Creating a warm, cozy mountain lodge atmosphere in your home, cabin or office can be effectively accomplished by working log chairs into the décor. Log chairs, typically crafted from aspen, turned lodge pole or skip peeled wood, can not only be a powerful piece in a full mountain design theme but they can also be used as accent pieces to complement an eclectic design style.

Think you can't have log chairs if you don't live in the mountains? While log chairs make a lovely addition to any mountain cabin, they also create the perfect way to add rustic charm to your home in the city. Many people who are nature lovers at heart but find themselves trapped in the city during the week use log chairs as a reminder of the mountain life they enjoy on the weekends and during vacations.

Variety of Chair Styles

There is a variety of chair styles that can be used both indoors and outdoors. Log chairs can be used in the kitchen and dining room by incorporating bar stools, bar chairs and side chairs. A popular design for other areas in the home such as the study or den is the captain's chair with strong, sturdy arms. Many people choose to add chair pads to log chairs to make them more comfortable for lounging.

Log chairs can also be used outdoors to add extra seating to a patio or deck area. Rocking chairs are the perfect finishing touch to a cabin or city home porch. In addition to chairs, log benches are also a common fixture in yards and gardens and on cabin decks.
