Fall for the rural charm of the Western-inspired ranch style interiors
With Etsy naming Western 2.0 a Spring/Summer trend and an edgier Western Gothic vibe appearing in Pinterest’s predictions, it’s clear that Western-inspired, ranch style interiors are far from their last rodeo.
Inspired by vast landscapes, vintage Americana, and the untamed spirit of the Wild West, this trend invites you to bring a touch of frontier life into your own space. From rustic cabins to modern prairie homes, Western-style décor offers old-world charm infused with warmth, cosiness, and comfort.
Luxury Cabins in the Wild in Devon
Cove Valley has fully embraced this trend with three bespoke cabins (pictured below), designed in collaboration with HAM Interiors (see detailed interior shots below). Nestled within their 300-acre rewilding project in Devon’s Exe Valley, these cabins pay homage to old American culture, the great outdoors, and the rustic charm of ranch-style living with hand-crafted homewares from Ham Studio’s cabin collection. Each cabin, designed for two, combines the soothing ambiance of a hotel with the healing embrace of the wild, offering the ultimate destination for a mental and physical detox.

Earthy Colour Palette
Embrace warm, muted tones that reflect the natural beauty of the American landscape. Desert-inspired hues, deep browns, and rich reds create a grounded, welcoming atmosphere.
Rugged Yet Refined Materials
Opt for weathered wood, leather, or suede, and incorporate reclaimed furniture and unique pieces of art. These materials bring a sense of history and character, each with its own story to tell.
Western-Inspired Accents
Add subtle nods to the Wild West with cowhide rugs, cowboy paraphernalia, and vintage-style photographs of horses and cattle. Keep it tasteful—too much can tip into kitsch.
Layered Textiles
Build a cosy, inviting space by layering mismatched prints and patterns. Native American motifs paired with plaids, a sheepskin rug draped over a leather armchair, or a pile of Kilim pillows and a Navajo blanket add warmth and texture.
Nature-Inspired Decor
Bring the great outdoors inside with elements like desert plants—think cacti and succulents—and rustic accents like horns or antlers to evoke a rugged, Wild West feel.
Malvern Garden Building’s Woodland Lodge
For those looking to bring this rugged elegance closer to home, Malvern Garden Buildings’ Woodland Lodge is a must-see. Available to view at the Berkshire and Abingdon showsites, this lodge epitomises ranch style with its exposed wood, Onduline corrugated roof iron, wraparound porch, bracket wall lights, and picture windows for those beautiful vistas. By blending the rustic, lived-in feel of a cabin with reclaimed-yet-refined furniture, layered textiles, and cowboy paraphernalia, you can saddle up for the perfect off-grid retreat.
Just remember, the key is balance—think Pendleton meets Ralph Lauren, rather than over-the-top yee-haw.
