Practical materials for decorating a summer cottage

Lining

Another natural and budget material for finishing a country interior. It fits perfectly into the country style and will withstand temperature extremes and humidity. Lining becomes wear-resistant and not subject to decay after applying special compounds. It can be installed on slightly convex or curved walls.

The material can be painted, treated with wood stain, wax or oil, giving the desired natural shade. A more budget option is varnish, but over time it turns yellow. The layout of the elements can be any: rhombus, herringbone, half wall. With the help of the lining, they make out the ceiling or highlight certain areas.

Board

Suitable for both wall decoration and floor cladding. The main difficulty is to choose the material correctly: the boards should not be wet and, conversely, overdried. They look spectacular after processing with protective compounds, give the country house a special charm and fill the atmosphere with coziness. 

For the floor in the country, there are special boards that are laid according to the "thorn-groove" technology. This is the most reliable connection that allows you to create a strong and even floor.

INfashion is still brushed and barn boards, but, despite its aged look, the finished material is quite expensive. To avoid costs, you can process the items yourself.

Logs or block house

If the walls country houses built from logs, try not to cover up the authentic beauty of the wooden walls. A log is a surprisingly durable and reliable material, and after repair it will last for more than a dozen years.

House panels are used for decorative imitation of log walls. Outside, they have a semi-cylindrical shape, fastened with a thorn-groove lock connection. A block house made of wood is used for the interior, and vinyl is used for the facade cladding.

Glass fiber

If you are looking for a more familiar yet durable wall finishing material, fiberglass wallpaper would be ideal. They are often used to decorate public places, as they are resistant to mechanical damage, are not afraid of high humidity, fire and ultraviolet radiation. They also protect the walls from insects and slightly level the surface.

Choosing such glass wallpaper instead of paper or non-woven, you are investing in the future: it will not be difficult to renew the repair, since the coating can be painted several times.

Drywall

It is a sheet of two layers of construction paper and a "filling" of gypsum filler. It is an environmentally friendly material that can be easily assembled with your own hands using glue or screws and metal profiles.

Drywall will allow make the walls and ceiling perfectly flat: after installing the sheets, all that remains is to putty the joints and paint the surface with interior paint.

When finishing, give preference to white, cream and pastel colors: on a light background, retro furniture and multi-colored textiles, often found in the country, will look most expressive.

If there is high humidity in the house, it is recommended to use moisture resistant drywall.

Decorative plaster

The material cannot be called the cheapest, but if you wish, it is not difficult to find compositions that are affordable. Plaster imitates a variety of textures (stone, wood, concrete), and is perfect for finishing even wet rooms.

Resistant to mechanical stress, easily tolerates temperature extremes, which is especially important for a country house. Fans of decorative plaster appreciate its durability and ability to hide minor irregularities.

Ideal for creating an interior in the style of eco, provence, country, chalet.

Linoleum and laminate

These floor coverings require high-quality surface preparation. Most appropriate in houses designed for all-season use. For a country house, it is recommended to choose moisture-resistant sheets laminateresistant to water and condensation.

If your the choice fell on linoleum, it is wiser to purchase a commercial type that has abrasion resistance and is protected from force. In a country house, flooring in natural natural shades will look harmonious.

One of the advantages of a country house is that you can embody the most unusual ideas in its setting. It is here that you can feel the unity with nature and escape from city worries.
