52 Luxury Log Home Designs – Interiors and Exteriors (with Pictures)

Log houses have been around for a long, long time. They are built off long timber poles that are horizontally stacked and interlocked in the corners. The log house (or log cabin) is a traditional structure in some northern and mountain regions where straight pine trees grow and do not require much processing. Log cabins are usually built in forest and rural areas where they fit in the scenery and blend in with the setting. They can vary in size and design, but they all typically have a steep pitched roof.

Log homes can be built with round or square shaped wood logs that are either handcrafted, or milled. Handcrafted wood is peeled and hewn using a knife and an axe, and the individual elements are not consistent in size and appearance. Milled logs on the other hand are all equal in shape and size, and can be used to construct log homes with a cleaner and more modern look. They also come in a large variety of profile shapes. They can be flat and square, fully round or D-shaped so that they are round on the outside and flat on the inside.

The interior of a log home should be in tune with its exterior. That is why the log walls are usually left as they are – bare wood in its natural shape and no extra treatment is required except in rooms with high humidity levels. Unconcealed support beams are always good to have in a log home interior; as for hardwood floors and timber-clad ceilings, they are a must. When it comes to putting the finishing touches and sprucing up the space, hand-crafted items and natural materials should be opted for.

Now check out our gallery where you can find a fine selection of luxurious exterior and interior log home design proposals.
