Finishing the interior of a wooden house

The interior decoration of a rustic wooden house, and its design is the first thing the owner thinks about when completing construction. In this article we will try to give you some good ideas for interior design.
We will tell you what materials are best used, and how to finish a wooden house inside with their help.

The nuances of interior decoration

Depending on the type of construction wood from which the house was built, it may take up to eight years for shrinkage. But the largest percentage falls on the first year, especially if the moisture content of the material was quite high.

• And only if built glued beam house or dry logs, finishing inside wooden houses can be done in two to three weeks. In order to avoid mistakes, and the need to correct their consequences, before starting to finish the house needs to be melted, even in the summer.
  The circulation of warm air currents will speed up the drying process of wooden structures.
• To completely protect the wood, it is better to impregnate it with a composition of the type: Pirilax, Tikkurila or Pinotex. These impregnations protect a tree from decay and fast ignition.
  This is usually done before finishing.
• But, if you decide not to use other finishing materials, but to decorate exclusively supporting structures - there is such a type of finish, this is done after cleaning and polishing the surface of the walls. In this case, the impregnation should be tinted, with a decorative effect.

Scandinavian style of interior decoration

By the way, if there is no need to purchase decorative materials for wall decoration, then the price of such decoration will be lower. Having made the decision to finish the surface of the wood from which the walls were built, you can get something like the interior of the house, as in the photo above.

Stylish interior

This decoration method, which we mentioned above, belongs to the Scandinavian architectural style. In the countries of the Scandinavian peninsula: Novregia, Finland, Denmark, mainly they build houses from glued beams or frame-panel houses.
So:

• The cold northern climate, the proximity of the sea, the piercing wind and lack of sun have left their mark not only on the structure, but also on the interior decoration of the Scandinavian house.
• The Scandinavian style is fundamentally different from other architectural styles, and it has more and more fans among our compatriots. In a Scandinavian-style house, there are certainly large windows, stained-glass windows, or a completely glass exterior wall, designed to increase the flow of daylight into the rooms.

So you can finish the frame-panel house

• The house must certainly be light, and therefore the tinting of the wood surface is made colorless or light yellow. Or the tree is painted with white paint, the contrast of which will be furniture or other accessories.
  And we will give two examples of Scandinavian-style decoration.
• The example above shows a living room combined with a kitchen, the decoration of which uses parquet board. And, as you see, not only as a floor covering.
  This board is lined with walls, and even the ceiling. One wall, completely consisting of glazed aluminum stained-glass windows, breaks the monotony of space and visually expands the boundaries of the room.

• In the second example, interior decoration wooden country house, made in a completely different way. Parquet board is used only in the flooring.
  And the walls and ceiling are sheathed with drywall, and painted with white matte paint. White color and large windows make the living room very bright.
  This is perhaps the easiest room decoration option, and do it yourself, can not only be lazy.
• Drywall is mounted in a frame way, which allows not only to obtain a smooth and even base for finishing. Using a metal frame or a wooden lath, the walls of the house can be insulated from the inside.
  Using drywall, the areas are zoned, performing working partitions.
• You can use this material while decorating the room in almost any style. Here, for example, is the Arabic style.
  Curved ceiling in two levels, also made of drywall. The living room has a zoning partition and a decorative niche.

Cork wall coverings

• Cork coating is used here as a wall finish - each zone has its own shade. The niche is decorated with a silvered baguette frame.
  Inside the niche is a fake fireplace, which is framed by 3D panels. The interior decoration is completed by elegant lamps, floor vases, a sofa with many soft pillows.
• If additional structures are not created in the room, not plasterboard, but cement-bonded or magnesite boards can be mounted under the cork coating. They can also serve as an excellent basis for the installation of the floor.

Russian rustic style

• Our country is also rich in forests; in Russia, wooden buildings have long been built. And the decoration inside the wooden houses has always been more focused on the rustic style, reflecting the lifestyle of the Russian hinterland.
• Or it was a merchant style, the main decoration of which was carved elements of interiors and facades, not to mention furniture. This style is for those who are richer - after all, carving made by hand is still expensive today.
