Three rules for creating a cozy bedroom in a log house
The location of the room plays an important role, since the bedroom is intended, first of all, for sound and healthy sleep.
Natural wood is an environmentally friendly material that provides a healthy microclimate in a living space.
The presence of finishing materials and furnishings in such an interior should be minimal.
- The room should be located as far as possible from the corridor and kitchen.
- If the house has several floors, then it is better to choose the top one. It will be quiet and warm there.
- If you have an attic or attic, they will be the optimal solution for a bedroom.
Advice! Choose light colors as the main color, but to ensure that the interior of a bedroom in a wooden house is not too faded, add bright accents: pillows, curtains, lamps, and other accessories.
The openness of wooden surfaces in the bedroom interior is supported by the aroma of natural wood, which has a calming effect.
Chest of drawers or wardrobe
More often, furniture for clothes and bed linen with towels is placed in the bedroom to improve functionality. You can do without a closet or chest of drawers when the building has a separate wardrobe room. But if the house is compact, then you should think carefully about the design and color of additional furniture.
In a wooden house, cabinets covering the entire wall to the height of the ceiling will fit harmoniously. Before you decorate your bedroom, you need to decide what color the furniture will be, starting with the bed. The ideal option would be if the bed and wardrobe or chest of drawers are made in the same style and from the same material. For compactness, it is better to order a solid cabinet, but not deep, with a sliding door. The outer wall is decorated with glass with or without spraying.
A room where one wall is covered with wallpaper with flowers or monograms will look stylish, and the closet mirror will have the same engraving. In cases where it is not possible to install a full-fledged wardrobe, it can be replaced with a compact chest of drawers. Most often, a chest of drawers is installed in an attic bedroom, where the ceilings have a sloping angle and it is not possible to install a full-fledged wardrobe. A chest of drawers increases the functionality of the room and can always be decorated with small details that will highlight the interior of the bedroom.
Bedroom Design Styles
The design of a bedroom in a wooden house can be made in absolutely any style, but it is better to choose something authentic, close to nature and the rural way of life.
Modern styles are not used in such houses, since the priority remains the naturalness and openness of wooden surfaces.

- Country.
Wooden walls will be an excellent element of such an interior. This stylistic trend is characterized by an abundance of light, so do not use thick curtains. Great accessories would be family photos, antique candlesticks, lace lampshades and napkins on all horizontal surfaces (except the bed). When finishing the floor, ceiling and walls, give preference to light shades. - Provence.
Another popular trend is the rustic style. It is characterized by artificially aged furniture, an abundance of textiles, light shades in decoration, accessories or legs of beds and chairs made of forged metal, and floral patterns.

It will make your bedroom truly bright and comfortable. Give preference to calm, pastel shades; for decoration, use decorative elements made of stone or noble wood. Decorating the interior of a wooden country house should be aimed at emphasizing the advantages of natural materials.
Rustic interior elements
The main material in a bedroom in a country house is wood. Its unique texture and warm shade provide the room with maximum comfort. Wood is used in the manufacture of high-quality, comfortable furniture and as a durable floor covering. Natural material can also be used in the decoration of walls and ceilings.
In addition to wood, the following are used to create a comfortable interior:
- metal elements made by artistic forging;
- ceramics;
- natural textiles;
- natural panels;
- indoor plants, etc.
Wood is the main material for a rustic bedroom
The selection of elements depends on the specifics of the style, the era in which the design idea was borrowed. In the modern assortment you can find many products that will be a worthy addition to the interior. A variety of crafting skills will come in handy when decorating a rustic setting. Crocheted lace napkins, embroidered pillowcases, patchwork blankets, homespun rugs, panels with plants, etc. will look great in it. Wood carvings will be an ideal decoration.
In village houses, a special place is given to plants. Geraniums and ficus trees on the windowsills will add a touch of coziness to the atmosphere and make the interior more attractive and homely. You can choose other plants to suit your personal taste.
Plants will make the interior more homely
When creating a design project for a future interior, you must remember that this style should not contain pretentiousness or conspicuous luxury. One of the benefits of a rustic setting is simplicity, allowing for maximum functionality.
Bedroom in the attic
The attic is a fairly common place to create a bedroom. Therefore, you need to carefully approach the preliminary preparation of the room. It is necessary to insulate it, think over the lighting, and only after that take care of the beauty of the design.
The location of the bedroom should be determined at the stage of designing the house.
A house with two floors allows you to most rationally organize the location of “quiet” and “noisy” rooms relative to each other.
The right approach to design can visually “dissolve” the roof and create a cozy, warm room. To achieve this effect, use:
- Textile drapery;
- Walls painted with light paint;
- Minimum amount of furniture;
- Cross beams that will hide sharp corners (can be painted in a contrasting color).
The premises on the second floor are always warmer, and the arrangement of the rooms on two levels will provide the necessary isolation and intimacy.
Furniture items in rustic style
A bedroom in a rustic rustic style has a minimal number of pieces of furniture. For such designs, models are selected that imitate antique products made from untreated boards. Among the products of the world's leading brands you can choose the following:
- beds,
- cabinets,
- cabinets,
- chests of drawers
The rustic style is characterized by a minimal amount of furniture
A chest can be an excellent addition to a rustic look. Some manufacturers have such options in their assortment.
To create such an interior, wardrobes and interior glazed doors are not used. They do not correspond to the canons of rustic. As in country style, in these designs the frames of plastic windows must be decorated to create an imitation of a wooden structure.
Bedroom with sloping roof
A bedroom in a wooden house often turns out to be truly original if an attic with a sloping roof is chosen to create it. Although many people think that such an architectural feature “steals” part of the space. This drawback can be turned into an advantage and the main highlight of the entire interior decoration.
The roof slope forms an interesting configuration of the interior space, which allows you to create an original, unique bedroom interior.
Structural elements in the form of beams for some style trends are the touch that emphasizes the individuality of a wooden house.
Basic rules for decorating an attic bedroom
- The room should be well lit, not only with natural light, but also with additional sources.
- Use a small amount of furniture, do not overload the space.
- Experiment with accessories, decorative pillows, light curtains, original lamps.
The main thing is not to forget to decorate the windows with curtains, otherwise the interior will turn out somewhat empty and harsh.
Design elements
The first floor of the home makes it possible to decorate the bedroom in a more classic style, as this is facilitated by smooth walls and ceilings. The original design of the bedrooms offers an attic space, where the ceilings and walls make it possible to realize the most extraordinary ideas. In addition to furniture, the room can be supplemented with interior elements that will make the bedroom design unique and inimitable.
Mezzanine bedroom in a small wooden house
If the area is small, a cozy and unusual bedroom can be made on the mezzanine. To do this, a wooden structure is created in an ordinary room, fencing off part of the space near the ceiling.
The ceiling in a bedroom with log walls can be covered with “block house” clapboard, which will emphasize the relief of the surfaces.
Advantages of zoning:
- Space saving;
- Combination of several functional areas in one room;
- Creating a cozy nest.
This option fits harmoniously only into the interior of small houses; in spacious rooms, a mezzanine bedroom looks strange.
The eastern side will suit those who like to contemplate the first rays of the sun, while the western side will suit those who prefer to sleep longer.
Advice! In a mezzanine bedroom, discard any furniture: just a mattress, lighting fixtures and a couple of decorative elements that will create a truly comfortable tiny bedroom.
Country interior decoration
Ceilings in cozy country styles are traditionally painted white. If a bedroom in an apartment is decorated in this direction, you can use whitewash or water-based paint. In modern designs, stretch ceilings with textile fabrics are sometimes used. Lining or its imitation can be used in the design of the coating. The choice of option depends on the specific direction, the size of the room, and the specifics of the interior.
The best option for decorating floors is solid boards. This material perfectly matches the country atmosphere. Several types of wood are used in the production of boards, differing not only in technological parameters, but also in shades. You can find a tone that matches the character of a particular interior. If purchasing a solid board is difficult, you can use a laminate that imitates natural material.
Solid boards are the best option for flooring
To decorate the walls in a rustic bedroom you can use:
- paper or textile wallpaper;
- lining, imitation timber, blockhouse;
- decorative plaster.
Wallpaper with plant and floral patterns will look harmonious in classic country style. For Provence, decorative plaster in a sandy, beige shade can be used. A blockhouse that imitates the surface of a log house will help create the atmosphere of a Russian village hut.
Blockhouse imitates the surface of a log house
Wooden interior doors, trims, etc. will perfectly complement the interior. If the room has plastic windows, you can decorate the frames with laminated wood-like film.
Bedroom furniture in a wooden house
All pieces of furniture must be made only from natural materials. There is no need to fill up the entire space, use only the essentials: a large bed, a shelving unit, a chest of drawers, a shoe rack. If necessary, place a desk or rocking chair near the window.
In such an interior, it would be correct to use wooden furniture in any design, depending on the style.
Furniture can be either massive or elegant with thin carved legs.
A fluffy carpet on the floor and a warm blanket on the bed will make the interior even more cozy.
Bedroom decor
Don't overload the space and fill the room with cute trinkets.
The choice of decorative elements depends on the chosen style in the room.
Items that have practical value are also suitable for decoration:
- Lamps of unusual shape;
- Watch;
- Cover;
- Curtains;
- Carpet;
- Soft pillows;
- Candlesticks;
- Natural flowers.
Textile accessories are most harmoniously combined with natural wood - the fabric should be natural.
Handmade items are welcome.
Design work is an exciting activity. And the result will please you for a long time. With some effort, you can create a cozy and beautiful room that will promote good rest and sound sleep.
In a windowless room, it is necessary to equip a high-quality ventilation system to ensure an optimal microclimate.
What a bedroom could be like
Decorative elements in the bedroom are of great importance for shaping its appearance
The design of a sleeping area depends on many parameters, one of which is the area of the room and its location.
Bedroom with a small area
Wooden bedroom house design
A small bedroom is characterized by the presence of only the necessary furnishings, the main one of which is the bed. Other items should only be added if there is free space.
- It is important that the room does not look cluttered. An elegant table with forged legs can play the role of a bedside table. A lamp must be placed on it. If it is not possible to install a closet, then at least a chest of drawers or a chest is needed.
- Natural wood often has a rich natural shade, even its light species. To make the room visually lighter and more spacious, wooden surfaces can be painted white. This is the type of work that you can do with your own hands, especially since instructions for using the paint composition are given on its packaging.
A small room painted white visually becomes lighter and more spacious.
- Not only walls, but also furnishings, textiles, and decorative elements should have a light shade. You can use hanging shelves for accessories, books and small items. There should not be too much decor so that the room does not look cluttered.
- When choosing a bed, it is advisable to give preference to non-massive models made of light wood. For a bedroom in the Provence style, furniture with graceful carved legs or forged items painted white are suitable.
Wicker boxes and baskets will not only highlight the design, but will also become a convenient place to store pastel accessories and linen
For modern interiors, multifunctional furnishings are used. The bed design can be equipped with additional drawers for linen.
The main place should be occupied by the bed, and the storage area can be organized using a chest of drawers and mezzanines
Note: If the room is of sufficient height, you can put a bed in two tiers in the nursery, and for one child - a loft bed with a work space below or a wardrobe.
A small room should be illuminated evenly, without creating dark areas, otherwise the room will be visually perceived as even smaller.
Large bedroom
Using several window openings you can provide a sufficient amount of natural light in a large room
The larger the room, the more comfortable the conditions can be created by choosing any color scheme and number of furnishings. In such a room there is a greater chance of realizing any design idea and style decision.
The large area allows you to organize an additional functional area using armchairs and a coffee table
The shade of the walls: dark or light, will not affect the placement of all the necessary pieces of furniture - a spacious four-poster bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table and even additional furniture for organizing a workplace or living room area.
In such a room, it is important to properly organize the lighting - it should be uniform, with illumination of each individual zone.
In a large room you don’t have to be afraid to use massive pieces of furniture
When placing several functional areas in a large room, it is necessary that their design be made in the same style.
You can put a small sofa in the relaxation area
The minimalist style is not suitable for a large room, so you can safely use various decorative elements. Textiles, wooden picture and photo frames, figurines, handmade accessories and living plants go well with natural wood. Some styles allow the use of fur capes and wood crafts.
Room without windows
In a room without windows, it is important to properly organize lighting and ventilation.
Sometimes the bedroom is located in the attic without windows. Such an environment is not suitable for a permanent stay, but it is quite suitable solely for sleeping. You can use such a bedroom as a guest room - during the stay of relatives or friends.
Since natural light does not penetrate into such a room, it is necessary to equip it with sufficient artificial lighting with two intensity modes - bright and dim.
Important! In a windowless room, it is necessary to equip a high-quality ventilation system to ensure an optimal microclimate. Natural wood, of course, promotes air microcirculation, but artificial ventilation will not be superfluous.
To avoid the oppressive feeling of enclosed space in the room, you can install a false window on one of the walls in the form of a real wooden window frame with an image of the landscape behind the glass.
The lighting of a room without a window should be uniform and have several modes to create the necessary psychological atmosphere
Sources of artificial light can be represented by table lamps, wall sconces, floor lamps and spots mounted on ceiling beams. Be sure to place one or two mirrors on the walls to make the room brighter.
Spot lighting in the false ceiling will provide uniform lighting
Bedroom in the attic
The spacious attic space allows you to organize a comfortable sleeping place
When the bedroom is located on the attic or attic floor, it is necessary not only to make it beautiful, but also to properly insulate it, waterproof it and provide proper lighting. The fact that the part of the room formed by the roof slope does not seem functional at first glance is a misconception.
Using built-in furniture, you can organize a storage area in the form of shelves for books or a wardrobe, when installing hinged or sliding doors.
Bedroom in a small attic
There are several design techniques aimed at increasing the comfort and visual perception of the attic space as a bedroom:
- You can disguise the roof structure using textile drapery on the ceiling. To visually increase the space in the decoration of the walls, use light colors and place only the necessary furniture;
- You can visually adjust the geometry of the room, “remove” the sharp corners of the roof structure, using transverse decorative beams made of wood, painted in a contrasting, eye-catching color;
- In a small room, light wall decoration and furniture are used. Bright accents are added in doses;
- Only the most necessary furnishings are used;
- Decorate the room with textiles and figurines on hanging shelves.
Mezzanine bedroom in a small house
A mezzanine bedroom in a small wooden house will solve the problem of lack of free space.
In a small house there may not be an attic as such, which allows you to organize a two-level space and allocate the second tier for a sleeping place. The open layout of such a house looks modern and functional.
