Time flies faster and faster, along with its speed the rhythm of everyday life accelerates, people drown in their worries, and as a result do not have time to look around and enjoy life. It would seem that what prevents you from resting and relaxing at home? The answer is obvious - inappropriate atmosphere. A country house will become a refuge from city stress, especially if you build it from the “right” material - fireproof, environmentally friendly, durable and beautiful. Glued laminated timber has all these characteristics.
Working with Surfaces
The timber is valuable because it itself looks very aesthetically pleasing. Its unique texture and pleasant color are attractive. All this can be profitably used in your home interior without spending time and effort on additional finishing. Moreover, laminated veneer lumber is smooth, without flaws or cracks.

At the same time, a little processing won't hurt here. This refers to coating surfaces with varnish. The transparent composition will not spoil the appearance of the wood, but will extend the service life of the noble material. In addition, this is a way to tint surfaces, which may indicate the chosen interior style.
If, nevertheless, it is decided not to leave the timber in its original form, nothing will prevent this. Paint, plaster or drywall will adhere perfectly to a wooden base. In this case, it is recommended to choose paper wallpaper for wall decoration. Vinyl options, as well as plastic panels, would be completely inappropriate here.
Painted wooden surfaces
The ceiling can also be covered with something, but often it is still left natural. Protruding elements at the top of the room look beautiful. And the original lighting will give the whole atmosphere a special charm.
Ceiling lighting
It is best to choose a wooden floor covering. The ideal option is tongue-and-groove boards or parquet. In extreme cases, you can get by with a less expensive laminate. It is worth mentioning separately about such modern material as wood tiles. Unlike ceramics, it is “warm” and looks great on the floor. But you should not use such a coating in the bathroom.

The influence of a design project on the quality and aesthetics of a house made of laminated veneer lumber
The construction of a house begins with design, then a house kit is produced at the factory, which is delivered and assembled at the construction site, while simultaneously laying communications. In an already finished house, they are finishing and furnishing.
A house kit is a “constructor”. For its production, we use modern and high-precision equipment, so each part is the right size with all the necessary technological holes and openings. At the construction site, all that remains is to assemble the numbered parts according to the diagram.
A key component of the quality of a house kit is a detailed design of the future home. It is important to take into account not only the dimensions of walls, window and door openings, but also all the engineering “stuffing”. In order for the visible surface of laminated veneer lumber to be aesthetically attractive, it is necessary to install heating, water supply and sewerage, electricity, and air conditioning systems inside the walls. And to do this, you need to think in advance and form a complex network of holes and channels to make them at the factory. In addition, according to preliminary calculations, vertical reinforcements of walls, beam ties, embedded pillar bases and other elements are made that are hidden from view, but directly affect the service life, ease of use and beauty of the future home.
To correctly arrange communications, you need to know in advance:
- Furniture arrangement plan with references and overall dimensions.
- Plan of sockets and switches with references.
- The number of lighting groups in each room and their sizes.
- Power of kitchen equipment and its connection.
- Weight and location of lighting fixtures.
- The location and weight of the fireplace, its overall dimensions.
- Type of heating devices and their connections.
- The number and type of plumbing fixtures, their sizes and connections.
- Wall material in bathrooms and wet rooms.
- Location and type of ventilation grilles.
- Coating materials, thickness, laying technology.
These are just some of the questions, the answers to which will be needed already at the design stage, and these answers are contained in the design project! Without this information, it is impossible to calculate with high accuracy all engineering systems and structures, their cost, complexity and duration of implementation.
In our company, architects, engineers, designers work on a project together in order to immediately take into account each other’s needs and tasks, and coordinate all technological requirements with each other. This is the only way we can be sure of what kind of house we will get as a result.
Furniture selection
In such houses you can install both massive furniture and lighter furniture - wicker. The style of the interior dictates which items to use. But it's best if they are made of wood. It is also appropriate to use other natural materials - upholstery, for example, can be leather or fabric.

Choosing a design for a house made of laminated veneer lumber
How to support and preserve this wonderful property - environmental friendliness - and not nullify it by using materials harmful to health in interior decoration? This is not as easy to do as it might seem, since there are not many truly safe options on the modern market of construction and finishing materials.
Choosing wallpaper in the interior of a wooden house
First of all, it is necessary to eliminate any synthetic components in finishing materials. Vinyl wallpaper or linoleum are absolutely not suitable for finishing the floor. Wallpaper should be exclusively paper or plant-based. But few people can afford wallpaper made from bamboo or reed, while paper wallpaper is very cheap.
Paint and varnish coatings in the interior of a country house
As for the choice of materials such as paint, primer, varnishes, decorative coatings, they must be water-based and must necessarily have a safety certificate.
Tile covering
The modern market offers a number of interesting solutions for environmental decoration of premises that deserve attention. For example, instead of tiles, wood tiles can be used for the interior of a wooden house.
Wooden tiles are in no way inferior in quality to analogues made from other materials. At the same time, wood is safe and very pleasant to the touch, because the tiles retain heat perfectly.
The only drawback of this material is the limitation in its use for rooms with high humidity, for example, bathrooms. Otherwise, the choice of such material is unlimited.
Living room
In the interior shown below, the entrance to the living room is made in the form of an arch. The room looks very bright. Snow-white furniture located in the corner of the room plays an important role in this. Its rounded outline enhances the airiness effect. The light background of the upholstery is diluted with colorful inserts and the same pillows. The furniture colors echo the shades used in the carpet design. There is a convenient small table on it. One of the walls of the living room is decorated with a panel. There is also a table underneath, the image of which is very elegant. All the objects in the room form a very organic alliance, which looks perfect against the backdrop of light wood surfaces.
Such an environment would not be perceived so easily and naturally if there was less light in the room. It pours out of a huge window, complemented by the whitest curtains. Artificial lighting is provided by an exquisite chandelier with lamps in the form of candles, sconces in the same style and a floor lamp that allows you to organize a reading area.

Types of interior decoration
Glued laminated timber does not require additional cladding. It looks great even without varnishing. If the walls are made of profiled wood, you will need to consider the finishing. Protective impregnation for wood is required in any case, and it will create a barrier against mold, fungal colonies, moisture and even fires. It can lighten or leave the color of the surface in its original form. Low-quality profiled timber can be easily hidden under panels that imitate real wood from lining, siding or block house - this will not only create an eco-style inside, but will also become warmer. It is also possible to create a modern interior design in a wooden cottage. The timber can be easily sheathed with OSB panels or plasterboard, painted, wallpapered, or covered with artificial stone. And inside you can hide electrical wiring.
Floor installation
Before you start finishing work, be sure to think over the design of the timber - the interior decoration of the house will directly depend on the project, and based on it, you need to calculate the cost estimate. First-class construction companies have 3D design specialists, estimators, and experienced installers. They will fulfill all your wishes efficiently and quickly, making your dreams come true.
Installation begins with the subfloor. Regardless of the materials chosen for finishing, it is first necessary to treat the surface of the lag with a special protective impregnation against the influence of moisture. Insulation (foam or mineral wool) is placed between them. Next, attach a backing made of OSB or chipboard boards. A finishing coating is laid on it, and it can be linoleum, natural board, laminate, artificial stone or parquet. An additional advantage is that the double floor helps keep the house warm.
Popular types of floor coverings
The interior decoration of a laminated timber house is important. In wooden houses, the floor is often installed with tongue-and-groove planed boards made of spruce or pine. It does not require maintenance and retains its original appearance for a couple of decades. And when it gets dark, you just need to sand the top layer and cover it again with a protective compound. The only contraindication would be the installation of a heated floor, since this is impractical and a fire hazard, because most of the energy will be spent on heating the wood. Parquet and laminate conduct heat well, and such coverings look similar to plank flooring, but with a more original pattern. Their parquet strips can be used to create an original pattern, and the laminate is very durable and is not pressed down by furniture legs or heels. They imitate different types of wood, stone and metal.
Artificial stone on the floor helps to refine the interior, and it is best to install this material in the bathroom, kitchen or hall. To keep your feet from freezing, you need a warming system. The main advantage of a stone floor can be considered its unique pattern and durability. This floor design requires stone on the ceiling/walls and plaster. Linoleum is the most inexpensive imitation of wood, and its service life is no more than 10 years, and therefore it is often laid as a temporary coating.
Wall decoration
Wood walls first need to be impregnated with an antiseptic, and then treated with paint, varnish, oil or mastic. Choose the composition based on the intended effect. If the surface requires a tinted matte finish, then mastic or acrylic paint material is suitable. For a beautiful gloss, the timber must be coated with varnish or oil. The wood texture does not change from such solutions, but moisture is not a problem in the near future. Wax-based mastic has a porous structure, and it is able to allow air to pass through, and the oil will give a beautiful golden shine. When the impregnating composition dries, the house finishing from the timber inside begins.
The lining requires a lathing made of wood, and steam and thermal insulation is laid in the space between the slats. The boards themselves are nailed to the slats along the edges, and fastened together using grooves. The lining can be positioned vertically, diagonally or horizontally. If you combine these methods, you will get a unique drawing. Lining is made from various wood species (pine, spruce, linden, aspen and alder). This will affect shade, heat resistance and strength.
It is also important to consider the class of material:
- Extra class (best material, free from defects).
- A-class - high quality (there are knots, but it looks beautiful).
- B-class - average quality (sometimes there are knots)
- C-class - low quality (with dark spots, gaps and knots).
The lining has a type of block house. This is a planed board, and the outer side imitates a log or timber. The side fastening in the form of a groove securely connects the parts together. Lay them horizontally, straight from bottom to top. It is made from softwood, and is ideal for wall decoration made from profiled low-grade timber. No additional protection required yet.
Another material that builders love to use when finishing a wooden house made of timber is sheets of plasterboard. It is universal, inexpensive and easy to install. You need to attach it to wooden or aluminum profiles, which can be easily done. Screw it to the beam. In the free space you can lay insulation and hide electrical wiring. The sheets themselves are installed on self-tapping screws. Afterwards, everything is plastered and a finishing coating is applied, for example, wallpaper, ceramics, self-adhesive paper or paint. You can use plasterboard to make arches, niches, and shelves in the wall, if necessary. The design is 10 cm thick, and therefore it is better not to use such material in a small room. But as a partition it is an ideal option.
Plastic lining and siding are also actively used for finishing a house made of laminated veneer lumber. They are much cheaper than natural wood, and their texture is very similar to it. Siding panels are attached horizontally, and you can choose the texture and color to suit your taste - brick, wood, stone or metal. PVC panel with a standard width of up to 0.1 meters, and the inside consists of honeycombs.
Air voids improve thermal insulation in the house, and the vinyl surface does not require varnishing, is not afraid of the sun and moisture, and the colors are amazing - from simple white to bright bouquets of flowers. Plastic lining is mounted on a metal frame, and this material is perfect for the corridor, living room and bathroom. You can sheathe the entire room or just the basement part.
Artificial stone is made from essential resins and chips from natural materials. It looks like the real thing, but will cost less and be lighter in weight. In color and texture it is identical to marble, brick, crushed stone, shell rock, granite and others. It can be attached to the sheathing using a special adhesive. It also goes well with chalet-style plaster, and installation should be entrusted to professionals - this way the tiles will be glued without gaps and will last a long time. Decorative stone is suitable for making accents in the living room, bedroom, kitchen and hallway. These are the main materials for home decoration made of timber inside. They will help you create an interior in an old Russian, modern or classic style. For the ceiling, a stretch fabric would be an excellent solution. Matte film fits even in a country room. Lining or drywall are also often used in wooden houses.
Cost in Moscow time for interior decoration of a house
What expenses should the owner of a wooden house be prepared for in order for a construction company to carry out the interior finishing? Everything will depend on the volume and complexity. On average, a team of installers in Moscow ask for 90 rubles per square meter to apply impregnation in one layer, 110 rubles per square meter for oil, 160 rubles per square meter for wax or varnish. Painting the inside of a log house will cost from 210 rubles per square meter + price of materials. Installation of an aluminum frame for all finishing panels costs 320 rubles per square meter.
Covering a room with sheets of plasterboard is 310 rubles per square meter, vinyl siding or panels without insulation - 650 rubles per square meter, and with insulation 750 rubles per square meter + cost of materials.
Installation of block-house panels is slightly cheaper, 470 rubles per square meter, excluding lathing and related work. The price of gluing artificial stone to a wall is at least 1,300 rubles per square meter, but provided that the surface is already prepared. The price of turnkey work is not less than 10,000 rubles per square meter. Installation of a tongue-and-groove floorboard will cost 650 rubles per square meter including joists, parquet without sanding 700 rubles per square meter, linoleum or laminate 280 rubles per square meter. Ceiling cladding with clapboard will cost from 550 rubles per square, plasterboard 480 rubles. And installation of stretched PVC fabric will cost from 560 rubles per square without taking into account the material.
Non-standard options for finishing a wooden house
Even from simple material you can make original home decoration inside, for example, a ceiling made of clapboard with carved elements. You can also make a silhouette of a Japanese tree on a wall made of stones. The base is covered with the same tiles. In the right hands, parquet will become a real work of art, and no carpet will be required.
Kitchen
Below is an example where wood, in addition to the surrounding surfaces, is also reflected in the elements of kitchen furniture. The light facades of the set decorate the cooking room. Finishing with ceramic tiles is a very practical design solution. The kitchen ensemble is located along the wall, making it possible to install a dining group. A table and adjacent chairs are the necessary equipment for a dining area. Two functional areas are illuminated by a chandelier decorated with floral elements.
Cozy kitchen-dining room
Bedroom
Wood texture is an excellent background in the interior of a sleeping room. The photo below proves this. The elegant bed has a soft headboard. Luxurious textiles are used in its decoration. In the bedroom there was a place not only for this main item, but also for other furniture: a comfortable banquette, tables with curved legs, a closet with shelves. Upstairs, in the center of the room, there is a chandelier with crystal pendants. Above the bedside table there is a row of ceiling lights. In another segment of the room there is an easy chair and an impressively sized floor lamp. The bedroom windows are decorated with practical Roman blinds.

Types of laminated veneer lumber
All laminated timber according to its intended purpose is divided into:
- Wall;
- Window-door;
- Bearer (support).
The walls of the house are made from the first one. The second is used to make windows, doors and furniture. And the third type of laminated veneer lumber is intended for the construction of load-bearing supports, roof and staircase frames, interfloor beams, etc. The edges of lumber for walls can be smooth or with spikes for a more durable connection. The other two options are always made square or rectangular in cross-section without any cutouts.
By profile
According to the profile of the working sides, the two most common types of wall laminated timber for the home are comb and Finnish (Scandinavian). The first option has small rectangular teeth on top and bottom of the beam. When laid, these tenons provide a secure connection. But if the lumber is of poor quality, then the teeth on the stacked “logs” may not coincide with each other. And then adjusting them takes a lot of time.
Connection types
In Scandinavian timber, instead of a comb, when profiling, a tongue-and-groove joint is made with a recess in the middle. Such a profile allows you to install insulation into the existing recess, which is invisible from the outside. As a result, a house made of laminated veneer lumber with a Scandinavian look is warmer. It requires less caulking, which greatly speeds up the process of building walls.
By type of design
According to the internal structure, laminated veneer lumber for assembling the walls of a wooden structure can be purchased:
- Cheap, uninsulated.
- More expensive insulated.
- Bent for arches and curved railings.
Insulated option
The insulated version already has a layer of thermal insulation material. When using it, you will not have to use additional insulation for the walls of a wooden house. However, standard uninsulated lumber is cheaper. And if the thickness of the timber allows you to do without an additional layer of heat insulation, then it is more profitable to buy it.
The bent version is 50–100% more expensive than the conventional version of the same section. But without it it is difficult to create curved shapes in the interior of the house. On the one hand, it is largely a decorative timber, and on the other, due to its strength, it remains a reliable structural material. Stairs, arches and other interior structures with curves are made from it.
The cross-section of load-bearing laminated veneer lumber can reach up to 300 millimeters. The product for windows has a thickness and width of 80–90 mm, and for doors – up to 120 mm. Wall without insulation has cross-sectional dimensions from 100 to 180 mm. And the thickness of the insulated type reaches 270 mm.
Bent beam
Cabinet
For those who spend a lot of time working, they need a room where they can retire. Setting up an office is the best solution in this situation. A comfortable table is of particular importance here. It needs to be placed by the window. A soft chair on wheels will provide additional comfort. Greenery will refresh the appearance of the office, and a corner shelving unit and a small table will allow you to place some gizmos and accessories. After work, it’s nice to relax on a soft sofa. For example, you can sit close to the floor lamp and delve into reading your favorite book.

Features of wooden houses
House interior decoration is not fundamentally different from a block or brick frame. You just need to take into account a few features:
- Wood requires mandatory protection from moisture.
- Over time, the gaps between the beams increase.
- Complete timber shrinkage lasts several years.
Please note that due to such nuances, you cannot rush to start finishing the interior of the house, as otherwise cracks will appear in the ceiling and walls. To avoid any troubles, it is necessary to coat the wood with a protective varnish the first year after building the frame.
The underfloor should be made of two layers, which consists of a subfloor and a main floor. And the ceiling must either be left with open beams, or covered with PVC fabric. Builders recommend following proper procedures when finishing a house made of wood:
- Decoration of the ceiling surface (puttying and varnishing of beams, installation of finishing coating).
- Timber processing (filling cracks, filling, applying antiseptics and decorative finishing).
- Main floor covering.
- Installation of engineering communications on top of the subfloor.
In a new building, it is better to leave the original appearance of the timber - natural, environmentally friendly and smooth. And in the case when the log house has stood for a couple of decades, then ideally it should be covered inside with modern finishing materials, since restoring the appearance of the wood will be expensive and difficult.
Bathroom
Leaving all the surfaces in this room wooden is not very practical. It is better to cover the area most exposed to moisture with tiles or oilcloth. The floor surface must also be waterproof. The bathroom should have all the necessary equipment, as well as accessories in the form of a hanger and a mirror.
Bathroom
Bathroom
It is not surprising that in a home with such an attractive interior and in utilitarian rooms, the same design concept applies as in the rest of the rooms - comfort and coziness in an attractive outfit, created with the help of exquisite furniture, original decor and great attention to detail.
Obviously, for a bathroom, wooden finishing is not the most practical way to decorate surfaces, especially those that are constantly exposed to moisture and temperature changes. Therefore, wooden wall slabs were left to finish the ceiling and the space around the windows, and the remaining surfaces were lined with ceramic tiles. The combination of white with turquoise and blue shades in the wall decoration evokes memories of the sea, freshness and coolness. An elegant decoration for the area with two sinks was not only decorative inserts of ceramic tiles with a pattern, but also a carved frame for the mirror with a unique lace decor.
Russian hut
This is the first thing that comes to mind when choosing a room design option. After all, wood is an original Russian material for building houses. No wall decoration is required here. Glued laminated timber in such an interior appears in all its glory. Roughly processed surfaces go well with it. Wood carving will come in handy here. The furniture in the “Russian hut” is simple: a spacious wooden table, benches, stools. In such an interior there is a place for antique chests. They can be used not only for storing things, but also as stylized tables or benches. Grandma’s textiles will also come in handy here. Lovingly embroidered towels and homespun rugs will further immerse you in the atmosphere of country life. In the kitchen you need to place a samovar in a prominent place. But it is advisable to carefully disguise modern household appliances so as not to disturb the style of the interior. And of course, it’s worth taking care of installing a real stove. Even a fireplace would be inappropriate in this case.
Rustic style in the interior
Timber processing
The timber must be treated with special compounds, and, in particular, fire retardants. In this case, the material will be protected from the negative effects of fungus, mold and other parasites. Plus, the treated timber in the factory acquires sufficient strength.
It is also worth noting the fact that purchased laminated veneer lumber requires processing after installation. It is covered with stain, varnish or paint. In the case of using stain and varnish, the structure of the wood can be emphasized. In the photo you can see the interior of the house, where the material is varnished.
Country style
This style reflects the decor of a Western farmhouse. This interior looks casual, but not boring at all. Natural wooden walls and lack of shine create a warm, cozy atmosphere. Linen or cotton colored textiles are used in the upholstery of armchairs, curtains and pillow decor. The chandelier can be forged, with lampshades.
Country style furnishings
Hunting lodge
This option is especially suitable if the building is small. The decor should be simple and perhaps even rough. In this case, it is also better to leave the walls and ceiling natural. Exposed beams are a big plus in the design of rooms. The ideal floor covering is solid boards. When creating a “hunter’s house”, you should not think about purchasing new modern furniture. An old one, on which time has left its mark, is perfect. Luxurious, expensive synthetic bedspreads will be completely inappropriate here. It is enough to throw the skin on a sofa or bench, as if it were a trophy brought from a successful hunt.
What is laminated timber
Glued laminated timber is a high-tech structural material made from wood. It is made from several layers of wooden lamellas (fragments, boards), which are first folded into bags of the required thickness and then glued together under a press. During final processing, it is ground and profiled on machines.
This lumber is intended for the construction of low-rise cottages and other buildings on a personal plot. It is used both in the construction of load-bearing walls and in the installation of rafter systems for the roof and joists for the floor. Not only houses are built from it, but also gazebos, garages and utility yards. It is also used in the manufacture of stairs, furniture, doors, windows and other carpentry.
In the production of laminated veneer lumber for private house construction, Russian factories mainly use the following wood species:
Production process
The production of this timber involves deep and complex processing of wood raw materials. All the trimmings remaining after sawing the trunk are used. At the same time, at the sorting stage, lamellas with defects are completely rejected or unsuitable areas are simply cut out of them. The gluing technology allows you to use even fragments that are not too large in size.
As a result, only high-quality lamellas that are not damaged come under the press. Before gluing them into timber, all lumber is pre-dried in a chamber. By definition, the resulting timber product does not warp after being laid in a log house. It contains a minimum of moisture; there is simply nothing to evaporate naturally under the sun.
Compared to its profiled counterpart, this type of material is more durable and smooth during manufacturing. It does not warp during storage and use. After drying in the chamber, the lamellas have a humidity in the region of 8–16%. They are no longer deformed as part of the product.
Shrinkage of the walls of a laminated timber house is practically impossible. In a year they will drop by 1% at most. For comparison, a structure made from a profiled solid analog or rounded log of natural moisture will shrink by 10–15% in the same time.
The high structural strength of the lumber in question is due to the fact that the ends of the lamellas are milled before applying the glue. The glued surfaces acquire a serrated profile, which guarantees a more durable connection of individual boards in bending.
Scandinavian style
You should decorate the premises this way if you want to get the brightest possible interior. After all, the defining color here is white. The timber must have an appropriate shade. This is exactly the case when painting the surfaces will not hurt. This treatment will help maintain the style and even “expand” the room. Large windows are welcome in this fabulous setting. They will make the room even brighter. Weightless snow-white tulle will emphasize the overall charm, and thicker curtains in a beautiful shade will become an impressive accent. You can choose furniture and flooring in the form of a carpet to match the window design.
Magnificent whiteness
Mediterranean style
This arrangement option is an example of how wonderfully wood can be combined with other materials, namely stone and tiles. Ceramics in such interiors are present on the floor and walls. It’s a good idea to make an interesting mosaic out of the plates. And the stone can be included in the fireplace mantel and corner design. It is also a good idea to install majestic columns made of this material indoors. Decorative elements in an exotic Mediterranean interior include outdoor or antique pendant lamps, lambrequins on curtains, paintings with Italian motifs, and luxurious furniture. The kitchen will be decorated with fancy bottles, fruit baskets and clay pots. The abundance of green plants that have absorbed solar energy is another sign of such an interior. Below is an example of how you can decorate a living room area in a Mediterranean style.

English style
It is unlikely that it will be possible to create such an environment for little money. Her craving for luxury is in harmony with dignity and restraint. English interior implies comfort. Deep soft chairs, massive beds and spacious wardrobes can deliver it. Such solid furniture looks good in spacious rooms. Dark wood is used for decoration. Walls can be covered with wallpaper depicting patterns or plant motifs. An expensive carpet will add coziness to the room, and antique candlesticks will evoke special emotions in such an atmosphere. The ceiling chandelier should match the noble surroundings.

The above described only what you should rely on. But in the matter of arranging your own home, there is always room for personal preferences and imagination. Therefore, you should never deny yourself the desire to add something of your own to the interior of your home.
Original ideas
The interior of a house made of laminated veneer lumber looks good in both light and dark versions. French “Provence” is ideal for the kitchen. The walls are decorated with white matte impregnation, the main element of “Provence”. Kitchen flooring is best made from moisture-resistant material. The wood here will quickly wear out and lose its presentation. Therefore, it is better to use ceramic tiles. It is better to cover household appliances with wooden facades. Metal and plastic will be inappropriate here.
The Provence style color palette is based on natural tones.
Furniture is selected in soft colors, preferably with an artificially aged surface
The kitchen space is also decorated in Scandinavian style. There is no need to completely hide the wood panels. But diluting the soft, light brown shade of the wood a little would be a great idea.
To create a Scandinavian interior, the walls are covered with white paint.
Ceramic flooring with an imitation of a colorful carpet will last as long as the house itself
It is interesting to furnish the entrance hall of the cottage in the English style. For this purpose, expensive furniture is purchased. The window openings are hung with checkered curtains characteristic of England. This style is characterized by a dark shade of interior elements, so the wood is selected with the same texture. Oak will fit perfectly into English design. If finances do not allow, ordinary pine is coated with a special impregnation.
