Having built a house of wood, most likely, you wanted to do something natural and natural in its interior decoration. At the same time, one should not forget about the beauty of the interior, which can be created from the most ordinary materials, with certain knowledge.
Decorating the walls of a wooden house from the inside can be a truly fascinating activity. In this article we will talk about how you can transform the look of your “fortress”.

Work stages

As in all works, a certain sequence should also be adhered to in this one.
Violation can significantly affect the appearance of the structure:

  • Before starting the installation of any material, it is necessary to pre-treat the walls. Remember that wood is a material that is afraid of moisture, mold and insects.
    Plus, assembling a house from a tree will not create ideal protection against cold and drafts.
  • All cracks are clogged with tow or moss, which will create a thermal barrier and reduce heat loss by up to 40%. If you plan to sheathe walls and ceilings using frame structures, this will allow you to mount additional layers of hydro, heat and vapor barrier.
  • If there is no frame, then insulation treatment, you can perform using mixtures, mastics and impregnation. Resistance to fungi and insects is achieved in a similar way, using special antiseptic solutions.
  • Such processing of wood initially saves you from the problem of the appearance of rodents, which is very important for a country house.
  • Many materials combine these properties at the same time. This saves you from having to do the same job multiple times.
  • All of the above measures will increase the life of your repair, and the house as a whole, and create a favorable climate for its inhabitants.

Finishing materials

Today, a great variety of materials are on the market. It will be very difficult, if not impossible, to understand them in an inexperienced person.
Therefore, we will try to make the most detailed analysis of all common options:

  • One of the most affordable ways is to finish the walls of a wooden house with plasterboard. This material is enjoying unprecedented popularity today.
    It is unpretentious and easy to handle, durable and flexible at the same time. There are even moisture resistant and fireproof sheets (GKLVO).

  • Another advantage of using this material is that you get perfectly even walls and ceiling. And all this for quite reasonable money.
    The average price of one square meter of drywall will cost you about 100 rubles (excluding the cost of the frame).
  • You may not have to spend money on the frame, since wooden house It has a lot of wooden beams, and it can even be of frame type, which will simplify the installation process of drywall as much as possible. In this case, the set of tools required for installation is also reduced.
    All you need is a screwdriver, a hacksaw for wood and a regular clerical knife.

  • It is very important that when creating frames, you have the opportunity to hide all the technical nodes, such as: elements of the heating system; ventilation, electrical wiring; water and sewer pipes; unnecessary overlaps that do not carry any aesthetic value.
  • Also, the free space under the main skin is well ventilated, which saves you from excess moisture. In addition, you can create niches, integrate lighting, consumer electronics and even air conditioning.

Lining and plywood

Drywall decoration of the walls of a wooden house is a profitable and uncomplicated business, but there will always be people who ask: “And where is the natural appearance? Where is unity with nature?
We built an ordinary city house! ”
In this case, natural materials will come to your aid:

  • One of the most common and beautiful options is wall decoration with clapboard. Lining is a planed wooden panel with a comb-groove fastening system.
    The standard panel width is 96 mm, the length ranges from 2 to 6 meters.

  • Lining is of several types, differing from each other by the profile of the board, the thickness and width of the working surface. Note the most common.
  • The standard is an ordinary board with straight chamfers (see photo above). Block house - a wider board, made in the form of a rounded bar. Imitation of a bar - the name speaks for itself.
    This view is also wider than the standard.
  • The entire lining is divided into four quality classes: Extra, A, B and C. From best to worst. Also pay attention to the type of wood.
    About the properties of each variety separately, you can find additional information on our website.
  • Mounting the lining to a wooden base is also quite simple. From the tools you need a screwdriver and an electric jigsaw.
    Board fastening is carried out using an invisible metal kleimer, fixed with ordinary wood screws.
  • Decorating the walls with plywood in a wooden house is another way to achieve great looks and functionality using materials made from wood.
  • Although plywood is not as eco-friendly as lining, its basic properties are not inferior to natural wood. This material can easily sheathe large areas.
  • The main thing to remember when choosing plywood is the same omnipresent moisture. If you have not isolated the room from leaks and condensation, then be prepared for the appearance of dark spots and stains, and over time, plywood in these places will rot.
    Therefore, approach the issue of decoration wisely. It is important not only the appearance, but also the functionality of the room.

  • This room implements all the advantages of wood frame construction. We see many niches (seeHow to finish a niche in the wall and in the partition), shelving and shelves.
    Built-in lighting visually divides the space into zones, and emphasizes each of them favorably.
  • The far wall is finished with clapboard, and in its center there is a screen canvas for the projector. He himself sheltered on a supporting beam, which is also decorated with plywood.
    The floor is also sewn up with the same material, but laying has already been done more carefully, without obvious seams.

Attention! Due to the high combustibility of these materials, we do not recommend using them in potential places of exposure to high temperatures.

Panels

    You can choose matte or glossy surfaces. Thanks to the various textures of the panels, it is possible to simulate absolutely any surface.
  • MDF is a fiberboard coated with a layer of laminating film. Material that is best not to be used in rooms where moisture may be exposed to it.

Wallpaper
