Modern houses in the Russian style combine centuries-old national traditions in architecture and the latest technologies in construction. In the design of a classic old Russian interior is most appropriate to use natural materials. The main such material is wood.

Traditionally in Russia, wooden houses were built from logs of coniferous trees (pine, larch).

The main features of houses from a bar in the old Russian style include:

• An abundance of carved patterns in the exterior of the home. These are carved wooden window shutters and platbands, porch railing, gable decoration and much more. Designers are ready to offer the author's original sketches of patterns for carving.

• Gable roof with a strong slope.

Natural wood is also used for interior decoration of the house, which makes housing in the neo-Russian style as environmentally friendly as possible.

For the rustic style in the construction and interior design it is undesirable to use red wood. For decoration mainly coniferous trees, oak, birch, ash.

The interior is permissible to complement the natural stone or limestone.

Designers identify three separate areas in the old Russian style:

• "A la rus": in other words - "Russian country";
• "Russian izba";
• "Terem".

Russian country is the most common style of interior design of the old Russian house. A characteristic feature of this trend is the use in the interior of objects of folk art and symbols of ancient Russia.

Log cabin remains the main material in the construction of houses in the classical style. Now the construction of houses from a log has many different directions - Russian, Finnish, Norwegian cutting.

The construction of houses in the Russian style has certain features, for example, round logs, which are interconnected "in a cup" (in other words, in a circle). The elements of the connection in this case are the semicircular grooves. The logs are connected in such a way that their end parts protrude forty centimeters beyond the walls.

Alternatively, the connection logs are also used methods of attachment "in the paw" (without protrusionslogs outside the walls) and "in the olop". The assembly “in the hoof” occurs in the shape of a bowl, but the bowl itself is always turned upside down. In this case, each subsequent log fits into the previous groove.

The choice of interior design will depend only on the preferences of the owner of the house. Designers are ready to make a project of a modern house in the Russian style to suit all tastes and preferences.

An analogue of a large Russian stove in the house can serve as a fireplace, decorated in the national style.

When decorating the walls of the house in the Russian style, the most suitable material is wood. If the house was originally built of timber, then the additional decoration of the walls can not be resorted. The walls of the bar itself will be part of the decor.
