Updated: Oct 15

Create a cozy, inviting space that captures the beauty and spirit of Lake Tahoe.

Embrace Tahoe’s Rustic Charm


Bring the outdoors in with natural materials like wood, leather, and stone. Choose warm, earthy tones—browns, creams, and forest greens—that echo the Sierra landscape. Incorporate handcrafted furniture and local artisan décor from The Potlatch to give your home an authentic Tahoe feel.


Choose a Calming Color Palette


Stick to a neutral base accented with blues and greens inspired by the lake and pines. This palette keeps rooms open, relaxing, and timeless while allowing handcrafted details and natural textures to shine.

Create a Cozy Atmosphere


Mountain homes are meant for comfort. Layer soft throw blankets, pillows, and rugs in rich textures to make every space inviting. Use candles and warm lighting from The Potlatch to create a welcoming glow on chilly Tahoe evenings.


Let Nature Inspire Your Space


Maximize natural light and views of Lake Tahoe’s surroundings. Add local artwork and photography to celebrate the region’s beauty, and use touches like pinecones, branches, and pottery to infuse nature indoors. Visit The Potlatch Home Décor Gallery to find wall art, wooden maps, and Tahoe-inspired accents that connect your home to its environment.

Add Personal and Local Touches


Make your home truly yours by incorporating local artisan pieces, Native American jewelry displays, or handcrafted pottery that tell a story. The Potlatch’s collection of artwork, textiles, and home décor helps you add character and authenticity to every room.
