      Redesign the walls of your bathroom. Wood paneling is a classic cabin look, and you can mimic this look in your bathroom in several ways. If you're handy, you can cut and attach real strips of wood to the wall. Alternatively, you can use stick-on wood paneling, which is easier to apply and less permanent. You can also paint the walls a natural shade, such as chocolate brown or moss green.

      Select fabrics in natural shades for the bathroom. Your color palette can include rich browns and greens. You can even add shades of gold and burnt orange to reflect autumn at the cabin. Use these fabrics for the shower curtain and hand towels. Find a bath mat in a complementary or similar shade.

      Add unique, rustic accessories. Look for handmade items reflective of a simpler cabin lifestyle. You might find a soap dish carved out of wood, for example. Natural items in any shade are ideal -- a pop of color in your accessories is an easy way to add some style to you cabin-esque bathroom. Scour craft festivals and flea markets for one-of-a-kind accessories with a rustic touch.

      Include a distinctive piece of wall art. Pull out that old family quilt that you never use, and hang it on the wall. Hang curtains in a plaid fabric. Place wooden frame around an image of your favorite nature scene.
