More and more people are thinking about the environmental friendliness of their homes, so wood trim inside the house is gaining massive popularity. Indeed, this solution can be considered one of the best. It should be borne in mind that the material has many excellent qualities, but it is not devoid of some significant disadvantages. Working with wood is not always easy, but the result is worth it.
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 plank of various types of wood, which are connected according to the principle of "tongue and groove". This technology makes it possible to carry out installation in a short time. Due to the hidden fastening, the coating is very harmonious.
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 an excellent indoor atmosphere. If necessary, the coating can be re-colored.
On a note! Most often, the lining is laid on a pre-erected frame, which creates some difficulties, but allows you to make an additional layer of sound and heat insulation.
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 performed, 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.
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.
This product has several 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: for the manufacture of the product, a solid base is used, on which a thin veneer is glued (see photo).
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.
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.
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.
Using wood to decorate rooms
The use of material for work inside a wooden and brick house does not have significant differences, but in the first version, such a solution will be more preferable. In any case, a thorough preparation of the base is carried out. The product can be laid on the following surfaces:
- Floor. For this purpose, a simple processed board or board materials are used. Due to the high mechanical stress, the flooring must have excellent durability. To give a decorative look, various compositions are used. A well-finished floor can become an irreplaceable part of the interior.
- Walls. They are faced with various options. Careful preparation is of great importance, the surface should not have significant irregularities or defects.
- Ceiling. Wooden ceilings is a rather laborious task, because you first need to create a crate. But when done correctly, the effect is amazing. This method is more suitable for tall rooms.
Interior wood trim can be carried out in almost any room, but in order to achieve a more practical result, you should take into account the peculiarities of using the material for different rooms.
Kitchen area
For the kitchen, the product is selected based on the following nuances:
On a note! If the kitchen is small, then it is better to use the method of combining different materials.
Decorating the walls of the kitchen with wood Living room
Living room decoration rules:
These tips should be followed when decorating a bedroom. The main thing is to maintain harmony.
Houses made of wood have a unique splendor and beauty. The natural texture of the solid wood with original patterns creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. Correctly executed decoration of a wooden house inside a photo of examples of which can be seen in the selection will preserve the attractive appearance of the building for a long time and ensure the comfort of living.
The choice of materials for interior decoration of a wooden house should take into account a lot of individual factors and indicators. It is important to determine the time of residence and weather conditions of the region in which the building is located.
Using a house in the warm season does not require additional insulation, the use of facing materials, it is enough just to cover the wood with wood stain, varnish, tinting solutions.
A wooden house is able to maintain a unique temperature and humidity level, therefore, when choosing finishing materials, it is important to preserve the advantages of the microclimate and the naturalness of the structure. The decoration of walls and other surfaces must be environmentally friendly and safe. According to experts, the optimal finishing options should be similar to the types of wood of the main structure.
The influence of temperature and humidity during home use can affect the material, causing expansion or contraction, therefore it is better to make sure that the coefficients of the base and interior decoration match as much as possible. It is not recommended to use the coniferous massif in damp rooms and strong heating, due to the release of resins. It is important to maintain an individual approach when decorating different rooms of the house, taking into account the characteristics of each room.
Drywall
The decoration of the interior cladding of a wooden house using drywall in most cases is used to eliminate various defects, wall irregularities, or to hide communications. In some cases, plasterboard materials are used for finishing ceiling surfaces, or as additional interior partitions with imitation of natural textures.
In rooms with a high level of humidity, it is recommended to use materials with a moisture-resistant coating, with high temperatures - fire-resistant. Installation of drywall is best done on a lathing from a bar. For houses made of wood, it is not recommended to use structures made of metal profiles.
Lining
Modern types of clapboard clapboard photos are distinguished by their aesthetic appearance, simplicity and ease of installation. Special fasteners on the lamellas allow you to create a beautiful, even surface. The color palette of the material will be an excellent imitation of wood. The optimal area of application will be premises with high humidity: kitchen, bathroom, toilet.
The main advantages of the lining material:
- environmental friendliness;
- ease of installation;
- wide range of colors and shades;
- variety of varieties.
Among the disadvantages should be noted the high cost of the material and its exactingness in terms of care. Clapboard wall cladding is performed after preliminary work and the creation of a lathing from a bar. Before installation, the lamellas are thoroughly cleaned and dried. If necessary, solutions of ammonia or hydrogen peroxide are used to eliminate defects in the form of spots, stripes. At the final stage, the surface lined with clapboard is varnished, sanded and again treated with varnish.
Block house
The use of a block house for wall cladding will preserve the style and microclimate of a wooden house. The main advantages of the material include:
- environmental friendliness;
- mechanical strength;
- aesthetics;
- a light weight;
- ease of assembly.
The material has few drawbacks, but there are some among them, low vapor permeability and high flammability. The material is a good imitation of the texture of natural wood, as in the photo, with a high degree of decorativeness. It is recommended to use lamellas with a thickness of about 25 mm for interior decoration. Massive options will require a more durable lathing made of timber, which will significantly reduce the free space of the room.
After calculating the amount of material required, experts recommend adding about 10 percent more stock. The color of the lamellas from another batch may differ, which will adversely affect the appearance of the sheathing. Before starting work, the house block must acquire room temperature after lying in the room for about two days.
Stages of the main work:
- the installation of the material is carried out on a previously prepared lathing from a bar, in a step of 50 cm;
- for heat and sound insulation, it will be necessary to close the space between the bars with insulation;
- house block boards are connected using special protrusions on their surface, as in the photo;
- materials will require some care in the form of cleaning, periodic painting, or varnishing.
Clean log house
The interior decoration of the premises of a wooden house with a clean log house will preserve the style and naturalness of the residential structure, ensuring exceptional environmental friendliness and cleanliness of the finish. The coating will require systematic maintenance, renewal, and removal of dust and dirt.
It is also recommended to repeat sanding and finishing with varnish once every five years. The walls of a wooden house can be subject to shrinkage under the influence of moisture, temperature changes, drying of the timber, shrinkage. Finishing with a clean log house will not be able to hide this defect.
Recently, more and more people prefer to decorate private houses with a clean log house, which is due to the fact that such a finish is environmentally friendly, natural beauty, and durability. As for the disadvantages, this is a fairly large volume of material, which makes it difficult to dry, easy flammability and possible rotting.
Plaster
In wooden houses, this type of decoration, such as plaster, is very rarely used. As an exception, it can be used for decorative coating of certain areas. Plastering is done with textured material options.
The advantage of this type of coating is the ability to quickly and easily level surfaces, which can be seen in the photo. Also, the advantages of the material include:
- elasticity;
- preservation of the original properties for a long time;
- resistance to various mechanical influences;
- does not require careful maintenance;
- does not absorb dirt;
- excellent vapor permeability;
- variety of colors and textures.
The main disadvantages include the high cost of high-quality decorative materials. The specifics of a wooden house, taking into account periodic shrinkage, expansion under the influence of temperatures, will require repeating the finishing with putty every five years.
Painting
The surface of the timber without flaws with a flat, smooth surface can not be hidden behind the cladding, emphasizing the natural beauty, style, decorative staining. You will first need to sand and tint the walls. Small defects in the seams can be easily hidden under a special cord, which will create additional sealing, protecting against drafts.
Walls and ceilings are covered with a colored antiseptic or water-based paint. This treatment will provide an aesthetic appearance to the surface and allow the substrate to breathe. Colored antiseptics have many advantages:
- provide reliable protection against the emergence of pathogenic microorganisms (fungus, mold);
- preserve the structure of the tree, aesthetic appearance, prevent darkening;
- favorably emphasize the natural texture of the log house;
- create a beautiful tone, highlighting the natural patterns of the wood.
You can perform surface treatment with a colorless antiseptic composition, completing the coating with a tinting solution, adjusting the color intensity with the number of layers applied. Choosing a color like in the photo will help set the style of the room. There is a huge variety of shades of tinting composition with different types of finishes from exquisite gloss to silky matte texture.
Panels
Decorating with wall panels will help to emphasize the individual style of the interior. Materials are selected depending on personal preferences and interior solutions of the rooms. Panels can be made of laminated, veneered MDF with a good imitation of the pattern of wood, plastic, bamboo, natural wood, leather, gypsum.
The advantages of any wall panel include the following:
- relatively simple installation;
- excellent heat and sound insulation properties;
- attractive look.
In addition to the listed advantages, each of the specific types of panels has additional advantages. The same can be said about the disadvantages, which are individual for each type of material.
The size of the panels is selected individually. The assembly of the elements is very simple and is carried out using a tenon and groove system. You will first need to make a crate from a bar on which the panels are installed. The result is a smooth, seamless finish, optionally with wood imitation, that will easily fit into even the most intricate interior.
Floor surface decoration
The choice of flooring for a wooden house should be durable and reliable. Natural boards are able to emphasize the style of the room, making it a harmonious addition. Special treatment with varnish, antiseptic will protect the coating from moisture, prevent the development of pathogenic microorganisms.
Laminate flooring has a number of advantages, reducing installation time and providing a high degree of decorativeness.
Experts recommend using insulation that is laid on the rough surface before finishing. Thermal insulation will reliably protect from the cold. Foil insulators, mineral wool, or bulk photo materials are successfully used. Laying is carried out between the main beams. A gap of about two centimeters should be left between the subfloor with insulation and the finish.
Ceiling decoration
The design of the ceiling surface has many variations. The interior decoration of a wooden coffered house looks exquisite, beautiful, thanks to the original combination of decorative inserts and wood beams. A variant of painted ceilings is used in interiors to create a national style in the ethno style.
The ceilings of wooden houses can also be sheathed with clapboard, creating a flat surface. The play of shades and textures of the material allows you to highlight the color of the ceiling against the background of the wall cladding. Connoisseurs of natural beauty, using the country, loft style, can leave the ceiling unchanged, preserving the pristine beauty of wood with natural chips, cracks in the timber, beams.
The Scandinavian style in the photo for wooden houses is especially popular, characterized by laconicism and restraint in design. Minimalistic furnishings harmoniously convey the warmth and beauty of natural materials. Wood, as the main material, is present in decoration and decor. The original Scandinavian style will emphasize the individuality of the building and give it a complete look.
Premises with a high level of humidity will require special attention to the finishing of the ceiling. In this case, it is not recommended to leave the wood uncoated. In the bathroom, in the kitchen, it is rational to use tension structures. The PVC coating is resistant to moisture and steam and will reliably protect wooden surfaces. The species variety of textures, color solutions of stretch ceilings allows you to perform high-quality and stylish finishes.
The following materials will be the best options for finishing ceilings in a wooden house:
- laminate - looks great in ceiling decoration;
- stretch coverings - they will save if the house shrinks;
- veneered panels - go well with wood walls.

Veneered panels Wall cladding options
Decorating a wooden house inside can be done in various ways using modern materials with excellent quality characteristics. The choice of the design of the surface of the walls of the photo is based on individual preferences and the stylistic solution of the interior of the room. Materials with realistic imitation of timber, clapboard paneling are successfully used.
Wall cladding is carried out after the installation of communication systems, electrical wiring. Initially, you should check the surfaces under the level, making sure that the plane is flat. If there are irregularities, you will need to mount the frame, or the crate for laying the finishing material. The distance between the battens of the lathing from the timber should be from 40 to 70 cm. The space between them should be carefully filled with insulating material.
After fixing the insulation, you can proceed to the finishing cladding. Decorating with clapboard with imitation of natural timber will emphasize the style, original look, fill the atmosphere of the room with warmth and comfort. Before laying, it is important to check the material for defects, make sure there are no chips, knots or damage. At the final stage, the surface is treated with a special putty, sanded, covered with wood stain and paints and varnishes. Experts recommend giving preference to a semi-matt varnish coating; in interiors with a wooden finish, glossy compositions after several treatments acquire an unnatural shine.
If we talk about what material is better for wall decoration, then in the case of a wooden house, you can leave the natural look of the log house, having previously sanded it and tinted it. It is also worth applying an antiseptic or water-based paint to protect the wood. Any materials on a natural wooden base will also be an excellent option. If the financial situation allows, then you should pay attention to the cork covering, which has a lot of undeniable advantages.
The main stages of finishing work
Decorating a wooden house should be done in stages in compliance with all work rules. The main stages of finishing activities are:
- caulking;
- fine finishing of the walls;
- ceiling sheathing;
- laying flooring;
- staining;
- staining.
Caulking log seams Before proceeding with the finishing work, it is necessary to carry out mandatory measures for processing the base of the walls for bioprotection, fire protection of the house. Special compounds are used to protect the surface from various influences. High-quality processing can also ensure the decorative effect of the coating.
The final stage of construction is finishing the wooden house inside, and in this case, photos can help the owners decide on the style of the future home, but you will have to choose the materials yourself, as well as carry out a number of preparatory work. Wood has special requirements for subsequent finishing, therefore, when carrying out internal work, its properties and characteristics should be taken into account. In addition, do not forget that a house made of wood is not only beautiful and warm, but also has a special energy. Its design from the inside can either emphasize the unity and harmony with nature, creating an atmosphere of unique comfort, or be ultramodern, but no less comfortable.
When to carry out interior decoration work
Interior decoration of a house made of wood should be carried out only after the main shrinkage has passed (this applies only to "fresh" log cabins). At this stage, active shrinkage of the tree occurs, the timber or logs change their dimensions downward, and the insulation is pressed. If the interior decoration is done before the end of the shrinkage, then as a result, you can get a curved coating, which, moreover, can fall off and you will have to start all over again.
The duration of shrinkage is influenced by:
- House construction type.
- Material (timber, log, etc.), its initial moisture content.
- The climatic zone of construction.
- Construction time.
In particular, a house made of laminated veneer lumber gives the main shrinkage 3-4 weeks after construction, this is the fastest time. Other types of timber houses require months or even years to shrink. On average, interior finishing can be started only 10-12 months after the completion of the construction itself.
A lot of materials are used for construction, but residential buildings erected from wood do not cease to be popular. The atmosphere in a wooden house is characterized by positive energy and comfort. However, the interior decoration of a wooden house is accompanied by many nuances.
The easiest way to get a beautiful front lawn
You, of course, have seen the perfect lawn in the movies, in the alley, and possibly on the neighbor's lawn. Those who have ever tried to grow a green area on their site will no doubt say that this is a huge work. The lawn requires careful planting, care, fertilization, watering. However, only inexperienced gardeners think so, professionals have long known about an innovative tool - liquid lawn AquaGrazz.
Start of finishing works
It should be noted right away that it is not worth starting finishing work from the inside of the house, immediately after its construction. A structure made of wood should stand for some time and shrink. For houses built of laminated veneer lumber, this period is about a month. Other wooden houses must stand at least ten months before the start of the trimming work. The exact dates are determined based on the moisture content of the material, the climatic conditions of the region and the season. During this time, the wood used for construction dries up. Accordingly, the timber or logs decrease in size, and at the same time the insulation laid between the rows of the log house is compressed. A premature start of finishing work in a wooden house will lead to the fact that the cladding will be skewed or not adhered to the wall at all. In other words, haste to decorate a wooden house will lead to additional costs of time and money.
The crowns of the log house and their tightness
To ensure the tightness of the wooden walls of the house, you can use tow; moss is sometimes used as a jute material. The process of sealing the gaps between the crowns of a log house is called caulking. As a rule, caulk the log house in two steps. The first time this happens 1-1.5 months after the completion of construction, and the second after 6-8 months. The cracks between the rows of timber or logs are caulked immediately from the outside and from the inside. Otherwise, the structure may skew. Therefore, in the process, caulkers move along the walls of the house and seal them alternately on both sides. Caulking starts from the lowest rims.
It is worth noting that the log house after caulking becomes 5-7 centimeters higher. Then, the severity of the walls of the log house makes itself felt and it sinks. As a result, the insulation laid between the rows of timber or logs reliably seals the walls. The temperature in the house depends on the quality of these works. In addition to preserving heat, the second caulk allows you to eliminate small distortions that have arisen during the upsetting of the log house.
The interior decoration of the walls begins only after they are finally caulked, and the house itself has settled. The shrinkage process of the structure is checked using control measurements of the height of the walls. A wooden house is considered ready for interior decoration if, after the second caulking, the height of its walls has not changed in 90 days.
Sanding walls inside a wooden house
In some cases, finishing work inside a wooden house is not required. This is true for houses built from high-quality materials and, as a result, have a pleasant appearance, both outside and inside. In this case, you can significantly save money. It is enough to polish and paint the walls of such a house. A varnish is best used to protect the floor from abrasion. Walls and ceilings can be treated with special water-based paints and antiseptics. The surfaces treated by them will not lose their natural appearance, but on the contrary, the texture of the wooden walls will become more expressive. The use of antiseptics is necessary in any case, if, of course, you want to maintain a pleasant external design of wooden walls.
The seam from the caulking, between the rows of beams or logs, can spoil the impression of any wooden walls. Therefore, to refine such a seam, a twisted cord is used. It not only acts as a decorative decoration, but also additionally protects the premises from drafts.
Lathing and its meaning in the interior decoration of a wooden house
The walls of some houses will no longer benefit from sanding, this applies to excessively old or crooked buildings. For the interior decoration of such houses, options such as plasterboard products, wall paneling, decorative panels, etc. are used.
Installation of any such finishing material involves the use of a frame or lathing, which will level the curvature of the walls. In addition, the presence of the crate will allow the air to circulate freely. For a wooden structure, this is an important factor. As a result of the natural movement of air, the material of the walls will not change color and will not rot. only dry wood is not subject to these processes. The circulating air between the walls and the finishing materials will keep the wood of the walls in good condition.
The distance between the wall and the finish is also used for laying cables and wires of various communications: electricity or household appliances. By the way, electrical wiring in wooden houses should be installed only in pipes made of non-combustible material (corrugated stainless steel pipes are the most common). If necessary, a material providing thermal insulation is laid in the gap provided with the crate. However, if the house is kept at a comfortable temperature, you should not use any additional materials. The tree itself does a wonderful job of maintaining the right humidity in the room and unnecessary materials can do harm, not benefit.
However, fixing the finishing materials to the crate has its drawbacks. For example, if insects or rodents appear between the wall and the cladding, it will be quite difficult to eliminate them. However, before attaching the finishing materials to the wall, it will need to be leveled. A completely flat surface of wooden walls can be difficult to achieve, but with the right approach, it is quite possible. In order to close the gaps and gaps remaining between the wall and the cladding, special mastics are used. Once, instead of them, clay was used, but in some places it is still used. 
Regardless of the finishing materials, it is necessary that a gap of at least 20-40 millimeters remains between the cladding and the ceiling. This will play the role of insurance in case of additional shrinkage of the new house. For an older building, the gap will compensate for changes in the wooden walls. A material such as wood "breathes" its entire service life. Accordingly, it changes: it swells, having collected water, or dries up. The gap left under the ceiling in time will allow leaving the metamorphosis of wood walls without consequences for the facing materials. The lack of such a precaution is fraught with deformation or cracks for finishing materials. In order for the gap not to stand out against the general background, a ceiling plinth is used, it is rigidly fixed only to the ceiling.
Lining for interior decoration of a wooden house
Manufacturers offer a wide variety of cladding materials for interior decoration. However, to decorate a wooden house, they often resort to clapboard. It allows you to preserve the overall style and atmosphere of a wooden building. Such material can be used both for external decoration and for internal decoration (only the methods of their processing differ). The lining is of various types. Moreover, we are not talking about the wood from which it is made and not about its size. The profile of the lining, depending on the wishes of the customer, can be modified. Distinguish between wavy or even design of the material, as well as imitation of a bar or log (block house).
To decorate the walls inside a wooden house, 15-20 millimeters thick lining is used. Its cost is less than that of thicker counterparts, but such a material fulfills its tasks. You can arrange the lining boards in any order: horizontally, vertically, at an angle. Owners of remarkable patience and hard work are able to create whole pictures from the lining.
When fixing the lining on the crate or on the walls, do not forget about the possible shrinkage of the house. To compensate for possible changes in the wooden walls, leave a gap of 20-40 millimeters near the floor and ceiling.
Decorative wall panels
Often, decorative panels are used for interior decoration of houses and apartments. There are claddings made of different materials and imitating a variety of surfaces:
- MDF panels (veneered or laminated).
- Glass panels: smooth, corrugated, colored, matte, transparent.
- Polymer panels.
- Wood or bamboo panels.
- Leather panels.
The panels also differ in size, they are produced in the form of strips, assembled together or immediately in the form of a shield (sizes vary). The lining, by the way, is the same panel, but it stands apart because this material was used for finishing works long before the appearance of other similar products.
Decorative panels are fixed to the wall, usually with a lathing. The thickness and location of the bars, which depends on the type and size of the selected decorative panels. This finishing material is popular with designers and homeowners because the abundance of colors, sizes and materials allows for unusual, memorable interiors. Decorative panels also differ in price. For example, panels made of polymers and MDF are significantly cheaper than leather goods.
Some types of panels are mounted only with glue (plaster products), therefore, to fix them on the crate, they resort to additional gypsum fiber board or plywood. These are called backing panels and are attached to the battens in the first place. The main cladding panels are already glued to them.
Drywall in a wooden house
The interior decoration of the walls with plasterboard is no different from the decoration of premises from another material. Drywall is attached to a pre-assembled frame. True, as in other cases, it is necessary to leave a safety gap.
The main condition under which plasterboard wall decoration is allowed is the operation of the house for several years, i.e. the house must be warmed up and give final shrinkage. This is due to the fact that drywall is fragile, and with significant changes in the geometry of the walls, it will become unusable. It is possible to ignore such metamorphoses of wall surfaces if the frame is mobile. For this, its profiles are not fixed too rigidly to the walls.
When decorating walls with plasterboard, there is one more nuance: all docking joints and seams, as well as in the corners, the use of a reinforcing mesh is mandatory. The use of such a mesh will prevent or slow down the occurrence of cracks in problem areas.
Interior decoration of an old house made of wood
If the age of the wooden house in which the finishing work is planned is several decades, then the first step is to assess the safety of the wood. To do this, you will need to dismantle the entire old cladding. After that, carefully consider all the places that differ from the general background of the wall surface in color or texture of the picture. If necessary, suspicious areas should be checked by trying to damage them with a knife, screwdriver or chisel. If the tree everywhere has a dense structure and has no signs of mold or mildew, then you can start finishing work. In some cases, it is recommended to treat the wood with special impregnations. When using them, remember that such impregnations are based on chemical elements.
However, if the material of the walls crumbles from mechanical stress, then it is necessary to identify the causes of the destruction. The most likely options are the appearance of insects, mold and other microorganisms. Sometimes, a third-party specialist is invited to determine the methods of treatment for the infected section of the wall. Damaged sections of wooden walls must be dismantled and replaced; the areas adjacent to these elements will need to be intensively treated with special compounds.
After assessing the condition of the walls of the old house, and repairs carried out if necessary, you can proceed to the interior decoration. The work on the decoration of the premises of the old wooden house is carried out in the same order as described above. The only difference is that the safety gap should not be left.
Is a classic in construction. The popularity of the material does not decrease over time, but only increases. In this regard, the question arises of how to properly decorate the walls of a wooden house inside. To solve it, it is necessary to understand the specifics of wood construction, material characteristics and facing technology.
Features of interior wall decoration
Materials (edit)
Internal finishing work in a wooden house should be carried out only after the structure has shrunk. This may take from one and a half to two years, and for the final settlement it takes about five years. If it is necessary to finish a wooden house before full shrinkage occurs, the use of materials with special characteristics is required.
A wooden house is environmentally friendly
Design
Before finishing, you should determine the purpose of each room in a wooden house. Next, the interior is selected and the places for laying the sewer pipes, heating system and electrical wiring are determined. The implementation of these measures in this order will allow in the future to carry out finishing work without any obstacles and difficulties and violation of the integrity of surfaces.
Floor and ceiling
The construction of floors involves the creation of a structure consisting of two layers. This event also includes a device for reliable protection against moisture and heat loss, followed by creating a smooth surface using boards.
The floor can be laid on logs, on the ground using logs, laid on floor beams or on a solid base. When choosing an option, proceed from the design features of the house.
The resulting floor surface is subject to processing. For this, grinders of various types are used. You need to stock up on sandpaper of various grit and abrasive discs. In the final stages of sanding the floor, the floor should be thoroughly cleaned.
Floor device As a floor covering, it is recommended to use polymer compositions that are water-based. Its decoration can be carried out with any materials that are presented on the construction market: massive boards, parquet, laminate, carpet and a number of others.
The ceilings of a wooden house can be made smooth or not to take any action with it.
The optimal solution in the first case will be the construction of a stretch ceiling structure, in the second - only the application of a layer of varnish or paint. Finishing using lining or imitation of timber, panel material or drywall is popular.
Walls
At the first stage, finishing the walls of a wooden house includes processing the wood with special protective equipment and applying plaster to their surface. They must be pre-sanded and primed.
To obtain an attractive appearance of the walls, the layers of the covering material must be applied evenly.
In some cases, they resort to creating an additional heat-insulating layer inside. To do this, use mineral wool or foam, which are laid with the formation of a gap between the wall and the heat insulator. For the installation of insulation, a crate and a counter-lattice are constructed. Mineral wool is inserted into it, and steam and waterproofing is erected on top of it.
Wood itself, after proper processing, looks very aesthetically pleasing. It is enough to sand and varnish it, and the material will acquire a noble and attractive appearance.
The wood looks noble after processing If a decision is made on wall cladding, then any material suitable for this can be used.
Often, wallpaper is used for painting or a classic finish using wood.
When carrying out facing work, special attention is paid to the walls. To obtain a surface with high quality and good aesthetic properties, the following recommendations must be followed.
The direction of the wall cladding affects the visual perception of the space in the room. When finishing in the horizontal direction, the room expands, and vertically, the ceilings increase.
