Interior of a living room in a wooden house made of timber: photo of the design of combined rooms

A house made of wood is the dream of many people, regardless of age and life goals. There is no other material as capable as wood of creating comfort at any time of the year. The heart of such a house, of course, will be the living room, since this room is entrusted with the mission of uniting all family members.

When decorating a living room in a house made of timber, it is necessary to take into account the special atmosphere created by this building material

Choosing a style direction in the interior of a living room in a wooden house

The difficulty in choosing the interior design style of a wooden house lies primarily in the fact that the walls in it themselves are a decorative element.

To reduce the cost of finishing materials, it is best to choose style directions that welcome wood texture

Russian style

Lovers of traditional Russian interiors can maintain the chosen style direction by adding several accessories that correspond to this style:

a variety of toys made in the Russian style, for example, nesting dolls or Dymkovo toys;
samovar;
trays, dishes with Khokhloma painting;
traditional embroidery on towels;
chest;
patchwork bedspreads;
homespun paths;
baskets woven from willow twigs.

You should not overload the interior with a large number of traditional accessories, just a few elements are enough, otherwise you risk turning the living room into something like a souvenir shop.

When choosing the Russian style of room decoration, you will not have to additionally finish the walls. The wooden beam will remain almost in its original form - you just need to apply a varnish coating

However, the original Russian style is unthinkable without such an element as the Russian stove. Moreover, it can have not only a decorative function, but also a practical one - the stove will do an excellent job of heating the house, and connoisseurs of Russian cuisine will also be able to use it for cooking.

A real stove is the central element of an interior in the style of a Russian hut

When installing a stove, you should first of all take into account the size of the living room, because... If the room is large, a small stove will not give the desired effect. At the same time, a small living room (less than 30 sq.m.) should not be overloaded with a bulky stove; it is better to give preference to a fireplace.

A beautifully designed Russian stove can become a worthy interior detail. For finishing, specially designed ceramic tiles are used - tiles, as well as stone, baked clay, etc. Any natural material will stylistically fit perfectly into the interior of such a living room.

Please note that installing a stove in a house requires meeting certain conditions. It cannot be “introduced” into a finished room. Installation work should be carried out at the design stage of the house, due to the fact that the dimensions of the Russian stove are quite large, as is its load on the foundation.

Many are adherents of the classical style, because... it combines conciseness and elegance, rigor and respectability. As a rule, when decorating a living room in a log house in a classic style, the living room should be divided into two zones: a fireplace and a relaxation area.

Sophisticated classic style with a warm and natural color palette

When designing a living room, you can provide an element such as an internal balcony with wooden balusters in the second floor area.

In a log house, when planning the color scheme of the rooms, it is advisable to opt for traditional types of wood: dark oak, walnut, Douglas fir. Wood species such as wenge or mahogany, due to their exotic nature for our area, look more appropriate in city apartments.

Interior in Provence style

Provence style is distinguished by sophistication and simplicity. It is often called “French country”. This style is characterized by lightness, airiness, and a predominance of light shades of natural colors. The decoration of walls, floors and ceilings is usually neutral and serves as a backdrop for brighter furniture.

Homely, cozy and romantic Provence - the embodiment of the dream of a quiet and measured life outside the city

A Provence-style living room in a wooden house is distinguished by the presence of pastel shades, as if faded from the bright southern sun:

lavender;
mint;
warm tones of beige;
blue.

Furniture is used correctly, not varnished, but painted with paint, with a patination effect, which gives the furniture a touch of antiquity. Shiny chrome metal parts will be superfluous in such an interior. Everything should be subdued and filled with calm. Bouquets of dried flowers and beautiful branches can serve as decorative elements. But it is very important to observe the measure, avoiding overload with such elements.

The interior design of a rustic living room is based on natural materials.

The best decor for windows would be curtains made of linen or cotton, plain or with a small pattern in the form of flowers or polka dots; a discreet checkered pattern is also appropriate in this case. For window frames, it is preferable to use wood painted white.

For the floor, you can use either wood or tiles, preferably yellow or terracotta. The ceiling is predominantly white; decorations in the form of beams painted in contrasting colors are often used.

Scandinavian style

The Scandinavian style is distinguished by the predominance of white, light wood, the absence of pretentiousness, heavy curtains, laconicism and simplicity of lines. As they say, nothing superfluous and at the same time a lot of light and air.

In a Scandinavian interior, timber walls are usually painted pearl white.

For finishing, light tones of such natural colors as:

brown;
grey;
green;
blue;
beige.

They can be used on all surfaces, including walls, floors and ceilings.

Living room in the style of "hunting lodge"

Decorating a living room in this style is characterized by the use of a large number of wooden elements, both on the floor, ceiling and walls. The texture of wood is often emphasized by brushing; logs or beams are tinted with various pigments.

A mandatory element of such a living room is a fireplace. It is located in the central part of the room and the entire interior develops around the hearth.

The hearth is mainly lined with natural stone, which harmoniously combines with natural wood

Natural wood is also used for furniture; leather upholstery is usually used. There are carpets or natural animal skins on the floor.

The carpet will add coziness and will be an excellent addition to the interior of the living room.

Lamps and chandeliers are styled like candles. Candles are also used in large quantities to decorate the room.

Mistakes when painting yourself

Beginners often neglect the preparatory stage of work when painting a house. And it is important, if the surface is not smooth and has many defects, then the paint will highlight them, and adhesion will be low. Choosing the wrong product will also be a mistake; you should not save, because a low-quality product will lead to the need to repaint too quickly.

Violation of the operating rules and manufacturer's recommendations, which are written on the label. If necessary, dilution of the composition must be carried out strictly according to the instructions.

Combining the living room with other rooms

Owners of country houses, wanting to escape from cramped apartments, try to plan rooms as spacious as possible, trying to reduce the number of partitions. The ability to combine functional areas is an excellent way to solve the problem. For example, by combining the living room and kitchen, you can achieve maximum convenience for a large family.

The option of combining space should suit all family members

The interior of the combined living room has a unique design, in which the functional areas differ in design, but at the same time the design style should be uniform.

Living room combined with kitchen

There are several types of layouts for a combined living room and kitchen:

A kitchen set is located along one of the walls, and a sofa and table are placed opposite it.
A bar counter is used to divide the room into two zones.
All furniture is located in islands inside the room.
The table and sofa are located along the walls of the room, and the set is in the center of the room.

The possibility of combining the living room and kitchen should be discussed at the stage of designing the house, because... such a project must provide additional supports for the ceiling, and a ventilation system must also be provided.

Combining a bedroom and living room is usually done due to lack of space in the house. There are many zoning options in this case. You can divide the space using a podium system or with the help of proper furniture arrangement. In a wooden house, a partition made of timber will look very good.

How to choose fabrics?

The appropriate composition, degree of gloss and pattern will be determined by the chosen style. But when choosing the tone in which the upholstery of sofas and headboards, curtains, blankets and towels for the kitchen will be decided, it is worth taking into account the temperature of the prevailing shade of wood in the house.

Wood with a yellow or orange undertone is best shaded with fabrics in cold colors: blue, blue, purple, mint, shades of gray, especially graphite.

Timber tinted in cool blue, gray and white shades will balance fabrics in sand, ocher, and honey tones.

If the color of the timber is difficult to classify as clearly defined warm or cold shades, you can complement the wood with fabrics in the same range, but a tone or two darker, lighter or brighter.

Creating the necessary lighting for the interior of the room

As the main lighting in the living room, it is best to use a forged chandelier, in which the light bulbs will imitate candles. It is also appropriate to use lamps made of wood, for example, in the form of an antique wheel, for living rooms made in a rustic style. Any modern lamps will look too alien.

Preference should be given to lighting fixtures with low-power lamps that softly illuminate the room

Country style - comfort and tradition

Hand embroidery, restored furniture, draperies - these are the pillars of rustic style. Clay pots and country-style furniture will envelop you in warmth, and various interesting elements, such as a cuckoo clock, will not let you get bored. Forged wood and brass decorative items will be added. The designs are light, floral, and the colors are natural and soft. This style is very popular, because the romance of decorative trinkets and the comfort of soft pillows relax you and allow you to truly take a break from the everyday hustle and bustle.

Choosing furniture for a living room in a wooden house

Whatever style is chosen for a living room in a wooden house, furniture made from natural wood will fit most organically into the interior. For a living room in a classic style, a massive set is selected, the wood is varnished to preserve its natural color. For the Provence style, the facades are painted; decoupage can be used for decoration.

The furniture in the living room should reflect the style of the home

Most often, the leading area in the living room is occupied by a soft corner. Depending on the chosen style, genuine leather or fabrics with a minimal synthetic content are used for upholstery.

A large sofa with textile upholstery will fit perfectly into the living room of a wooden house.

The arrangement of furniture must be carried out based on the geometry of the room. In the case where the room is too elongated in length, massive cabinets at the end walls will visually bring the room closer to a square shape.

Professional coloring services

Most property owners tend to save money by not inviting professionals to paint. However, the high-quality result created by specialists will save not only time, but also money. They will tell you which product is best suited for the job and will last longer. You can be sure that the result will be beautiful and durable. The cost of services is often calculated based on the area of the room, calculated by square meters.

However, the high-quality result created by specialists will save not only time, but also money.

Before painting the logs inside the house, the surface should be thoroughly prepared. And also pay special attention to the choice of product. It should not only be beautiful in appearance, but also protect the surface from external factors.

Interesting ideas in the interior of the living room

In country houses, living rooms are often equipped with “second light” in the form of large windows for better illumination.

Fireplace for the living room

If the plan is to install a decorative fireplace in the living room, it is advisable to line the installation site with natural materials, for example stone or red brick.

The fireplace finishing option is selected based on the style decision

Coffee table

All items in the interior of a living room in a wooden house should be combined with each other and not deviate from the overall style. Therefore, when choosing a coffee table, in this case you will have to pass by glass tables with chrome legs, which are more appropriate for a living room, for example, in a loft style.

An antique chest will do a great job as a coffee table.

Almost any classic option made of natural wood will fit into the living room interior. A coffee table in the shape of a chest will look quite interesting.

Useful recommendations for purchasing paint and painting

If you are going to paint the surface yourself, you should study the advice of professionals. Before purchasing, look at the expiration date of the paint; high-quality compositions must have a quality certificate; if it does not exist, then it is better to abandon this product.

It is advisable to paint at temperatures of +22-25 degrees. The preparatory stage should be carried out carefully; the final result depends on the quality of preparation.

Don’t forget to paint the end sections of timber and logs facing the room. It is advisable to test the color of the product before painting by applying it in an inconspicuous place; after drying, the color may change slightly.

Decorating a living room in a wooden house

A wooden house has a lot of advantages over others, such as a special microclimate, aesthetics, and beauty. Nevertheless, there are a number of restrictions in the decoration of premises, the main one of which is the possibility of using mainly natural materials in the design of a living room in a wooden house made of timber, in order to achieve naturalness.

The best decor will be things and objects made from natural wood

The main types of flooring used in decorating a living room in a wooden house are:

parquet;
board;
laminate;
tile.

The use of suspended ceilings against the background of log walls would be extremely inappropriate. It is possible to use panels with a wood pattern or wooden lining. In some cases, you can combine materials such as rough plaster and contrasting wooden beams.

The optimal solution for finishing the ceiling is to leave natural wood

Glazing of a wooden house made of timber is best done using wooden frames. If you still use metal-plastic windows, you need to choose a material that imitates a wooden surface. This will give the interior harmony. Ordinary white windows will stand out too much from the overall style.

An interesting solution would be panoramic windows if the house is located in a picturesque location

When choosing textiles, you can use fabrics containing a certain amount of synthetic fibers, but the texture of the fabric should be as close to natural as possible. Unbleached linen and coarse fabrics will be an excellent decoration for the windows of a rustic-style living room.

Curtains should cope with their intended purpose and serve as a beautiful addition to the interior of the room.

The atmosphere of a wooden house is filled with a unique comfort that is simply impossible to achieve in a city concrete apartment. You can be convinced of this by looking at a selection of beautiful examples of the interior of a living room in a log house.

Scandinavian style

The basis is light and wood. The room should breathe spaciousness. For this, light paint is used, mostly white, of course. Airiness is achieved with the help of textiles - again, unobtrusive designs, light colors, light textures. Ceiling beams are perfect for this style; they will give a play of light and shadow. Color accents are welcome: yellow-blue combinations are popular - the richness of the colors emphasizes the lightness of the space.
