4 must-have furniture pieces for the cabin

This summer, add more comfort to your cabin or lake house with these recommended furniture pieces: 

1. A bench for the mudroom

After a day outdoors, it can be surprising just how much dirt can come home with you. A mudroom is the perfect place to take off your shoes and prevent that dirt from creating a messy cabin. A well-placed wooden bench makes it easier to remove your footwear.

To complement a rustic theme, consider a large, wood-topped bench with a metal base. Alternatively, a wooden bench with a deep storage compartment offers additional seating while providing a place to store your outdoor gear.

2. A table to share the day's catch

Your cabin furniture should add to the comfort and satisfaction you receive from spending time away from home. If you're buying pieces for a lake home or a cabin near a prime fishing spot, you'll want some place to enjoy each day's catch of fresh fish.

A large dining room set is ideal for families who enjoy eating meals together and those times when you invite your friends to the cabin for a fun weekend.

3. An electric fireplace for cool nights

It may be summertime, but the nights can still get quite cool. An electric fireplace and a warm blanket can turn a chilly evening into a cozy night. Best of all, an electric fireplace requires little installation and can be added to almost any room in the house.

For instance, a media chest with a fireplace insert saves space while providing a sense of comfort and relaxation. It's the perfect option for families that want to escape from the daily grind and take full advantage of the cabin or lake house.

4. Outdoor seating to enjoy nature in comfort

No matter how comfortable the inside of the cabin feels, you'll still want to spend the beautiful summer days outside. An outdoor seating set can provide your family with a relaxing environment to hang out and enjoy the summer breeze.

Look for seating sets made with rust-free aluminum and resin wicker for optimal weather resistance. These materials hold up well in outdoor environments and should last for years when properly maintained.
