Wooden house design: interior images, styles, decoration, furniture and decor.

Design Features

When decorating a house, the following nuances are taken into account:

• The best option for construction is wood that is harvested in Karelia or Finland. Due to the low temperature, the annual rings of trees are located more densely and therefore the logs are very durable.
• Windows that are not large enough will make the atmosphere in the room too oppressive and dark.
• The space should not be cluttered with unnecessary furniture, so that the basis of the interior, in the form of walls, floor and ceiling, is not lost against the general background.
• The interior is thought out to the smallest detail and includes only structural elements.
• The main advantage of such an interior is the ability to combine all natural materials and thereby create a natural and harmonious environment.

Options for decorating the interior space.

Kitchen and dining room

In the kitchen, the natural log finish of the walls is mainly left. Sometimes, depending on the style solution, plaster or paint is used as a finish. The apron is laid out with ceramics, for example, made to look like patchwork.

In the design of the kitchen-living room, the work space is visually highlighted by a bar counter, island, table, or a podium is constructed. The kitchen combined with the dining room will be perfectly complemented by a spacious wooden table.

Living room

In the interior of the living room, the main central element of the decor can be a fireplace, decorated with a cast-iron grate, a pipe or faced with stonework and heat-resistant tiles. The original appearance of the walls is covered with varnish or paint in light colors to preserve the natural wood texture.

A contrasting combination with wood is created by stonework, which is used to decorate the TV area or the place near the fireplace. If there is a high ceiling, it is decorated with dark-colored beams. In a living room with a low ceiling, wooden panels or paint in pastel shades are used. It is advisable not to clutter the room with furniture. It is enough to install a sofa, armchairs and a coffee table.

Bedroom

Natural wood texture favorably sets off various accent details. Eco-friendly materials promote healthy sleep and comfortable rest. A bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers become mandatory attributes of the bedroom. The interior can be furnished with a hanging chair or frameless furniture.

Hallway

Varnish coating is used as additional protection for the walls and to give them the desired shade. Such a plane can be effectively decorated with family photos, paintings or wall clocks.

Children’s room

The children’s bedroom is decorated in clean and light colors using durable, absolutely safe and aesthetically pleasing materials and furniture items. A rounded log allows you to create a fairy-tale atmosphere in the room.

To create accents on a neutral wood background, bright bed linen, ruffles, carpet, pictures or colorful children’s drawings will do.

Study

The interior of a home office looks especially advantageous in a wooden design. Thanks to natural wood, the room acquires a businesslike character and a subtle sense of style. A dark wood desk, closed shelves for storing office supplies and papers, bookcases and a laconic chandelier will fit perfectly into such an environment.

Bathroom

Cylindrical logs are harmoniously and very interestingly combined with modern plumbing. Glass shelves or tables, porcelain stoneware countertops and metal elements are selected for the wood paneling. Wooden furniture, which helps create a cozy and homely atmosphere, wicker laundry baskets and wrought iron shelves look no less attractive.

It is important to install an exhaust fan in the bathroom and to tile certain areas to protect the surface from moisture.

Photos in various styles

Currently, there are many styles that can be chosen for the design of both a two-story country cottage and a one-story log cottage.

Scandinavian style in a wooden house

The interior of a log house involves an open layout, plenty of natural light, high windows and wide doorways. The main color palette includes white, gray and beige tones. The decor is laconic, practical and does not accept excessive decor.

Light curtains or blinds are preferred for window decoration. Furniture items are chosen from light wood species. Here, it is appropriate to install sliding, folding structures equipped with drawers for storing things. Bright accents can be patterns in the paneling or decoration. Here, decorative elements in the northern or marine style are appropriate, for example, figurines in the form of fish, deer or Christmas trees.

Log house in Provence style

The style suggests pastel colors range, decor in the form of live or dried flowers. The walls and ceiling are painted in soft tones, white doors are installed, and the floor is laid out with textured boards or terracotta tiles.

The interior includes simple antique furniture items with rough outlines and a worn surface. For beds, it is appropriate to have a wrought-iron headboard.

Provence is characterized by natural textiles such as cotton, chintz or linen, which can be found in the design of napkins, tablecloths, pillows or curtains. The rustic design is complemented by a variety of decorative accessories in the form of various hanging shelves, paintings, wicker baskets, vases, dishes and more.

Russian style in the interior

In the design of the room, solid wood is used, which is used in the manufacture of tables, chairs, benches, kitchen furniture, chests of drawers and other items. If there is built-in equipment, it is covered with facades.

The interior is decorated with a variety of textiles in the form of napkins, tablecloths, bedspreads or towels with hand embroidery. Furniture items, door frames and stair railings have carved details. Wardrobes and chests of drawers are replaced with elegant antique chests and caskets.

Log house in the chalet style

For an Alpine chalet, untreated wood, stonework, rough fabric and leather are used in the design. The rooms are furnished with simple large-sized furniture with an antique effect and decorated with ceramics, dried mountain flowers, tapestries and other decor. The interior of a log house is complemented with carpets, blankets or skins. The fireplace or doorways are faced with stone.

Interior decoration

If the house is made of calibrated logs with an even coating, sanding is used, and then the surface is varnished. Walls covered with varnish can have different shades, for example, beige or white. Light design looks lighter, airier and helps to increase the space.

Depending on the interior style, a contrasting design can be used for the wall plane. Due to proper processing, this eco-material creates the right microclimate in the room and has a positive effect on human health.

A wooden log house will be effectively decorated with a floor with varnished boards. For a design made in a more elegant style, parquet is suitable. Tiles imitating wood will help to give the flooring a characteristic texture. A fairly popular option for decorating the ceiling are decorative or natural beams, which can differ in thickness and color.

Textiles

To create subdued light in the house, use thicker roller blinds. In dark rooms with insufficient natural light, it is appropriate to use translucent tulle. Curtains decorated with garters or braid will add special sophistication to the setting. Windows can also be decorated with not too lush lambrequins.

Textile decor can significantly enliven the surrounding space. Sofa cushions, bedspreads, blankets and handmade tablecloths are relevant here. Common options include patchwork, woolen carpets, or animal skins.

Lighting

A pendant chandelier with several shades or candles is most often chosen as overhead lighting. In addition to it, spotlights are installed, wall and table lighting is organized, and sometimes floor lighting is equipped. To give the interior a more natural look, you can use lighting fixtures made of wood, textiles, ceramics or rice paper.

A good solution is a zoned lighting option for each functional area, for example, a guest room, a fireplace, a dining room, and others. With this technique, you can clearly organize the space and make it much lighter.

Furniture and decor

The furniture can be very diverse in form. In country houses, soft sofas, armchairs with textile, leather upholstery or wicker design are used. To decorate the furnishings, choose cabinets with glass doors. As a table, a round or rectangular model on unusual legs is better suited.

A variety of framed paintings, clay jugs or painted dishes will help to enliven the atmosphere. An embroidered tablecloth or a vase with flowers will make a beautiful table decor.

Design options

The interior of a private log house usually features massive unpainted stairs. In addition to the functional load, they play the role of decorating the room and are a link between different floors.

Stair railings decorated with carving or gilding will fill the design with special color. To increase the usable area in houses with an attic, the attic space is often equipped as a living room.

The area of a small country cottage made of logs can be visually increased by means of panoramic windows or a second light. Thanks to open structures across the entire wall from floor to ceiling, it is possible to fill the space with volume and give it solidity.

A fireplace is considered to be a practically traditional element of a log house. Such materials as ceramics, porcelain, stone, brick or metal are chosen for its cladding. Sometimes a special wooden finish is used, turning the hearth into the main art object of the room.
