The design of a wooden house is an incredibly interesting technologically and creatively process of creating an interior that is in harmony with the texture of natural wood. What style is best for the interior and what wooden houses look like after turnkey designer renovations can be found in our review of projects (Moscow).
Basic design rules
It is better to think about the interior decoration even before the construction stage. In this case, subsequent finishing will take place without any problems and will create charming rooms that fully meet the needs of the owners.
Options for interior design in a wooden house can be completely different, but one rule should always apply: the wood is as visible as possible due to cabinets, carpets and other decorative elements.
A wooden house should not be cluttered with pieces of furniture. The more free space remains, the more the charm of wood will be revealed and the more comfortable each room and the transitions between them will become.
For interior decoration I choose only natural materials. It can be stone, fabric, ceramics, metal.
Wooden furniture will be an excellent additional element, gently repeating the pattern of walls, floors, and ceilings.
A little roughness of the furniture will bring a handmade feeling to the house. They try to choose the color of the furniture a little darker than the wood finish.
The color scheme is selected in calm colors, it is better if they are natural tones: delicate green grass, azure cloudless sky, delicate sand, grayish clay, cozy coffee with milk.

Popular styles for decorating a wooden house
The modern interior of wooden houses can be decorated in any style you like. This design does not limit the scope for the designer’s creativity. Quite the contrary - stylistics provides a starting point for activity, sets the general direction and the right tone. But the method of its implementation is an individual task for each case.
Finnish style
The natural beauty of wood will be emphasized by the Finnish interior of a wooden house . The endless forests and many lakes of the Suomi country are reflected in the interior design. A lot of light and air are present in the room with a bright high ceiling and large windows. Comfort is created by a fireplace with logs, simple wooden furniture with soft pillows and blankets. The colors are calm - milky white colors in combination with blue or terracotta shades without bright spots predominate.
Chalet style

- the walls and ceiling are decorated with materials of delicate colors and shades - lavender, lemon and beige;
- antique floorboards are laid in the rooms , terracotta-colored tiles are installed in the kitchen and bathroom;

- for home textiles - cotton and linen; there is a floral pattern on the upholstery;
- The interior is complemented by porcelain figurines, plates with rural landscapes, and watercolors in pastel colors.
Russian style
A modern example of Russian folk style is a country house, the interior of which is characterized by the following elements:
- there must be a stove decorated with decorative plaster or tiles;
- the furniture does not clutter up the rooms, leaving free space;
- Natural wood predominates from materials , window frames are always wooden - there are no plastic double-glazed windows; surfaces are not painted, maintaining the natural structure; the backs of chairs and headboards of beds are decorated with elaborate carvings;

- the dishes are stylized as antique - samovar, bowls and jugs; everything is decorated with Khokhloma or Gzhel paintings;

Scandinavian style
The main principle of a Scandinavian-style interior in a wooden house is functional minimalism. No decorations, paintings on the walls or embroidered tablecloths. Everything is clear and to the point:
- colors are used that visually expand the space - white, cream, gray and beige;
- wide panoramic windows and a minimum of walls - the rooms are bright and spacious; light curtains on the windows;
- practical, functional furniture - wicker chairs and sofas with soft pillows;
- patterns on furniture and carpets in marine and northern styles, for decorations - black and white photographs in strict frames.
Classic style (noble nest)
Eternal classics in the strict, sedate decoration of a country house. It is characterized by the following techniques:
- wooden walls are plastered or sheathed with fabric;
- stylized in the 19th century - tables and chairs with bent legs, leather sofas, a bureau with many drawers; there are corresponding fittings everywhere - gold-plated handles and hinges;
- many textile details and draperies made of velvet and satin;
- on the walls there are paintings in gilded frames, candlesticks and candelabra, mirrors in massive frames.
Country style
A peculiar combination of chalet and Provence styles - natural shades, a fireplace, a lot of textiles and forged products. The hallmark of country style is the presence of handmade elements - from furniture to napkins. Pastel colors are complemented by bright colors.
English style
Elegant interior using valuable types of wood - walnut, oak, cedar. The walls and floors are finished in contrasting color materials. Furniture must include a rounded sofa with soft pillows, a rocking chair by the fireplace and carved shelves with trinkets.
Many ideas for decorating the interior of a house using wood will certainly help the owner to choose a design solution that is close to him. You can settle on one style and subordinate all the decoration to it. And if you like several options at once, their skillful combination will create a unique, unique interior of a wooden house in your favorite home.
Style selection
Not all designs are suitable for creating the interior of a wooden house. And each house has its own unique features that will contribute to the future style.
However, the best interior styles for wooden houses somehow resonate with national design elements.
Windows and textiles
The windows of a wooden house open up a view of the surrounding landscape and ensure the unity of man with nature, so covering them with multi-layer curtain structures is blasphemy. When choosing a project, it should be tied to the area, oriented to the sides so that from all the rooms you can observe the change of natural seasons, time of day, and admire the living greenery and colors of the garden. If the house is embedded in a pine forest or stands on a hill on the shore of a bay, then the windows should be open to the beauty of the world - otherwise, why did you choose such a site?
Projects of wooden houses with floor-to-ceiling glazing, cubic style of Baltic design, minimalism, externally finished with vertical or horizontal wooden cladding - this is an opportunity to build an eco-friendly house in a modern arrangement. “Walls” made of energy-saving double-glazed windows make it possible to create the feeling that the owners live inside the forest, dissolving in it, receiving daily energy replenishment. These windows require only minimal framing. It is optimal to use roller blinds with automatic drive, covering the interior from the bright sun, protecting them from overheating, and decorative items from fading, creating a cozy evening atmosphere during the white nights.
The textile design of the interior of the house is selected depending on the overall tone of the decoration. Panels with deep folds look good against the background of the walls if they contrast. In a bright interior, “naive” prints (small flowers, polka dots, thin stripes) look great and make it possible to use the Provence style inside a wooden house. Cotton fabrics with a blue pattern are appropriate on bleached wood. Depending on the style and purpose of the room, these can be English roses, Dutch genre walls, Gzhel patterns, marine prints or graphic patterns.
English style
Good quality and rather heavy furniture transports the inhabitants to noble England during the heyday of the aristocracy.

Here the main role is played by the restraint of colors, the elegance of furniture silhouettes, expensive finishing materials, and dark tones.
Alpine style
The chalet style is based on the simplicity and solidity of mountain houses. The basis of the interior will be a working fireplace, designed to maintain warmth, so necessary on cold Alpine nights and to save from the icy blizzard.
Simplicity is reflected in all the finishing: the floor beams are not covered, but become a design element; the materials predominantly used are stone and wood.
When to start interior decoration of a wooden house in a modern style
The main rule is that finishing work should begin only after the structure has completely settled. In the case of laminated veneer lumber, you will have to wait at least 3 months. If the house is made of logs, the period will increase to at least a year. It is difficult to name the exact shrinkage time - the period depends on the climatic characteristics of the region, construction conditions and moisture levels of the material. Experts recommend taking your time and waiting. If you start interior decoration too early, you may encounter unpleasant consequences in the form of material coming off the walls or warped cladding.
Advice! Periodically measure the height of the walls in your new home. If you no longer see stable dynamics of change, then the main processes of shrinkage are behind you.
The second important point is the tightness of the joints. Until you achieve it, any finish will look unattractive. Even if you decide to leave “bare” walls, still monitor the size of the gaps between the logs.
Russian style
The “village hut” in the Russian style is characterized by the massiveness and simplicity of its components.
Here the main elements will be ordinary benches and antique chests, display cases and chests of drawers, carved beds with embroidered pillows. The Russian stove will add special attractiveness to the style.

Classic style
It is characterized by sophisticated chic and rich design. In this style, rich colors, the use of expensive finishing materials, and carved elements are appropriate.
Crystal and gilded items, striking clocks, and paintings in expensive frames are perfect decorative items.
Walls
The smooth wall covering is carefully sanded and varnished. Thus, the tree acquires additional protection, and the natural appearance is preserved in its original beauty. Light varnishes in beige and white colors will bring additional freshness to the room.
The use of light and dark stains or the installation of darker furniture or the use of curtains in rich colors will give contrast to the walls.
Proceed in the same way with rounded logs.
A slight touch of antiquity
If folk style is chosen as a reference for the interior, then you should pay special attention to the dominant colors and devote time to carefully working out the details that emphasize the “Russian spirit.” A large whitewashed or tiled glazed stove will immerse the room in the atmosphere of a fairy tale. The vaulted ceilings of the historical analogue (chambers, churches, light rooms), due to the complexity of design calculations and the high cost of reproduction, should be replaced with inclined, upward planes in the rooms of turrets, bay windows, and the tops of towers.
The ceiling, painted in the ancient Russian manner, will be a real work of art. Thin intertwining flowers, patterns, leaves on a light or contrasting background (crimson, emerald-grass, azure), and in the children's room - heroes of folk tales, stars and smiling celestial bodies, painted in bright natural colors and gold - these picturesque motifs, impressions of paintings of objects of ancient Russian architecture, will spread out like a luxurious silk tent, from which it is impossible to take your eyes off. Such a technique is very rare; it requires the true skill of the artist, but causes indescribable delight in everyone who sees this perfection.
Floor
The floor covering is most often left from ordinary boards coated with a protective layer of varnish. For expensive interiors, parquet is used.
In “wet” rooms (kitchen, bathroom), floor tiles with a stone or wood pattern are more popular.
The cork covering will make the atmosphere of the house non-standard and very soft in all respects.
Planning solutions in the design of a house made of timber
A house made of timber can be either single or multi-story. But for all wooden buildings there are some common features of planning solutions. On the first floors of such buildings, designers always place a kitchen-dining-living room. The kitchen area can occupy a separate room, but it must be adjacent to the dining area. On the upper floors of wooden houses, as a rule, there are bedrooms and recreation areas. If the project includes an attic floor, then you get additional space where you can organize a home theater, a nursery, an office, a relaxation area and even a dance floor.
House made of timber with a gallery

Unfortunately, it cannot be said that galleries in the living room are a ubiquitous phenomenon in the design of a house made of timber. But if the architectural design provides for the possibility of arranging such mezzanines, then you should definitely take advantage of it. The interior of the gallery should complement the overall composition and be combined with the design of the lower level. On the second level it is customary to place a library or an area for relaxation and reading.
Kitchen-dining room in country style
All photos In the photo: Design of a kitchen-dining room in country style
If the footage of a wooden house allows, then you can arrange a dining room in a separate room. However, as a rule, dining areas are located in the same room as the kitchen or living room. Modern trends suggest an almost complete rejection of zoning elements in the design of the kitchen-dining room. Therefore, you can forget about choosing two types of flooring.
Ceiling
To create an unusual ceiling, wooden beams are most often left exposed. The roof slabs are painted in contrasting colors or matched to the color of the beams.
For the first floor or small fans of too high ceilings, wooden boards, varnished or white painted, or suspended ceilings are used for finishing.
Materials used for surface finishing
Any wooden structure will always maintain its unique microclimate. Parts and materials of interior decoration should not violate this indicator. Panels and sheets for lining a hallway or living room from the inside must match the composition of wood, be environmentally friendly and safe.
When choosing a finishing material, it is necessary to take into account the coefficients of the sheathing elements and the base itself, since differences in humidity and temperature can lead to their compression and expansion.
Wall finishing options
Interior wall decoration is an important component of any construction. In the case of a wooden house, the choice of cladding should be approached with all responsibility. Optimal interior design can be achieved using the following materials:
- Lining. A huge selection of texture options allows you to use such panels to create any room design. They have excellent heat and sound insulation, are easy to install independently, and have an attractive appearance.
- Drywall. Not suitable for every room. The walls of the bathroom and shower must be sheathed with sheets that are resistant to moisture. In the kitchen and boiler room it is necessary to use material with increased fire-resistant properties. Using drywall you can hide unwanted communications and make the wall surface perfectly flat.
- Cork panels. The expensive material fully justifies the cost with its unique characteristics. It can be combined with other natural panels by covering only part of the wall with cork. The solid coating has excellent sound insulation properties and a beautiful topography.
- Decorative rock. Plaster is often used to decorate walls, but any combination is possible. To create an ideal relief, only a perfectly flat surface is suitable. With the help of decorative stone you can give any room an original and natural appearance.
- Plastic panels. Inexpensive and practical plastic is ideal for wet areas. Evenness can be achieved by constructing a standard frame before sheathing.
- Decorative plaster. This finishing method is used to level the walls and insulate them. The decorative material also increases fire resistance and increases protection against microorganisms. First, surfaces are prepared, shingles are filled, beacons are installed and a solution is applied.
- Staining. One of the simplest and most popular wood processing methods. The stain perfectly protects the base material from external influences and improves its performance characteristics. Some types of wood must be deresined before applying the solution.
- Painting. Decorative painting is suitable for perfectly smooth timber. Small seams are hidden using a special cord. It will also serve as an additional seal and protect against drafts.
- Applying varnish. In this way, you can completely preserve the structure, emphasize the texture of the log house, highlight natural patterns and create a beautiful tone.
Floor materials
The floor covering must be durable and reliable. Such work is carried out at the last stage of construction. For this purpose, a variety of materials are used, taking into account the purpose of the rooms. The flooring in the hallway should be non-marking and as reliable as possible. In the bathroom and toilet, due to contact with water, the floors are covered with moisture-resistant, easy-to-clean elements. Eco-friendly options with high resistance to mechanical loads are suitable for the bedroom and dining room. The following materials are most often used:
- Self-leveling floor. It has the highest moisture resistance of the presented options. The seamless surface looks aesthetically pleasing and protects the wooden base well from the appearance of fungus. Disadvantages include high cost and the need for serious preparation.
- Parquet board, laminate. This option allows you to obtain a visual resemblance to any type of wood, but significantly exceed its performance characteristics.
- Linoleum. Suitable for premises of any purpose. Budget coverage is produced in a wide range. The main advantages include simple installation, moisture resistance, mechanical strength and easy maintenance. The warm material is easy to install and does not allow moisture to pass through.
- Ceramic tile. Most often used for finishing floors in bathrooms and kitchens. Tiles can be considered an ideal option because they are safe for health, resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and ultraviolet radiation.
- A natural stone. Has the highest mechanical strength and unlimited service life. The main disadvantage is the heavy weight. This complicates installation work and limits the possibility of use in some structures. Natural stone floors require special care.
Ceiling finishing materials
The design of the ceiling surface is of great importance in the overall decoration of a wooden house. The choice of material and method will depend on the stylistic direction of the room. Modern projects and the rules for their creation can be seen in the photographs in the catalog. The following ceiling materials can be considered the most suitable for any room design:
- Stretch ceiling. Seamless PVC fabrics have many advantages. The stretched film does not deform and holds its shape perfectly when the new house shrinks. The main disadvantage is the lack of repairability.
- Plasterboard. With the help of such material you can implement any projects. It allows enough air to pass through to ensure an optimal level of humidity in the room. Before installation, you will need to build a special frame according to the plan.
- Wooden. More often, rack elements are used for this. They are attached to the installed timber sheathing on the load-bearing ceiling structure. All parts fit easily together with grooves, leaving no gaps. You can also use clapboard to cover the ceiling.
Lighting
Properly selected lighting will add airiness to the interior design and help hide minor imperfections.
Ideal lighting fixtures include ceiling chandeliers and spotlights that provide complete lighting, wall sconces and spotlights that highlight certain areas, and floor lamps that create soft comfort.
Furniture and decor
Each style requires certain items that transform an empty room into a functional space. However, you shouldn’t fill your home with too many things; it’s much better to use only the items you really need.
For furniture, the main rule will be massiveness and reliability, which will not allow these things to get lost against the background of wooden finishing.
Textiles should not be too bright, and decorative items should not fill all the free space. Their main purpose is to emphasize the elegance of the wood and the chosen style, and not to distract attention.
Photos of the interiors of wooden houses will demonstrate all the charm of such dwellings, their charming uniqueness and the beauty of nature.
