Living room in a wooden house: simple and original interior design options

The living room is a special room in any home. This is where family members and guests spend a lot of time together. It is very important to create comfortable conditions in this location. At the same time, the design should be stylish, attractive and relevant. Consider in the article options for decorating a living room in a wooden house.

The hall, or living room, is considered the largest and most visited part of any home. The design should be pleasing to all residents. The design of this location has its own characteristics. If we are talking about a room in a house made of wood, first of all it is necessary to emphasize the beauty of the natural material. Wood is actively used in the field of housing construction, the manufacture of finishing materials and the manufacture of furniture. The material is highly regarded for its many benefits and durability.

Designers believe that houses made of logs, beams and planks are an excellent base for creative experimentation. In this case, certain parameters must be taken into account when decorating. The main color range consists of soft and natural colors. The furniture and accessories used to furnish the room are predominantly made of wood. A fireplace will perfectly fit into such a living room. It will perfectly cope with the role of an accent and will give the atmosphere a special comfort and warmth.

If, when decorating a room, the tree retained the most natural look, decorators note the following positive aspects of such an interior.

• Natural materials are completely environmentally friendly. They are safe for people, animals, and the environment. Unlike man-made materials, wood does not emit hazardous substances.
• Wood fills the room with a special scent. Some breeds have medicinal properties.
• The material is associated with nature, which creates a peaceful and comfortable stop in the room. In such a room it will be pleasant to relax after a busy day.
• Using this material as a decoration, it will not be difficult for a specialist to develop an individual living room project.
• When arranging a room in a wooden house, there is no need to spend money on synthetic finishing materials, which saves money.

But, like any material, wood finishing has its negative sides. It is imperative that you familiarize yourself with them before designing and implementing the interior.

• Open walls and other wood accessories are susceptible to mold and rot. There is also the problem of small insects that grow in crevices. To avoid this, it is necessary to carry out processing with special compounds.
• Wood is a highly flammable material. Be careful when using open flames and heat sources.
• The material is sensitive to temperatures, dampness and other environmental changes. If there is high humidity in the rooms, the wood will begin to swell, and the high temperature will lead to drying out. Such changes cause loss of shape.

When decorating a hall in a wooden house, experienced decorators are guided by certain principles. Walls made from natural raw materials are varnished with several layers. This treatment allows you to protect the natural material without overlapping its original color and pattern. For flooring, choose a natural board; high-quality parquet is also suitable. If material resources are limited, laminate with a wood look is used. This design will be combined with wall decoration without destroying the overall concept. Open beams look great. They will perfectly fit into the decor of a room with a high ceiling.

Wood is in perfect harmony with finishes made from other natural materials, such as natural stone. Strong and durable stone is perfect for cladding the area around the fireplace. Be careful when using this material - it will visually burden the situation.

When creating an original decor project it is recommended to consider the following principles.

• Furniture and other large items are selected taking into account the dimensions of the room, as well as the aspect ratio. Give preference to multifunctional models that combine practicality and comfort.
• Lighting is of great importance. It should be versatile and powerful enough, especially when it comes to a large room. The center light will not be enough.
• Even when designing an interior for a spacious room, try to keep as much free space as possible.
• To hide the flaws in the layout, you should arrange the visual center - it will focus on itself. This can be a fireplace, a dining table with chairs, or one of the walls that stands out from the general background.

For a comfortable and convenient division of space into different areas, a zoning technique is used. With its help, you can effectively use the room, dividing it into separate functional zones.

• Dinner Zone. A comfortable and roomy table with chairs is placed here, where the family and guests can eat.
• Rest zone. This cozy location has upholstered furniture and a TV.For a small room, it is better to use transforming models. A fireplace can be installed in a spacious room.
• Active pastime zone. This is a zone for those who prefer to devote their free time to hobbies. Musical instruments, an easel for painting and so on are often placed here.

Live fire brings a special chic to the interior. A bright and energetic element looks perfect against a wood background. An element such as a fireplace is ideal for a country living room. It will play an important role in creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. In the country, it is easier to install a fireplace with real fire. The range of modern models is varied. From large and luxurious options to compact and laconic. Thanks to a wide selection, it is possible to choose the ideal option, taking into account the style of the interior and the financial capabilities of the client.

Models with a wood-burning stove are in great demand. Fireplaces of this type, in addition to decorative purposes, perform an important practical function - heating the room in the cold season. Such products are characterized by a spectacular appearance and large dimensions.

Electric fireplaces in the interior of the wooden hall are also used. They are safer and more convenient to use, but even the highest quality imitation cannot be compared with a "live" flame. Above the fireplace, as a rule, various accessories are installed: caskets, vases, paintings, souvenirs and much more. All this adds elegance and expressiveness to the decor. When placing decorations, remember that there should not be too many of them.

To decorate a room competently and tastefully, you should choose the right interior style. In some stylistic directions, wood fits especially well.

The basis of this style, which came to us from America, is the use of natural wood in large quantities (surface finishing, furniture, decorative items). The basic palette consists of natural and warm colors. All this creates home comfort in the room.

Complement the interior with fabric elements. Pillows, carpets, curtains, tablecloths and other things must be consistent with the style. They have a simple form and blend harmoniously into the composition. Synthetic materials are practically not used.

The French style room is filled with light and lightness. The main colors are neutral and pastel colors. This design is followed both when choosing furniture and when cladding walls, floors and ceilings. The use of plant and flower images is also characteristic.

Another characteristic feature of the style is the exposed beams. The atmosphere of comfort is complemented by framed photographs, paintings, curtains made of light fabrics, neat pillows.

The classic style is characterized by luxury and elegance. It is better to choose such a decor for spacious rooms, since the style involves a large number of decorative elements. In the living room, furniture is installed, decorated with patterns, gilded or silver details and figured elements. Natural materials are used for finishing horizontal and vertical surfaces. In addition to wood, expensive textile materials are chosen. Window openings are decorated with floor curtains.
