Reiki in the interior

Reiki is an interesting option for interior decoration. With their help, you can decorate almost any space - from a balcony to a bedroom. They will not only decorate the interior, but also help to zone the room.

Decorative slats look original, however, before installing them, it is worth checking whether they fit the situation. Any design decision requires compliance with certain conditions so that everything looks beautiful and appropriate. In the case of rakes, or buffels, as they are also called, you need to pay attention to important factors.

• Room style... It is he who sets the rules when choosing finishes, furniture and decor. Interior slats are an attribute of modern trends, they do not fit well with historical styles. But you can think about ethnic ones. Also, some designers use buffels for decoration in the style of modern adapted classics, but in small quantities to highlight individual areas.
• Geometry of space. Frequent repetition of the same straight lines evokes a sense of stability and order. Such an atmosphere is more suitable for a study, but the living room can make it boring, so there should be used dosed slats and choose a placement method that will give the decor more dynamics.
• Height of rooms. Lines are capable of creating certain visual effects, and this must be taken into account.

Separately, it is worth considering the color combinations of the buffels and the wall or ceiling. Various options are possible.

• Tone on tone. A stylish move when the slats and the surface are in the same shade. This solution is often used in minimalist styles to add depth and complexity to the design while staying within the chosen direction.
• Reiki is brighter or darker than the main color scheme. This option will help to create accents in the room. So that the decor does not seem flickering, a difference of 2-3 tones is enough.
• Buffels are lighter than the general design. It is less common, as a rule, in multi-piece compositions or to dilute walls decorated in dark colors.

Buffeli - light decor, so they can be attached to almost any surface, installation does not require effort and does not take much time. Vertical or horizontal slats are placed on walls and ceilings... In addition, they are used as a tool for space zoning.

The finish can cover the entire surface or some part. For example, in the living room you can select an area with a TV, decorate the headboard in the bedroom, and fix wooden slats in the kitchen next to the dining table. That being said, there are two fixing methods:

• on glue if the slats are used only as decoration;
• on the frame, if any objects are attached to them - paintings, wall lamps, shelves, a TV.

Before gluing the slats, you need to process - paint or varnish, then fix... A suitable adhesive can be obtained from your hardware store. Metal slats and those on which something will hang, it is better to attach to the frame. To do this, you must first make and install the crate, and then use screws or nails to fix it.

Decorating the surface with slats allows you to hide irregularities. If the ceiling is not ideal, then this option will help to hide small defects, while the lamella lattice does not eat up a lot of space, unlike the same suspended structures, which can significantly reduce the height of the room. It will also be possible to hide the wires behind the decor - this is important if you want to mount a lighting system from several devices. The rails are fastened in the same way as for the walls: on glue (if they have only a decorative function) or on the frame (if some kind of load will act on them).

Buffels can not only be fixed to the surface, but also used as partitions. Decorative lattice structures will help divide the room into parts. This is true for rooms that combine two zones at once, for example:

• kitchen and dining room;
• bedroom and dressing room;
• living room and study.

Screens made of slats take up less space than an additional wall, light passes through them, so there is no feeling of being cramped. They can be placed in space in different ways, depending on the overall geometry of the room, while the installation does not require serious repair work and is done quite quickly.

Most often, wooden slats are used. There are several common options.

• Pine... This type of wood is inexpensive, so there will be no problems with the purchase of material. However, if you purchase raw blanks, you will have to apply protective compounds and varnish yourself.
• Beech. This material is more durable, but also requires protection from decay.
• Oak... It is considered an elite breed, therefore the price is appropriate. At the same time, it is highly durable, does not rot and is not afraid of moisture. Only a superficial treatment is enough for him.
• MDF... An inexpensive alternative to solid wood. Outwardly it looks like a natural material, but inferior in quality.

Metal slats are less common, but they are also used. They are more durable and stronger than wooden ones, so if you want to make the decoration "for centuries", perhaps you should take a closer look at them. Metal products can be of any color, including imitation of wood structure.

The sizes of the buffels are chosen taking into account the volume of the room. The smaller the room, the thinner the elements so that the structure does not look too massive. For arranging partitions, you can use thicker and wider slats than for decor on walls or ceilings.

Decorative slats can be installed in almost any room in the apartment. They are even placed in the bathroom, after being pretreated with a moisture-proof compound. Most often, slats are found in modern design directions - loft, minimalism, hi-tech, Scandinavian style, but sometimes they can be seen in a classic interior. Gray and black slats look strict and effective, but it is not necessary to use dark tones. You can choose lighter or even paint the grille elements white, if this fits into the overall color scheme.

Brown shades are quite popular, while preserving the natural appearance of the tree. However, you can use bright colored designs as an accent, especially if the interior is inclined towards eclecticism. You can decorate the wall behind the TV with buffels, combine them with mirrors, making an original frame for these accessories.They are also used in design where wallpaper is present, but this must be done carefully so as not to overload the design.

Reiki can sparkle with new colors in combination with correctly selected lighting, if supplemented with long lamps embedded between the elements. Also, in each room, you can use certain ideas to complement the interior.

This is usually the largest room that performs several functions, so the slats here are suitable for zoning the space. With the help of a partition, you can separate the dining area, if the living room also serves as a dining room, or a place for work.

As for the walls, they usually decorate the one on which the TV is placed, or the opposite one behind the sofa. Do not glue the entire room with slats - it will be too much. Use them as one of the design elements.

Often this small room raises a lot of questions. Most apartments have a small or narrow corridor that is difficult to decorate. Reiki can help with this - position them to visually balance the space. In a long and narrow corridor - horizontally, around the door and on the opposite wall. If the room has a low ceiling, then the vertical placement of the decor will slightly improve the situation.

You can highlight the dining area with slats, fixing them on the wall. Ceiling placement is also a good option, especially if you want to use a lighting system with different fixtures and need to hide the wires. Do not install a decorative grill next to the working area - the tree will quickly deteriorate from temperature changes and it will be difficult to wash all the details.

Quite a popular solution - slats in the headboard... They can be located across the width of the bed or go beyond these limits, only on the wall or on the ceiling too. You can experiment with the options for an interesting visual effect. Also, with the help of rails, you can select a dressing area.

An inexpensive but stylish finish will look good. It is better to place the slats horizontally on the wall.... You can hang flower pots on them and create a small garden on the balcony. Also, with the help of a lattice, you can separate the storage area by making shelves with doors from slats.

In this room, buffels are well suited for zoning to separate the sleeping area, playroom, and the place where the child does his homework. If the room is designed for two children, a partition made of slats will help create a separate personal corner for each of them. In this case, you can hang shelves or lamps on the grill.

Before use, materials must be carefully treated with a special impregnation from moisture. The slats will allow you to separate the shower area from the toilet in a combined bathroom. Also, with their help, you can visually expand a small room.

Beautiful and functional slats are a great option for decoration. They can last up to 20 years and will always delight the eye.
