When it comes to building your house, you deserve to have something that reflects your wants, personality, desires and needs. Sometimes that’s a very modern, expansive, airy house, and sometimes that’s something a bit more down to earth. Wood cabins are all the rage now, and it’s not surprising why. They’re beautiful, cosy, and very versatile. The thing with wood cabins now is that they no longer need to have a rustic feel. You can take a wood cabin and make it just as glamorous than any giant modern house would. Architecture of wood cabins can vary greatly, so if you’re thinking of building yourself a wood cabin, it’s time to think about all the many styles you have the options for.
Small And Rustic
Staying true to its stereotype, if you build a wood cabin, it could be a cosy place with a wood-burning fire out in the middle of nature. While this may not be your preference, it’s what most people think of when they think of wood cabins, and it’s an excellent choice if you want to go down the traditional route.
Elongated Cabins
A new trend is something called elongated cabins, and these are cabins that take the traditional look but twist it into something impressive and otherworldly. These cabins are long and, most recently in the news, ones that look like elephant trunks. If you want a wood cabin but one that impresses more than it elicits “how cute” then an elongated cabin may be the way to go.
Geometric Shapes
Now more than ever wood cabins are taking on other shapes than what you might think of normally. Rather than being in the traditional house shape, they have odd angles and tilt in strange ways. They look like hexagons, triangles or a trapezium. These wood cabins are still very unique and can look super cool and give the wood cabin a more modern feel. If you’re looking for something cool and different, than these geometric shapes may just be what you’re looking for.
Smooth Wood
Many people when they think of wood cabins think of Little House on the Prairie cabins. Ones with logs and a rough look about them. However, nowadays, wood cabins can be made with natural wood that’s sanded down and have a very stereotypical Scandinavian look about them. This is becoming more and more popular in the UK, and these smooth, natural wood look can fit seamlessly into nature and look polished and modern, rather than rustic and rough.
Wood cabins open up so many possibilities for your home, more than you may have originally thought. The architecture of these wood cabins are fascinating and beautiful in their own way, so if you’re thinking of building a house it may be time to give these wood cabins a second thought—it may not be what you think.
