It’s cabin season—the time of year when we look forward to long weekends at the lake cabin, lodge or another favorite weekend retreat. It’s also the perfect time to appreciate rustic and lovely lodge furniture. Our latest Design Trend Board is inspired by rustic lodge furniture, with a heap of sophisticated, urban style mixed in. It’s a stylish and accessible look that you can apply to your living space in your own cabin or lodge, or apply to your home in the city (or suburbs or country) to bring a little getaway vibe into your everyday life.

What is Urban Lodge style?

The Urban Lodge furniture style offers a cozy yet sophisticated look. It's a contrast of Lodge elements with distressed woods and textures, and Urban elements with streamlined leather and metal accents.

The Color Palette

If you want to apply an Urban Lodge look to your living room or throughout your home, it helps to define a color palette that can guide you as you select furnishings and décor. Neutral colors suit the earthy, lodge feel as well as the sophisticated urban vibe. Our Urban Lodge color palette brings in a nice mix of light and dark neutral shades:

• Urbane Bronze SW7048
• Amazing Gray SW7044
• Accessible Beige SW7036
• Aesthetic White SW7035
• Warm Stone SW7032

Creating a Conversation Area

The main pieces in this living room design come together to form a casual and comfortable conversation area, centered around a sofa, chair and coffee table. Since this look is all about balance, we chose a sofa and chair that complement each other. The soft textures and luxurious cushions of the sofa balance perfectly with the tailored lines of the leather swivel chair.

A soft shag area rug brings texture and warmth into the space with a cool neutral color and an abstract organic pattern. Finally, the square coffee table is a substantial peace that adds to the rustic feel of the space. It features a reclaimed pine wood planked top and heavy distressing for the perfect rustic appeal. The heavy block legs and dark two-toned finish anchors your living room and brings in a lot of character to your space.

Greenery and Finishing Touches

Some finishing touches will elevate your space and bring out your ideal mix of cozy lodge and trendy urban elements.

• Accent pillows and a throw blanket bring in some soft texture and cozy style.
• Vases that are ready for fresh flowers and some greenery bring some outside style inside your Urban Lodge.
• A vintage-inspired wall clock adds a metallic element and is full of refined charm.
• Wall art is an easy way to personalize your Urban Lodge look to your own tastes.
• A table lamp should be placed to brighten up any corner or help draw attention to favorite pieces.

Looking to create your own Urban Lodge design style?

It’s easy to bring Urban Lodge style into your home. Start out with a cozy main seating piece, add a tailored leather item which could be an accent chair or an ottoman. Don't forget to add a plush rug, cozy accent pillows and/or throw blankets, and finish it off with some urban design metal accent pieces.
