The perfect interior for a house made of timber

The desire of people to get as far away from the busy city life has made it fashionable to build houses from natural materials or their imitation. Structures made of timber are especially popular. To acquire a high-quality, reliable and comfortable house made of timber, you need to consider many factors. The material for the construction of the structure can be a log, profiled or non-profiled beam, glued beam. One of the selection criteria may be the time it takes to fully prepare the house for decorating. The fastest way to start working with the interior is glued beams, since it does not require time for shrinkage. This material is distinguished by external signs. In this case, a significant disadvantage may be the high cost of the material.

The most affordable is an unprofiled beam. The difference in price is compensated by the need for wall decoration made of this material.

Some people find the interior in rooms made of glued beams monotonous. This is due to the fact that the unprocessed walls will always look the same and oblige the owner of such a house to choose the situation accordingly. But designers do not consider this a drawback, especially since the natural look and naturalness always remain in fashion.

Despite the limited possibilities for choosing an interior, structures from timber can be designed in several styles:

• Scandinavian;
• chalet style;
• Russian;
• classical.

Unusual elements of such styles can be architectural delights in the form of carefully crafted ends of the bars. Or fireplaceas the central detail in the living room.

Lacquered parquet or flooring will be a great addition to this style. The furniture should not give the impression of weight. Aerial wicker furniture and wooden tables will complement the picture in a practical and beautiful way. For decoration, you can use elements in the style of "avant-garde".

The chalet style is rooted in the Alps. The interior of the rooms is in the spirit of a simple shepherd’s house and decorated with wooden and stone elements. On the walls, in addition to plaster or whitewash, there may be processed boards. As a floor covering, a wooden array impregnated with stain is used. Ceiling beams made of timber in such a room are decorative in nature, they do not need to be closed. An integral part of the living room in such a house will be a fireplace.

Houses made of timber are most associated with a log house, so the Russian style in the interior will be harmoniously combined with the building itself. The simplicity and massiveness of the elements is characteristic of the rustic style. Among the furniture should be dressers, benches, chests. Mandatory decor will be carved shutters on the windows. Massive planks on the floor and untreated wooden walls should remain in natural colors. An original element may be a fireplace in the form of a Russian stove. It can be decorated in the style of "Gzhel" or "Khokhloma". Furniture should be devoid of even a hint of modernity. This primarily affects the materials for its manufacture. Roughly processed wood in this case will be the best option. Textiles perfectly complement the overall picture: napkins, embroidered towels, scarves, patchwork quilts and much more. An honorable place on the table can take a samovar. Painting and wood carving is a great way to emphasize the chosen style and add personality to the room.

The plastered walls are typical of the classical style. The color of the walls may be saturated. Instead of plaster, fabric for upholstery is suitable. White ceilings and lacquered parquet floors are also typical features of this style. The abundance of textiles and draperies will create a sense of sophistication and chic that is characteristic of style. Expensive furniture in monograms and with bent legs should wear a touch of antiquity. Gilded fittings indicate its great value. In addition, the interior may include crystal, bas-reliefs, paintings in gilded frames and clocks on the walls.

The modern style of the interior is characterized by minimal use of colors, not more than three. Minimalism here retains its main features - practicality and functionality. Simple lines in the setting and lack of accessories, chromed metal surfaces and glass - all this characterizes the modern style of the interior decoration of the room.

In order for the material chosen for the construction of the house to retain an attractive appearance and properties for a long time, it is necessary to regularly conduct some procedures.

• colorless varnish;
• plaster;
• helmet;
• various fire and antifungal impregnations.
