The cabin is a place to get away from everyday life while still feeling at home. With the right interior details, both a feeling of home and a relaxed pace can coexist in the cabin.

Most people feel the need for a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. A place where time stands still. Where you can retreat, with friends, family or just by yourself.

“Making the right furniture choices is critical so that the time we spend there is as enjoyable as possible for everyone who uses the cabin,” says Christina Kltzow, interior designer at Slettvoll. She frequently assists customers in furnishing their cabins to fit the life they envision living there. As an interior designer, she looks for solutions that the customers themselves had not considered, resulting in choices that are holistic and well thought out. If you would like help planning the interior of your cabin, you can order furnishing assistance on Slettvoll's website, or visit your nearest Slettvoll store.

Whether you're looking forward to putting your feet up on the sofa after a ski trip or inviting guests to a late-night dinner party, comfort should be prioritized in your cabin interior.

“When they go to their cabin, the vast majority of people are looking for peace and quiet. So it’s important to sit comfortably, both in the dining room where meals often turn into pleasant chats lasting through the evening and when you curl up on the sofa in front of the fireplace,” says the interior designer. Slettvoll's sofas can be supplied in various sizes and are upholstered in almost 300 different fabrics - which gives a lot of scope for creating a place for quality time.

If you are planning to furnish a new cabin or upgrade an existing one, Christina always starts by determining your needs: Will the cabin be a location for gatherings for extended family to celebrate Christmas or Easter? Is there a separate area for children or grandchildren, or is the fireplace the focal point for the entire family?

“Many people use the cabin to create cosy family traditions, where everyone can come together. That’s when flexible dining tables with additional extension leaves are a good solution. Extra dining chairs can be kept in the bedrooms when not in use. In the living room, ottomans with storage space are great as additional seating furniture, as they can be stowed away under the table when they are not in use,” she says.

Our interior designers can also help to find beautiful curtains to match, whether the need is for sun shading or privacy.

Sometimes you need a creative pair of eyes. The ability to see the solutions that transform a room into a home - because there is a lot to consider when furnishing a house or a cabin.

Here, Slettvoll's furnishing assistance can provide valuable help. It ensures that furniture and fabrics both meet the needs of the family and blend in with the rest of the cabin, while professional interior designers frequently find better solutions than most people can create on their own.

According to Christina Køltzow, customers frequently require assistance with the balance and distance between the furniture. Furthermore, correct rug sizes are more important than many people realise, both for creating harmony and avoiding having the edge snagged every time chairs are pulled in and out.

“Slettvoll's furniture is made at Stranda following solid handicraft traditions. It provides high quality that lasts for years to come. Everything produced here is sustainable using low-mileage raw materials from local suppliers. Because the furniture is made to order, you can also select your own fabrics. This makes it easy to find patterns and colours that suit your taste, while also getting the right durability to suit your family. We are happy to help you with this,” she says.

Slettvoll also offers delivery, where furniture and carpets are put in position and the packaging is taken away for recycling.

Slettvoll provides furnishing assistance, with personal guidance available for both large and small projects. Slettvoll's interior designers will provide detailed guidance on the placement of furniture, as well as lighting, colours, materials and fabric choices that tie the entire interior together, whether it is a summer cabin, a winter cabin, an extension, a new build, or simply replacing furniture. When the furniture is delivered, you can also get assistance with interior styling items. The service is free when you buy furniture from Slettvoll.
