Beautiful examples

Wood in the interior is always luxury, discreet chic and comfort. Depending on the style and size of the premises, you can choose panels that fit optimally into the overall style idea. Bedroom or living room, study or nursery - natural wood is appropriate everywhere.

Depending on the design idea in the decoration of the bedroom, you can use slatted panels, square or rectangular slabs, 3D models. This is a room where you want to relax, calm down, rest, so bright, expressive colors, complex designs, cold surfaces will not work. Wood, on the other hand, with its eye-pleasing shades, natural warmth, and coziness will be the best solution for decorating this room.

If you decorate the wall at the head of the bed with panels, you can emphasize the sleeping area in the room. Such a wall does not require any additional decor, it is beautiful and aesthetic in itself.

Many design directions involve the use of wood in interior decoration. For example, in the English style, wood is an important decor element. The panels covering the lower part of the walls, the ceiling with beams, the floor - plank or parquet - all these are integral elements of the English style, just like the fireplace and the chair in front of it.

Decorating an office requires a completely different approach. This room is intended for work, therefore, its design should adjust to the working mood, create a comfortable, but not relaxing atmosphere. And in this case, the tree will also come in handy.

This material was originally used in the design of the offices. The aristocracy, in whose houses one could find private offices, was not afraid of the high cost of natural wood. Now expensive natural material can be replaced with more affordable options - chipboard, fiberboard, MDF, OSB.

If earlier the office was usually decorated in a classic style, today you can find a wide variety of style solutions in the decoration of this room. Thanks to modern technologies, wooden panels made of composite materials are produced in a wide variety - both in shape and in decor. Imitation of the structure of natural wood, brickwork, stone, brightly colored panels - for every taste.

Panels can be used to sheathe the lower part of the walls. They can be combined with wallpaper. Then you get an interior in the spirit of old England.

Wooden ceilings are also appropriate in a retro style. Whatever era the interior reflects, wood will perfectly fit into the overall concept. Stained or painted white, it will be a good backdrop for furniture and decor elements.

Wooden ceilings with beams will harmoniously fit into the interior, made in country or Provence style. The English style also implies such a ceiling design.

If the wooden panels are covered with white paint and sandpaper over them, so that the paint is erased in places, they will be a great addition to the shabby chic interior. Panels of dark colors, black will harmoniously fit into such an extraordinary style as a loft. They will be able to bring a touch of home warmth, comfort, natural freshness to this industrial style.

Looking at the classic interiors of any era, you can see that wood has long been an integral element of interior design. It is impossible to imagine aristocratic interiors without a parquet floor (most often made of oak), carved furniture from precious woods, all kinds of architectural and decorative elements. Even in palaces, walls were decorated with carved wood panels.

Now the choice of finishing materials is quite large. You can choose a finish for every taste - from stone to plastic. But the tree still does not give up its positions. Its natural beauty, environmental friendliness, durability and special charm are unparalleled. Therefore, the number of fans of this finish does not decrease.

An overview of 3D wood panels is waiting for you in the next video.

Wall design options

The construction market is replete with various offers, forcing the modern consumer to pretty much puzzle over the choice of finishing material.

Some opt for the simplest and most affordable methods that are suitable for both decorating an old country house and new houses, which will be discussed below.

Painting

To implement this finishing option, you can use various types of paints (see photo), among which the most common are water-based and acrylic materials.

The advantages of this finishing method:

• painting is a very simple procedure that does not require special skills and tools;
• the painted surface can be easily repainted in a different color, if necessary;
• an immense choice of colors and shades;
• ease of cleaning and disinfection.

Now about the disadvantages:

• before painting, the walls require careful preparation, since if there is a rough surface, the paint will lie in an uneven layer, which will eventually lead to the formation of delamination;
• the painted surface needs systematic wet cleaning;

Drywall

Installation of drywall will allow not only to perfectly align the walls in the room, but also to lay insulating material between the sheets and the main wall, if necessary.

Benefits of using drywall:

• quick and easy installation;
• the ability to construct structures of any complexity;
• drywall makes it easy to disguise wiring and various communications;
• the possibility of finishing with various topcoats.

Disadvantages:

• the useful area of ​​the room decreases;
• low resistance to mechanical stress;
• the need for additional puttying of seams and joints after installation, as well as puttying of the material over the entire area;
• drywall is afraid of high humidity, which negatively affects the service life of the material.

Textile

This method of decoration was often used in the old days, but now it has received a rebirth. Both natural textiles and artificial materials are used to cover the walls.

The fabric is fixed in various ways: glued like ordinary wallpaper, pulled on pre-built wooden frames, which are then installed on the wall, fixed to the wooden wall with a stapler.

The advantages of the method:

• there is no need to level the walls (unless the fabric is glued instead of wallpaper);
• resistance to various mechanical damage - textiles simply stretch under load, without being subject to tears and cracks;
• the room acquires a special chic, thanks to the texture of the material;
• fabrics for wall decoration are made in a wide range, thanks to which there are many choices, as well as the possibility of combining the material with curtains and bedding.

Disadvantages:

• the fabric absorbs a large amount of dust, so the material needs to be vacuumed regularly;
• textiles quickly lose their appearance, get dirty and rubbed easily.

Wallpaper

A traditional option that provides the modern consumer with a wider range of options than in the old days.

Today, you can buy not only paper wallpapers, but also vinyl, duplex, non-woven, textile and other types of materials.

Advantages of wallpapering:

• walls require less thorough preparation, in contrast to the same painting, in which it is necessary to close up even the smallest cracks and irregularities;
• a large selection of materials of various types;
• the ability to independently carry out finishing work with minimal skills.

Disadvantages:

• the need to replace wallpaper (except for liquid) after 5-7 years, as they quickly lose their appearance;
• susceptibility to mechanical damage;
• difficulty in removing dirt, even when it comes to washable wallpaper.

Wall panels

Wall panels are products intended for decorative wall decoration. They can be made of various materials (chipboard, fiberboard, PVC, wood) and different shapes - in the form of plates, sheets and strips.

They are mounted like drywall on a frame, which in this case can be either steel or wood.

Pros of panels:

• relatively simple installation;
• the possibility of equipping the wall with sound insulation, which is laid behind the panels;
• there is no need to level the walls before installation;
• the ability to dismantle the panels for use in another place.

The disadvantage of this finishing method is to reduce the size of the room, since the crate on which the panels are installed takes up a lot of space.

Wall decoration options in a wooden house

There are many options for finishing a wooden house. It all depends on the operating conditions, finances, your desire and the style of the room.

Clean log house finished with paints and varnishes

If you strive for naturalness and environmental friendliness, you live in a region with a stably dry and stable climate, then a natural wood blockhouse is suitable for you.

In such a house you will always be haunted by the aroma of natural wood.

This type of finish is increasingly gaining popularity among our stars. This primordially Russian style makes the room lively and the microclimate healthy. This type of finish attracts with its beauty, durability, environmental friendliness, uncomplicated design and simplicity. Such projects can be recreated with historical accuracy in the same way that houses were built many centuries ago.

Lining as a wall decoration with wood when it is impossible to polish the timber

Lining is a traditional material for home decoration. Its advantages are obvious - it is easy to install, looks quite aesthetically pleasing. The lamellas, with the help of special fasteners, are connected tightly.

Clapboard paneling creates a perfectly flat and beautiful surface

Other advantages of this material include:

• quick installation;
• environmental friendliness;
• many shades of coverage;
• made from different types of wood.

Among the disadvantages are:

• high price;
• the need to erect a crate;
• the need for careful care.

Preparatory moments include not only the installation of the lathing, but also the processing and inspection of the lamellas themselves

It is important to pre-sand and dry them.

The final stage is varnishing the lining, sanding and another varnishing

Block house - is a more modern type of lining. Usually, such blocks are made of high quality wood, which does not shrink, is not inferior in strength and strength, and in many respects even surpasses classical materials.

The block house allows you to preserve the unique microclimate of the room

In addition, this finishing material does not lose its original quality due to the processing of wood. The texture of the material is no different from natural wood.

The main advantages of a block house:

• mechanical strength;
• environmental friendliness;
• aesthetic appearance;
• light weight;
• ease of assembly.

For interior decoration, lamellas with a thickness of no more than 25 mm are better suited. With an increase in thickness, difficulties may arise with high-quality fastening of the battens. In addition, this can lead to a decrease in the internal space of the room, which is highly undesirable. The disadvantages of the material include too low vapor permeability and increased flammability.

If you buy material in winter, then it is important to put it in a warm room to dry

Decorating a wooden house inside with plasterboard

Drywall is the ideal solution for when you need to hide or hide something. It can be some kind of communications, or defects in planning. Usually drywall is used when leveling walls. Most often, in a wooden house, drywall is used for finishing ceilings or erecting interior partitions. In addition, such coatings will be a good solution for bathrooms.

Drywall with a moisture-resistant coating can protect your bathtub walls from excess moisture

In addition, the drywall is fire-resistant. This is just the case when they can sheathe fireplaces or a stove, additionally protecting the wooden walls from overheating and fire.

For wooden houses, lathing from a bar is used as a basis for drywall

Wall panels of different types

Wall panels for finishing a wooden house are quite a popular option. The choice of materials is quite large. The finish under natural veneer looks very interesting, as well as made of laminated MDF, which is not afraid of moisture and can repeat almost any texture.

MDF boards are able to imitate the patterns of not only wood, but also leather, bamboo, gypsum

Why wall panels are good:

• simple and easy installation;
• good heat and sound insulation;
• stylish appearance.

The panels are also convenient because you can choose them for any size. They are also attached to the lathing and have a tongue-and-groove fastening system. Externally, the seams are almost invisible. The coating looks like a single monolith.

Decoration with MDF plates can be selected for any interior

Wood panels for wall decoration: varieties and classification

There are many wood finishing materials on the construction market, which are classified according to the characteristics:

1. The form. Slats and plates. Reiki is 2.5-3.7 meters long. The width is also different. Collect slats using spikes, grooves. Installation is carried out in different ways: horizontally, vertically, diagonally. The slabs are square. They will pave the wall from the floor to the middle? And also used as a separate insert.
2. Material. Facing material is made of natural wood, fiberboard, chipboard, MDF.

The cladding has a different cost. It depends on the material being made - it will be a valuable wood species or particle board.

Rack decorative

These are long slats, up to 3.7 meters long, up to 30 cm wide, their thickness is different. They are made of wood, PVC, fiberboard and other materials containing wood shavings.

Use slats for finishing small rooms where there are many projections (corners). If the decoration is light colors, its application visually enlarges and brightens the room, the corridor.

Fixing the slats horizontally - stretches the room in length, vertically - the high ceiling is visualized. Installation is carried out on a frame base with staples or self-tapping screws.

Natural wood

Facing material made of various types of wood is appreciated for its unique pattern, shades and play of colors, as well as for its warmth and comfort.During processing, the wood is handled carefully in order to preserve the textured pattern and shade. In most cases, the panels are not painted, but covered with a clear varnish for expressiveness and protection from external factors.

Wood material can be called capricious - it does not tolerate moisture or sudden changes in temperature. Constant exposure to hot air is also unacceptable. Humidity and temperature should be optimal.

Fasten the cladding to the created lattice of metal profiles or wooden slats.

Pressed panels

Cladding made of pressed wood shavings is not toxic today. Thanks to new technologies, the composition does not include phenolic glue. The production takes place under great pressure. The pricing policy has not changed. The panels are still available to the middle class and perfectly decorate the premises.

Facing material is produced in various colors, with patterns or "wood imitation", monochromatic.

Some of them are covered with colorless varnish, while others can be painted on their own, giving individuality and achieving the desired result.

You can mount the material on a rough base in three ways: frameless: on glue, self-tapping screws and a frame.

Artificial panels on the wall under the tree

The cladding is made of polyvinyl chloride. Painted to match the color of the tree. The textured drawing can be exactly the same as a tree in section. These panels are used for finishing wet rooms, balconies, corridors, living rooms in private houses, loggias and attics. In the place where natural wood can swell or crack, PVC will retain its original appearance for a long time.

This material has a generally rack-and-pinion shape. Fasten it to glue, frame base.

Self-adhesive panels

Self-adhesive panels are made of PVC and MDF. They are easy to install (without dirt, dust, without reducing the space of the room), and they are also durable.

The material has a number of features, among which the effect of humidity is unimportant, improvement of sound insulation, durability without loss of appearance. Different in shape, rail, square

Mount on the entire wall or partially, chaotically

They are different in shape, rail, square. They are mounted on the entire wall or partially, chaotically.

The manufactured material is safe for human health.

The finishing material can be fixed to the walls at different angles. It all depends on the chosen design, as well as the priorities of the owner. The finished room looks individual, because there are many options for decorating the interior with wood. The wall will be trimmed with strips diagonally or vertically, yet there will be no repetition, because there are various textured patterns, shades, wood species with their own shades.

One tree can play in different shades, it depends not only on the processing, but also on the age of the tree.

Herringbone

An interesting way to fix the lath material. There are 2 types of herringbone mounting: fixing the slats at an angle to each other (a herringbone pattern is created on the wall, the branches look up from the bottom, and the length of the “branches” depends on the size of the wall and the room), the second method is to lay the battens horizontally on top of one another ...

Reiki is used in various widths and lengths. After installation, the herringbone can be painted in a color that matches the interior, or can be covered with colorless varnish. However, processed and painted slats are sold on the market, so they only need to be fixed on a rough base.

Horizontally

If you mount the slats horizontally, the room visually becomes long. I use 2 methods of fastening: on a frame base or glue. In the first case, there is a benefit:

• insulate the wall;
• hide wires;
• improve sound insulation.

The second method has the following advantages:

• quick installation on a flat surface;
• saving materials;
• saving space.

Each method has its own drawbacks, however, when choosing a fixation method, they practically do not pay attention to them. The horizontally fixed slats have different widths - this is of great importance in the overall picture of the arrangement of the room

The horizontally fixed slats have different widths - this is of great importance in the overall picture of the arrangement of the room.

Basically, cladding is made up to half of the wall from the baseboard, combining with wallpaper, painting and other finishing materials. They create a contrast in the form of "dark-light" or adhere to one tone, emphasizing the overall color scheme of the room.

Vertically

The laths are fixed in the same way as in the horizontal cladding. The vertical position increases the height of the ceiling, so installation is carried out from bottom to top.

Reiki have different widths, colors, patterns. They are used on balconies, in corridors.

If the room is dark, choose light colors. Sometimes one wall is highlighted with decoration, on which there is a niche, shelves with lighting. This makes the room interesting, there is a division into zones: watching TV, the place of necessary significant things.

Abstraction

Abstraction is called 3D panels created from solid wood or under it. These are three-dimensional drawings, paintings with an ambiguous convex relief. The cladding creates one wall in the room that visualizes naturalness.

3D abstraction is created independently from many parts of a tree - a delicate work. Or they purchase ready-made panels to order - installation is carried out on glue.

And also abstraction can be called chaotically scattered panels of small sizes on the wall, combined with other finishing materials or wooden elements, such as shelves, picture frames.
