Interior decoration of wooden houses
There are the following options for finishing wooden houses:
- Drywall. This modern material allows you to experiment with types of cladding and arrangement of premises.
- Lining. Strong and durable material, and most importantly, it has an aesthetic appearance. Now there are different wood tones and a large selection of wood profiles on the market.

Country style for a wooden house
The rustic method is perfect for decorating wooden interiors. Rich and bright textiles harmonize perfectly with wood. This design option will be very reminiscent of grandma’s house.
Antique furniture is also made of wood. The most important thing in a country setting is the furniture. It should have a little decor and straight lines. In this style, simple benches and chairs, wall cabinets and shelves, and ordinary beds would be very appropriate. Wicker and forged furniture will also be a good solution. And also rocking chairs, chests that will be used as bedside tables.
It is better to choose curtains from chintz, linen and cotton. Fabric is preferable with polka dots, flowers or checkered patterns. Embroidered bedspreads, napkins, and lamps with lampshades are suitable as decor.
Chalet or hunting lodge
A wooden house is very similar to a hunter's dwelling. Their interior should contain stuffed animals, large leather sofas, and various trophies.
Inside the chalet, a fireplace is a must. Naturally, it will be good if it turns out to be real. Animal horns, landscapes, large tapestries, hunting equipment, and weapons are placed on the walls.
The floor in the chalet needs to be aged artificially and it is advisable not to cover it with varnish or paint. The board should be matte or semi-matte. Artificial stone floors are used in the bathroom and kitchen. To give the effect of antiquity, choose tiles with cracks and chips.
The ceiling is also made of wood. It is decorated with massive beams.

You have to try more than once or twice: each wood requires its own tone and even the method of applying it. If you want to create something similar, first practice on some scraps of materials used in the decoration and select colors. Having achieved the desired effect, repeat on another piece, strengthening the technique. Then you can try it in the interior.

Japanese interior
The Japanese style, which strives for naturalness and tranquility, will find its place in a wooden structure. There are no metal, plastic or glass elements at all. Bamboo tables are installed instead of ordinary tables. There are soft podiums, tatami, and pillows on the floor.
Minimalism is observed everywhere, even in the bedroom, where there should be a tatami bed and bedside tables. The interior in this style is made of natural wood, which should be light shades, like bamboo. Some trees can imitate it - larch, spruce, pine. The entire room is finished in wood.
Wood trims the ceilings and walls. Floor coverings are also made only from this natural material.
Bedroom interior in a log house
The bedroom should be intimate and cozy. Everything in it should be conducive to relaxation. And most often, bedrooms are made in calm, light colors, adding only a few color accents.
The design of a bedroom in log houses is no different: light, calm colors and several color accents
Whitewashed logs and dark finishes, furniture in the same colors. The nonlinear ceiling made of lining creates an interesting visual effect, and the highlight is the rounded shape of the log
The design techniques are the same: contrasts and playing with the texture of wood. There are a lot of contrasts in the interior in the photo above: in addition to the two colors, the uneven relief of the walls and the geometrically clear shapes of the furniture are also contrasted. And the nonlinear structure above the window is contrasted with the smooth surface of the floor.
Inside the wooden house the atmosphere is completely different. An interior that plays well with wooden walls, complemented by textiles in the bedroom, is the basis of this variation. And linear and rounded shapes are also played out
Another bedroom design option that plays with contrasts: rounded and sharp lines, a matte light surface of the walls and shiny dark brown silk bedspreads. Textiles can highlight a lot. A light green accent softens everything - pillows and candles, plants in pots.
