Non-traumatic puzzle that is glued instead of folded
Over the past five years, I have increasingly received requests to develop an interior in a rustic, ethnic or eco style. And almost always the condition is that the budget will be limited. But a small budget is not a hindrance, since I have a ready-made recipe for all occasions.
For such projects I always use wood-look wallpaper . What they are like, how much you can buy them for and how best to use such decor - read about everything in today’s article.
Wooden house - unity of design idea
It is important to ensure that the interior of a wooden house is a continuation of the exterior design of the building. In this way, it will be possible to achieve unity of design thought and maintain the integrity of the entire drawing.
Wooden houses, even without additional finishing, have a certain charm. They are unique and therefore, when arranging, you can resort to using different stylistic directions. At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary to focus on one of them - a combination of styles can provide maximum visual effect.
Natural wood and appropriate lighting can create an impeccable interior of a country house
Advice! When designing a wooden house, additional elements are often used. Such details can attract attention and emphasize belonging to one of the styles.
Moreover, if the overall color scheme is quite pale, then the auxiliary elements can be bright. The contrast effect can add some zest to the design.
Design details
When arranging the interior design of a wooden house, many questions arise. It is important to take into account all the nuances of performing the work so that the result is as positive as possible.

The interior of a wooden house must be designed in accordance with all the requirements and wishes of the owners. It is important to take into account every detail, choose the best arrangement of furniture, and not clutter the space with unnecessary objects.
Lighting design needs to be given no less attention. In a well-lit room, the familiar environment will sparkle in a new way.

Materials used
The interior of a country wooden house should be equipped using natural materials. Considering the high environmental friendliness of wood, the quality of finishing materials should also be quite high.
Walls are often left untouched - pre-treatment with special varnishes is enough. Sometimes drywall is used. The floor is made using cork, parquet or laminate.

Color solution
The overall color scheme is determined based on the area of a single room and its value. With the help of small tricks, a small room can be enlarged using light pastel colors. Bright shades, in turn, can make a large room much more comfortable.

What are the benefits of wallpaper that imitates wood texture?
Using wallpaper with a wood texture, you can use every centimeter of the surface being designed.
The financial issue is the main, but not the only reason why they try to replace natural materials with imitation. Here are some more good reasons:
This imitation of laying boards can hardly be distinguished from the real thing.
- Some types of natural raw materials are difficult to process;
- Sometimes elements of natural decor are inconvenient in everyday life;
- Some plant finishes may require special care;
- Certain materials (for example, bamboo) can cause allergies.

If we consider wood-imitating canvases, we can find several significant advantages:
- A quick result - natural materials cannot be rushed, and production together with delivery would have required at least a month, but here, in literally 1-2 days, you can get a fully decorated room;
This type of natural product would require a lot of work.
- Space saving - due to its small thickness, the wallpaper will take up a minimum of space on top of the walls, which cannot be said about bamboo sheets or beams;
When there is no room for a wood storage, photo wallpaper will replace it
- Canvases with wood texture are visually “alive” - a room decorated in this way looks inhabited and cozy;
Decorating the bedroom makes it warm and suitable for sleeping
- Reasonable prices - sometimes buying canvases with an imitation of natural texture is several times cheaper than finishing with natural materials.
Proper lighting creates the effect of a voluminous wooden panel
Overall, wood-look wallpaper for walls looks great, is significantly cheaper, and is easy to use and care for. That’s why I confidently recommend them to everyone who wants to create a cozy and beautiful environment at home.
Popular interior styles
The interior of a log wooden house can be decorated using various styles. Each of them is able to emphasize the inner wealth of the owner of the house. The most commonly used styles are country, high-tech, pretentious kitsch, minimalism and art deco.
- Minimalism is a great solution for practical people. It involves the use of functional furniture and the implementation of neutral colors.
- Pretentious kitsch is a kind of embodiment of art house using expensive decorative elements. It is distinguished by its catchiness and is perfect for people leading an active lifestyle who do not like monotony and everyday life.
- High-tech will always be in demand due to practicality. An ideal solution for people who love order and functionality of the room.
- Country music best emphasizes all the best qualities of wood as a material. Houses decorated in this style are in great demand.
A riot of colors and a combination of different materials make this interior special.

This direction involves the use of pastel colors, natural materials, furniture with high functionality and the installation of large windows that can make the room as bright as possible.

Kitchen
- The kitchen is the place where food preparation takes place. Provided that space in the house is limited, this room also serves as a dining room. For this reason, it is also necessary to decorate the interior of a dining room in a wooden house.
- All household members should feel free when they are in this room, so it is important to take care of selecting practical but functional furniture.

- The walls are decorated with thematic paintings or decorative elements.

Wood today continues to be actively used in design and construction. This material is highly environmentally friendly, has a long service life, an attractive appearance, and is also highly resistant to various mechanical damage.
Naturally, the use of wood requires increased attention. Wooden buildings are susceptible to the negative effects of living microorganisms, have shrinkage and are positioned as buildings with a high degree of fire hazard.
Important! To minimize the possible risk and maximize the possible operational period of the structure, it is necessary to resort to the use of special protective and antibacterial agents.
A special word about the drawings
Wood pattern example
I have repeatedly been convinced that wood-effect wallpaper in the interior looks advantageous if it is presented correctly. In some places it is necessary to cover the entire room, while in others you only need to finish one wall or a small segment. It all depends on the drawing.
The drawing may look like this
If the print is quite monotonous, it does not tire the eye, and being in a room decorated in this way does not cause negative emotions.
An example of an ideal combination - wood wallpaper for table tops
Conversely, there should not be a lot of bright and catchy designs. One or two accents will be enough, for example, a panel and a repeat in the form of a table top, as in the photo above. In this case, this combination is not annoying, because accents are used in doses.
Wallpaper with a pattern of trees is also universal. In no case do I urge you to buy Woods Wallpaper produced by Cole & Son, since the price per roll reaches $100-130. And this is no longer economical.
But interiors using such wallpaper may well serve as wonderful examples for inspiration. You can create a similar setting with your own hands, and as a wall covering you can choose canvases that are similar in color or pattern.
Where to use wallpaper with wood imitation
A wall puzzle will delight all library patrons
First of all, I note that wood trim is appropriate for certain style decisions. As I mentioned at the beginning, most often they resort to wood motifs when they want to create a rustic, eco-style or some kind of ethnic trend.
The kitchen is a suitable place to decorate the walls with wood.
Imitation wood can be used in the design of any room. Due to the wood decor, the kitchen interior will become much more comfortable. What housewife wouldn't want to spend more time in such a kitchen?

In the bedroom and in the children's room, such finishing is also welcome, firstly, for reasons of safety, and secondly, because of hypoallergenicity. And since bedrooms are usually oversized, it will be enough to decorate a small fragment of the room with wood-look wallpaper.
Photo wallpaper with a woodpile will add coziness to any living room
In the living room, both canvases that imitate wood and photo wallpapers would be appropriate. And if the former make the room comfortable, the latter will become a real decoration of the room.

Upon completion of the construction of a wooden house, another very important question arises - we are talking about arranging the building from the inside.
The interior decoration of a house made of timber is important because the result of the work done will determine how comfortable living in the newly built house will be.
Unity of warmth and comfort in every centimeter of the room
It is especially important to correctly design the design of each individual room; if you have certain knowledge and skills, you can solve this issue yourself.

For reference! The price for using the services of such companies will remain on average at 250-300 rubles per square meter.
Stages of interior finishing of a wooden house
Compliance with the sequence of finishing work is the key to achieving a positive result. There are several stages that include the interior decoration of a log house:
- Construction, as well as insulation of the ceiling and floor;
- Implementation of window and door openings with frames;
- Decorating the interior walls of a wooden house, covering the ceiling.
Important! At all stages of the work, one should not forget about the characteristics of a material such as wood. Sudden changes in temperature can negatively affect both the external and internal walls of the house. In particular, natural wood can dry out or crack.

Painting walls
This finishing option is very simple and cheap. It allows you to create a unique interior design and make the room as comfortable as possible. Along with this, you should carefully approach the preparation of this procedure so that the final result is positive.
- It is recommended to first test the combination of the selected material on a separate piece of wood. In this way, it will be possible to judge how suitable the color scheme will be upon completion of the work. If necessary, you will have to slightly change the shades by adding another material or even abandon the selected color.
- Before applying the material, the wall surface should be well prepared. This means cleaning it from dust, traces of dirt, unevenness and roughness. Cleaning can be done by using sandpaper.
- After this, puttying and priming of the surface should be done. The paint is applied to a dry wall, so after priming it is necessary to pause for one day. Exactly enough is required for the primer layer to dry.
Important! To carry out wall painting work, you must choose a material that is non-toxic and suitable for use in the home. It is recommended that you consult with experts in the field before making a purchase.

Wall decoration
The type and quality of finishing directly affects the interior of the premises, so this issue must be approached thoroughly and carefully. It is better to seek help from specialists who will carry out all the work, give important advice and ensure high-quality results.
Very often natural wood is used in decoration. Finishing an old house can be carried out by restoring old surfaces or installing new ones.

Old surfaces are sanded well, then special materials are used. This allows you to preserve the texture of the wood and reveal the pattern. Antiseptics with painting pigments can also be used. The joints are sealed with twisted cord. Natural coating saves money and processing time and preserves the original appearance of the material. However, it is impossible to correct defects after drying and shrinking, and the treatment process must be repeated every five years. For the floor it is better to use varnish.
If for some reason the interior decoration of an old wooden house does not allow the use of sanding, then it is necessary to use other materials. However, additional costs will be required for arranging the frame.

Air will circulate between the surfaces; communications in pipes and insulation can be laid in the space. There should be a gap to the ceiling for the house to shrink. You can cover it with a plinth. It must be mounted to the ceiling.
Lining
This is one of the most popular materials, which resembles natural wood in characteristics and appearance. Divided into three types:
- polished board without cutouts, fastening with self-tapping screws/nails, low price, small thickness, chips may appear, sometimes curvature occurs as a result of shrinkage, low performance;
- smooth surface , lock, universal option, reliable installation, attractive appearance;
- The block house imitates the surfaces of natural materials, is connected with a special lock, has a beautiful appearance, and is used only for interior work.

Any of these materials requires treatment with an antiseptic and similar compounds. As a result, you can get a house with beautiful walls, hide communications and wall imperfections, and insulate it. However, such materials have low fire safety and a fairly high cost of the entire technological process.
Wall panels
They have great design possibilities. With this material you can create surfaces that are completely different in texture and style. Bamboo, leather, wood, glass, plastic or MDF are used to create panels. Panels can be panel or type-setting. They are mounted on a special frame or glue with a plywood backing.

Drywall
Using this material you can change the size of rooms and create architectural forms. Designers create a variety of original projects. Installation is carried out on the frame using self-tapping screws. Drywall is used indoors only. The material and work are affordable, and communications can be hidden under it. However, it has low strength, which makes it impossible to withstand mechanical loads. In addition, surface leveling and additional processing are required.

Plastic
These are special lightweight panels that look like clapboard. They can have different colors, textures, are mounted on a frame, and are connected to each other with a lock. Using panels you can create patterns. Communications are hidden under them, insulation is carried out, a layer of vapor barrier is laid, and so on. All electrical wiring is laid in protective pipes.

Before work
You can start finishing the house made of wood after shrinkage. For buildings made of laminated veneer lumber, this period is 2-3 months; for log houses and regular timber, shrinkage can take up to one year. The shrinkage period depends on a number of factors. The main ones are temperature and humidity of the environment.
Not only finishing work can begin after shrinkage - this also applies to the installation of doors and windows Source banya-expert.com
Work should begin only after caulking the joints. An important factor is the treatment of wood with agents against the development of fungus and mold. Fire safety materials for wooden structures are also used.
The selected building materials must allow air to pass through. If sealed materials are used, then in this case, in order to ensure a normal microclimate, it is necessary to create a forced ventilation system. This leads to additional costs. In addition, the materials must be light so that they do not greatly affect the foundation and walls and do not increase the load.
The combination of wood and wallpaper in the interior: combination options
Any wooden wallpaper can be combined with regular ones.
Wallpaper in neutral colors is perfect for wooden wallpaper: it will not distract attention from wallpaper with a wooden print.
A combination of wallpaper on one wall helps visually change the dimensions of the room:
- The horizontal division into a light top and dark bottom adds volume to the room;
- Vertical division, light edges and dark center increases the plane of the wall;
- Vertical division, dark edges and a light center narrow the plane of the wall.
If different types of wallpaper are used on different walls, it is more profitable to create an accent wall that is different from the other 3 in color.
Using combined wallpaper, you can decorate niches, window slopes and divide the room into zones.
