What can you combine with?
The combination of lining with other finishing materials is a popular solution that allows you to use wood trim in any room in the house.
Wallpaper. This tandem is used in the living room, bedroom, nursery, kitchen and even bathroom. Typically, panels are ⅓, ⅔, or half the height of the wall from the bottom. Refine the transition between them with a molding or a wooden plank. To achieve visual harmony, paint the lining in one of the shades that are present on the wallpaper.
Ceramic tile. A wonderful duet for bathroom, toilet and kitchen. Paint the wood to match the tiles for a small room, or use contrast for a large one. A bathroom made of natural shade lining and white tiles looks ultra-modern and fresh.

Stone. On the one hand, the union may seem unusual, but it is dictated by nature itself. Smooth slabs with wood are used in wet rooms, textured - in the living room or in the kitchen.
Brick. The white brick-wood wall will appeal to fans of Scandinavian design, the dark patinated wood with red brick is perfect for a loft.
# 1. What are the main advantages of wooden lining?
All the basic properties of the material depend on the nuances of its manufacture. Wooden lining is made from solid wood at wood processing enterprises. Lining is a 7-20 mm thick cut board with planed surfaces. The width of such material is 90-150 mm, the length can vary widely. Once upon a time, railway carriages were sheathed with thin long wooden planks with selected quarters, hence the name.
Any kind of wood can be the raw material for the lining, and the main distinguishing property of the material is the presence of a groove and a ridge, thanks to which the installation is carried out. All this allows us to talk about the numerous advantages of the lining:
- excellent thermal and sound insulation properties;
- small coefficient of thermal expansion;
- due to the low weight, ease of transportation and installation is achieved, and there is no need to strengthen the foundation;
- due to the tongue-and-groove installation method, it is possible to assemble the skin without cracks;
- the appearance of the wooden lining is chic, it allows you to bring comfort to the interior or highlight the building when facing the facade;
- strength and durability;
- environmental friendliness, because the tree goes through a minimum of processing operations.
Among the minuses, you can only name a good ability to maintain combustion, but subject to fire safety rules, the material and your health are not in danger. A wooden lining is, of course, more expensive than its plastic counterpart, but it will also serve much longer, being resistant to physical stress.
Noble interior of a country house
For a country house, if the financial component permits, it makes sense to use mainly eurolining, which differs not only in quality, but also has a breathtaking smell of natural wood. More budgetary lining, not marked with the "extra" class, will still allow the interior of a country house to look expensive and attractive, albeit only visually.
Advantages:
- Ideal for loft rooms. One of the best finishing methods, according to designers, is that the ceiling is decorated with clapboard, and the walls - with wallpaper.
- Perfect for the camouflage function of any nuances that stand out from the general background (pipes, communications, technical rooms).
- The question of how to beat the beams on the ceiling is no longer relevant. Faded beams against the background of the lining is one of the latest trends. If a special rustic or other style provides for them, the absence of real ones will be replaced by false beams. Painted with the same color scheme with panels, they will perfectly fit into lighter styles (country).
- Sufficient area allows you to use various combined decoration techniques, which are inadmissible for a small apartment - air tiles, laying out with majolica.
White is one of the favorites
Light furniture, white textiles are successfully combined with many shades of the walls.
Adding maximum authenticity to the interior of a country house will help the reception of decorating furniture with clapboard.
The layout of country houses is usually characterized by a common large room, no matter what cubic capacity, combining the functions of a living room, dining room, kitchen. Ideally, zoning can be done using lining, and you can use both texture and color, giving the room a proportional and comfortable look.
Preparatory work
Installation of panels involves the mandatory preparation of the walls. The surfaces must be dry and level. Sometimes waterproofing of surfaces is required, which serves as special films or impregnations.
If there are areas with fungus and mold on the walls, then an antiseptic treatment will additionally be required. The more carefully this stage is carried out, the more protected all surfaces will be.
It is easy to hide noise-insulating or heat-insulating structures under the lining - expanded polystyrene or mineral plates. Also, together with the facing material, a vapor barrier film may be required. If it is available, preparatory work should be started with laying the vapor barrier.
An important stage of work with any clapboard is the manufacture of a frame. If a vapor barrier is required, the selected material is overlapped directly onto the wall. A construction stapler and special staples are suitable as a retainer.
Sheathing bars are attached on top of the vapor barrier. If the laying of the lining is planned to be horizontal, then the bars must be fixed vertically, if the lining is mounted vertically, then the best option for the lathing is in the horizontal direction. Nails or self-tapping screws are suitable as fixing parts. The best fixation of the frame installed on brick blocks will be frame dowels. At the same time, fastening holes are required in the walls.
The main frame can be supplemented with another layer of sheathing. The second layer of bars should be fixed across the first
It is important that this surface layer of the batten is perfectly even, as the panels will be attached to this very layer. If a wooden lining is chosen, then it is worth considering its weight
The frame for this type of cladding must be reliable. It is better to calculate the required number of bars for the frame in advance. This will allow not to be distracted by their manufacture during the installation of the frame.
No. 8. Which manufacturers can you trust?
Of course, the name and reputation of the manufacturer plays a significant role in the choice. Large companies will not risk their name and produce low-quality products. It is worth noting that today there are a lot of domestic companies on the market that produce lining of excellent quality. There are imported products, but only in small quantities, so we will not divide manufacturers into foreign and domestic ones, but we will give a general list of the best.
LUNAWOOD
A young Finnish company founded in 2002. Today it is the world leader in the production of thermowood, develops its own innovative methods, is constantly improving. Wood that has been treated with high temperature and steam loses nutrients, becomes resistant to any weather conditions, deformation and decay.The company mainly uses pine wood, and the products are widely represented on the domestic market.

"Karelia"
The company was founded in 2004, and at that time carried out work on the construction of objects made of wood. Since it was not so easy to find high-quality material on the market, it was decided to create our own production.

The company offers eurolining made of pine and spruce, as well as from aspen, which is perfect for arranging baths and saunas.
Style
Wooden lining can be processed in ways that allow the design to take on its own individual character:
- Environmentally friendly - preservation of the natural pattern of wood.
- Treated - by impregnation, special means: added smoothness, gloss or dullness.
- Painted - original color.
- Brushed - relief and texture come to the fore. A special type: only coniferous wood is taken.
All this diversity is necessary to create unique interiors in the most diverse styles, embodied for apartments and country houses. At the peak of popularity, the following style solutions with the direct participation of this type of finish:
- Eco. Supports the natural microclimate, goes well with other materials, such as stone; with a living phytowall - one of the best.
- Retro, vintage. Styles of "antique" due to the lining acquire even more charm, and brushing will enhance the effect of a soulful retro atmosphere.
- Scandinavian. White matte boards are the calling card of the style.
- Provence. The interiors convey the warmth of the sunny coast of France through the lacquered paneling.
- Country. To emphasize some of the natural elegance of the style will help the appearance of the "landhouse" profile with its decorative grooves.
- Rustic, natural, other ethno-styles. The surface is subject to aging due to fire, bleaching. Latest design preferences: bleached ash, oak, pine.
- Shabby chic. A great backdrop for shabby, aged furnishings, like "sugar" decor items.
- Modern. Current option: gray, silver lining, especially locally used. The design does not contradict some urbanistic orientation, gloss is only beneficial here.
- Loft. The rough, unpolished surface of such options as "American", "quarter" will accentuate the industrial style.
Different types of material
Currently, the construction market is quite extensive and allows you to choose the most suitable option for a specific situation. Even wood products for finishing work, there are several types. The following products are especially popular:
- lining;
- block house;
- wood-based wallpaper;
- panels.
Each variety has its own characteristics that must be considered when choosing.
Lining
This option is a thin board made of various types of wood, which are connected according to the principle of "thorn-groove". This technology makes it possible to carry out installation in a short time. Due to the hidden fastening, the coating is very harmonious.
Clapboard decoration of walls and ceilings
Material advantages:
- Strength. Allows to withstand various mechanical influences.
- Long service life. This indicator can be tens of years. But in order to achieve such a result, the lamellas need preliminary processing and some care.
- Decorative properties. The resulting surface creates a great indoor atmosphere. If necessary, the coating can be re-colored.
The lining is laid on the frame, which allows you to additionally insulate the room
We must not forget that there are also negative sides:
- If the humidity and temperature indicators are not observed, the lamellas gradually dry out, which leads to the formation of numerous deformations.
- If impregnation with special compounds has not been carried out, then the boards become an excellent breeding ground for fungi and insects.
- High cost. The cost depends on the class of the product, but in any case it is a significant part of the budget.
Lining properties depending on the type of wood
Despite the presence of negative factors, this option is successfully used for covering all rooms in a house or apartment, as well as baths and saunas.
Block house
This material for interior decoration of the house with wood is relatively new, but already beloved. Particularly popular is due to the fact that the details allow you to simulate a log cabin.
Finishing with a block house imitating a log cabin
This product has a number of advantages:
- Excellent aesthetic properties. The surface takes on a very effective and extremely natural look.
- Additional heat and sound insulation of the room. Indeed, wood has the ability to neutralize noise pollution and maintain a special microclimate in the room.
- Ease of installation. Even a novice home craftsman can cope with this task, the main thing is to correctly complete a number of preparatory stages.
In principle, in terms of its characteristics, such material does not differ much from the lining. The essential difference lies in appearance and price, a block house is much more expensive.
Wallpaper based on natural wood
Natural wallpapers are similar in appearance to traditional varieties. The difference lies in the production technology: a solid base is used for the manufacture of the product, on which a thin veneer is glued (see photo).
Veneer wallpaper options
Product characteristics:
- Wide decorative range. Many different types of wood are used in production. But it must be borne in mind that each species has its own characteristics. For example, cherry veneer changes color over time.
- Almost all rooms can be faced with wallpaper, but the coating is afraid of moisture. The veneer and backing absorb water, resulting in a deterioration in appearance.
- Possibility of damage by mold and insects.
Wall decoration with natural wood wallpaper
In fact, the material is quite specific, therefore it requires special conditions for installation and operation.
Panels
The most commonly used decorative panels are MDF or inexpensive wood cores covered with various types of veneer. There are so-called elite panels, they can be completely made of valuable wood species, but this is unreasonably expensive.
Facing one of the bedroom walls with panels
The material has the following advantages:
- Exquisite decorative effect. The resulting surface is distinguished by respectability and a high level of comfort.
- Durability. Many varieties of trees used by themselves have good durability, and due to special processing, the service life is calculated in many tens of years.
- Creation of a special microclimate. For this, the external finishing of the panels should be carried out only with natural compounds: varnish and wax.
Thus, each option is suitable for a specific situation, which makes the choice easier.
Materials, the decoration of which is acceptable for a wooden house
In addition to wooden lining and natural cork, other materials of artificial origin are used for wall decoration, which contain a certain percentage of synthetics and natural components.
Fiberboard panels
One of the most common are fiberboard wall panels - fiberboard. It is produced by pressing the wood crushed to the state of individual fibers and natural binders.
With sharp changes in temperature, the fiberboard does not crack and does not deform, at least not significantly. When heated, it does not emit volatile substances that can cause irritation or allergies. The sheets are rather thin and large in area. This allows them to be installed both on load-bearing walls and on partitions. A wide range of surface finishes makes it possible to choose a panel for any interior.
The most common panels with the following decor:
Wood.
Mosaic.
Tile.
A natural stone.
Decorative plaster.
Textile.
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)
MDF resembles fiberboard, but more dense. Such boards are produced from more crushed wood raw materials on the basis of a binder lignin - a product of high-temperature distillation of wood raw materials. After pressing, solid panels with a very smooth surface are obtained, which can be painted, washed, covered with wallpaper, and laminated.
Laminated MDF panels are produced in the form of individual tiles up to 1X1 m in size, large sheets of up to 3X1.5 m in size, or long lamellas resembling lining. The thickness of the panels is 7 - 12 mm. The panel is attached to the lathing or directly to the wall, if its surface is sufficiently flat. Like ordinary fiberboard, MDF panel is absolutely safe in an environmental sense.
Drywall
Due to its structure, drywall is as appropriate in a wooden house as it is in a stone or brick house. Having covered the plasterboard with a wooden wall, you can be sure that it will be in optimal conditions for humidity and temperature, excess moisture will not accumulate in it or conditions for the appearance of mold or rot are created. But for insurance before installing drywall, it is necessary to treat the surface of the wood with antiseptics and long-acting fungicides. The surface of the gypsum board is putty and painted, as in an ordinary house, you can install ceramic tiles or another type of decor used in stone houses.
Gypsum fiber sheet
Gypsum fiber sheet (GVL) is a material made from crushed cellulose and gypsum. GVL is homogeneous in structure and is produced by dry pressing. The most optimal areas of application of this material are places where there are increased requirements for fire safety. In addition, this material is used for the construction of partitions and wall cladding where high requirements are imposed for protection against impact.
Usually, one of the types of material is used to decorate a house in all rooms - this is more convenient for its further processing. But there are options for combining finishing methods, for example, lining in the corridor and on the staircase and MDF or cork in general rooms, drywall with ceramic tiles in the kitchen and bathroom.
There are many options for decorating the walls in a wooden house inside. You need to choose the one that best suits the situation and financial capabilities.But there are a number of materials that are undesirable for interior decoration of a wooden house for various reasons.
What wall decoration to do in the bedroom
The walls occupy the largest area when decorating a bedroom; the background of the room, mood and style depend on their design. Someone likes calmer shades, there are lovers of bright, saturated colors.

To revive a boring room, you need to put small accents, for example, decorative panels
Thus, they will attract attention and not burden the entire interior.
Modern style in the bedroom can be achieved by using laminate panels in the headboard. This is a completely new trend that the leading designers from Europe and the West have come to love. To make the room look expensive and rich, one wall can be trimmed with leather or quilted velvet.
In the bedroom, absolutely any color scheme can be used, the main thing is that it is comfortable to be in the room. Dark shades should not alarm the owners, the main thing is to choose them correctly and combine them with other colors.
