Ideas walls in the

use of load-bearing structures

Before finishing the walls in the country with their own hands, carefully look around - perhaps the very design of the house is already hints at the fact that we can reduce repairs to a minimum, it is advantageous defeating available surface.Very often people do not notice that in the interior can be advantageous to use the constructive elements of the house: beams, walls, roof or the walls themselves.

best to get this finish in lumber and log homes, since the tree is easy and pleasant to work - it is only necessary to clean the surface, treat with antiseptic and cover it with varnish.If desired, you can artificially aged wood stain or tint it to simulate an expensive breed.

If the home has an attic, feel free to use in creating interior rafters and ceiling beams.Many simply cover them with boards or gypsum board, forming the familiar and boring ceiling, but why should deliberately reduce the space where you can enjoy spacious and beautifully beat rafters, decorated with their lighting fixtures or decorative elements.Try to cover their contrasting color relative to the other surfaces.To enhance the heat insulation, lay insulation between the rafters, and then sew these gaps boards, paneling, or block-house, imitating the timber.To visually expand the space even more, place the strips than across the rafters and along them.Please add any decorative wood trim can be natural or artificial stone.These two natural materials blends perfectly with each other and create a favorable atmosphere in the house quiet.

If your cottage is built of brick, its structural elements can also be beneficial to present as decorative.For example, try to leave without finishing a brick wall, cleaning the surface, processed seams and coated with a protective varnish.Will only complement the interior of metallic accessories, put the glass table, vintage clothes hanger iron or minimalist sculpture, and you get a stylish accommodation in a loft style.If the brick is not sanded with sandpaper, and left as it is, you can create an imitation of ancient masonry interior and beat properly.Naturally, the cost of such a "finish" will be meager.

Wooden

Wood trim - the most common option for questioning.The most suitable material is wood paneling, as it not only looks attractive, but also different strength, durability and ease of installation.Even the most miniature cottage can be converted into a cozy "nest" with linings made of wood, and if you cover it with a special transparent impregnation, it is possible to emphasize the unique natural pattern.

If you've always dreamed of living in a log cabin, but the fate become generous only to brick or concrete cottage, obsheyte wall block house, to create the effect of log walls.But best of all, of course, the use of materials made of natural wood, because only in this case, you can count on a unique atmosphere that can prevail only in a wooden house.

tree can be used not only for the immediate cladding, but also to change the geometry of space.For example, you can build a niche and shelves, at the same time cutting off the walls, creating a decorative surface and introducing a functional element in the interior.Thus, you will avoid additional costs for the purchase of furniture and save space.The tree - an ideal material for finishing small areas, because it allows you to use all the "outside" corners.

Plywood is derived wood material, it is also often used in interior decoration of the walls in the country.It is inexpensive, produces a perfectly flat surface that helps to quickly and accurately close the insulation.Plywood well bend, so it can help to build arched passageways.In most cases, plywood sheets require subsequent decorative finishes, but there are models with beautiful wood texture that simply varnished.Painting plywood is no different from the usual coloring of wood: impregnating coat, stain, apply paint or varnish.

Tip: Before all the walls in the room were decorated with the same, and it is still considered normal.But in fairness it should be noted that it is strongly outdated method.Try to "dilute" the same type of interior, covering one of the walls is not wood, but, for example, decorative stone or paint.Such an option will look much more interesting and dynamic.Alternatively, you can use the same wood material, but another plan, for example, cork or laminate.
