You can make the interior of a log cabin look more modern by balancing rustic elements with more contemporary finishes and materials. Contrast dark wood tones on the exposed log walls and ceiling beams with white furniture, textiles, or décor accents. Use shiny metallic tones and mirrors to bounce light around in a darker space. Leave windows bare to let in more natural light. Accent with pops of bright color or artwork. And mix new and old furniture and décor accents to create a timeless feel.
