Colorado log homes have a rustic charm that is all their own. To have the outside appeal reflected on the inside, it’s important to have a cohesive design. All the contents should work well together to reflect the overall vision for the house, and there are many aspects to that, starting with the color scheme. It’s best to leave as much natural wood exposed as possible. Otherwise, dark colors like reds and browns usually work well. Furnishings should also seem as natural as possible. This is not the place for modern straight-edged couches. A lot of comfortable furniture with curved lines make for a homier space. Wood and leather are popular materials, though it’s usually nice to have some form of fabric present to soften the look, whether it’s a couch or a rug. A quilt on the couch or on the wall is one classic way to bring a homey feel to a room. Also in the name of keeping the space welcoming, there should be plenty of light, but it should not be harsh light. Natural lighting from windows and skylights are a bonus wherever possible, but otherwise, a series of lamps with soft lighting can help take care of that, and the light fixtures can even fit in with the design scheme. For instance, deer antler chandeliers are a popular choice. For that matter, there are many purely decorative accessories that can help Colorado log homes stand out. Popular design motifs often involve different kinds of animals, such as trout, whitetail deer, or black bears, and this motif can be worked into a room with wall art, statues, or decorative clocks, lamps, coat hooks, or any number of items that might fill a room. A motif does not have to be an object, though. It could be an abstract design, a pattern, or even some kind of material, like a certain kind of stone.
