Features of the interior for the cottage

Recently, private houses for a city dweller have been an oasis of silence, coziness and comfort. More and more residents of megalopolises are trying to move out of town. In this regard, the relevance of design projects for the interior arrangement of cottages is increasing.

The interior of the house should be chosen based on your own preferences. In most cases, it does not matter what status a country cottage has. Many people cannot afford elite housing, but an inexpensive frame house or construction using an ordinary timber will not require large financial investments.

The main feature of creating an interior is the development of a single concept common to the entire structure.

The design should be approached reasonably, taking into account the preferences of the owners, the material from which the house is built, the number of storeys, the backyard and many other factors. You cannot blindly focus on design ideas seen in fashion magazines, as they may not be suitable for a comfortable stay.

In order to create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort, the designers offer the basic styles used for private houses.

A wooden house made of beams or logs will look great in any rustic style.

With homespun rugs, carved platbands on windows and doors. The basis around the entire perimeter of the house is log: floor, walls and ceiling.

French country design, which has a slightly shabby interior, as if burnt out in the sun and weathered by the sea winds. Thick beams are visible on the ceiling, ceramic tiles or artificial stone are characteristic on the floor. Brick and wood with an unpainted effect may be present in the wall decoration.
