Are you dreaming of a tranquil escape without leaving the comfort of your home ? Imagine sipping hot cocoa by a crackling fire, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and the crisp scent of pine. While jetting off to the Swiss Alps might not be feasible, you can bring a slice of alpine paradise to your own backyard by transforming your garden log cabin into an enchanting alpine chalet.
Whether you use your garden log cabin as a home office, an entertainment space, or simply a quiet retreat, infusing it with alpine charm can create a cosy atmosphere that transports you to a mountainside haven. Heres how to dress up your garden log cabin as an alpine chalet:
Rustic Exterior Facelift: Start by giving your garden log cabin an exterior makeover reminiscent of traditional alpine chalets. Opt for a natural wood finish or paint it in earthy tones like forest green or warm brown. Add decorative shutters, window boxes overflowing with vibrant flowers, and charming wooden signs to evoke the rustic charm of a mountain lodge.
Alpine-Inspired Décor: Fill your garden log cabin with alpine-inspired décor to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Think plush faux fur throws, knitted blankets, and soft cushions in rich shades of red, green, and blue. Incorporate natural elements like reclaimed wood furniture, stone accents, and antler decor to add to the chalet aesthetic.
Warm Lighting: Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood of your alpine retreat. Choose warm, ambient lighting to create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Hang vintage lanterns, string fairy lights around the windows, and place candles or lanterns on tables for a soft, flickering glow reminiscent of a mountain lodge.
Chalet-Inspired Furniture: Invest in furniture that complements the alpine theme of your garden log cabin. Choose sturdy wooden tables and chairs with a rustic finish, plush sofas and armchairs adorned with faux fur throws, and a large, inviting dining table perfect for gathering with friends and family.

Outdoor Oasis: Extend the alpine chalet experience to the outdoor space surrounding your garden log cabin. Create a welcoming patio area with wooden decking, comfortable seating, and a fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. Add potted evergreen trees, colourful flowers, and rustic lanterns to complete the alpine oasis vibe.
By following these tips, you can transform your garden log cabin into an enchanting alpine chalet that provides a peaceful retreat right in your own backyard. Embrace the cosy charm of the Swiss Alps and create a space where you can relax, unwind, and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, all without leaving home.

Delivery was efficient, all well packaged and protected from damage. Constructed by three of us in one and a half days. Everything fitted perfectly and needed gentle mallet to locate exactly. Instruction book was clear simple and explicit. Thoroughly delighted with the construction and the finish. Very pleased that Martin was able to redraw the design to our specification. Delighted with the whole thing, finish, price and service. Thanks Martin.

Great quality item with simple, concise instructions, easily constructed by the family. Great delivery service. However, the customer service from Garden Adventure was not great; the cabin was a month late arriving, we had to chase for information regarding this as none was forthcoming. The incorrect bearers arrived and although we received a refund we had to chase for this. Not sure I would recommend them but the cabin materials were great.

Seamless ordering, Martin was extremely helpful with all my questions. Delivery was also fantastic with the delivery guy very helpful (it's a big delivery). Took me and elderly father in law 2 days to get it all up and built/weather tight, went together very easily with no issues. I went for the shingle roof, it still came also with felt which could be used as roof underlay. For spec I went for the superior level glazing with toughened glass, also went for the larger logs (68mm) and glad I did as feels so sturdy/insulated although am sure the 44mm would be great also. I Insulated the floor with celotex, could have done the roof but as this is a garden room rather than office etc I didn't go that far. Overall a highly recommended product, for what you get I think it's a very competitive price, much better than others I had seen that weren't so good. The only parts I bought myself were the insulation and guttering (and paint/preserve of course). I want it to last so did two coats of preserve, knotting and two of paint, also have a sealant to go on which is yet to be done. A sprayer really helped/cut down on time. Would not hesitate in recommending Martin to purchase through, helpful all through the process and very quick to respond. 5*

Great cabin. Excellent quality. From the initial ordering and having it customised to my specs, to screwing on the last piece of trim this has been a pleasure. Straight forward to assemble. Had everything but the roof covering done in a day on account of how well it went together. Sturdy high quality build. Could not be happier. This company have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Top marks 👍

Really pleased with our log cabin! Can't believe the quality of the wood. It took the installation team (Lee Stuart and 3 others who were recommended by Martin) 6.5 hours which was really impressive given the weather conditions on the day, and even they said how good the quality was. It is so warm inside and we didn't even have the insulation installed. Great correspondence from Martin from the start to keep us in the loop regarding production and delivery times. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Martin!
