Curtains in a wooden house

The dacha question has always been relevant, and recently there has been an increase in the tendency to complete relocation to the private sector, away from noisy highways and the bustle of big cities. The preference is given to houses from natural materials, and most often this material becomes a tree.

Rising fashion for wooden houses is not surprising and quite understandable. After all, houses made of logs or lumber are eco-friendly, the walls “breathe” in them, and the material itself creates an atmosphere of comfort and warmth sometimes even without internal and external decorative cladding. Wood as a natural material conveys the unique beauty of nature, often does not need additional refining. The naturalness of wooden furniture can not replace any synthetic material.

Wooden interior parts are durable, they are easy to restore and replace. Even in modern cottages made of stone and concrete, preference is given to wooden flooring, ceiling or walls. Wooden window frames are very popular, they are more environmentally friendly than plastic and create additional visual comfort.

At the present stage, the construction of suburban wooden houses is carried out according to individual projects and assumes the presence of spacious premises that require an exquisite design. However, wooden houses “with history” from the old housing stock of villages are sometimes not inferior in beauty and comfort to new-fashioned brethren. Even if you have a small log house in the country, with the right approach to the design (and possibly with some re-equipment) you can turn it into a fabulous corner of nature.

The interior of the wooden house will sparkle with all colors, if you start from the general "woody" style of space in the interior design. The tree itself dictates the colors and decor with natural shades. This does not mean that all the interior should be made of this material.On the contrary, wood is perfectly combined with fabrics, stone and even with metal elements. Most appropriate here will look styles Chalet, Country, Ethno or Provence. Styles are known to be formed from pieces of furniture, wall and floor decor. At a special place is the design of window openings.

Not long ago, a variety of curtains made of special fabric appeared on the Russian market. Blackout. The fabric is made according to the original Finnish technology, the advantages of which are imparting opacity to the material. Such curtains perfectly cope with direct sunlight, suitable for bedrooms located on the south side to prevent overheating of the room and protection from too bright rays.

The choice of this criterion is important, because the interior of a wooden house is different from the usual interior of city apartments. Wooden walls and floors suggest the warm atmosphere of a country house or a respectable chalet. The color range here is diverse, but natural. Electrician and neon colors will not work here, synthetics will look ridiculous and flashy. It should be careful with the elements of decor, intricate ornaments and patterns.

Style Chalet is a modern version of the home of alpine shepherds from a long-forgotten past. Modernity has brought its own unique chic to this interior style, leaving simplicity and elegance.

The style includes elements of Ethno, but with an emphasis not on the nationality, but on the rural life. So, Country can be represented in the form of a Russian hut, Indian hut, American ranch. The main thing is to withstand any one direction, otherwise the interior will turn into a set of unrelated attributes.

In modern houses of timber or log, as a rule, initially designed wide windows, giving a lot of light. Some homes on an exclusive order can boast panoramic windows. But very often it happens that in wooden houses, the windows are so different geometric shapes that it becomes a serious problem to pick up curtains on them:

• In a log house with small windows The main task is the visual increase of this zone. Here light fabrics of dense curtains and a light cloud of tulle curtains will come to the rescue.

• Bevelled, trapezoidal or triangular windows successfully draped in light fabrics of contrasting shades or containing oblique patterns. Curtains for such windows can be purchased to order or sew yourself. Handmade in this case will be a great highlight for the style of Country or Provence.
