family and friends, or you can simply sit alone and catch up on your reading in a serene atmosphere.

Heating

There’s no reason you can’t enjoy your patio even after the sun goes down and when the temperatures start to cool. Utilizing a fire pit will allow you to use your outdoor space for many more hours and days during the year. A stylish fire pit with detailed western cutouts adds more design interest than simply an ordinary fire pit. Choose a fire bowl with a dome for something truly out of the ordinary that will quickly become a focal point and a conversation piece among your neighbors.

The Bathroom Design

If you’re a cabin owner, you want to make your interior feel rustic, yet comfortable.  You’ll need cabin furniture for your bedroom that fits your style and that of your cabin.  So what kind of bed do you want?  Let’s take a look at some inspiring bedrooms to help you decide.

Glamour in the Woods

If you’re going for glamour, this room delivers.  With a beautiful twig bed, a gorgeous chandelier-style ceiling fan, and an amazing view with a private patio, you’re sure to find some inspiration in this one-of-a-kind bedroom.  A twig bed inserts itself into the atmosphere and declares that it belongs here in a very comfortable way.

Wood Meets Metal

In a light airy cabin, a sweep of metal lifts the room in a breezy way.  The curving metal of the bed draws the eye’s attention to the room in a way no other design can.  In addition to drawing the eye, it also doesn’t draw away from the bed itself.  It’s the perfect fusion of structure and style.

Wildlife in the Wild

A wildlife themed bedroom seems almost cliche, but in a cabin, it just works.  How better to bring the outside in?  How inspiring for the rest of your room when you start with a bed that brings nature to the fore? Paired with natural materials like wood or stone, it’s hard to imagine a wildlife bed anywhere else.

We hope you gained some insight with the inspiration we provided today.  There are many styles one can achieve in a cabin, from full-on country, to full-on glamour.  Which one works for you?  When you start with your rustic bed, the rest will fall into place.
