Picture this: you wake up with a chill on your nose and a mountain of down duvet on your chest, the smell of coffee in the air. Your room is crisp but warm and glowy, with the morning sun cresting over the evergreens through fat flakes that fall in front of your bedroom’s picture window.
You slowly open your eyes, realize you have no deadlines, no conference calls, no need to get up — but you do anyway. The silence is just too luxurious to pass up. You’re on vacation. A fabulous mountain chic vacation.
From here on out your only focus is how to get everyone dressed, fed, and ready to hit the slopes to chase powder — only to come home to a hot beverage (most likely spiked), a crackling fire, some warm grub, and serious family time.
How could this get any better? How about taking this feeling and putting it into the most luxurious modern cabin decor. We’re talking 15-foot reclaimed wood ceilings outlined with intersecting solid wood beams. Full floor-to-ceiling black steel-lined windows framing a pristine white-capped mountain view at dusk.
A six-point deer head hanging over a mega slate-faced fireplace and a front row seat on a massively deep, low U-shaped sectional overflowing with puffy pillows and draped with gorgeous animal pelts. Above: a strong, structural, softly glowing chandelier accompanied by perfect pops of candle light strategically placed throughout the main living space. Leave us alone, we are in our happy place!
Now, dream scenario aside, attaining the quintessential alpine style can be harnessed with a few key items: LOTS of unfinished wood, layers of fur, leather, fireplace mantel decor, and a warm, clean, mellow color palette. Throw in some plaid, cashmere, antlers, a hot toddy, and you’ve got yourself a proper ski lodge vibe.
Chic cabin decor for the bedroom
The bedroom is the perfect place to layer on these elements. Start with the largest bed your room can possibly fit — totally necessary, right? Top it with crisp white Egyptian cotton linens, drape with a massive faux fur throw in warm browns or creams, then finish by propping a solid few rows of giant euros in subtle patterns and neutral colors in descending size order.
Float the room on a one-of-a-kind hand woven half shag area rug or a fabulous cow hide with similar mellow colors as the bed dressing. Add in a pair of bedside accent lamps, a perfectly placed leather arm chair, fill any stark white walls with a minimally intrusive art piece — and you’ve created a place for those worn-out ski muscles to recuperate in style.
