Home Design Trends For 2023 That Compliment Your Cabin Home

While there are tons of home design trends for 2023 that we’re excited about, we're highlighting the five that perfectly complement our ideal aesthetic - the quintessential cabin home. Interior design trends this year are all about highlighting organic, eco-friendly materials and celebrating the beauty in natural, imperfect products. All of which prominently capture the cabin lifestyle of embracing the great outdoors.

So if you’re searching for ways to bring in fresh pieces or amp up the style in your cabin home this year, we suggest starting with these 2023 home design trends that will integrate seamlessly with your current cabin style.

Organic and Handmade Elements

When it comes to 2023 trends for home decor, organic and imperfect local finds are absolutely in. Everything from handwoven textiles and handmade tiles to stone pottery make unique and unforgettable pieces for your home, and can be seamlessly incorporated. Including raw materials reflects the beauty of nature and its basic elements, which should always be celebrated in a cabin home. 

This goes along with an emphasis on different textures. This year plaster and lime-washed walls made their way into home design and that trend will only grow in 2023. Giving a plaster stone finish to a kitchen hood or bathroom wall would be a beautiful way to incorporate more natural textures in your cabin home.

Pine & Natural Woods

Speaking of organic elements, warm tones are in this year (and grays are most certainly out!). Natural woods like pine wood are a great way to incorporate these hues throughout your cabin, so it's the perfect time to lean into everything from wood walls to natural wood furniture.

Inspired by Swiss chalets, think chunky pine furniture, lattice detailing, and upscale wood elements. Wide plank oak floors also continue to be one of the most popular flooring types, complementing any cabin interior. Providing a folksy feel, this 2023 trend is a no brainer for your cabin home. 

Oversized Lighting

Whether it’s a basket light, pendant light, or even over-scaled chandelier, extra big lighting has a dramatic impact on any home. Especially for cabins with high ceilings, take advantage of the space by filling it with something not only functional but spectacular. 

Bold sized lighting grabs your attention and immediately changes the entire feel of your space. So whether it's a statement light over your dining room table, pendants in the kitchen, or a showstopper in your living room, don’t be afraid to play around with oversized lighting in your cabin.

Eco-Friendly, Sustainable Design

Factors in sustainable home decor include how, where, and with what things are made. Simply investing in well-made products that are meant to last will naturally  make a home more eco-friendly because it's less likely that those beautiful, high quality pieces will end up in a landfill after just a few years. 

So instead of buying something cheap and quick, consider shopping for antiques or custom pieces made of durable natural materials like wood, bamboo, stone, and clay. And try finding ways to give your old pieces new life to reduce your waste.

Garden Design

Along with eco-consciousness and a desire for natural environments, garden design is coming back in a big way for 2023. Designing a garden space is about being functional and inviting, while celebrating everything organic - what’s not to love! Taking outdoor entertaining to the next level, garden design is about crafting a place for true relaxation where you can appreciate the splendor of nature.

So in 2023, take the time to tend the outdoor areas of your cabin home to increase its natural beauty. Garden trends this year include swapping lawns for meadows to create a more drought-tolerant and easy to maintain yard. It doesn’t require mowing, supports pollinators, and can transform your cabin into a dream cottage. No matter how you incorporate garden design into your cabin home, remember to shop at your local nurseries for native plant varieties. They’ll be easier to keep alive, require less water, and flourish in your home.
