How to Design Your Perfect Log Cabin
Published: 14/09/2018
Are you looking for some cabinspiration?
Many people believe that the inevitable approach of winter means that gardens suddenly become off-limits. While the sun loungers may be hidden away from your garden for the foreseeable future, it doesn't mean you have to hide too. Log Cabins are a great way to open up your garden year-round. Looking for a cosy garden retreat? An outdoor gym, office, or living room? A Log Cabin is a versatile option for excellent results! Here are some ideas we love to turn your cabin into your castle:
A luxurious living room
Want a home [not too far] away from home? A Log Cabin is a great way of adding another room to your house, without an extension! Think comfy sofas, fluffy rugs, candles, wall art... anything your heart desires. It's a chance to really make the space your own! Top tip: Use quality paints to decorate your cabin, so it can be beautiful inside and out. These paints not only look good, but provide excellent protection for your building.
A garden office
Inspiration can come from everywhere, and your garden is no exception. A Log Cabin makes a great home office! Creating a calm environment away from home is perfect for encouraging productivity. Top tip: Check out our handy guide on how to get WiFi in a garden building.
Raise the bar on drinking at home
Where's the best place to get a drink? Your bar! This customer turned their Amur Log Cabin into a functioning bar, complete with spirit pourers, stools and plenty of beverages. Going out can be expensive, so here's to a few nights out, in! Cheers! Top tip: Drink responsibly!
Work out in style
There's big money in gyms. 1 in 7 of us own a gym membership, and their profit depends on you not actually going. We know the excuses: you don't have the time, your gym is too far, parking is a nightmare... well imagine working out, in comfort and privacy, from your own back garden! For around the price of an annual membership, or even less, you could kit out a log cabin to turn it into a fully functioning gymnasium. Top tip: Budget conscious? Check out sites like eBay or Gumtree for cheap used gym equipment. Freecycle is a great place to bag a freebie, as long as you can pick up the item yourself.
Entertainment room
Are you a poker pro? Pool hustler? Gamer? A Log Cabin can become the ideal place to pursue hobbies where you won't be disturbed! Combine the essentials with some related decor for your own personalised retreat. Top tip: Turn a Log Cabin into a Man Cave or a She Shed as an incredible gift for a partner.
Make use of outdoor space
Adding a deck to your cabin is a perfect way to bridge the gap between outdoors and indoors. Treat yourself to some crisp autumn air with a toasty hot chocolate and some fleecy blankets to snuggle up with. An outdoor heater is a perfect investment to see you through the colder winter nights. Top tip: Autumn is a great time to stargaze - ideal to do from your deck! Check out BBC Universe for some top tips.
