While some people live in their cabin full-time, others view their cabin as a space to get away from the rigors of life. A cabin is a sanctuary to de-stress, and part of creating that sanctuary is choosing a design that makes you relax as soon as you enter.

The rustic chic design emulates relaxation, making it perfect for a cabin. It balances rural elements with touches of glamor that will make you feel like you’re in the lap of luxury. The following wall colors are the best options for creating a rustic chic home design in your cabin.

Neutral Colors: Beige or White

Many people associate neutral colors with the modern farmhouse, and they don’t want that association in their cabin. The key to incorporating neutral colors with a rustic chic design is to use warm tones. Modern farmhouses mostly use cool, neutral colors. A warm beige or white can make your cabin feel cozy, clean, and welcoming.

Warm Colors: Golden Yellow or Red-Brown

While neutral colors have their place in any home design, on walls and within décor, rustic chic also incorporates warm colors. The most popular warm colors in this style are golden yellow and red-brown. Shades of these colors have different names from different brands, but they all provide a rustic yet colorful pop within your cabin. 

Warm colors also emphasize the perfect rustic chic lighting option: deer antler chandeliers. These chandeliers come in the neutral colors mentioned previously, so a warm-colored wall will make them pop.

Warm and Cool Colors: Gray with Blue, Purple, or Green

Mixing a warm gray with a cool color makes any room cozier, which is exactly what you want for a rustic chic space. A warm gray with blue, purple, or green will look good in any space around your cabin. We suggest one of these colors if you’re creating a rustic chic dining room because cool colors are often perceived as formal. If you have a formal dining room in your cabin, then a formal color will look great on the walls!

The best wall colors for a rustic chic home design in your cabin feature warmth. Warm neutrals, colors, or grays mixed with cool colors will make your cabin feel cozy yet elegant.
