Something Old, Something New
Summer camp cabins are usually a mishmash of old and found objects that add up to a pleasantly informal style. For full-time living, offset vintage or quirky pieces with a modern piece or two. For example, the old-timey sofa upholstery gets a boost from the straightforward striped blanket thrown on top and the graphic Moroccan rug.

Rustic Finish
Plywood walls symbolize the “make-do mentality” of many frugal camp cabins, but the warm wood suits a more sophisticated style just as well. Paired with industrial accents and clean-lined furniture, the wall treatment takes on a Scandinavian feel. Seal walls with a matte finish rather than glossy for the most up-to-date take.

Inner Glow
Portable lighting is just as handy inside as it is outside. Set a duo of these kerosene lanterns on the table in place of candles or on a mantel for mood lighting. Heading to bed? Dock it bedside for nighttime reading. (LED versions are also available if a lit wick worries you.)

You Are Here
Wooden signs noting landmarks in that signature script are a touchstone of the U.S. system of parks and campgrounds. Score your own at an antique store if you’re lucky. If you’re not (or just aren’t up for a hunt), search Etsy for “National Forest sign” for a rotating collection of authentic signs and convincing reproductions.
