Wooden slats are used both in country houses and in apartments.
Kitchen interior with clapboard
In this room, the design is different: full interior wall decoration, partial, zoning. No matter how you plan to use the tree, cover it with a protective varnish before installing it - this will protect it from moisture and facilitate cleaning.
When cladding walls from floor to ceiling, separately protect the apron - in this area it is better to use more suitable materials (tiles, panels). In a Provence style kitchen, it will be appropriate to combine boards with wallpaper, for a loft - with brick, scandi - with painted walls.
If you have a studio or a kitchen-living room in a large house, use a wooden lining to divide the functional areas. For example, only make wood trim near your dining table or sofa.
Using decorative panels above or next to a kitchen set, choose the right facades: they should be laconic. Top cabinets can be replaced with shelves.
Living room lined with clapboard
There are tons of ideas for what a living room might look like. First, decide - will you use planks on the walls or ceiling?
The warm shade of the wood above the room will envelop it with coziness, besides, it is easy to place several light sources in the ceiling slats.
The walls are sheathed all over, 1-2 or accentuated. It is logical to place the latter either behind the sofa or opposite it. Zoning is suitable for multi-functional rooms - for example, to separate a work or storage area.
The color scheme depends on your preference: white lining and bright interior details or colored boards and neutral design.

Despite the reduced moisture resistance of the wood, it can be used in wet areas. The main thing is to cover the wall with a protective compound.
Be that as it may, the walls lined with euro lining should not be above the bathroom bowl or in the shower room. Let them be located in remote areas - near the toilet or sink, then the repair will serve you for many years. Another exception is the ceiling, it is better to paint or stretch it.
Lining in the interior of the hallway and corridor
Often, in panel houses, the corridors are narrow and uncomfortable, the horizontal sheathing of short walls will expand the space and make it more pleasant. On long walls, attach the lamellas vertically or diagonally. Panels look interesting - for example, you can create outlines of mountain peaks or a city landscape from the boards.
An added bonus in the hallway - you don't need any special hardware to hang an extra hook or shelf.
Lining in the bedroom
The most spectacular arrangement of the lining on the wall in the bedroom is behind the bed. Accentuate the wall or correct the geometry of the room with proper striping.
The interior with strips of natural shade in the bedroom with white furniture looks fresh and will remain relevant for years to come.

Lining in the children's room
The use of environmentally friendly materials is especially important for children, which is why wood panels come first here. In addition, its variability and ease of processing allows you to create fancy drawings on the walls and ceiling, which is a bonus in the design of a nursery.
Examples of finishing a balcony with clapboard
To save money on repairing a balcony or loggia, but to get a high-quality result, attach the boards to the walls and ceiling. You do not have to level the surfaces and somehow prepare them - it is enough to prime them against mold and mildew, make a crate and install lamellas.

For a small bathroom, lacquer textures are suitable, with a mirroring effect, due to which there is a visual increase in space.
Selection of materials for the bathroom in white
Materials for a bathroom in white can be almost any, depending on the chosen design style. Let's take a closer look at a few of them.
Tile
Another option, a little more expensive and more luxurious, is tiled mosaic. This decoration was popular thousands of years ago in Ancient Rome, Byzantium and in the East. Today the mosaic consists of randomly arranged pieces of different shades or makes up full-fledged drawings.

Stone or brick
Give originality to the interior - add natural stone - pebbles to it. She can lay out the wall or decorate the floor. The colors can be both natural and atypical for this material - the bra will look great in the bathroom.
Another option is decorative stone. Today, this material is made water-repellent and protected from the appearance of fungi, so its use in the washroom is quite justified. The wall above the sink, lined with decorative bricks, will look especially accentuated. This material easily tolerates exposure to water and temperature extremes.

Wood
As noted more than once before, wood is a great way to make a white bathtub more comfortable. It looks especially good in eco, Provence and minimalist interiors.

Marble
This is the most noble material, capable of giving any interior a special luxury by its presence. Whether gray, white, black or pink, noticeable veins on the slabs create an unusual pattern and enliven a white bathroom. In Baroque or Empire designs, marble will support a mirror in a heavy gilded frame and a matching chandelier.

In general, the interior of a snow-white bathroom can be made in any style with the use of almost any materials. The main thing is to avoid excessive "snow-white" and monochrome, complement the room with colored accessories and various textures.
How to process the lining?
Another nuance that cannot be bypassed by being determined in the means for painting the lining inside the room is the place of painting. In order not to be mistaken in the parameters of the selected processing tool, you should know the features of the choice for rooms of different types.
Bath or steam room
Due to the fact that the temperature regime in this room is always increased, you should refuse to paint its walls.
It is only necessary to process the walls with a compound that will provide protection to the lining. These means include wax-containing varnishes. It is also worth knowing that the application of the substance in the sauna itself should be carried out in one layer, in the dressing room it can be processed in two or three layers.
Balcony
Considering that the open space of a balcony or veranda is exposed to various environmental factors, then you should first apply a primer to the lining, and then paint it with paint or varnish.
Inside the house
The first requirement for the chosen means for processing in such a place is the degree of environmental friendliness; the most environmentally friendly product should be chosen.
The processing process itself depends on the chosen product, but it is advisable to carry out in several layers, especially if it is paint or pigmented varnish.
Examples of interior design with painted clapboard:
- By experimenting with colors, you can achieve interesting results.
Blue lining goes well with white and gives lightness and freshness to the interior.
The interiors, decorated with clapboard, are inexpensive, but they look stylish.
Color change painting process
No repair process is complete without a special tool. In this case, we can use:
- tray for paint or varnish;
- means for processing;
- brush;
- roller;
- sandpaper;
- primer for wood;
- protective mask or goggles.
Stages of staining:
- Surface preparation.
First, the lining is cleaned from dirt and from the old coating, if any. This must be done, because the quality of adhesion depends on it.
For better cleansing, you can use a special solution, which is prepared from 300 g of soda diluted in a bucket of water. Also, this composition is able to degrease the surface, which will improve adhesion.
Grinding.
Grinding is carried out with sandpaper.
Primer application.
Some skip this step, but it is recommended to use an antiseptic primer before painting. It is able to prolong the life of the planking, as well as prevent the appearance of resin from the wood material.
Painting.
It is better to initially use a roller, and to finish the places that they cannot paint over with a brush. The coat of paint or varnish should be thin. Depending on the type of room, the number of layers of the product varies.
When working with pigmented varnish or paint, very thin layers should be applied, but this should be done several times. The next layer can only be applied after the previous one is completely dry. The surface can be processed up to three layers.
White color and preservation of wood texture
If there is a desire to change the color and preserve the natural beauty of the wood paneling, it is necessary to use glaze, oil or wax, which contain a coloring pigment.
Despite the fact that these compositions are quite dense on the surface, they not only preserve the natural relief of the tree, but also show it more strongly.
Dyeing process:
Initially, the composition is applied with strokes using a piece of cloth, capturing the entire length of the lining.
The next step is rubbing the strokes. This should be done so that the composition is distributed as evenly as possible. For this work, you can use a brush or the same piece of cloth.
Further, the lining with the applied composition must be left for a ten-minute period of time so that the pigmented components of the substance can appear.
After that, with the help of a lint-free cloth, the product is removed from the surface of the tree.
To keep the pigment on the lining better, it is recommended to cover it with colorless oil in two layers.
This should be done only after the pigment has dried. Can be used for topcoat and varnish.
Carrying out the process of painting the lining with varnish or paint, it is recommended to take into account some of the nuances that will come in handy in the work:
What kind of furniture and appliances will fit?
The choice of furniture, of course, starts with the kitchen unit. In the kitchen in a wooden house, cabinet furniture will look advantageous:
- white;
- with a natural wood texture (or imitation) - walnut, wenge, oak, pine;
- muted dark shades (turquoise, burgundy, blue, wet asphalt);
- in black colors (matte or glossy finish).
In a modern kitchen in a wooden house, avoid deliberately fashionable details - chrome and plastic, for example, will look out of place. But glossy smooth facades will work well with wood. However, it is best to turn to the classic direction with carved and glazed doors. In order to save money, for example, for a kitchen in the country, they refuse from the facades altogether, replacing them with cute curtains from below, and leaving open shelves on top.
In the photo there is a small corner set
The dining table and chairs (or a soft sofa) are matched to the design of the kitchen. A round or rectangular solid wood table, for example, fits perfectly into the American style. Airy with a glass top will suit minimalism. In a small area, you can generally refuse a dining table by decorating a kitchen with a bar in a wooden house. The slab rack, zoning the space, looks original.
Advice! A peninsula flush with the countertop will be more functional than a high rack - it is also used during cooking.
If space allows, place a comfortable sofa or a wooden bench with soft pillows instead of chairs. It is ideal for a rustic design, and inside you can store something you need - a stock of food, textiles, utensils.
As for the technology, it does not have to be retro (although for decorating a country or Provence style kitchen, this will be an excellent solution). But it is also better to avoid ultra-modern high-tech models. Choose functional home appliances that stay as invisible as possible.

In what style can the interior be decorated?
Wooden lining in the interior is used in various styles, only its color and finishing method differ.
- Provence. Lining in the Provence style is a glossy varnish coating or painting in delicate pastel shades (lilac, mint).
- Country. Boards should remain as natural as possible - sand them, cover them with stain. Use a landhouse or blockhouse for the greatest style identity.
Pictured is a Scandinavian-style bedroom
- Vintage. Walls made of brushed lining perfectly emphasize antique furniture and accessories.
- Scandi. White painted lining will cope with the main task of the style - they will fill the room with light.
- Rustic. Aged or bleached planks coupled with massive beams are the basis of the style.
- Loft. Dark wood blends perfectly with red brick or gray concrete. The American beveled lining looks unusual, complements the urban style.
Pictured is a traditional dark bedroom design
- Mediterranean. Painting the lining in blue and using it in a white room reminds of Italian architecture and fills with warmth.
- Modern. Lining in a modern interior is painted in muted, dusty shades - blue, pink, mustard, emerald.
How to paint?
You can paint the lining inside the house in any color. For this, you can use any type of paint - in this case it all depends on the decorative requirements and characteristics of the room.
Below is a step-by-step instruction for painting the lining with your own hands.
- Each board is checked and sorted. Uneven, cracked or curved lining is sent for processing, and parts that are not suitable for finishing are used to test color or varnish.
- After sorting, the boards are cleaned of dirt and sanded with a special machine. If such a tool is not at hand, then you can use the tools at hand: a wooden block with sandpaper.
- The primer and protective agents are applied with a spray gun or roller.
- In a damp and unheated room, experts recommend using exclusively wood that has been treated from all sides so that the material does not lose its original appearance. After complete drying, you can proceed to the decorative finish: coating with paint or varnish.
- For the best effect indoors, designers strongly recommend that you process each detail in turn. To do this, sand, paint and dry all the boards and only then proceed to installation.
- The coating must be applied with a brush or roller along the central part of the lining over its entire length. The paint is carefully ground and shaded until an even, uniform shade is obtained. To do this, you need two brushes: medium thickness and narrow format. The painted surface must be completely dry, therefore the boards are then set aside for a few minutes.
- After complete drying, you can additionally repeat the stage of surface grinding. Then one or more layers of paint are applied - it all depends on the effect you want to get. The paint applied in thin layers lasts longer than one thick coat, but the last one should be as thin as possible. Then the lining is sent to dry again.
- If you paint the finished surface, then untreated areas will remain between the boards, so it will not be possible to paint over the joints well. This finishing method is only permissible in the case of a color update.
- Painting old lining is a laborious process that requires proper preparation. If the paint has chipped off in some places on the walls, then you need to get rid of it. To do this, using a construction hair dryer, you should warm up the wall surface and remove the top varnished or painted layer. After that, the lining must be sanded and primed again.
Over time, any protective coating loses its properties, therefore, from time to time the boards must be re-impregnated with fire retardants and bactericidal agents, and also additionally covered with various varnishes. Antiperen is used to protect wood from fire, the service life of the coating is up to 5 years, therefore, during this period, it is necessary to additionally treat the surface with a product.
During the initial application, experts advise additionally using a small part of the same wood as an example. The composition is applied to the surface in two layers using a brush or spray gun. After complete drying, the treated part of the board used for the sample must be set on fire - the surface should not burn and smolder, and after 30 seconds it should turn black and charred. Bactericidal compounds will help avoid fungal infection and fight existing mold.
Peculiarities
The lining is a narrow profile board with a thorn-groove connection. This is one of the types of sheathing material that is used for exterior and interior decoration. The use of the material depends on its variety, since it is the composition of the raw material and the type of element that determine its operational characteristics, as well as the durability of the facing coating.
However, the cladding board was soon appreciated in construction, because it was distinguished by the same thickness and had a wide range of advantages. It was recognized as a decorative material with a wide range of functional and aesthetic advantages. If originally it was a product of wood origin, today it is made from different raw materials. Regardless of this, its abundance deprives the interior background of expressiveness.
The use of lining for walls and ceilings should be dosed and carefully thought out. It is impossible to sheathe both the walls and the ceiling with it at the same time. This simplifies the interior and deprives it of comfort. Much also depends on the color. For example, an abundance of woody background will give the room a sense of uninhabitedness, which for many causes the internal discomfort that appears when being in a particular room.
The width of the slats is also important, since it is able to visually change the interior space, making the walls higher or, conversely, lower.This is not a universal material, because with a large width in a small room with a low ceiling, the lining can make the room visually cramped. Today it is divided into 2 types: the usual variety and the euro lining. Europrofile is made of natural solid wood with careful processing of all sides.
Its tongue-and-groove connection is up to 8 mm larger, which makes the cladding visually seamless. The back side is distinguished by the presence of a sample for providing air duct and ventilation, which eliminates the formation of condensation. Such lining is divided into 2 types: "standard" and "Soft Line". The difference between them lies in the degree of roundness of the chamfers (they are softer in the Soft Line).
Design
Lining is perceived by many as an element of the country interior. However, in city apartments, it can be quite appropriate. Classic or loft, Provence or rustic - a properly designed lining will look harmonious in almost any style.
Painted in a dark, even black color with preserved wood structure, it will become a worthy addition to the loft style, somewhat shading its industrialism and adding coziness to it. White lining will also look advantageous in such an interior.
The material of light colors will organically fit into the classic interior with its sophistication and restrained chic.
As for Provence, in its graceful simplicity, the lining simply begs for itself. Simply coated with varnish, light-colored stain, painted white or lavender - it will be a great addition to the interior.

At the same time, it is not at all necessary to decorate all surfaces from floor to ceiling with clapboard, as in the country. In a country house, such a technique will be appropriate, but in a city apartment it is unlikely. And it will be difficult to bring this idea to life.
With the help of the lining, you can create a spectacular semi-antique interior. To do this, it can be covered with a stain, simple or craquelure (“aging”, creating a kind of cracked coating) varnish. The clapboard processed in this way can sheathe all or one wall in the room.
Highlighting one wall in a room is a popular zoning technique now. This method is especially good when decorating small areas.
If we are talking about the bedroom, you can highlight the head of the bed and part of the ceiling above it, emphasizing the sleeping area. It is better to choose shades that are calm, relaxing, corresponding to the nature and purpose of the room.
In the office, in this way, you can arrange a work area.
For this purpose, a lining of discreet tones that will not distract attention is suitable. Choose a dark or light shade - it depends on the preferences of the owner of the office
The main thing is that it should not distract attention and have a relaxing effect.
An office is not a bedroom, here it is important to tune in to a working mood, to concentrate, and everything, including color design, should contribute to this.
The living room provides the greatest scope for imagination. Here you can embody almost any ideas, the main thing is to follow the general rules of composition and make sure that the interior is harmonious, does not constitute "opposition" to the design of all other rooms. In the decoration of the living room, you can use both bright and pastel colors, dark or light shades, an emphasized or completely hidden structure of a tree, any finishing materials.
For a loft-style living room, for example, black painted or whitewashed lining is well suited. The main shades of this style direction are precisely black and white, the rest are present only as accents that dilute the monochrome interior, adding zest to it. Therefore, when it comes to decorating the walls in the room, it is better to dwell on these shades. If it is planned to assemble a screen, a panel or some other structure from the lining that is recognized to perform purely decorative functions and is not large in size, you can also use bright colors.
A living room in a classic style will require discreet colors. The natural texture of the wood, emphasized by stain, varnish or bleach, is well suited.
The kitchen decorated with wood looks, of course, status and attractive. But the material itself in this case needs protection from external factors - humidity, high temperatures, possible exposure to chemicals and mechanical damage. The same goes for the bathroom.
Here, especially close attention should be paid to moisture protection.
