Turning your cabin into a cozy home away from home doesn't have to be an expensive project. With some careful planning and a few key pieces of furniture, you can create a cabin that you will love spending time in! We've collected out top 10 tips for putting together the rustic cabin décor that you're dreaming of!

1. First thing's first – identify the difference between rustic cabin décor and, well, junk. You may find a lot of the bargains you need for your new cabin at yard sales, flea markets, or even your own attic. It's a great way to save money, but make sure the items you are considering aren't old, too beat up looking or cheap. A little extra research in the beginning can save you money and time down the road. 2. Work with what's around you. Use nature as your inspiration. Take some river rocks in from outside and put them in a bowl on your coffee table. Pick some fresh flowers and put them out on your kitchen table. There's free décor all around you in the woods! 3. Drape comfy throws and quilts over chairs and couches to add a pop of functional color. They look great in the day and keep you toasty at night. 4. Buy an awesome table. You should invest in a few standout items, like this hand carved Bear Moose End Table. 5. Don't aim for polished perfection. The trees in the woods aren't in perfect rows, and your house doesn't have to be perfect either. Don't waste time and money looking for all oak furniture. You can pick and choose whatever pieces fit your budget for a rustic look. 6. Move some candles and picture frames from your home up to the cabin to give it a more homey feel. 7. Invite the animals indoors. Try to pick out a few pieces that will make you feel closer to nature. A cute Moose Fireplace Insert will remind you of the wild world just outside your door. 8. Hang old outdoors equipment on the walls. Broken fishing rods, or even snow shoes and skis can have new life when they are displayed around your log cabin. 9. Create a welcoming atmosphere. Make sure there's enough room for guests to visit and consider some signs welcoming them to your home. There are a ton of wooden signs that fit in with rustic cabin décor, and if you're crafty, you can even make your own! 10. Don't overdo any one element! We love fishing as much as the next guy, but we don't want our entire cabin to be filled with fish décor!

With a little time and effort, your cabin will become a home away from home. So get decorating and then get fishing!
