Crisp and cozy. Pile on fall faves.

Vintage Cabin

Conjure your own remote hideaway.

Light the fireplace and ignite your imagination.

Step into a world where rustic charm meets a touch of mystery in the heart of the forest. This Design Challenge invites you to capture the essence of cabin life in all its diverse forms. From the cozy warmth of a hygge-style retreat to the subtle suspense of an eerie, isolated cabin, let your creativity roam through the nostalgic and the nuanced.

Imagine your designs rich with elements of wood grain, antique tools, and soft, woven textiles, evoking the tranquility of a secluded escape into the wilderness. Alternatively, you might venture into the mysterious aspects of cabin life—where the shadows of tall tales and the whispers of the woods add layers of intrigue to your art. Consider incorporating aged maps, flickering lanterns, and forgotten journals that hint at the secrets of past inhabitants. Or, create typography-based designs that speak to the feelings of a cabin stay.

Whether you're illustrating the peaceful solitude of a lakeside view or adding a hint of thrill with a subtle nod to the unknown, let your art open doors to both the heartwarming and heart-racing elements of cabin life. Create a world where every detail weaves a story, from the glowing hearth to the gentle creak of floorboards.
