Hunting Lodge

Country residences where aristocrats could rest and savor a meal during a hunt first appeared in the imperial period. They were elegant pavilions or miniature palaces in the spirit of the era, adorned with décor befitting the high court aesthetics of the era. 

German hunting lodges, for example, were more reserved in style yet retained a sense of prestige. In contrast, their French counterparts were deeply tied to palace life and reflected the owner’s wealth and status. In Britain, such estates with vast grounds served not only as seasonal retreats for hound and falconry pursuits, but also as refined social hubs, complete with grand hearth rooms, private libraries, and intimate gourmet dinners.

Modern-Day Hunting Lodges

Modern hideaways are trending as luxury escapes, where guests get the best of both worlds: quiet seclusion and top-tier comfort. These houses range from curated estates with signature hunting lodge decor to private residences nestled in forests, mountains, or by lakes, from the wilds of Canada to the Alpine peaks. 

Such interior projects now tend to focus on natural materials, personalized design, and a sophisticated atmosphere, with attention paid to every detail.

What contemporary hunting decor focuses on:

• Materials with tactile, natural textures
• Cozy, deep earth-tone palettes
• Curated luxury accents

Among architectural choices, the most coveted styles include Chalet, Scandinavian minimalism, Barn house, and the sleekly rustic Cabin-modern.

While each architectural concept interprets comfort differently, refined decor remains a defining feature—featuring artistic and handcrafted pieces such as designer vases, wool or linen textiles, stone trays, aroma candles, Limoges porcelain, handblown glassware, dining lights, stone sculptures, bronze figures, and sculptural bowls.

New Vision of Refined Hunting Lodge Décor

At MDMAISON, we believe that for a hunting clubhouse to feel like a one-of-a-kind place, every decorative element must contribute to the overall atmosphere with intention and meaning. If you’re going for an excellent vibe, you (or your designer) should focus not only on the structure, but also on picking the right decor pieces that really tie the whole look together. Forget the old-school rustic hunting lodge decor with deer and duck paintings, but look for elegant, art-inspired items that speak to superior taste and sophistication.

Among our must-haves for a curated and prestigious interior and high-end look, we recommend incorporating iconic names such as L’Objet, Baccarat, Jaune de Chrome, J.L Coquet, Giobagnara, Gien, Riviere, Poltrona Frau, Daum, Rabitti 1969, and others—with their exquisite, collectible collections:

• Chic leather or rattan baskets and bins for storing throws, firewood, or decorative accents 
• Candleholders in crystal, porcelain, metal, or stone that give your space an adorning rhythm
• Fragrance diffusers and scented vessels in designer packaging to enhance the sensory experience
• Crystal, porcelain, or minimalist table lamps, sconces, and pendant lighting for layered illumination
• Trays, organizers, and writing tools made of leather, marble, glass, or porcelain for your work-from-home corner
• Picture frames in vintage, brass, or clean-lined designs for your favorite family photos or hunting scenes
• Marble, wood, or leather trays and boxes for organization, serving, and storage with sculptural elegance
• Sculptural vases in glass, ceramic, or stone that add an artistic accent to the space
• Placemats that lend structure and intention to every tablescape
• Leather-wrapped carafes and tumblers styled in a refined and elegant manner
• Statues, little figures, and decorative bowls that double as artistic centerpieces
