Recently, the fashion for wooden houses has returned. The atmosphere in them is completely different, breathe easier, sleep better. Who does not believe – check. Visit such a wooden house and feel the difference. You will light up and want to have such a house, even the complexity of care for it will not be so frightening.
Development and interior design of wooden houses made of logs and beams, one of the most interesting and complex areas. Wood itself is beautiful, but a large amount of it can tire. We have to tint the walls in some rooms in uncharacteristic tones for wood, diluting some monotony in the design of walls, ceiling and floor.

As you have noticed, even the changed walls have not bright colors. In the country house, all interiors are calm, disposing to rest, promoting relaxation.

House with a fireplace

It is good when the cottage has a fireplace, even a small, electric, but there is. And more often, since the area usually allow folding full-fledged fireplaces. In the design of this room is dominated by them. And the design can be different – classic or Scandinavian. The male half likes rooms decorated in the style of a hunting lodge.
And if there is a fireplace, it is more convenient and safer to lay it out with stone. Especially since the combination of wood and stone always wins. This combination inspires a subconscious feeling of stability. Very much like to spend evenings in such rooms.

Different styles and forms of fireplaces in the photo, differently inscribed in the interior, but the feeling of coziness is present in any variant.

Rustic style

For a wooden house, the rustic style is a godsend. If you like “not starchy” interiors, of course. It is designed to emphasize the natural beauty of materials, without hiding its shortcomings. In such an interior there is no place for plasterboard or shiny ceilings. In some ways it echoes the style of country or Russian, but has differences. Emphasized brutality and emphasizing the natural imperfection of materials.
Perfectly straight trees do not exist. Well and great, emphasize toning irregularities and notches use them as load-bearing beams of the ceiling. It can be lined with the same non-ideal boards. It is also known that wood without treatment turns blue and dark. That’s okay too, it has a rough appeal. But the room is definitely environmentally safe, no chemical impregnations.

Country style

Interiors of houses and cottages from a log or logs in the style of “country” can be called a classic of the genre. They are simply very well combined. Characteristic of this style are natural materials, an abundance of textiles, reliable furniture, simple design, different lamps – wall and table lamps. In the kitchen and dining room, even in the living room, there may be a considerable amount of dishes on display. But the dishes are not flashy, but simple and durable.

Although it is acceptable here is a lot of color, it should not be shouting – natural colors and shades. Especially welcome homespun, woven and knitted things. In general, the interiors of country houses in the country style give coziness and comfort. These are their main features.

Classic

Classics in interior decoration and design are always in trend. Win-win option, to give a modern sound to which you can give a couple of minor touches and changes. For the classics are characterized by natural materials and colors, but everything should be kept in the colors of the same range, with some dim accents. That is why such interiors “do not stress” – calm and peaceful.
Also for the classics is characterized by the presence of some center, around which the rest of the interior is built. In the dining room it is, as a rule, a table, in the living room – a sofa group or a fireplace with attached chairs. It is also characteristic of the desire for symmetry and preservation of proportions in everything, two tables on the sides of the doorway, symmetrical and clear arrangement of armchairs, etc. Lighting usually has several “tiers”: general ceiling, sconces on the walls and lamps on tables, drawers, etc.
Furniture for the classic style is expensive and thorough, textiles are few and also expensive. In general, the interiors of such private houses and cottages can be described as stability, affluence, luxury.

Modern style

In combination with wooden walls, even the most fashionable trends are not so aggressive. Although it is unlikely that someone will come to mind to make a shiny surface from a wooden wall, it is too beautiful wood to hide its pattern.

The above interiors of country houses and cottages are part real, part are projects. We hope you have formed an opinion, in what style you want to design your country dwelling.
