It is recommended to have more windows to allow natural light to enter the home to have the same feels of outdoor sensation.
A little iron and glass may be added as in the stair railings and in the windowpane respectively. Adding iron lamp bases and glass table tops to wooden table makes a good combination, too.

Consider wooden furniture
To add to the natural effect of your room, you may use wooden furniture instead of the typical ones made with iron. For instance, in your living room, try using glossy sofa made out of timber matched with throw colourful throw pillows.
Decorate the entire living room with ligneous frames housing family pictures or sayings or religious verses. Find a dining wooden dining set with glass top for the family. It may also be pure lustrous wood coupled with wooden chairs with a little foam for comfort.

Brighter colours
To make the room look modern and fashionable, you should mix up your home log decorations with small porcelains, collectibles, ornamentation and furnishings with brighter colours. Colours ranging from yellow to orange and red are good choices.
Light matters
To intensify the colours and the log decorations, adding a lighting fixture may help. A small lighting made of fabric and metal for low ceiling homes or a big wooden chandelier with yellow lights for high ceiling homes are places right above you living or dining room to complement with your home decorations. Putting wall lightings in kitchen and bedrooms may also be considered.

Consider some space
Log decorations can look space-consuming for the eyes. If you intend a richer look of your room, consider adding allowance on the spacing of your decorations.
Cleanliness
Due to the inherent colour of the wood which looks a little untidy, it is wiser to maintain the cleanliness of the room every now and then. Normally, a clean house is a good-looking house. A decent arrangement of the log decorations can make the room spacious and clean.
