Features of the material that is important to consider
Even if the house is not built out of wood, it can always be used as a finishing material. It is so often the Western designers in the design of cottages come.
Benefits of a tree
- Creating a cozy situation, because this is a natural soft material.
- If a log house or a bar is used, then also a pleasant fragrance.
- Such an interior is easy to stylize, and for this you will not need to conduct a major overhaul.
Coated Nuances
- Plastic and artificial materials will not always be appropriate, often sharp contrast gives them to "low cost".
- It is worth carefully treating wood against insects and mold.
- In addition, the tree is capricious and responds to any changes to the weather: swells from moisture, he sinks at the heat.
However, with competent processing such problems should not occur.
Actual living room design in a wooden house
Country, chalet, Provence or Russian village, Scandinavian and modern are traditionally the most suitable styles for the decoration of the house of the tree. But not all of them are relevant.
Rustic style, especially if the house is made from a natural bar, looks a bit outdated. In general, the abundance of the tree of natural texture in the decoration - the reception, which was popular 10 years ago. It is used today to be dosed, more often in combination with other natural stone textures.
A modern and Scandinavian style came to replace the once popular country and Provence. And in the photo Scandy-design living room in a wooden house does not have to look like a catalog of IKEA. A more versatile and fashionable option is its combination with minimalism.
Finish
If you can still meet the walls from a naked timber in the bedroom, then in the living room, the main array of wood is rarely left unpainted or untreated. There are several options for floor finish, ceiling and walls.Walls
The simplest coating is paint. And the most popular color in the decoration of the living room in a wooden house is white. It gives the whole air room and the feeling of lightness, even if it is small. You can add a little ocher, then the shade will be warmer. And, if there is not enough natural light in the room, with the help of color you are a little compensate for this flaw.
Another option is a dark or color kel, but it should be more careful here, because in small rooms there is a chance to get a pressure interior.
If you do not want to paint the wood structure and you value a natural texture, pay attention to the shade of the dye, it should not be too whiten or gray. It is desirable to pick up the most close color to the wood tone.
If the house is small, then the materials are better to select not contrast. It is best to paint the room into light tones.
Floor
The most obvious option for the house of wood is the floor finish by parquet. Moreover, for the residential room, where there are no aggressive effects on the coating. And even if the space is combined with the kitchen, in the wet zone you can put a tile or porcelain stoneware.
Laminate can be considered as an analog, but it should be a product of very good quality, as close as possible on the texture to a natural tree. Otherwise, the contrast between the coatings will be too obvious. And the interior is hardly beneficial.
Ceiling
It is more interesting to work with the ceiling. Unlike the city apartment, experiments can be allowed in the interior of a private house.
- Open beams are one of the bright trends. And it is no longer a rough version, they do not need to hide. On the contrary, unpainted textured beams can become a highlight of the interior. They are relevant to the interior decorated in any style: both in Scandinavian, and in modern, and in a rustic. But be sure to consider the architectural features of the building. For example, in the living room with a second light in a wooden house, the ceiling height is often more than 5 meters, so that the beams should be massive.
- The board looks easier, she attracts attention to him. And if you need a simple ceiling, an analogue of a drywall or a suspension system, we advise you to choose exactly such a finish. You can use a painted or textured board.
Fireplace
Many are convinced that it is impossible to design and arrange a living room with a fireplace in a wooden house: wood lights easily, and the home focus increases the risks several times. It is true, but only partly.Rules for installing fireplaces in wooden houses
- To ensure safety, the classic fireplace is isolated from flammable surfaces. For this use brick or stone.
- The floor around the hearth is discharged with tiles, porcelain stoneware or stone - at about a distance of 150 cm.
- At the project stage for the fireplace, a separate special foundation should be provided. This ensures the lack of additional load on the building, which without that in the first three years will be gradually planted.
Rules relate to the installation of gas and wood fireplaces. More easy to install biocamines and electrical models. True, it can only be heated, and biocamine performs purely aesthetic functions.
