Log house interior: photos in rooms, styles, finishes, furniture, textiles and decor

Design features

When decorating a house, the following nuances are taken into account:

• The best option for construction is timber, which is harvested in Karelia or Finland. Due to the low temperature, the tree rings are denser and therefore the logs are very durable.
• Insufficiently large windows will make the atmosphere in the room too oppressive and dark.
• The space should not be overcrowded with unnecessary furniture items, so that the basis of the interior, in the form of walls, floor and ceiling, is not lost against the general background.
• The interior furnishings are thought out to the smallest detail and include only structural elements.
• The main advantage of such an interior is the ability to combine all natural materials and thereby create a natural and harmonious environment.
