How To Make Your Cabin Cozy For a Winter Getaway
What’s the best way to recover from the post-holiday blues? With a little winter getaway.
Maximizing the cabin feeling is all about ambiance. If it’s not cozy, it’s not worth it. We’ve compiled a list of tips to make your cabin extra relaxing this winter.
Bring in Plush Textiles
Nothing makes you want to lounge and relax more than inviting pillows and blankets. The key to setting the mood on a winter retreat is all in the material choices, which is why we recommend sticking to plush faux-fur blankets, plaid pillows, and quilted accents to create an environment that calls for nothing but drinking wine and reading romantic novels.
Choose Natural Woods
The warm tones of walnuts and oaks make a cabin feel extra luxurious. Rather than an all-white space, bringing in natural wood accents and furniture help to bring in that raw element cabins often have. It bridges the gap between the outdoors and in, which is exactly the feeling you want when you’re away on a weekend getaway.
Commit To Oversized Furniture
Large lounge chairs, plush sofas, ornate lamps, giant rugs. Sparse is not what we want to go for in a cabin setting. To make the space comfortable and an open invitation for game playing, napping, reading, and eating, we need the furniture to take up space. No one wants to nap on a tiny accent chair. A large lounger is where the best naps are had.
Scent is Key
It’s like the smell of that one recipe that takes you back to dinners at your Grandma’s house, scent has a way of transporting us to happy places. Make your cabin a happy place with diffusers or candles. Opt for warmer scents like bergamot and cedarwood over light scents like grapefruit and peppermint to create the feeling of hunkering down.
Add in Greenery
It’s that added touch of potted plants that brings a space to life. Winter can feel bleak, which is why greenery in a cabin is key for adding happiness into the space. We love trailing vines in cabins, as they’re hearty and easy to maintain, while also making a big impact.
