The most common finishing areas include:
- exterior decoration of buildings
- interior decoration
Exterior finishing
1. Building
Wood is regaining its position in construction and decoration. A fairly popular way to build houses is to use rounded logs or timber. For those who do not need construction, but want to improve their home, great solution there will be application facing materials, one of which can be called a planed board.
Using planed boards for cladding a building is a reliable way to hide existing defects, hide communications, and cladding a house after insulation.
2. Floors
Planed boards are suitable for arranging floors on verandas, in bathhouses, summer kitchen, gazebo.
For this type of finishing, you can use a material with a natural moisture level, since operating conditions provide for the effect of moisture on the wood.
When installing the floor, it should be taken into account that it bears a considerable load. Therefore, you should take a responsible approach to choosing the thickness of the board. And also take into account the distances between the foundation bars - lags.

Board is one of the popular materials for flooring. Wood creates certain interior, helps retain heat in the room and serves as a natural air humidifier. The use of planed boards as flooring guarantees a smooth surface.

Wooden ceilings allow you to create the atmosphere of a country house.
The use of planed boards in a continuous ceiling finish will allow you to hide surface unevenness, hide communications, and mount built-in lamps. It also allows you to immediately obtain a finished surface that does not require further finishing.
If the height of the room does not allow you to fully equip wooden ceiling or design project does not provide for this - planed boards are also used as decorative elements.
3. Walls
As a rule, walls are not completely covered with wood. Either one or two walls are decorated, or partial decoration is applied. So, for example, decorating a wall up to half - in the form wall panel- will allow you to give solidity to your study or office space.
Planed board used for interior decoration premises must correspond to a certain level of humidity - within 6-10%.

4. Interior decoration with high humidity(kitchens, baths, saunas)
In view of special conditions use of wood in rooms with high humidity or with changes in humidity - there are no strict requirements for dryness. It is enough to provide the necessary clearances for ventilation. For baths, it is recommended to use linden or aspen wood. These rocks dry well and do not emit resin. Various functional elements of the room can be made from planed boards - benches, doors, etc.
Ceiling finishing
Mankind has been using board wall decoration for more than one century, so it can rightfully be considered a kind of eternal value. Today the use of wood for decoration interior walls is a way to create an aesthetically attractive, yet environmentally friendly and safe interior design for those present.
Finishing specialists distinguish at least five types finishing board for walls. Despite the fact that they have much in common, there are also differences, which in some cases play a decisive role. Before covering the walls with boards, you should understand each of the options.
Lining
In the interior modern homes Among other types of boards, lining is most often found. This is the least expensive wooden one finishing material, which, however, does not deprive it of most of the main advantages of wood finishing. The lining is strong and durable; it is often made with special grooves, which turn the installation procedure into a formality. The material weighs very little, which means it can be used in any conditions. If desired, the finished surface can be painted or coated with colored varnish. Often such a decision is justified because decorative properties linings, especially inexpensive ones, are not too high.
Lining is the most popular material for finishing interior walls and ceilings with wood. The installation is carried out on top of the sheathing, which somewhat complicates the whole procedure, but allows you to hide communications, insulation or additional sound insulation in the resulting void. In general, the characteristics of the lining strongly depend on what type of wood was used for its manufacture.
This material is very reminiscent of lining, as in appearance, as well as in terms of basic performance qualities and installation features. At the same time, imitation timber is relatively rare in the interior, since it is much more often used for exterior finishing walls The visual difference from the lining lies only in the larger width, which inside the room would create an unnecessary effect of reducing the area. However, no one is stopping the consumer from using a board that imitates timber indoors.
Imitation timber is an analogue of lining, which is more often used for facade cladding, but interior decoration with this material creates the feeling of being in a real timber house Some manufacturers initially treat the imitation timber with all the necessary compounds that protect the product from harsh street conditions. If the material is purchased for interior decoration, it may be worth taking a less secure option, because additional protection increases the price of the product, and snow and rain are unlikely to fall on the wall inside the building.
Block house
If you are really looking for a board for, then a block house is perhaps the best you can find. Visually the interior will look natural wooden frame, with the difference that there is no talk of using full-fledged logs. In essence, a block house is a log trunk from which the square core has been removed, leaving only a thin convex layer of wood on the outside, which was formed by cutting the log on four sides.
The block house is made from various types of wood and always has the most natural look. Preference is given to pine or spruce. Installation of the finish in this case will be a little more difficult, so it is advisable to seek the help of specialists. In general, the material is divided into two categories, and for use in the interior, that is, indoors, it is advisable to give preference to category “A”, since it has more smooth surface. The buyer has the opportunity to choose the diameter of the original trunks from which the block house is made.
Planken
Planken is an alternative to the materials described above, the only difference is the absence of a tongue-and-groove connection. It is used both for cladding facades and interior decoration of the house. Individual fragments of material have an oblong shape and are usually used to highlight a wall or some element in the interior. At the edges, it is most often equipped with sharp or rounded chamfers.
Basically, planken is made from pine or larch, which is naturally very resinous, thanks to which it can withstand an almost unlimited amount of moisture.
When installing planken, remember that this material expands easily when high temperatures and humidity, therefore gaps should be provided between individual boards.
Parquet board
Parquet perfectly withstands the high loads constantly placed on the floor, and at the same time looks very aesthetically pleasing - so why not use it for wall decoration? Look at the photo below. Is not it original solution?
Parquet boards on the walls are stylish, original and practical
Few people still do this, but that’s the trick – unusual finish It also allows you to stand out from the homogeneous crowd.
As with any other material of an elongated rectangular shape, the specifics of placement individual fragments allows you to change the perception of the room. If the parquet board is placed vertically, this visually makes the ceiling higher. The diagonal spatial orientation creates a complex geometric impression. For a greater variety of results, you can cover only one wall, or cover only up to a certain height level. You can also combine boards of different shades.
An interesting result is obtained if the parquet on the floor and walls is “directed” in the general direction - then the room seems more elongated and purposefully oriented.
The most natural effect will be obtained if, when creating an interior design, no edged board. This solution is most often used for exterior finishing, because inside it looks rough and even brutal, but on the other hand, this allows you to create a unique design, which in certain situations will also be appropriate. Initially, the material was intended as a lathing for everything that was described above, but today the edged board has firmly entered the arsenal of progressive design ideas.
For finishing, unedged boards are often used in gazebos or buildings for household needs, that is, where some wildness in design seems quite appropriate. They do not refuse this material when decorating the interior to give the home a primitive style. With a lot of effort, unedged boards can be installed without gaps, and then the structure will look as if it was built entirely from untreated wood. The most “wild” option does not even involve removing the bark.
Like any other wood for finishing, an unedged board must be impregnated protective compounds, protecting it from moisture and pests.
What interior styles involve finishing the walls with boards?
Wood fits well into most interior variations and combines well with all popular styles. However, there are styles in which wood paneling walls will look as harmonious as possible:
In modern design realities, unexpected, bold and unusual experiments are possible. There are no rules or restrictions in this direction, and therefore the practice of installing parquet boards on the walls of various rooms arose.
Parquet on the wall
The parquet board on the wall is now not wildness or stupidity, but original design solution. This phenomenon is becoming more and more widespread because it has a number of own characteristics. The main thing in this matter is not to overdo it, forgetting about tastes, styles, proportions and combinations.
Interior ideas
As wall covering parquet makes it possible to solve several problems simultaneously:
- Create a harmonious and unique interior.
- Get a practical, durable and aesthetic coating.
- Visually transform the dimensions and configuration of the room.
- Visually zone areas of the room.
Features of the material indoors
One of the main features of parquet boards is that they are made from natural wood. Thanks to this, the material looks respectable and solid. Polymer laminate is also used to decorate walls, which is also widely used.
Wall decoration with parquet boards: design options in the apartment
There are several design options when decorating walls with parquet boards:
- Across the wall;
- Along;
- In a diagonal direction;
- Over the entire surface of the wall;
- On a separate site;
- Arbitrarily.
Depending on the style of the room, the choice of parquet design may vary, which will merge into a single image with the rest of the room or emphasize its individual parts.
Sheathing on plasterboard walls
In the case where the walls are within the past or current repairs were leveled with plasterboard, then this only plays into the hands and also makes the work easier home handyman. You will need to make a sheathing from wooden slats 20x20 mm, with a distance between the slats of thirty to forty centimeters.
The sheathing under the sheets must be installed level, and therefore it is recommended to use a building level.
The orientation of the parquet and sheathing slats is directed in different directions, that is, they must be perpendicular to each other. If the tiles are placed diagonally, the slats will go in the same direction, but they must be perpendicular to the floorboards.
If only the lower section of the wall is sheathed, then work also begins from below. But if the entire wall is to be sheathed, then the first tile is laid in the upper part. Then the movement is from left to right. In this situation, the same rules for laying parquet as on the floor apply - there is a need to provide technological gap between the walls and the edge of the parquet.
The dies are attached using parquet glue or by driving staples into the corresponding locking joints. If glue is used, it is applied not only to the wall, but also to the back of the dies, using zigzag movements.
As the final stage, the installation of skirting boards and corners is carried out. Thanks to them, technical gaps left in advance are closed, as well as joints with the floor and ceiling.
How to mount on concrete or brick walls
The process of installing concrete or brick walls will be no different from a wall made of plasterboard or chipboard. The main requirement is that the wall must be smooth and free from flaws, defects, and damage.
If it is necessary to mount heavy objects on the wall, a concrete wall partially wins among other options. The most powerful fasteners can be driven into concrete wall, which can withstand heavy loads. For other situations you will need individual approach when choosing the type of fasteners and the method of their location.
Design variations in the bedroom and nursery
In the bedroom and children's room it is better to use parquet panels from the category of dark and restrained shades. For a bedroom, finishing materials on the entire wall is more suitable, since in this room there are unlikely to be areas or elements that need highlighting. But in a children's room, it would be appropriate to use selection or zoning. This can be useful if two children live in the same room.
Examples in the kitchen and living room
At correct selection materials for wall decoration can achieve significant design success. The result also depends on the choice of textiles, furniture, color range and some other factors that are taken into account when decorating a kitchen or living room.
In these rooms, variations in the laying of parquet are of considerable importance. Depending on the expected effect, you can use one of the main options:
- The horizontal arrangement of the panels makes it possible to visually expand the room, which can be important for a kitchen, which is usually small.
- Vertical installation visually increases the height of the ceilings. This trick is best applied to the living room to achieve incredible design solutions.
- Diagonal trim - universal option, which makes it possible to blur the volume and boundaries of the room.
Care
When the coating receives minor damage during installation or operation, they can be repaired using putty or special wax.
Parquet panels are cared for using specialized care products. Follow the correct humidity and temperature ranges as specified by the manufacturer.
Using parquet as a wall covering is an unusual, but original and practical solution. This is an easy-to-install and maintain material that is suitable for a wide range of users.

“We recently bought an apartment in which a large kitchen-living room is covered in wood from floor to ceiling. And now I don’t know how to present it. What colors go with wood (except for the obvious white), what kitchen to choose so that it doesn’t all merge into one whole, what textiles to choose and in general..
It would be great to see a selection dedicated to houses decorated with wood."
I think that this topic is interesting not only to Zhenya, since wood is the most common construction material in Russia. Wood is environmentally friendly and durable, it warm material which can be very attractive. Perhaps the only negative is its prevalence. Classic lining, timber, boards are often used because it is “cheap and cheerful”. This can also affect the perception of the design of the house, even if the decoration was chosen deliberately for other reasons (at least a Moscow region feature). Therefore, I will devote part of today’s analysis to this topic.
Used for finishing different breeds wood: oak, apple, walnut, pine, birch, exotic species. It can be given the appearance of zebrawood, wenge, rosewood, bleached oak, and, if desired, painted. You probably know that when you choose pine, you also choose its texture - along with knots and possible eyes. This will have to be taken into account in future interior design.
In wood finishing, everything is important: from the species and texture to the color, size and shape of the panels. However, you don’t have to stick to just one.
Here is a striking example of combination different textures, colors and shapes of wood:
Wood can be processed in different ways: covered with stain, varnish, decorative protective coating, painted, artificially aged, you can make a typesetting design with it or use carvings...
I'll start with something simple.
Country or country interior:
The texture of the wood can determine the style. So, if all the walls (and, possibly, the ceiling) are decorated with classic lining, I suggest forgetting the standard country house solution interior design - “I made it out of what I had” (in other words, from the unnecessary things I brought into the apartment).
A tree is a self-sufficient background that should not be overloaded. It can be shaded: Natural materials(leather, wicker furniture, stone), complement with homogeneous textiles (of similar texture) and dilute with something bright (floral prints, bright colors).
Izba:
The logs look brutal and noble. Solid wooden furniture will look good in such an interior, forged furniture and accessories.
Aged wood:
A tree that looks old acquires nobility. You can forgive him for chips and cracks.
Whitewashed wood:
A few years ago there was a craze for bleached wood. It really looks great.
For such an interior, you can choose furniture and accessories in a classic style.
Painted wood:
If you are tired of the color of the wood, you can paint it in the same way as wooden furniture.
This interior can be decorated in country style.
Modern interior:
Smooth, neatly fitted boards can be an excellent backdrop for modern interior. I would say that such an interior needs more space.
Light-colored furniture, both white, cream, gray and even light green, will look ideal.
Zoning
Wooden walls can be highlighted by painting part of the walls.
Wooden walls go well with stone and brick:
COLOR SOLUTIONS
When choosing the color of furniture and textiles, you will have to take into account the shade of wood that you have chosen. I recommend choosing natural shades. A few combinations that I think work best are below.
White, creamy, creamy. Bright interior looks lighter and calmer. And even the animal skin doesn’t look scary here:
RED
Red is a strong color. And at the same time, its shades suit most wood shades.
If not many people will like an interior where a lot of red is used...
then interiors where accents are placed in this color are liked by most:
Green is also a very natural color. The most natural thing would be to use ornamental plants:
Green can also be chosen as an accent color when the rest of the interior is in a calm color scheme:
And combine with red:
Gray, blue-black, gray-blue - natural shades stone:
Choose a style and make your apartment or house complete and individual.
IN Lately When it comes to renovating an apartment or house, more and more people are turning to a style of room decoration such as retro or antique finishing.
This style includes a method such as antique plaster or, as it is also called, antique wall painting.
If you want the reflections of ancient times to sparkle in your home, so that the room is made in the spirit of the good old classics, then this finishing option is the most suitable for you. It will help give the room that same effect of antiquity and classic design.
The word “plaster” itself is usually associated with a certain building mass lime mortar, to which sand has been added. It is used for surface leveling and rough finishing. However, this understanding reveals only one side of this concept. Please note that if you add dye and some auxiliary substances to this building mass, you can get most interesting material for creating unique images, in particular antique walls. 
Antique decorative plaster became so called due to the resulting appearance, slightly rough and shabby. This is achieved thanks to the latex included in its composition and a special technique for applying the solution to the walls. The result is a light tint effect in areas of greatest friction.
Antique mixtures are durable and easy to care for The positive aspects of plaster with an antique effect include:
- high strength;
- Possibility of use for interior and exterior work;
- Possibility of use in rooms with high air humidity;
- environmental friendliness of the material;
- fire resistance;
- ease of care.
Application technology
Just like when working with ordinary plaster, before finishing the walls in an antique style, it is necessary to perform preliminary preparation surfaces. It is imperative to level the walls, remove all defects, dents, crevices and cracks.
After that construction vacuum cleaner remove dirt and dust. It is recommended to use a special vacuum cleaner, since construction dust may cause damage household appliance due to entering the engine through the filter.
Be sure to prime the walls Now the dry and clean wall must be primed to improve the adhesion properties of the material to the surface. Typically the primer is applied using a long-nap roller or a wide brush. It is convenient to use a spray bottle to spray liquid for this purpose.
After applying the primer, you must wait until the wall is completely dry before you can begin applying the plaster. As a tool, you can use a brush or a long-haired roller.
The plaster is applied in a circular motion, while in some places you need to apply more pressure so that the effect of antique wear appears. If necessary, you can repeat the layer using a slightly different shade from the first. After this, be sure to let the surface dry. Drying usually takes 8-12 hours.
At the final stage, the wall must be wiped down using a hard sponge or fine sandpaper using a special grater. To give the surface a smooth look and shine, you can cover the walls with shiny wax.
The crackle effect is achieved by applying several layers of paint and varnish Plastering antique walls is the most common way to decorate walls, but it is not the only one. There are cases when craftsmen and designers sheathe walls wooden clapboard. How to achieve the effect of an antique interior here?
Treatment wooden walls antique allows you to create an internal classic atmosphere, with the help of which you can plunge into the times of life of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
Do the aging job wooden element not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
To give wood an antique effect, you will need the following tools and materials:
- axe;
- metal brush;
- hair brush;
- brush;
- sandpaper;
- drill;
- stain, acrylic paint, wax and clear varnish.
With these tools you can achieve the desired result very quickly and you don’t have to wait for the wood to age naturally. The aging effect is achieved by simulating abrasions, cracks and artificial depressions.
Wood aging technology
Using an ax to make small holes in wood Using an ax, potholes should be made on the surface of the lining different sizes in any order along the entire wall. In some places we cut off the corners, not paying attention to the accuracy of the work.
After this, the finished areas must be thoroughly sanded using metal brush. Since the volume of the walls is considerable, a lot of effort is required, you can resort to using a drill with special attachments. Watch a master class on aging wood in this video:
An example of an aged wooden board
During grinding, it is necessary to smooth out all sharp nicks obtained with an ax until the effect of natural damage to the wood occurs. Movements must be performed along the wood fibers. Next, using sandpaper, we remove all protruding chips, while small depressions may form, which will also give our walls the effect of natural aging.
Cover the wood with a dark stain At the next stage of working with antique wood, you should give the light surface a resemblance to a board that has darkened over time. To do this, we treat the lining using a special stain or acrylic paint dark color. After waiting for it to dry completely, sand the surface again with medium-hard sandpaper. You don't have to put in any special effort.
At the final stage, the walls should be waxed or coated with clear varnish and the surface should be allowed to dry.
Antique wall decoration can be done different ways. We looked at such a common option as antique plaster, and a less common option - antique wooden wall finishing. For an example of antique wall decoration, see this video:
Whatever method you choose, retro style will help transform your home and give it an incredible classic design. The work of giving the walls an antique look is not so difficult; even a non-professional can handle it. All that remains is to add furniture elements classic style, and the result will pleasantly surprise you.
