Wood and interior styles Automatic translate

Since ancient times, wood has been used for the construction of houses, the manufacture of furniture, and the manufacture of interior elements. This material does not lose its relevance today. The combination of such qualities as strength, aesthetics, ease of processing make wood a popular material in the design of any room. It is appropriate for strict offices, as well as for open verandas or kitchens.

Wood as a material is ubiquitous. In almost all cultures, wood plays an important role in the interior of rooms. Therefore, historically it has happened that elements of natural wood are used in the design of any style of interior, from "country" to "hi-tech." In Russia, which has always been famous for its forests, this material is especially popular.

Universal parts

As you know, floors, windows and doors are in any room, regardless of its style and purpose. For the styles of "country" and "ethno", a somewhat rough boardwalk floor with a pronounced wood pattern, for example, from oak, is ideal.

A wide selection of parquet flooring allows you to choose it for almost any interior. Parquet floors made of fine wood with an elegant pattern look noble and beautiful. However, to fully appreciate them, extensive space and an appropriate interior style are required. Such parquet will look luxurious in the palace, but in small rooms its spectacular appearance is lost.

Specialists of KL-Mebel company note that black-and-white parquet in the form of a chessboard is suitable for the interior in the "modern" style. Popular in Russia, the interior style of the "English classic" also implies the presence of a parquet floor. Preference is given to warm colors and restrained patterns.

Doors are available in the vast majority of rooms. Exceptions are Japanese interiors with sliding walls and open arched entrances. Whatever the style and design of the room, preference is usually given to wooden doors. The interior in a high-tech style is characterized by plastic and glass-metal doors. Solid wood is a fairly expensive material, so chipboard is often used in the manufacture of doors. If you decide to save, you can purchase a door covered with wooden veneer. If you need office doors , the most practical materials will be plastic, aluminum and glass.

Double-glazed windows with wooden frames are currently popular. They cost a lot, especially if the frames are made of high quality larch or oak wood. A certain compromise between price and quality can be found by installing wooden frames only from the side of the room. The outer frames can be plastic, which in our climatic conditions is even preferable.

Antiques fashion also applies to wooden elements of the interior. Ancient doors, parquet, wooden objects with expressive cracks give the room a special atmosphere. Expensive antiques are not available to everyone, but the tree can also be artificially aged by rubbing it with salt.

Living room / study

In the atmosphere of any office there is usually a bookcase and a desk. These items are traditionally made of wood. The use of oak and mahogany (mahogany) sets the tone for a special expensive chic, which is taken into account when choosing the rest of the furniture and decor elements.

Light ash wood with a pronounced texture is well suited for dimly lit cabinets. Ash furniture looks simple and concise. Cherry is a very beautiful material, so interior items made from it always dominate. The classic restraint and sophistication of the interior of the cabinet will give a nut. Its rich range of shades allows you to choose the material for every taste. The beech has a pinkish tint and brings some frivolity, which is not very appropriate in the strict interior of the office. However, for ladies’ offices this material is quite suitable.

Wooden furniture of economy class can be combined. Exterior walls are made from solid wood, and chipboards or plywood are used for internal fittings and rear walls. In order to reduce the cost of production, valuable and less expensive tree species are sometimes combined. The cheapest and most common types of wood in our country are pine, spruce and acacia. In their raw form, they have a not very aesthetic appearance, therefore such wood is often masked as more noble species.

It is very simple to distinguish custom-made furniture made entirely of wood of the same species from combined wood. To do this, just look under the countertop and look at the internal shelves. Natural wood for shelves is usually not covered with anything. Under the painted surface, most likely there will be a chipboard plate. The issuance of cheaper material for the more expensive by veneering can be seen on the corners of the furniture. Even with careful pasting, seams will be visible here. You should know that the untreated wood of the internal elements of the furniture looks somewhat lighter than the outer processed surface. This is especially noticeable in the example of mahogany, which before processing has a pale pink color.

AT living room interior a special place is occupied by a wooden sliding table. During family-wide dinners or at the reception of guests, he is able to turn the living room into a comfortable dining room. When choosing wooden furniture, you should consider its combination with the surrounding interior and with each other. In order not to be mistaken, in the same room you can use furniture of similar shades from the same tree species.

Kitchen / Dining

In Russia, cuisine is the place where all family members gather. Therefore, the interior here should be cozy and warm. The most suitable material for this is wood.

The ideal tree species to make kitchen furniture considered larch. It has unique strength and does not rot in high humidity. Oak, cherry, teak and walnut are also reliable and resistant to external influences. Beech will give a special style and cosiness to the kitchen interior.

Quite often, cheap spruce, pine or acacia wood is used for kitchens. It is disguised as oak, cherry, walnut, beech or stained. In any case, for the kitchen it will be a more suitable option than chipboard and plywood. When using chipboard or plywood in the kitchen, they are specially treated to protect against moisture and temperature extremes.

Children bedroom

In the interior design of a children’s room, KL-Furniture company recommends the use of durable and environmentally friendly materials. Therefore, preference is given to wood. Pine or spruce in its natural form is quite suitable for children’s furniture. Such furniture will be quite durable and inexpensive, that is, it will not be a pity to change it when the children grow up.

For the bedroom, light wood species are well suited - larch, beech, light shades of walnut. Dark furniture or interior details give the space some gloom. Therefore, a redder tree or dark oak is best left for other rooms.

The empire and rococo styles are characterized by carvings, elegant dressing tables, and beautiful dressers. Imitations of cheap rocks very quickly give themselves out by the presence of knots, cracks and general rudeness. Therefore, you can not do without the use of linden. Its pliable and soft wood is able to embody any design decisions.
