Lodge Decorating Plans

Lodge living means life lived close to nature, waking up to the sound of hawks crying and streams babbling. Decorating styles for these types of homes should ideally reflect the lifestyle promoted by lodge living.

Style

• The type of lodge home you live in will to some extent determine the decorating plans you will choose for the lodge. If your lodge falls on the side of having a more modern style, then your decor choices should reflect that.

Considerations

• A homeowner who's moving into a lodge from a home in the suburbs should think about how much of her old furniture she'll bring into the space, as well as how many new pieces she plans to buy. This helps narrow down the decision-making and furniture and accessory-shopping processes.

Solutions

• For those who are truly stumped as to how to decorate the lodge-style home, a look through books and magazines featuring cabin and lodge decorating should net some ideas. Additionally, if there's a parade of homes in the area that features cabin-style homes, make arrangements to go see them.
