Although I’m happy to live in a house, there’s certainly a part of me that dreams about calling an enchanted forest my home.

For a magical fairytale forest decor, think about focusing your entire bedroom theme around the style. Wooden walls with details that mimic a log cabin like the picture above are a nice touch. Think of decorating with green and brown neutral colors, and adding charming details such as paintings of leaves or trees on the walls or ceilings. See more on Decoist.

Chic and Elegant
