Interior decoration of the house from a bar - the main types. Interior decoration of a wooden house from a bar: sequence and prices House from a bar inside

What is the interior decoration of the house? These are works aimed at creating coziness and comfort of the room. It seems that everything is simple and this is true if the interior decoration is made in a brick building. When working in a house made of timber, special requirements are imposed on it.

Design and laying of communications

The first step is to complete these tasks. Think over the layout of water pipes, air duct, sewerage and telecommunication connections. All these benefits of civilization are laid at the beginning of the finishing work, which ultimately allows them to be hidden under the frame of a plasterboard wall or plaster. It is very comfortable. The connecting elements of the pipes will not stick out in the corners, and the wires of the Internet connection will not twist. But thinking over the wiring, take care of free access to the water supply adjusting screws. If during operation it is suddenly necessary to replace the coupling or tap, they must be freely accessible. For this, separate boxes with plastic doors are equipped. They do not spoil the design and provide free access to replace a failed crane.

Important! It is impossible to lay hidden electrical wiring in a wooden house. This is strictly regulated by fire safety regulations.

But this does not mean that the decor of the house will be spoiled. Plastic cable channels and boxes allow you to reliably and in some way hide the wiring in an original way. Safety standards are not violated in the rooms on the floor, multi-colored "snakes" of the electric cable will not twist.

What do we do with the ceiling and floor?

The eternal subject of the dispute between finishers, that at first the floor or the ceiling, is solved in this case simply. Based on the fact that during the construction of a log house a rough flooring is laid, we first proceed to the ceiling finish. Dirt and dust left after finishing the ceiling will be easier to remove from the subfloor without worrying about its safety.

You will have to choose from several options. The most expensive is plastering and painting. A reinforcing mesh is stuffed over the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe ceiling surface, after which plaster is applied. The first layer is rough, the second is leveling. After drying, finishing with putty and painting.

Another option would be clapboard trim. First, a frame is constructed from bars or profiled panels, after which the material is sheathed. In this variant, additional laying of a heat insulator is possible.

The simplest, but no less interesting in terms of decoration will be the installation of stretch ceilings. No preparatory work is needed. If there are bumps and drops, the stretch film will hide any imperfections. In addition, this option allows you to first lay the flooring, because there will be practically no debris and dirt from the installation of stretch ceilings in a house made of timber. A couple of sections of the profile and stretch fabric remaining after installation will not make the “weather”, and by removing them, you definitely will not spoil even parquet, which is sensitive in this regard.

And what about the floor? We leave the rough coating. A layer of hydro- and thermal insulation is laid on top of it, after which we lay the finishing boards. If more serious insulation is needed, then first we dismantle the old boards. Between the lags, you can lay a layer of mineral wool or make a filling of expanded clay, and then lay the floorboard. The option is selected based on the seasonal use of a log house and the climatic features of the region.

After laying the finish coating, the boards are polished with a hand tool, using special circles. After that, all the dirt is removed with a vacuum cleaner. Additionally, go over the joints with a metal bristle brush, cleaning out small chips from them. Then again vacuum cleaner and antiseptic treatment. In residential areas, water-based formulations are used, in others any option is allowed.

How does a fine finish fit linoleum, carpet, parquet, laminate, etc. But what prevents you from using the natural beauty of wood? The polished, treated with a transparent antiseptic surface is distinguished by its originality, which no finishing material can repeat. Therefore, there are plenty of reasons for reflection, and the choice for finishing the floor is also enough.

wall decoration

First of all, after building a house from a bar, the walls are polished, treated with antiseptics and caulked. Protective compounds are applied evenly in several layers. The impregnation will lie evenly without creating a variety of color ranges. Indeed, even using a colorless antiseptic or primer, the original tone of the tree changes slightly.

What is used in decoration? Let's start again with the natural look of wood. Without resorting to the use of other options, after treatment with antiseptic compounds, the inner walls of the timber can be varnished or painted. Again, be guided by safety precautions: for residential premises, use compositions without the addition of acetone and solvent.

If you decide to decorate the walls with clapboard, then first you will have to make a crate from bars or metal profiles. Alternatively, instead of panels, you can sew up the frame with drywall, paint the walls or paste over with wallpaper. But you must admit, this is not a very decorative version of a wooden house.

The interior of the house is the face of the owner of the apartment, you can say your calling card. Therefore, when starting finishing work, it will not be superfluous to read small recommendations, following which you can do everything right:

Guided by the correct technology for processing a house from a bar inside, there should be no problems after repair. Walls, floors and ceilings will perform their functions properly, protecting the house with warmth and creating comfort in every room.

Having completed the timber house, you should not think that all the work is over. On the contrary, the most interesting is just ahead! To create a cozy atmosphere, the interior decoration of a house made of timber is necessary, which requires more detailed attention.

And how to properly conduct it, read this article.

Interior work in a wooden house - an integrated approach

If you have not yet come across the term "interior decoration of log houses", then it is worth explaining that this is a whole set of cases, which includes:

  • Laying of communications (heating, water supply, sewerage, electricity);
  • Impregnation of wooden walls with antiseptics and fire-resistant compounds; (see also article)
  • Thermal insulation and waterproofing of walls, floor, ceiling (if necessary);
  • Installation of partitions and other structures;
  • Preparation of walls, ceilings, floors for decorative finishing (leveling, installation of a frame for attaching sheathing material, etc.);
  • Finishing cladding of walls, ceilings, floors;
  • Installation of interior doors, switches, lighting fixtures.

Advice!
If you have never done any of the above works before, then it is better to entrust it to qualified specialists.
Well, let it take more money than originally planned.
But so you can be sure that everything is done efficiently and reliably.
This is especially true for communications.
It is quite possible to cope with the rest of the tasks on your own.

The interior decoration of a house made of profiled timber is a responsible matter. Therefore, before proceeding with it, it would be good to draw up a design project in which all the nuances will be clearly spelled out. In particular, the location of heating pipes, electricity, sewerage and much more.

That is, you need to clearly consider all the previously given points: from draft materials to decorative coatings - their type, required quantity, cost, color, texture, etc.

Another important point to be aware of is that all wooden buildings have shrinkage.

This process can be roughly divided into two stages:

  1. Primary shrinkage - in most cases continues during the first 2 years due to the drying of the wood. Due to the fact that at this time there is a decrease in the gaps between the bars under the weight of the roof, cracks of various sizes may appear outside and inside the room. In addition, the ceiling and walls may shrink by 2-3 centimeters.
    In view of this, experts do not recommend using rigid structures (for example, drywall, plastic panels) when decorating walls and ceilings until the shrinkage of the house is completed.
  2. Secondary - associated with fluctuations in humidity and temperature of wood. As a rule, it is insignificant and is unlikely to somehow negatively affect the internal facing coatings.
    Then, what can be the interior decoration of a house made of glued laminated timber or profiled timber in the first years after construction is completed?
    The best thing to do here is:
    • Plaster load-bearing structures and cover them with special paints and varnishes that protect wood from mold and decay;
    • Mount a two-layer subfloor;
    • Leave the ceiling as it is or use a stretch fabric.

Draft and finishing floor

First of all, the draft floor rises from the timber in the dwelling. We advise you to stay on a double floor structure - it will best keep the heat inside the room.

How is it, double subfloor? That is, special logs are constructed, between which a heater with a waterproofing layer (for example, mineral wool) is laid. Then the whole thing is covered with boards, followed by a fine floor covering. Perhaps this is the simplest, most economical and effective option in terms of saving heat and sound insulation.

But as a finishing floor covering in timber houses it is very popular to use such materials:

  1. Planed sheet piling.
    It has many advantages, of which I would like to highlight the following in particular:
    • it is a 100% environmentally friendly material, which, thanks to natural data and special impregnations, "breathes" and has excellent resistance to moisture;
    • strength and durability - another advantage of the sheet pile board (besides, it is very convenient and easy to care for such a floor);
    • modern variations in the processing and tinting of the surface of the boards make it possible to harmoniously fit them into almost any interior;
    • if necessary, the flooring can always be updated by scraping or regular sanding of the boards.

  1. But if a water or infrared “warm floor” system is used as additional heating, then you can forget about the floorboard. The fact is that a decent part of the heat will be spent on heating the sheet pile.
    In this case, a laminate or parquet board is most often used for laying the finishing floor.

Important!
When choosing parquet/laminate for underfloor heating, pay attention to the presence of the appropriate marking, which should indicate that the coating has good heat conductivity.

Wall cladding options

As mentioned above, the interior decoration of the walls of a house from a bar implies their preparation (puttying, insulation, moisture and vapor barrier, etc. work) and further cladding with a finishing material / coating.

Advice!
Before finishing wall structures, answer yourself the question: “for what purposes will the built house be used?”.
If it was built to spend only weekends and summer holidays in it, then you can safely save on warming.
After all, no one will live here in the winter.
But if on the contrary, (that is, this is the main dwelling), then it is simply necessary to insulate the walls.

As for the finishing of the walls, there are many interesting solutions. True, when the house is shrinking (recall - the first 2 years after construction is completed), it is better to limit yourself to paints, varnishes or a simple stain.

This treatment is remarkable in that the natural grain of the wood is preserved. After all, the tree itself has unique patterns that are drawn by the most talented artist - nature. Why hide this beauty? This technique is especially effective if the walls of the house are built from a bar of valuable species.

Attention!
When choosing paint and varnish coatings, give preference to those that contain as few substances harmful to health as possible.

By the way!
Modern paint is matte, semi-gloss and glossy - also consider this when buying it.

In the event that shrinkage is no longer threatened, the interior decoration of a wooden house from a bar can be made with sheet materials.

Let's look at the most fashionable of them:

  1. Wall panels Isotex. They are usually made from wood without the addition of glue, therefore they have excellent environmental friendliness and hypoallergenicity. The advantages here also include good thermal insulation characteristics, sound-absorbing properties and easy installation.

Vinyl wallpaper or linen fabrics act as the outer covering of the panels. In specialized stores you will certainly find a rich assortment of these products, made in various colors and textures.

  1. Drywall - is actively used everywhere for interior work. And this is not surprising, because any architectural creations (in particular arches) can be created from it! In addition, it has a low specific gravity, is easy to process and is an environmentally friendly material. Oh yes, the price for it is very, very pleasant, despite the mass of useful qualities.

The installation instructions for drywall sheets involve attaching them to a metal or wooden frame, which is pre-built on wall structures. Such a system is convenient in that the beam and drywall will not come into contact with each other - this will save both the load-bearing walls and the sheathing from cracking.

Behind the sheet material, in the frame, you can conveniently hide electrical wiring, plumbing, and other communications (not to mention the insulation layer).

  1. Interior wall decoration with imitation timber - siding, lining, block house, MDF panels. Many of our compatriots like real Russian log huts, but, alas, this is a very expensive pleasure. Therefore, it is necessary to build from a cheaper material - profiled or glued timber, which has a rectangular cross section. (see article for more details)

Interior decoration imitation of a bar allows you to give a lumber house that missing nobility, and without spending a lot of money, time and effort. A room with such a lining is difficult to distinguish from natural logs.

Among the main advantages are:

  • Environmental friendliness - a favorable microclimate will always be kept in the room. And if you use panels made of pine or larch, then the air in the house will become truly healing! (see article for more details)
  • A wide range of applications - such panels can also be used for interior decoration of a bath from a bar with your own hands or for external cladding of buildings. And this is due to the unique properties of the material: resistance to moisture, temperature extremes, ultraviolet radiation and other harmful effects.

  • Simplified installation - a convenient groove fastening system not only facilitates the cladding process, but also makes the decorative coating monolithic and durable.

As you can see, the interior decoration of houses made of glued laminated timber can be very diverse and original, to match the chosen style of interior design.

Once we started the repair - let's not forget about the ceiling

Here, again, it is necessary to proceed from whether shrinkage occurs at the time of finishing work or not. If there is no shrinkage, you can implement any ideas with any existing materials.

And in a newly completed house, it is more rational to choose one of the two solutions below:

  1. Leave the ceiling open. It's great if the interior of the room will correspond to this approach. An unlined ceiling can harmoniously fit in and emphasize country style or Provence, for example.

  1. Make a stretch ceiling that perfectly closes the ceiling hole and does not interfere with the shrinkage of the house.

Conclusion

Any interior decoration (not only timber structures) is a complex event that simultaneously solves several important tasks. Therefore, it must be taken with all seriousness. Only then will the desired coziness, comfort and warmth reign in the house!

And in the posted video in this article there is visual information on the topic we have touched upon.

Wood is a material that is in high demand for the construction of private houses. Although stone and brick are popular along with it, many prefer timber, which creates a unique look for the home. But after the construction of the building, it is important to take care of the interior decoration of the house. For it to be successful, it is important to take into account all the features of a material such as timber and choose the most appropriate type of finish. All possible options and nuances of the interior design of the house will be discussed further.

Peculiarities

A house made of timber has a number of characteristics that are unusual for houses made of other materials. Among them there are both positive and negative qualities. The advantages of wood include:

  • The material is environmentally friendly.
  • The house, built of timber, has a very presentable appearance.
  • The construction of a building from wood elements takes less time than working with other materials.
  • There is no need to spend a lot of time laying an expensive foundation, since the timber will not create large loads.
  • Compared to other materials, wood has a lower price.

The following points are considered as nuances that cause difficulties:

When the building is erected, you need to carefully plan all the internal work that needs to be done. The main procedures for interior arrangement and decoration include:

  • Laying of communication systems. These include heating, sewerage, electricity, water supply systems.

  • Covering the walls with special compounds and antiseptics that protect against fire.

  • On request, it is possible to carry out thermal insulation and waterproofing of the floor and walls.

  • Next is the laying of the subfloor.

  • To make the work more organized, it is recommended to prepare in advance a project for the arrangement and decoration of all rooms.

  • Partition walls and other additional structures are being installed.

  • Walls, ceilings and floors must be carefully prepared before decorative finishing.
  • After that, the finishing itself is carried out.

The interior decoration of a building made of timber as a whole is a rather laborious process, therefore it is important to describe in detail all the stages of work, as well as to choose the right material for finishing various surfaces.

Types of materials

There are many materials that are used for the interior design of a private house made of wooden bars. Each raw material has its own specific characteristics and is predominantly used for a certain type of coating. The most popular materials for finishing a wooden house are:

  • lining made of plastic and wood;
  • drywall;
  • block house;
  • decorative plaster;
  • decorative rock;
  • vinyl siding;
  • dye;
  • tinting compositions;
  • varnish coatings;
  • laminate;
  • linoleum.

photos

Wooden lining is laid on a special crate made of wood. With the help of nails, rails and grooves, the bars are interconnected and attached to the crate. The lining is made of various types of wood, which include pine, spruce, linden, alder. The material significantly affects the appearance, strength and class to which the products belong. AT distinguish the following classification:

  • Extra class. Lining, in which no defects are observed.
  • Class A It implies high quality, and even the presence of small knots does not spoil the overall appearance of the coating.
  • Class B. Average quality, knots in products come across more often.
  • The lowest class is C. It implies the presence in the material of not only knots and irregularities, but also color differences.

Vinyl siding or plastic lining excellent for installation in rooms with various purposes, since these coatings are resistant to various influences. In addition, they create an additional layer of heat due to the voids in the structure. Installation of plastic lining is carried out on a metal frame. The material with a vinyl surface is resistant to moisture and sunlight. Plus, it comes in a variety of color options.

The special material is decorative artificial stone, which is made from various raw materials. This material mainly plays an accent role in the finishing of profiled timber. The stone is placed on the crate, imitating various breeds. With the help of this coating, zones in large rooms are highlighted, as well as accents are placed in the interior.

It is quite difficult to put such material on your own, therefore it is recommended to invite professionals for such work.

It is also worth paying attention to what timber the structure of the house itself is made of. The beam can be made from various types of wood. The most popular is pine. It has the following characteristics:

  • Due to the soft structure of wood fibers, the material is excellent for processing.
  • This wood is strong, forms a completely reliable frame of the dwelling.
  • Pine beams are environmentally friendly, they do not emit substances harmful to human health.
  • The shade of pine beams is usually uniform. Most often, natural material is painted in warm colors.
  • With all the positive characteristics, pine wood is sold at a very affordable price for most of the population.

Among other types of wood for the construction of a log house, cedar, larch, spruce, and fir are popular. In many ways, their characteristics are similar to pine. Also, the bars can be laid according to various technologies, which determine the choice of a suitable material for interior decoration.

Drywall is a very flexible and plastic raw material for decorating a house from ordinary bars. Before laying it, it is necessary to carefully treat the surface of the walls. The material is attached to a special frame structure. Most often, a wooden crate is used as it; a layer of insulation is laid in the space between the drywall and the wall. GLC sheets are fastened with screws, and the seams between them are subsequently processed with plaster compositions and become less noticeable.

For the finish coating, many compositions are suitable. Drywall is popular not only for finishing walls, but also for ceilings.

An alternative frame material is rounded glued timber. Its difference from the standard one is that the building in this case practically does not shrink. The walls of such bars are smooth and elegant, so their texture is most often left in sight during interior decoration.

Such a bar surface is treated with a special primer, and then paint and varnish mixtures are applied in several layers, which serve not only as a means of decoration, but also protect the surface from various influences. For the floor of such a dwelling, laminate, ceramics or parquet boards are most often chosen. And the ceiling can be decorated using GLC or lining.

Some owners of private houses decorate their interior with the help of imitation of timber relief. To create it use block house- a kind of lining, which is a planed board, one side of which ideally imitates timber. The block house is installed on the crate, but it is not necessary to place it in all cases. It will be required for laying a heat-insulating layer or masking communications. The crate is made of small bars or a galvanized profile.

The difference between a block house and an ordinary lining is that the latter can be laid both horizontally and vertically. The imitation of the beam is placed only in the horizontal direction.

Also, materials such as MDF or siding are used as an imitation, but the block house has the greatest resemblance to natural bars.

Projects

To get a solid and organic interior, it is recommended to design the design of each room in advance and choose the most appropriate style directions. In the design of a country house, the actual option will be chalet or hunting style. It looks very brutal and involves a combination of materials such as wood and stone in the design of the walls. Most often, rooms are decorated with lining, the walls are decorated with various hunting attributes, for example, animal heads or hunting equipment.

Russian style looks good in the design of the interior decoration of a private house. It assumes the presence of the structure of the bars on the walls. It is permissible to decorate the floors with a laminate imitating large boards. There must be a massive stove in the center of the room.

A house of this type can also be arranged in European, Scandinavian or Provencal style. In these cases, a special feature will be the lining or siding of light shades. Sometimes a small number of bright accents are welcome. Windows are decorated with light screens or curtains.

In style minimalism, as a rule, large features dominate. This applies not only to the surface texture itself, which may look like bars, but also to other details, such as windows and furniture. Having decided on the features of styles, you can choose the most suitable option for decorating your home.

How to sheathe?

No less important than the choice of material and style is the process of sheathing various surfaces of a wooden house with your own hands. Features of this procedure depend on the selected area. The main surfaces for decoration include walls, floor, ceiling.

Ceiling

It is better to start the process of decorating surfaces from the ceiling, especially if you prefer to paint the ceiling and walls, or varnish them. The ceiling can also be sheathed with drywall, create tension structures.

In the case of painting the ceiling, its surface must be thoroughly cleaned, coated with a primer. After 24 hours, when it dries, you can start the staining process. For its implementation, use a roller with a long nap. The process itself must be carried out fairly quickly, since the paint quickly hardens on the ceiling surface. At the same time, it is desirable that there is an assistant who could indicate color irregularities during staining (they can only be seen from below).

Instead of paint, the ceiling can be finished with a clear varnish to emphasize the structure of the wood fibers.

Walls

The walls of the room can be decorated with various materials. But regardless of the selected raw materials, it is important to remember that the first stage of work involves cleaning and degreasing the surface. The process of preparing the walls also includes laying insulation and a waterproofing layer, processing with putty. Some people prefer to simply plaster the house from the inside. But in this case, it is worth remembering that plaster is not recommended to be applied soon after the construction of the house.

When covering the beams with varnish or paint, the material should be applied in the direction of the wood fibers.

A roller can be used to apply coloring compositions, but it is better to work with a brush for processing corners and hard-to-reach areas. When choosing a varnish, pay attention to the content of harmful things in it, as well as the texture itself, which can be glossy, semi-gloss and matte. Often, fabric wallpapers are even glued onto the leveled coatings.

Floor

Arrangement of the floor is also a very important point in the interior decoration of the house from the bars. In a private house, there are two types of floor - rough and fine.

The draft design is the basis. It consists of logs, between which a layer of waterproofing and insulation is placed. Further, these layers are covered with boards from above. For a private building it is recommended to make the floor with double construction because it is more able to retain heat. The finish coat is applied directly to the boards.

Finishing is carried out in several stages.

  1. Laying a layer of waterproofing on the subfloor boards. As a material, a polymer membrane made of a film or roofing material can be used.
  2. Installation of a beam mounted on an edge of a rectangular section 5 x 10 cm. The features of the device of this layer depend on the specific finish coating.
  3. Reliable fastening of the power set to the floor. To carry out this type of work, it is recommended to use self-tapping screws of a suitable size.
  4. Laying insulation in free space. Mineral fiber, rolled glass wool or even foam plastic can be used as a heat insulator.
  5. Finishing layer flooring is the final stage.

Timber houses have gained considerable popularity today, and the reason for this is their many advantages. Indeed, such buildings are assembled in a matter of days, they look beautiful and neat, they are much cheaper than their brick counterparts, moreover, wooden buildings perfectly keep warm in winter and remain cool in summer. A wooden building, both outside and inside, can be lined with various materials. In this article we will talk about how to finish a house from a bar.

Decoration of a wooden building outside

Instead of painting or varnishing, you can resort to using various finishing materials for cladding the building from the outside. This will be especially relevant if you plan to stay in the house not only in the warm season, but also in winter. First, the wooden building will need to be insulated, and then lined with the selected material. Below we will consider several options for finishing a house from profiled timber.

Facing with stone, brick and porcelain stoneware

A house decorated with natural or artificial stone looks very beautiful and noble. Such material, in addition to excellent decorative qualities, also has high strength, water resistance, and resistance to temperature extremes. The building, lined with stone, will serve you for many years and will be reliably protected from the adverse effects of the environment.

Stone decoration can be either complete or partial. Such material is in perfect harmony with natural wood, in addition, the range of decorative stone on sale is so wide that it will make it possible to realize many design ideas.

An artificial material imitating stone is porcelain stoneware. The facade, lined in this way, looks neat and aesthetically pleasing, is not afraid of mechanical damage, exposure to low and high temperatures, humidity and precipitation. Porcelain stoneware does not need special care, because it practically does not get dirty, and if necessary it is very easy to clean.

The classic way of finishing buildings can be called brick cladding. Properly executed brickwork in combination with well-chosen material always looks relevant, matches any style and design. Among other things, the brick itself is a reliable and durable material, it has vapor permeability and the ability to retain heat. So, by finishing the building with brick, you provide it with additional thermal insulation. To make the masonry look neat, it makes sense to resort to the help of professionals and not save on the quality of the finishing material.

To finish the facade of the house with decorative plaster, you need to have certain skills and knowledge, or to involve masters in the process who will perform the work to the highest standard. The finished relief surface can also be painted, emphasizing the texture of the wall.

Home decoration with siding

Decorating a building with siding is an inexpensive and easy-to-implement way to give your home a neat and tidy look. By finishing a wooden house from a bar with siding, you will protect the building from adverse weather conditions, extend the life of the building, and also be able to realize your creative ideas, because there are a great many varieties of such material on the construction market. What is siding, we will understand further:

Timber imitation paneling

It would seem, why do you need to trim the log house with a material that imitates timber? In fact, many old buildings lose their original beauty over time. Wood darkens, stains, becomes dirty, damaged. Assembling a new house from timber is much more expensive than sheathing an old building with wood panels.

Such an imitation is also useful if you decide to insulate the building, but want to preserve its original natural style. Such panels allow you to exactly repeat the shape of rounded logs or glued profiled timber. The imitation is so real that it is almost impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye.

Before facing the building, its walls are first treated with antiseptics and flame retardants, which helps protect the house from fire, moisture, mold, fungi, microorganisms and insects.

Fachwerk style decoration

The decoration of the building in the fachwerk style looks very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. In this way, houses are decorated in many European countries, but in Russia, a similar medieval style looks quite original and original. In the work, OSB panels or cement-bonded particle boards are often used. Fachwerk style decoration provides for the following elements:

  • a frame of parts located in a vertical and horizontal plane;
  • braces made of wooden beams;
  • brick, stone or other finishing material that fills the gaps;
  • elements for visual division of the surface into geometric shapes, they are used as crossbars, racks, braces, etc.

Interior decoration of the house from a bar

As in the case of exterior decoration, the choice of materials for interior decoration of rooms is quite wide. When performing interior decoration, more attention is paid not so much to the reliability and strength of the material as to its decorative properties, the ability to fit into a certain style, compatibility with furniture and other interior elements. In creating a design, you can use not one, but several different materials, the main thing is that they are in harmony with each other.

Finishing with decorative stone

When decorating a house from glued laminated timber, you can use decorative stone. Since the surface of the walls in the structure of such a beam is quite even, the installation of the stone will not cause any difficulties. Such a finishing material has many positive qualities, among which are the following:

  • excellent decorative qualities, often artificial stone is almost impossible to distinguish from natural;
  • high strength characteristics, resistance to moisture, fire, mechanical stress;
  • environmental friendliness, safety for human health;
  • decorative stone is ideally combined with natural wood, so the combination of these two materials is a win-win option;
  • ease of care, because even in case of contamination, the stone can be cleaned with a damp cloth and detergent;
  • such material does not dissolve when aggressive chemicals come into contact with it;
  • the stone is not subject to rotting, molding, it is not afraid of attacks by insects and various microorganisms.

wall painting

The inner surfaces of the walls of a wooden house can be painted in any suitable shade that will be combined with the interior. The paint performs both decorative and protective functions, preventing the development of fungi and mold in the wood. Before painting the surface, it must be leveled with putty, covering cracks, depressions, cavities from knots, etc. Then the wall must be covered with a layer of primer, which will ensure better adhesion of the paint to the surface.

As a working material, it is necessary to choose a composition that is as harmless as possible, which, when dried, does not evaporate harmful substances and does not have a pronounced unpleasant odor. By the way, when dry, the paint can form a glossy or matte surface, so you need to choose the material that will look good in the overall stylistic design of the room.

If the house from a bar is brand new, and the wood has an attractive natural look, you can emphasize its natural texture and pattern with stain and colorless varnish.

Finishing with plastic siding and wooden clapboard

If you appreciate the natural beauty of natural wood, but the walls in the house are already quite old and have lost their original appearance, they can be decorated with wooden lining. In this case, it is important to understand that such a finish will not be final, since the wood is unstable to moisture and susceptible to insect attacks and fungal growth. After sheathing the surface with wooden clapboard, it will need to be additionally treated with various protective impregnations and opened with paints and varnishes.

Having spent a certain amount of time and effort on wall cladding with wooden clapboard, in the end you will get a beautiful, environmentally friendly and natural coating that will return the house from a bar to its former beauty. By the way, wood looks great in combination with stone trim, so you can use these two materials at the same time, creating an original design of the room.

A good finishing material is plastic siding. It does not absorb moisture, and in case of contamination it is easily cleaned, which makes it possible to use such material in the kitchen and bathroom. Light weight and ease of installation can also be attributed to the advantages of such a cladding. To decorate a room with plastic panels, you do not need to involve specialists; you can handle such work yourself, saving a lot of money. Among other things, plastic is much cheaper than its counterparts.

Wall cladding with plasterboard

Drywall is one of the most popular finishing materials. Without unnecessary expenses and efforts, with the help of drywall sheets, you can quickly and accurately align the walls to an ideal state; various structures can be built from such material, such as arches, walls, partitions, etc. Many designers use drywall to realize their creative ideas. One of the few disadvantages of this material is its ability to hide part of the living space, so it is not always at risk to use it in rooms with a small area.

Drywall itself does not carry any decorative value, so it will have to be additionally painted, wallpapered or some other facing material used.

  1. Before finishing wood, you need to take into account whether it has previously been treated with protective compounds that form a glossy surface. If you cover such logs with another layer of glossy varnish or paint, the shine will be doubly noticeable.
  2. Before applying paint, varnish or any similar material, it is advisable to first paint a small section of the wall in order to imagine what the final result will look like.
  3. You need to process the entire surface of the walls in the room in the same way so that the entire area looks the same. It is also better to use the same brush or roller in the work.
  4. It is advisable to apply the paint to the surface in at least two layers.
  5. Even if you want to preserve the natural look of wood, the bars will still need to be treated with protective impregnations.
  6. All finishing work can be carried out only after the complete shrinkage of the building. When insulating walls, vapor-permeable materials must be used so that the wood can “breathe”.
  7. Exterior finishing work can only be carried out if the outside temperature is not lower than -15°C. Walls can only be painted at a temperature not lower than +5°C.
  8. Since wood is a fire hazardous material, it must be covered with flame retardants that reduce flammability.

Wooden houses themselves look representative. From the point of view of heat retention, they do not need interior decoration. But not everyone likes the yellow-brown monotony in the interior of the home. Fortunately, the construction market offers many materials for the interior decoration of a log house - you just need to take some time to study the issue and you will definitely choose the right option for yourself.

Timber house in modern design

Features of wooden houses

The interior decoration of a house made of timber does not fundamentally differ from a brick or block frame. You just need to take into account a few features:

  • complete shrinkage of the log house lasts several years;
  • over time, the gaps between the bars expand;
  • wood requires mandatory protection from moisture.

Because of such nuances, it is impossible to hurry with the beginning of interior decoration, otherwise cracks will go along the walls and ceiling. To avoid trouble, it is necessary to cover the wood with a protective varnish in the first year after the construction of the frame.

Builders are advised to adhere to a certain order when finishing a wooden house:

  • Laying utilities on top of the subfloor
  • Main flooring decking
  • Timber processing (filling cracks, puttying, applying an antiseptic, decorative finishing)
  • Ceiling decoration (puttying and varnishing of beams, installation of finishing coating)

Plus glued laminated timber - it shrinks less than other types of wood

In a new house, it is better to leave the original appearance of the timber - eco-friendly, natural, even. And if the log house has stood for several decades, then it is advisable to close it from the inside with modern finishing materials, since it will be difficult and expensive to restore the appearance of a tree.

Types of interior decoration

Glued laminated timber does not need additional cladding. It looks perfect even without varnishing. If the walls are made of profiled wood, you will have to think about finishing.

Protective impregnation to a tree is necessary in any case. It creates a barrier against fungus, mold, moisture and even fire. May lighten or leave the surface color unchanged.

It is easy to hide a low-quality profiled timber under panels imitating natural wood from a lining, block house or siding - this way the house inside will not only support the eco-style, but will also become warmer.

It is also possible to create a modern interior in a wooden cottage. The beam can be easily sheathed with plasterboard or OSB panels, painted, wallpapered, overlaid with artificial stone. And hide the wiring inside.

Floor installation

Before starting finishing work, be sure to think over the design of a house made of timber: the interior decoration of the house directly depends on the project. Based on it, the cost estimate is calculated.

A conscientious construction company has specialists in 3D interior design, estimators, and experienced installers. They will quickly and efficiently fulfill all your wishes, making your dreams come true.

Installation starts from the subfloor. Regardless of the selected finishing materials, the surface of the lag is first treated with protective impregnation from moisture. A heater (mineral wool or polystyrene) is laid between them. Then a chipboard or OSB substrate is attached. And on top of it, a finishing coating is already being laid. It can be a natural board, linoleum, laminate, parquet or artificial stone.

An additional plus! A double floor will help keep the heat in the house.

Popular flooring

In a wooden cottage, the floor is often laid with a planed tongue-and-groove board made of pine or spruce. It is not demanding to care, it retains its original appearance for several decades. And when it gets dark, you just need to sand the top layer and re-coat with a protective compound.

Tongue-and-groove board without varnish

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer home finishing and insulation services. You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".

The only contraindication is the device of a warm floor. This is a fire hazard and impractical, because most of the energy will be spent on warming up the tree.

Laminate and parquet conduct heat well. These coverings are similar in appearance to a plank floor, only with a more interesting pattern. You can create an original pattern from parquet planks. And the laminate is strong enough, it is not pressed through from the heels and legs of the furniture. Imitates different types of wood, metal and stone.

Artificial stone on the floor ennobles the interior. It is best to lay this material in the bathroom, hall or kitchen. To keep your feet warm, you need a heating system. The main advantage of the stone floor is its durability and unique pattern. With this design of the floor, plaster and stone are required on the walls and ceiling.

Artificial stone on the floor looks luxurious

Linoleum is the most budgetary imitation of wood. Its service life is not more than 10 years, so it is often laid as a temporary coating.

wall decoration

Wooden walls are first impregnated with an antiseptic, and then treated with varnish, paint, mastic or oil. Choose a solution based on the expected effect. If you need a tinted matte surface, then mastic or acrylic paint is suitable. For an elegant gloss, the timber is coated with oil or varnish. The texture of the wood does not change from such solutions, but moisture is not terrible in the coming years. Wax-based mastic has a porous structure that allows air to pass through, and oil gives a beautiful golden sheen.

When the impregnation has dried, the finishing of the house from the profiled timber from the inside begins. For lining you need a wooden crate. In the intervals between the slats, steam and heat-insulating sheets are laid. The boards themselves are nailed to the rails along the edges. And they are connected to each other with the help of grooves. You can arrange the lining vertically, horizontally or diagonally. If you combine these methods, you get a unique pattern.

Lining on the wall is ideal in a wooden house

The lining is made from different types of wood (spruce, pine, aspen, linden, alder). This affects shades, heat resistance and strength. You should also consider the class of the material:

  • C-class is of low quality (with gaps, dark spots and knots);
  • B-class of average quality (knots come across);
  • A-class of high quality (there are knots, but they look aesthetically pleasing);
  • extra class (ideal material without defects).

The lining has a popular variety called block house. Planed board, the outer side of which imitates a beam or log. Side fastening in the form of a groove securely connects the parts together. They are laid horizontally, starting from the bottom up. Made from coniferous wood. Ideal for finishing walls made of low-grade profiled timber. Does not require additional protection.

Block house cannot be distinguished from a rounded log from afar

Another finishing material that builders like to use to finish a wooden house from a bar is drywall. It is versatile, inexpensive and easy to install. Mounted on aluminum or wooden profiles, which are easily screwed to the timber. In the free space, you can lay insulation and hide electrical wiring. The sheets themselves are mounted with self-tapping screws. Then plastered and applied top coat. For example, wallpaper, self-adhesive paper, ceramics or paint. From drywall create niches, arches, shelves in the wall, if there is such a need. The design is from 10 cm thick, so it is better not to use this material in a small room. But as a partition - ideal.

Unusual drywall arch

Siding and plastic lining are also actively used in finishing work. These materials are cheaper than natural wood, and the texture is very similar to it.

Siding panels are mounted horizontally. You can choose the color and texture to your taste: wood, brick, metal or stone.

Plastic lining (PVC panel) with a standard width of up to 10 cm, and inside it consists of honeycombs. Air voids improve thermal insulation in the house. The vinyl surface does not require varnishing, is not afraid of moisture and the sun, and its coloring is amazing - from monotonous white to bright flower bouquets. A plastic lining is mounted on a metal frame. This material is suitable for corridor, bathroom and living room. You can sheathe the entire room or just the basement.

Bathroom cladding with PVC panels

Artificial stone is made from essential resins and natural chips. It looks like the real thing, but is cheaper and lighter in weight. It is identical in texture and color to marble, crushed stone, brick, shell rock, granite, etc. It is attached to the crate with special glue. Combines well with chalet-style stucco. It is better to entrust the installation to professionals, then the tiles will be glued without gaps and will last a long time. Decorative stone is suitable for accenting in the bedroom, living room, hallway and kitchen.

Stone accents in the living room

These are the main materials for finishing a house from a bar inside. They create an interior in old Russian, classical or modern style. For the ceiling, a stretch fabric will be an excellent solution. Matte film will fit even into a country room. Drywall or lining is also often used in a wooden house.

Prices in Moscow for interior decoration of the house
