Decorating in a Log Home

There are many colours to choose from when it comes to selecting colours that will compliment your log walls. It basically comes down to, 'The colours you like.' If you like your walls to be neutral in colour then the furniture and accessories you chose could have some punch, for example: you may have a neutral coloured sofa and adding red throw cushions adds some boldness to the look. If you keep your colour palette neutral it will always be in fashion and that way you can change accessory colours instead of your furniture. Wood is powerful and makes a strong statement, so adding little splashes of colour here and there will certainly compliment the wood. Bold colours really stand out against a neutral coloured wood. One of the trickiest colours to use is yellow. It's always in style and people find it rather stimulating , and apparently helps with concentration. Shades of yellow in log homes bring out the grain and character of the wood. Green is the livliest colour of all and fits in anywhere in a log home. Dark greens are conservative and calming and is ideal for dens and bedrooms. So if you are wondering about colour for your log home, just remember that strong vibrant colours and cool colours make ideal compliments.
