A bedroom built around a living tree and a sleeping area placed beside an openable polycarbonate wall are among ten cabin bedrooms selected from the Dezeen archive for our latest lookbook.
As cabins tend to have small footprints, their bedrooms have to be smartly designed to offer solutions to smaller and often open-plan spaces – without compromising on comfort.
These ten examples all make the most of the existing space while taking advantage of the surrounding views.
This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series providing visual inspiration for the home. Previous lookbooks include verdant office interiors, mezzanines and interiors that use biomaterials.
Forest cabin retreat, The Netherlands, by The Way We Build
The interior of this Dutch cabin was constructed using a collection of poplar wooden arches that support the roof and add a playful domed look to the living space.
It has an open-plan living arrangement with a bed area nestled beneath an arched nook that forms an intimate, enclosed sleeping space.
Floor-to-ceiling windows line the walls of the structure and provide views out to the surrounding landscape between the arched cutouts.

Space of Mind, Finland, by Studio Puisto
Built primarily to serve as an off-grid cabin hideout, this cabin was organised as a small studio. The sleeping area is arranged below the sloping roof in order to maximise the use of its tall ceiling height.
A large floor-to-ceiling window reflects the silhouette of the structure and forms an irregular quadrilateral across the side of the cabin, framing the exterior views. Wooden pegs line the walls and lock the furniture into place, allowing the space to be reorganised with ease.

Cabin on the Border, Turkey, by SO?
Plywood covers the interior of Cabin on the Border, where a platform bed beside a polycarbonate window at one end of the space looks out to the surrounding meadow.
The polycarbonate panel can be raised and propped up using a pulley to let fresh air enter the space and create a sheltered extension of the living space.
Storage was fitted below the platform bed and a ladder beside it leads up to a mezzanine level containing a bed nestled beneath the ceiling.

The Seeds, China, by ZJJZ Atelier
The Seeds are a collection of pods that were designed as individual hotel rooms and feature wood-clad domed interiors. A large curved wall divides the sweeping interior in two, with a sleeping area occupying half of the cabin.
A tapered arch leads between the two spaces and to the bedroom. The bed was placed against the curved wood wall and looks out to the surrounding forest through a large circular window.
