The 21st century has arrived a long time ago, and wooden houses do not even think of going out of fashion. More precisely, it’s difficult to call it fashion. Rather, common sense, coupled with a subtle sense of taste, because what other natural material so organically combines environmental safety, reliability and home comfort? True, you won’t be able to escape from the interior decoration (read about how to insulate walls with polystyrene foam from the outside).

Lining
- wide selection of shades and textures;
- sound insulation and thermal insulation;
- environmental Safety;
- pleasant appearance;
- basic installation.
- pay attention to the wooden lining
- it is this that brings tangible notes of unique home comfort into the atmosphere and exudes a characteristic pleasant aroma; - the specification of the material should be marked “for interior decoration”
- an important point, since some types of wooden lining are intended exclusively for facade work; - find out the type of wood used before purchasing
- such information is always relevant, since different types of wood behave differently in conditions of high humidity, focus on lining options made of linden, alder, oak if you are planning finishing in a bathroom, bathhouse or kitchen; - The so-called eurolining is also on sale
- this finishing material has improved characteristics, is well ventilated and is practically not subject to swelling even in conditions of constant high humidity, it is more expensive, but it has an impressive appearance and an impressive long service life.
- a frame is assembled from metal profiles or wooden slats;
- sheets of lining are attached to it with clamps or, in the old fashioned way, with nails.
And in this article you can familiarize yourself with step-by-step instructions for installing lining.
Rustic kitchen interior
When finishing and decorating work, it is necessary to take into account that in the past the kitchen was the central place where most family events took place. The remaining rooms were intended for sleeping. Therefore, when decorating, you need to pay close attention to the kitchen space.
If the size of the room allows, place a wooden corner and a dining table made of the same material.
The kitchen needs to be made light: whitewash the ceiling with lime or water-based paint, cover the walls with plain light wallpaper (floral patterns are possible), it is recommended to lay rugs on the floor. To decorate the room, use herbariums or straw figurines; napkins, curtains and potholders made of natural fabrics; hand embroidery will be a wonderful touch.

Drywall
- helps hide utility lines;
- allows you to achieve a perfectly flat wall surface;
- absorbs moisture well;
- possibility of non-linear editing.
You should also be careful when purchasing drywall in a store. You should start from the characteristics of the room in which the cladding is planned. If you have to deal with a permanently damp place, it is best to choose moisture-resistant gypsum board sheets
.
They are usually available in blue or green. For rooms with high temperatures and a certain risk of fire, pink
drywall is suitable - it has a reliable fire-resistant coating that will help protect your walls from unpleasant surprises.
One of the advantages of covering walls with plasterboard in a wooden house is that it is easy to install.
Thanks to the dimensional sheets, the cladding can be completed quite quickly. True, you will first have to build a sheathing
- this is an improvised frame made of metal profiles or wooden beams. It can successfully hide all sewer and ventilation communications, cables that spoil the appearance of the room. After the gypsum board sheets have been attached, all that remains is to treat them with a primer, seal all the seams with serpyanka, thoroughly putty all the defects and paint or whitewash them in the color that fits into the format of your interior.
An important point that I would like to pay close attention to: new wooden houses tend to shrink after some time, so it is recommended to cover them with plasterboard only after this.
In this case, it is necessary to leave 1-2 cm
at the junction with the floor and ceiling, since wooden walls tend to swell - and one day the cladding may simply tear. Video with recommendations from experts.
Advantages of wooden buildings
Modern architects and designers use various materials for construction and decoration. The advantages of wood are:
- special aesthetics and practicality;
- excellent sound insulation, allowing you to listen to music loudly or watch TV, gather noisy companies without disturbing your neighbors;
- excellent thermal insulation. Wood retains heat for a long time; such walls and roof will maintain a comfortable room temperature in the cold winter;
- maintaining the same level of humidity.

Cork
- 100% environmentally friendly;
- excellent sound insulation;
- magnificent relief;
- solid and expensive look.
This is the case when the obvious visual advantages of a cork correlate with its technical characteristics and the numbers on the price tag. This option is certainly suitable for a respectably furnished wooden house, in which a lot of money has been invested. If you plan to cover the walls inexpensively, then you can use a little trick - use cork to decorate individual wall fragments. In this case, the costs will not be so high - and nothing will interfere with the pleasure of contemplating the spectacular wall cladding in the house.
It is better to glue cork to a wall in a wooden house using special contact glue. It grips the sheet perfectly even with low consumption. Of course, before this it is necessary to prepare the surface of the wall itself:
- remove irregularities;
- clean from dust and debris;
- remove any remaining old material.
It is best to thoroughly level the walls before doing this, but if you don’t really want to do this with plaster, then gypsum board sheets will be an excellent and, most importantly, inexpensive alternative.
Country style design features
Country music creates a warm, calm atmosphere of a country house. Use pastel colors: olive, lavender, sand and others, avoid sharp contrasts. Since textile products are an indispensable attribute of decoration, decorate the living space with napkins, large-checked curtains, and lay a tablecloth with hand-embroidered embroidery. Choose fabrics not synthetic, but cotton, linen or chintz.
Natural and decorative stone or brick are perfect for wall decoration; you can paint them in a single color. Furniture, dishes and decorative elements should be made from natural materials: glass, wood, stone or paper. Upholstery with small flowers is acceptable for sofas and armchairs.

Decorative rock
- creates a beautiful natural look;
- favorably emphasizes the relief of noble stones;
- undergoes final finishing.
One of the advantages of using decorative stone for interior wall cladding in a wooden house is the low cost of the base material. As a rule, this is gypsum, but there are also options combined with cement. The latter, as a rule, are a little heavier, but in any case much more convenient for cladding than “wild” stone.
The only downside is the increased demands of this cladding material on the wall surface. It must be perfectly smooth, otherwise the created relief will not be so expressive. In order to cover the walls with decorative stone, it is best to use tile adhesive or liquid nails. The first option is recommended if the cladding material is made on the basis of a weighted mixture of gypsum and cement, the second - for cladding based on lightweight gypsum that is convenient for cladding.
Main directions in design
The design of a village house inside should meet the main goal - to create an atmosphere of peace and genuine comfort, so you should not decorate your dacha, for example, in a minimalist style. Typically, the design of a house in a village is made based on the cultural characteristics of a particular people. In this case, you can choose any ethnic direction: a wooden house in the Provence style on the banks of the Volga will look just as appropriate as in the French province.
So, the most popular directions in decorating a country estate:
- country;
- Provence;
- English village;
- Russian village.

Plastic
- attractive appearance;
- modest cost;
- excellent moisture resistance;
- unpretentious care.
People's love for plastic is as imperishable as their love for wood. What if it turns out to be correctly combined in one room?
Due to its good moisture resistance, plastic can be successfully used for inexpensive and reliable interior decoration of walls in the bathroom, toilets and kitchen in a wooden house. In order to properly frame the walls, you will have to build the usual frame - such sheathing will allow you to achieve a perfectly flat surface.
If previously the choice of plastic for wall coverings was quite modest, now you can choose sheets with a wide variety of textures and colors. There are also beautiful relief models, which in some rooms of your house can fit perfectly into the simulated interior.
What determines the choice of interior?
The interior of a country house has certain specifics that distinguish it from the design of city apartments.
Distinctive features of a rural interior
| Furniture | Antique or with imitation of antiquity (large chest or chest of drawers), the simplest. |
| Finishing | Lack of frills, simplicity, roughness |
| Materials | Natural ones are preferred: stone or wood |
| Details, decorative elements | An abundance of different little things made by the owners’ own hands or craftsmen |
| Textile | Embroidered tablecloths, napkins, potholders with ethnic patterns, curtains made of natural fabrics: linen or cotton |
When decorating a house in a rustic style, wicker furniture and elements of artistic forging are often used.

Ceramic tile
- reliable and inexpensive;
- suitable option for bathrooms and toilets;
- complex installation.
Another good answer to the question of how you can inexpensively and beautifully cover the walls of your home, if it is made of wood. Good - in terms of material costs and the final decorative effect. However, in order to lay the tiles evenly and correctly, you cannot do without special skills. Still, good specialists are worth it.
The tiles are glued to the base surface using tile adhesive, and after direct cladding, the seams are sealed with fugue - a special grout that prevents the appearance of pathogenic flora on the walls of a wooden house and, at the same time, by adding various dyes, also helps to emphasize certain shades in the interior.
Old wooden house
When performing work inside an old building, it is necessary to first assess the condition of the walls and carry out a set of protective measures. All suspicious areas on the walls are checked for strength. To do this, you can use a screwdriver, knife or chisel. Areas with the following features are considered suspicious:
- darker than the main surface;
- lighter than the main surface;
- different texture;
- different density.
If the wood crumbles, it is recommended to contact a specialist who, depending on the nature and extent of the damage, will advise the further course of action. Even if there are no defects on the surface, it is necessary to treat the base with an antiseptic.
Bedroom decoration
The central design element around which the composition of the room is assembled is a large wooden or wrought-iron bed with a natural mattress (ideally a feather bed) and a large number of pillows of different sizes. For textiles, you should prefer linen or calico in pastel shades with or without a small pattern. Small rugs or rag rugs are placed on the floor.
It is better to choose bedside tables, wardrobes, chairs, a massive chest of drawers or an impressively sized chest, decorated with carvings. The most important condition is good lighting, preferably natural, so there should be a lot of windows in the room.
A wooden wall will retain heat in the most severe frosts
Wood walls look very beautiful
Creating a rustic style is an exciting process in which you can show all your creativity. Any skills will come in handy. The ability to sew, knit and embroider will help you create designer napkins, tablecloths and curtains. Having learned the technique of wood carving, you can make unique pieces of furniture and decor even from old things. Hand-made accessories in this design are more relevant than in any other stylistic direction. Show your imagination, remember your childhood hobbies, and as a result you will get a village house that fully reflects your personality.

Covering a house with siding
Siding can be made of metal or vinyl. The first is less durable, but it is lighter than metal and successfully resists corrosion. It does not need to be painted; the dye is added to the composition already at the manufacturing stage. The second quickly cools down and heats up in the sun, when hit, dents and scratches appear on it, then it can begin to corrode.
Covering a house with siding
Installation begins from the corners. Attach with self-tapping screws to the sheathing, from the middle of the panel to its edges. You need to leave a gap of 5-7 mm between the nail head and the siding, since the material expands when heated. When installing siding in cold weather, the gap should reach 10 mm. The elements are connected with an overlap of 2 cm.
Why is the use of wooden materials justified?
Nowadays, technology development does not stand still and new materials are constantly being created, the properties of which are better than those of the “previous generation” materials. This applies to water resistance, withstanding high and low temperatures.
A good ability to retain heat is also important. But at the same time, decorating walls with wood in an apartment will still be popular due to its unique ability to create coziness
Moreover, the materials are always environmentally friendly. There will always be a variety of panels for wall decoration in fashion.
Different types of wood are used to decorate walls with wood. Among them, the most common are oak, spruce, pine and linden.
There is nothing stopping you from using other tree species, but they are usually more difficult to find and the price is higher. You can also use waxing or bleaching. Thanks to this, the texture is emphasized and the wood is given a different shade.
As a result, the number of ways to decorate walls with wood in the interior is increasing and you can come up with a large number of interesting designs.
