Room design under stone and wood: advantages and disadvantages

Let's consider the advantages of each material. The stone creates sound and heat insulation in a room, looks great due to its variety of shapes and retains its impeccable external qualities for a long time. Wood also holds heat well, does not emit harmful substances and has a pleasant smell.

And now about the advantages of wood and stone interiors:

• Versatility. Natural materials will fit into any style: in some places they will become a basic element, and in others they will become an accent;
• Environmentally friendly. Wood and stone parts are completely non-toxic;
• Uniqueness. Each element has its own structure, pattern, texture, so even standard designs turn out different.

There is only one drawback - the relatively high cost of natural materials. However, you can always use small things at hand and imitation of natural gifts in decoration.

Wood and stone design for different rooms

The materials are so versatile that they can decorate any room. If you decide to use this combination, study the designers’ recommendations for the proper design of rooms.

Hallway

Parquet and wooden furniture are universal solutions for the hallway. The walls can be decorated with stonework or used brick for decoration. Paintings or bookshelves can serve as an accent.

Advice! Do not overuse dark shades - they will visually make the room smaller and make it gloomy.

Living room

You can use stone in different ways in the wooden interior of the living room. For example, decorate the ceiling with massive beams and the walls with stone slabs. The more prominent the elements are, the more interesting the design will be.

If the room is decorated in a modern style, for example, loft or fusion, you can include individual details made from natural materials in the decor. Minimalistic wooden compositions, stone animal heads, and masonry on the walls look good. Do you like functional decor?

Bathroom

It is better to be more careful with wood in the bathroom - despite good processing, the material is not resistant to high humidity. But the walls covered with slabs look luxurious and solid. Another decorative option is stone chips. Combined with an acrylic bathtub, this design looks amazing!

Bedroom

You can decorate three walls in the room with wood, and decorate the fourth, opposite the bed, with stone. If you have a room in a classic style, an option with stone arched openings and columns is suitable.

Idea! If there is a niche in the wall, you can make a frame for it from wooden frames, and decorate the interior space with small artificial stones of different sizes. Small lamps or LED strips mounted around the perimeter of the recess are suitable as a functional addition.

Children's

In a child’s room, you can highlight the floor in the play area with colored stone tiles, and decorate the walls with wide panels. The result is a beautiful and practical interior that will appeal to children of any age. Wooden furniture will be a good addition to this design solution.

Stone variations

When decorating the interior, the following are used: facing and coral stones, limestone, pebbles, false panels, bricks. More exclusive ones are also used: malachite, lapis lazuli, jasper, marble, granite, tuff, porphyry, slate, travertine stone. The most economical way is to use decorative slabs, stylized as natural ones, which are made from cheap concrete and simple fillers with the addition of coloring pigments.

Stone is extremely appropriate in the hallway, hall and directly at the front door - this sets the tone for the entire interior space, and the appearance is more presentable. It is used to decorate halls and offices, bedrooms and kitchens, swimming pools and bathrooms; it is appropriate everywhere: on walls, floors, ceilings, the composition can be large or small, in the form of individual elements. When decorating a fireplace, you can use contrasting color materials to highlight or highlight part of the adjacent wall.

The main thing is not to overdo it so that the home does not look like a cave.

Marble and granite are often used in the decoration of hallways, large halls, bathrooms; they are used to decorate walls, columns, floors, sinks, countertops, and borders. The unusually beautiful pattern on the cut of the stone makes them unique, and the smooth surface will add a touch of sophistication to the interior.

Pebbles are used to decorate kitchen aprons, fireplaces, and floors—only in zones. These minerals, ideally ground by the sea or river, are especially good; they feel right in the bathroom, where the water element reigns, and are irreplaceable where there is a need to highlight part of the space or emphasize the chosen style. The most interesting look is the pebble mosaic in two shades.

Interior styles that “love” wood and stone

The classic style is ideal for wood and stone designs. Parquet floors, wide beams, wooden furniture and a luxurious fireplace with a stone frame are frequent guests in a luxurious interior. Materials of different textures and deep natural colors are welcome.

High tech

High-tech is a minimalist direction, so unnecessary details are inappropriate here. The first place in the design is occupied by the combination of stone and glass. The tree in the design will serve as an auxiliary element.

Modern

Massive wooden stairs, fancy stone figures, panels, and cornices look natural in this style. And columns decorated with tiles or slats will become a great accent for bedrooms and living rooms.

Eco

In the eco-direction, design with wood and stone is a prerequisite. Materials may be present on walls, ceilings and flooring. Wooden furniture with stone legs will fit well into this design.

Rustic

One of the most interesting styles involves the predominance of wooden decor. The stone can be used as an interesting detail. For example, decorate them with a fireplace or lay out a real Russian stove. The photo shows an example of a successful ensemble of materials.

Masonry

Brickwork (or its imitation) has become especially popular today. It makes any space not boring, is indispensable when decorating staircase areas, corridors and lobbies, it looks impressive if it is made in fragments, not covering the entire wall, in combination with decorative plaster.

Brickwork with a slight antique effect is a good way to reward your home with medieval simplicity.

If you like the industrial style, any rough masonry will suit the design; the main idea here is unadorned, in its original form. Metal, especially cold shades, wrought iron furniture, and antique-style chandeliers go well with brick.

Natural stone laying is in the spirit of feudal times. The block version looks the most advantageous; this creates an interesting pattern that does not become boring; you want to look at it again and again. In this case, the walls and the whole room look more solid, creating a feeling of strength and reliability.

You can always “play” with color, focus on contrast or choose tone-on-tone materials, experiment with texture, visually highlight separate areas or hide unfavorable ones. Disadvantages of blocks are high price, special requirements for the surface.

Advice: if the room is small, it is better to decorate only part of the wall, otherwise it will look bulky and the interior as a whole will be overloaded.

Artificial tiles are thinner and lighter than blocks, which provides many options for using the stone; they are easy to install. Limestone looks good with its pleasant rough texture - simple and tasteful. It has become fashionable to decorate showers from minerals of various shapes, resulting in an interesting composition “a la grotto”.

Finish options for wood decoration

If you want dramatic changes in design, use wood rather than wallpaper to decorate your walls. It is not necessary to buy expensive materials - future design elements may well be at hand.

Wooden walls

You can finish the surfaces with clapboard, laminate, parquet boards, particle boards, saw cuts, and veneer panels. The wall does not have to be smooth - a slight relief will add creativity to the interior. A bold option is decor from the ends of the saw cuts. Strongly protruding elements are convenient to use as shelves for small items.

Wood slats

If you decorate one wall and ceiling with thin slats, you will get a memorable stylish design. Decorative strips should be used in doses - an excess of elements will block the overall stylistic ensemble.

Idea! From slats you can create sliding partitions for zoning. They will turn out to be light, weightless and very elegant.

Partitions

Partitions are a great tool for zoning rooms. Many are accustomed to structures made of plasterboard, but wood products look no less organic. You can buy or build yourself vertical or horizontal partitions from lining, processed trunks, slats and branches.

Barn boards in the interior

Barn boards are elements of wooden buildings: houses, sheds, outbuildings. Such details are of particular value because it is easy to create unique design compositions from them.

To use boards, you must first treat them with special compounds against insects and fungus. There is no need to remove nail marks and scuff marks - they will add a special charm to the decor.

Using the material you can lay out the flooring or decorate the walls. For these purposes, it is better to take pine, eucalyptus and oak boards. They have stunning patterns, good durability and interesting textures.

Can be used in decoration to imitate old boards. The products look no different from barn elements and have similar qualities. They are ideal for making wooden partitions.

Idea! Barn boards make excellent designer furniture. You can buy ready-made models or create simple tables, chairs, and bedside tables yourself.

Compositions from saw cuts for room decor

You can use wood as an original accent for any room by placing objects made from wood cuts in the rooms. For example:

• Stylish watch;
• Placemats;
• Vases;
• Shelves;
• Panel;
• Frames for pictures and mirrors.

Making such decorations is not difficult - it’s just a matter of imagination and the availability of materials. We offer videos as a source of inspiration and ideas.

If you decide to create your own decor, do not forget about proper surface treatment. Be sure to coat each element with a protective agent or varnish. It is undesirable to use paints - they can disrupt the texture of the material.

You can stick thin saw cuts on the walls, having previously prepared the surface. A nuance - it is better to take elements of different sizes, but approximately the same thickness. If any detail stands out too much, the stylistic picture will be disrupted.

Stone decor

Decorative stone has long been used as cladding. But natural is not often found in the interior. It is too heavy for decoration, but it can be used as decoration. It is used in the following areas:

• Rugs for the hallway and coasters are made from pebbles;
• large stones can be used to create a composition of plants;
• Interior items are made from ornamental stone.

The use of stone in the interior is varied. But mainly it is used for finishing various rooms. For example, a pebbled wall in the bathroom or an apron in the kitchen not only looks unusual, but is also easy to clean.

Stone in the interior: types and features

For decoration, you can use both natural and artificial materials, which are absolutely not inferior in external qualities. Let's tell you more about the most popular stone options for design.

Artificial

Due to its low weight, such a stone is easier to fix on the surface than a real one. It also has a rich color palette, so you can easily choose the right shade for your design. Artificial stone and wood in the interior look very natural and luxurious, fit into different styles and complement interior compositions.

Plaster

This stone is made from a durable, safe mineral. It looks great as a decoration for any room. The gypsum material is easy to work with: no additional sanding or tedious cleaning is required. After manipulating such a stone, there will be almost no dust left in the room.

Acrylic

This is a material made from acrylic resin, mineral particles and special dyes. Thanks to its non-porous structure, it has high strength and durability. Suitable for making stairs, furniture and finishing elements for bathrooms.

Quartz

Quartz stone is suitable for finishing and production of interior items. It is often used to make steps for stairs, window sills, countertops, bar counters, and floor coverings. The material needs careful processing, but it looks excellent as decor.

Natural

This is an expensive, refined material, an invariable attribute of luxurious interiors. For finishing walls and floors, the following are most often used: onyx, marble, decorative slate, agate. You can make a kitchen apron, bar counter or island, or cut for a fireplace portal from natural stone.

Natural materials in decoration

Modern people have not stopped surrounding themselves with elements of living nature, although new materials are being invented and synthetic and durable surfaces are being created. But wood, stone and grass are still relevant in the 21st century. Natural decor in the interior can have the following effects:

• living plants fill the room with oxygen;
• wood is a durable and noble material that can add respectability to any room;
• The stone has always been valued for its decorative qualities and durability.

Properly selected decor in a room made from natural materials fills it with peace and good energy. This type of decor will find a place in any interior, even if it consists only of glass and plastic.

Stone decor options

Stone in the interior of a wooden house is widely used for wall decoration. It can be either an auxiliary or an independent decorative element. Let's consider the methods that characterize the second option.

Stone slabs

Stone slabs deserve a place in your design project. They are suitable for decorating walls and floors in any room of the house. This is a practical material that looks expensive, does not require careful maintenance, and is resistant to changes in humidity and temperature. In the photo you can see how the slabs transform the interior.

Masonry

The purpose of the decor is to fix the stones on the wall using adhesive. When laying out elements, it is important to maintain a certain order so that there are no large gaps between the parts. If the room has high humidity, it is better to use natural stone, because gypsum and concrete modifications quickly lose their external properties in such conditions.

A complex approach

The ideal option is when wood complements the mineral, but it may be different when stone details only emphasize certain areas. Stone in combination with wood is an excellent opportunity for zoning space. These materials can have many shades of color: from milky white to dark, chocolate or almost black, which means there are many prospects for creating a unique design.

Urban lofts, suggesting a harsh Spartan look combined with bohemian chic, have formed their own style, in which there is a place for wooden beams and stone masonry, even the ubiquitous metal will be in high esteem here.

Contrasts are in fashion. A good combination is a varnished floor and a rough stone surface on the walls, a wooden countertop and a stone sink, mineral masonry in beige tones and dark furniture, black marble and light wood, bamboo and pebbles, white granite and wenge, shiny metal and natural wood.

An excellent combination would be “mineral masonry in beige tones and dark furniture” or “bamboo and pebbles, white granite and wenge.”

Do-it-yourself interior decoration with wood and stone

If you have a ready-made design project, you can turn it into reality yourself. The key to success: high-quality materials and proper surface preparation. You can repeat interesting ideas and save on the services of a professional.

Design options

The simplest and most modern interiors are made of stone and wood - with walls covered with one of these materials. We invite you to look at the photo. In this version, stone was used as a key element. It’s not difficult to do something similar in your home even without special skills.

Materials for creating decor

To prepare the wall you will need a plaster solution. If the surface is perfectly flat, you can immediately begin finishing.

What you will need:

• Primer;
• Adhesive composition;
• Putty knife;
• Gypsum stone.

Before starting work, you need to treat the wall with a primer or install a special mesh. This will significantly increase the strength of the plaster layer, which means the stone will adhere well to the surface.

Masonry technology

It's simple - you need to apply a thin layer of adhesive to the surface of the wall or stone, then press the element tightly to the selected plane. It is better to start from the corners and work from the bottom up.

The optimal distance between stones is no more than 8 mm. The larger the elements, the wider the seam should be. To treat gaps you need to use gypsum putty. It is convenient to apply it with a spatula or a large syringe.

The modern interior “wood and stone” will become your source of comfort and inspiration. Transform your home with natural materials and watch the magical play of design elements.

Grass in the interior

Natural and artificial grass is actively used as decoration. It can be in the form of a long-pile carpet or grown in a row in pots to create a green wall. With the help of herbaceous plants, phytowalls are created, which are the main element in any room.
