I’m quite often asked what a log cabin looks like inside. I think maybe some customers think it looks like a shed with a frame, a bit ugly with bits protruding. To corroborate, log cabin looks the same inside as it does outside.
Shed Inside
This what a shed inside looks like:
It’s not the greatest looking thing. It will show the framing and has bits sticking out. Adding a lining can improve it, but it remains a shed.
A log cabin is a completely different proposition. It’s smooth and planed with no rough edges. We make a big thing of choosing Spruce for all our log cabins and this makes quite a bit of difference in the look and feel of the building. It is a whitewood and maintains its light appearance. It doesn’t turn red like pine does with sun on it and the knots are a lot fewer.

So, lets see what a log cabin looks like inside, here’s a basic example:
Here is what your log cabin looks like once built. The wall logs and the floor both plane smoothly.

Hobby / Craft Cabins
As mentioned in our Uses Of A Log Cabin blog post, some customers use our cabins for craft/hobby rooms and workshops:
Pub / Bar Log Cabin
Our customers love to turn their Log Cabin into garden bars, for example, this Julia Log Cabin being used as a pub right in their garden!
Lounge Log Cabin
Man Cave Log Cabin
How about this customer, who turned his Justine Log Cabin into a cosy man cave:
Inside a Klass Log Cabin
Another Log Cabin used as a business front. This customer used the 5m x 4m Klass Log Cabin to give them plenty of space to promote their mosaic designs. Also, they made a sitting area for their customers:

Woodburner Log Cabin
This hideout spot is inside a Gijs Log Cabin fitted with a log burner in the corner, keeping the cabin cosy in the winter months:
Inside an Island Paradise Log Cabin
Our Petit Log Cabin is often used as a shed, due to its size of 2m x 2m. That’s why we revelled when these customers showed us how they turned their Petit into a cosy island paradise:
Summary
I think you can probably get the gist now, Log Cabins are nothing like a shed. Its smooth, sleek and very bright. Likewise, you can create whatever atmosphere you would like. Just make sure you buy a Spruce one!
