Imitation of timber in the interior

A country house is a great alternative to a city apartment, and many of our compatriots have already understood this. Fresh air, magnificent scenery, spaciousness - what could be more beautiful? Of course, you want to breathe easily inside the house. This will require sustainable materials.

An excellent solution is imitation of a bar. Such decoration of rooms always looks great, the room becomes cozy and comfortable. How to choose the right type of timber imitation, tone, to give the desired color to the room - we analyze in the article.

Decorating a house with imitation timber can be both internal and external. This material is excellent for revealing the interior walls of brick houses, cinder block, foam block, gas and foam concrete, frame buildings.

False beams can be used to sheathe not only walls, it also looks great on the ceiling or floor. You just need to choose the right shade so that it is in harmony with the tone of the walls, then the room will look complete and holistic.

Imitation of a bar is made exclusively from coniferous trees, such as spruce, pine, larch. They are not only excellent for indoor and outdoor cladding, but also create a special microclimate in it. Previously, it was possible to imitate a timber in the interior decoration of a house using several types of lining. Now there are new materials - types of decorative panels, decorative bars, as well as planken and docking.

The most popular type of imitation of timber in the interior remains a false beam. A raised beam is a well-dried board with a grinding on the outside. Such a bar can have different widths, while the length varies in the range of 2-6 m.

This type of finish has a lot of advantages.

• First of all, it is naturalness and environmental friendliness. Wood does not emit any fumes harmful to humans, if one of the conifers is used for the manufacture of false beams, then, on the contrary, such material neutralizes bacteria.
• Standard size timber is more difficult and takes longer to dry. With imitation, this activity is much faster and easier. In addition, at the stage of grinding, each element is treated with an antiseptic and fire retardant. The first is from rot and fungus, the second is from ignition and combustion.
• The similarity of the decorative bar with the present is almost complete, it looks absolutely natural, while its cost is much lower.
• For a false beam, a sharp change in air temperature is not terrible, it does not collapse under the influence of ultraviolet rays, does not fade.
• This type of lumber is not subject to shrinkage. They can be used to revet not only warm rooms, but also attics, loggias, balconies, verandas, storage rooms.
• False beams are perfectly combined with other finishing materials, which makes it possible to create a variety of room decor options.
• In addition to decorative, it has a soundproofing function.
• Keeps the room warm.
• Keeps an attractive look for a long time.
• Even a beginner can handle the installation - the “thorn-groove” system is not so complicated, no special knowledge and tools are required.
• Budgetary. An important factor in our time. False beams are significantly cheaper than conventional timber.At the same time, it looks absolutely the same as a full-fledged bar.

When using imitation timber, the room will look completely new. Wallpaper will not create such a unique microclimate in the room, because timber is not only color and texture, but also the aroma of real wood! False beam panels will decorate any room - from the steam room to the hallway. They do not require additional decor in the form of paintings and posters on the walls, the wood itself looks very elegant.

In order not to visually reduce the proportions of the room, you need to choose the right texture and shade of the tree. For small spaces, shades such as white, milky, light gray, beige, ecru are suitable. It is these colors that expand the space and increase the height.

In small rooms, it is undesirable to use contrasting shades, for example, a black floor and white walls. Even less expedient will be a dark ceiling - it will seem to hang almost over your head. It is better to arrange the entire room in the same light shade. The less furniture there is in such a room, the more spacious it seems. In rooms with a large area, you can dream up - play on contrasting shades or zone the space using different tones of wood.

In the kitchen, the false beam always looks appropriate. You can only finish the walls, only the ceiling or the entire kitchen - it's up to the owners of the apartment to decide. If there is a kitchen set on one of the walls, then three others can be trimmed with panels. And you can select one wall or corner with the help of an imitated bar, equipping a dining area there. If the kitchen is small, the trim should be placed horizontally, choosing wide panels.

The living room is a room where you can give free rein to the imagination in the tinting of the lamellas and in their texture. There are a lot of options for creating a cozy and comfortable environment. If in the bedroom, in the overwhelming majority of cases, neutral, calm tones and their combinations are used, then in the living room the colors can be more daring and outstanding. For example, the walls can be made olive and the floor gray-brown.

The combination of lilac walls and a light gray floor will also look very fresh and unusual, especially supported by the rest of the components. - curtains, furniture, carpet, accessories, etc. A popular option is to highlight one of the walls in a bright color - mint, turquoise, lemon, and the rest remain neutral. Thus, you can zone the room without using a partition.

To make your sleep sound and calm, the scent of wood is just that! Therefore, in the bedroom, as nowhere else, an imitation of a bar is appropriate. There are a huge number of design solutions for decorating bedrooms. If the furniture has a certain shade of wood, you can choose the same or a contrasting tone for the walls. It is not necessary to trim the room with a bar from floor to ceiling - this lumber is perfectly combined with other finishing materials.

To create a unique style and color solution using imitated timber trim does not require a lot of effort and money. You can use a false beam as a decorative finish only on open sections of the walls, then the rest can be "masked" with furniture.

In the bathroom, both play on contrast and completely monochrome neutral-colored design are acceptable. For people who are brave and devoid of prejudices, we can recommend a combination of snow-white plumbing and dark walls and floors. Or you can make the design the other way around - white floor, ceiling, walls and black glossy plumbing.

Such options look best in a combined bathroom or in bathrooms that have enough space for such a design. If the bathroom and toilet have standard, typical sizes, then it is more advisable to refrain from color experiments when decorating them, decorating the rooms from floor to ceiling in one light neutral shade - gray, milk, coffee with milk, cream. It is permissible to use pastel shades - lilac, powdery, blue, yellow.

A children's room is a room where not only the decorative function of the false beam is useful, but also sound and heat insulating. The baby will sleep comfortably where it smells of freshness and pine needles, where the walls "breathe", such a finish is not only not harmful, but also useful for the child's body. As already mentioned, any room (both heated and cold) can be decorated with imitation of timber. In the basement in the basement of the house, such a finish will look noble, in the steam room and the change house, when heated, a pleasant coniferous aroma will stand out.

Magnificent dining room decorated with imitation timber panels, looks like a picture from a magazine.

It is not at all necessary to upholster all walls with a false beam. The fragmentary finish looks original and fresh, especially when combined with painted walls.

Wide panels give the room a traditional Russian flavor, but at the same time they look up-to-date and modern.
