Custom Hardware, Rustic Charm: Building Your Dream Cabin with Old West Iron

Building or renovating a cabin is an exciting journey that allows you to create a space brimming with character and personal touches. One of the most impactful ways to infuse your cabin with unique charm is through custom iron hardware. Whether you’re constructing a brand-new retreat or breathing new life into an old structure, the right hardware can transform your space into a true reflection of your style. Old West Iron offers a variety of design collections that make it easy to craft a distinctive mountain paradise. Here are our top recommendations for four popular cabin design styles.

Rustic Hideaway

This style is often favored for hunting and fishing cabins, remote family getaways, and refurbished structures. It’s free of pomp and frills, carrying a simplistic, cozy air that makes it the perfect place to vacation or call your forever home. For this style, we recommend our Colonial Iron Design Collection. The most common finishes for this style are black, wrought iron, or raw/unfinished, which enhance the rustic, unpolished look. Key pieces include:

Colonial Iron Center Plates: These provide structural support while adding a touch of historic charm.

Colonial Iron L Plate: Perfect for giving corners a robust, rustic look alongside the support they need.
Authentic Old World Cabinet Handle: Adds an antique feel to cabinetry.

Twig Cabinet Handle: Brings a touch of nature indoors with its organic form, for those who want to add a subtle but unique statement piece.

Classic Iron Door Pull: A timeless addition to your doors.

Simple Cup Pull: Adds a subtle, yet effective rustic touch to drawers.

Western Ranch Cabin

Western Ranch Style cabins embody rugged principles but replace unadorned hardware with more ornate and artistic shapes and colors. Often decorated in copper and turquoise tones, these cabins are tranquil, colorful escapes filled with western culture. We recommend our Authentic Arrowhead Design Collection for this style. The most common finish colors for this style are copper/aged copper, raw, and oil-rubbed bronze. Essential pieces include:

Authentic Arrowhead Beam Strap: Perfect for enhancing the look of exposed beams.
Authentic Arrowhead L Plate: Provides both functional support and decorative appeal.
Authentic Arrowhead Push Plate: Adds a unique touch to entryways.
Authentic Arrowhead Door Pull: A standout piece for any door.
Antique Hammered Copper Cabinet Handles: Offers a rich, warm accent to cabinetry.

Vintage Farmhouse

Comfortable, homey, and bright, this design style evokes the essence of a cozy country farmhouse. For this style, we recommend our Cottage Iron Design Collection and our Plain Straight Design Collection. The most common finish colors are antique (custom finish), raw/unfinished, and aged bronze. Key components include:

Cottage Iron Beam Strap: Adds structural integrity and vintage charm.
Cottage Iron Straight Strap: Enhances the rustic feel of your home.
Plain Straight Cabinet Handle: Offers a clean, simple aesthetic.
Farmhouse Door Pull: Complements the farmhouse style with its straightforward design.
Monogram Name Sign: Personalizes your space with a custom touch.

Bohemian Getaway

Whimsical, colorful, and maximalist, this design style is perfect for anyone who wants to feel at peace and at home in the nature surrounding their new woodland home. Drawing from rustic cottage styles and unafraid to mix it up, this style is anything but boring. We recommend our Shabby Chic Design Collection and Cottage Iron Design Collection for this style. Common finish colors for this design style are antique (custom finish), raw/unfinished, and aged bronze. Must-have items include:
