For The Rustic Home Decor Guide, the worst thing you can do when trying to capture that cabin aesthetic is fill your space with tacky, fish covered everything. One of the worst examples of this is using sheets and comforters covered in trout or some other colorful fish for a couch or bed cover. That’s not how a real fishing cabin looks, so why would you think this faux fishing cabin decor is a good idea?
One of the main design features of classic fishing cabins is the fishing gear stored in cabinets along the walls. Build a small rack to hold your favorite river fishing rods on the wall, install a hook for a lifejacket or some waders, and if you have a big enough space, consider housing your canoe in the room to complete that rustic, slightly messy look that so many of us love about fishing cabins.
As the fishing cabin decor retailer Cottage Surroundings points out, few things say “fishing cabin” quite like vintage photographs showing off the area in times gone by. You don’t even have to buy these. Simply take a few pictures of your favorite spot on your next trip, change the color filter to black and white or sepia in your editing program, and then print them out to your desired size. Done and done.
