Hunting Cabin Decor Ideas: Colors, Rooms and Personal Touches

Hunting cabin decor ideas? Start with a palette taken from the woods (browns, greens, deep blues), keep the furniture simple and comfortable, build the room around one focal point like a fireplace or a big window, and add a few personal touches: wildlife pillows, a framed photo of your dog, layered plaid throws and only your best trophies.

Below are room-by-room ideas for a lodge, camp or a man cave at home. Looking for finishing touches? See our hunting home decor.

Start with a natural color palette

My Country Cabin suggests taking cues from outside: "earthy browns of swaying tree branches, the varied greens of leaves and grass, deep blue skies, and golden yellow sunsets" (My Country Cabin: Hunting Cabin Decor Ideas). Mix in natural textures such as leather, burlap, exposed wood and steel.

• Walls: warm wood stain or a warm paint color
• Accents: forest green, rust, deep blue
• Textures: leather, wool, plaid flannel, jute

Keep it simple and comfortable

A hunting cabin should feel lived-in, not fancy. Think oversized chairs, a sturdy pine or cedar table and a few soft throws. The same guide warns that themes are best kept subtle: pair an antler lamp with a plain shade instead of a deer-print one, and display "a few prize trophies rather than all of them."

Hunting cabin decor ideas for the living room

Build around one focal point

A stone fireplace, wood stove or picture window draws the eye. Keep window treatments light so you can see the tree line.

Layer pillows and throws

Wildlife pillows and plaid blankets are the fastest way to make a couch feel like camp. Two or three pillows with deer or duck art are enough; mix them with solid colors.

Hang one strong piece of wall art

Instead of many small frames, pick one canvas over the couch or mantel: a duck in flight, a whitetail in the timber or your own hunting dog.

Bedroom and bunk room ideas

• Warm bedding first: flannel sheets, quilts and a heavy blanket for cold nights.
• Braided wool or jute rugs over wood floors.
• Log bunk beds for a group camp; keep accent furniture minimal.
• Soft lighting. Flameless candles are the safer choice in a wood cabin.

Personal touches that tell your story

• A framed photo or canvas of your bird dog. If your dog works the field with you, read are golden retrievers good hunting dogs.
• Old snowshoes, antique fishing rods or a vintage map of your hunting area.
• A board game shelf for rainy days at camp.
• A rack by the door for hats, blaze orange and boots. See what colors deer can see before your next sit.
