Build the yurt that feels like home

A Pacific Yurt gives you a strong, simple structure. From there, it is all about the choices you make with color, light, layout, and small details. Those decisions are what turn a standard yurt into your yurt.

Choose an Exterior Palette You Actually Love

Pacific Yurts offers a range of roof and wall fabrics, so the outside can match your taste and your setting. You can keep things quiet and neutral, or lean into richer, lodge style colors.

A few simple directions that work well:

  • Neutral roof with a warm wall color, like Putty or Gray on top with Terra Cotta or Olive on the side, for a classic, natural look.
  • Light roof with cooler wall tones, like White or Tan paired with Cool Gray or Dark Linen, for a cleaner, modern feel.

Fabric swatch closeups are perfect to show these combinations, especially if you are putting together a color palette graphic or design board.

Use Windows, Doors, and the Dome to Shape Light

Light is a big part of how a yurt feels inside. Standard fabric windows bring in natural light, and you can add more or upgrade to glass windows if you want a more traditional look and better insulation. Door choices, like French doors or double window doors, also change how open and bright the interior feels and how it connects to decks or outdoor spaces.

Up top, the dome skylight pulls light into the center of the room. A tinted dome softens harsh sun, and an opener lets warm air escape. Closeup photos of the center ring, rafters, and dome are great for showing how the structure actually works and why it feels so open.

Keep the Interior Shell Simple and Comfortable

With the insulation and fabric liner installed, you have a clean, finished backdrop. Most owners keep the shell light and let flooring, rugs, and furniture carry the style.

A few easy wins:

  • Wood or wood look flooring for warmth and a natural base
  • One or two large rugs to soften the space and define zones
  • Furniture pulled slightly in from the lattice, not pressed hard against the wall

Because the footprint is round, it helps to think in zones, not rooms. A sleeping zone, a sitting zone, and a work or dining zone are usually enough.

Let Furniture, Textiles, and Details Show Your Personality

Once the basics are in place, the details do the heavy lifting.

  • Choose furniture with softer edges or curves so it feels natural in a round space.
  • Repeat your main colors in pillows, blankets, rugs, and art so everything feels intentional.
  • Mix textures wood, fabric, metal, plants so the space feels layered instead of flat.

This is also where parts closeups shine. The pattern of the lattice, the grain in the rafters, the curve of a glass window frame, or the texture of your fabrics all make strong detail shots. They help people see quality and personality, not just “a yurt interior.”

Build the Yurt That Feels Like Home

Pacific Yurts gives you a flexible structure and a set of fabric, window, door, and insulation options. The rest is up to you. Start with an exterior palette you want to see every day, shape the light with windows and the dome, keep the interior shell simple, and then let your furniture and details tell your story.

Step by step, you really can:
