How to cover the ceiling wooden house inside, so that it is beautiful, practical and environmentally friendly - this is not an easy question. Not all types of finishing are compatible with wood, a material with a distinct natural origin. When choosing, you need to focus on the design direction and texture of the walls. If this country style, then beams and imitation logs will go, for a luxurious living room a smooth texture is more appropriate, new technologies fit into the modern interior - tension and suspended structures.
The design of the ceiling of a wooden house has its own specifics. Due to the relatively light beams to which the ceiling elements are attached, wooden walls carry much less load. A heat-insulating ball and vapor barrier are placed between the beams, a rough ceiling is mounted under the insulation, and half an attic or upper floor is installed on top.
Slat and beam ceiling trim
Rough ceiling - the basis for decoration
The initial stage of finishing the ceiling in a wooden house involves the construction of a rough ceiling. For its manufacture, a beam is used, which is installed on the edge. By reducing the installation step, this method strengthens the entire ceiling structure.
Using nails, they are secured to the sides of the beams. cranial bars. They will be the basis of the surface of the rough ceiling. For the covering, it is necessary to prepare boards by cutting them to the required sizes. Their length should be slightly less than the distance between the beams. The finished boards need to be laid out so that a perfectly even coating is obtained.
Before hemming the ceiling wooden beams, you need to treat with antiseptics that protect the wood from pests, fungus, and mold.
Rough ceiling
Design and selection of material for vapor barrier
In order to limit the penetration of steam from the room into the insulation, a vapor barrier ball is installed. The lack of moisture does not allow mold and fungi to develop in the wooden part of the ceiling.
There are different types of vapor barrier films:
- Polyethylene standard vapor barrier film. Serves to prevent the formation of condensation.
- Foil vapor barrier with improved insulating properties and reflective heat. This film is best used in conditions of high humidity.
- The membrane film controls the amount of humid air leaving the room.
- Membrane film with variable vapor permeability. The higher the humidity in the room, the greater the insulation throughput.
Vapor barrier layer in the ceiling pie
The vapor barrier film is first rolled out on the surface, after which its edges are rolled up and secured. The ends of the material should overlap. If the film rests on elements of the ceiling or other assembly, it cannot be cut. In this case, they bend and fasten.
Thermal insulation layer to save resources
It is necessary to insulate the ceilings in a wooden house. It has been proven that up to 30% of heat loss occurs through cracks in ceilings. For this purpose, you can use different thermal insulation materials:
- Mineral wool. This one is universal fibrous material made from mineral raw materials. Its advantage is that it does not burn.
- Ecowool. Insulation made from cellulose and other non-volatile substances. Does not rot, does not support combustion, has good insulating properties.
- Granular insulation. Its components are sawdust, antiseptic and glue. With good thermal insulation properties, it is inferior in terms of sound insulation.
- Styrofoam. Inexpensive and lightweight material that can be easily and quickly installed. The disadvantage is that it supports combustion, mice often breed in it, and over time the foam can crumble.
- Expanded clay. Made from clay. This porous material has high fire resistance and increased sound insulation.
Ceiling insulation
The thermal insulation ball is mounted on top of the vapor barrier film. The insulation should tightly fill the entire space between the beams. To do this, the insulation in the slabs is cut, but not to size, but 2-4 cm larger than the interblock distance. The mineral wool is laid end-to-end, and a small gap is left between the foam balls, which needs to be filled with polyurethane foam.
Methods of covering ceilings for finishing
After the installation of the rough ceiling, vapor barrier and insulation has been carried out, you can begin cladding. It is difficult to give a definite answer to the question of which ceiling is better in a wooden house - there are many finishing options. The final choice depends on the interior design style of the house itself. The main types of ceilings are suspended and suspended. But recently there has been a tendency for owners to decline wooden houses to suspended types of ceilings made of film and fabric.
With the help of false and suspended ceilings you can quickly, beautifully and reliably give your interior a finished look. Basically, in a wooden house, wood is used for this purpose. But other materials also have a right to life.
The scheme is quite simple. First, a frame is assembled onto which the covering parts are attached, making up a solid pattern. The designs differ only in the presence of a suspension. The hemmed option involves the use of a frame that is rigidly attached to the rough floor.
Laminate ceiling
Sheathing with boards or clapboards - design options and installation technology
Before making a ceiling in a private house, please note that for covering it in a wooden building it is better to choose a board, wooden lining or MDF. Plastic panels in in this case will be inappropriate. For original design You can choose laminate, but a block house looks great in a house made of timber.
The appeal of choosing wood finishes
Advantages:
- Environmentally friendly. The panels, like the boards for the ceiling in the house, are made from wood material without the use of resins and harmful phenol.
- Design. The color, texture and width of the cladding can be selected for each specific interior.
- Water resistance. The material is not afraid of moisture, which makes it possible to install it in bathrooms, saunas, and kitchens.
- Easy care. To clean the lining, simply wipe it with a damp cloth without using cleaning agents.
- Functionality. All necessary communications can be easily placed inside the structure of such a ceiling.
Finishing option
DIY installation instructions
Technologically, the installation process is practically the same and includes several stages:
- The last plank needs to be cut not only in length, but also in width, not forgetting to leave gaps from the walls. In addition, it must be secured in the same way as the first.
- Holes for spotlights can be made before or after installing the panels on the ceiling.
- Final finishing work includes the installation of lamps and plinths, the function of which is to embellish the interior of the room, as well as hide the seams between the ceiling and the wall. If desired, the material can be coated with colorless varnish.
Ceiling made of lining
Plywood sheathing is an economical choice
Question: how to make ceilings in a house can be solved by using ordinary or waterproof plywood as a material for filing.
Plywood looks decent
Advantages of plywood for ceiling finishing
This product has several advantages:
- Naturalness. The natural components of plywood create a favorable indoor climate, filling it with the aroma of wood.
- Light weight. The sheets will not create loads on the base.
- Moisture resistance. Treated plywood performs well in conditions of high humidity.
- Price. Plywood ceilings in a wooden house are an order of magnitude lower than most other options.
- Strength. Thanks to its multi-layer structure, plywood has a greater degree of strength.
Plywood is based on wood
From obvious shortcomings Only two can be distinguished: the material supports combustion and is afraid of water.
Two technologies for installing plywood sheathing
Installation of plywood on the ceiling in a wooden house is done on a wooden sheathing made of bars. For cladding, sheets with a thickness of 4-8 mm are used. Thin sheets can be installed with glue, thicker ones can be nailed to the frame or screwed with self-tapping screws.
FK plywood is considered the most environmentally friendly. It has virtually no harmful substances, and the binder between the layers is urea glue. Let's consider both options for attaching plywood sheets to the base.
Mechanical installation:
- During primary fixation, the slab is placed in the middle of the block and secured in one place.
- After this, the plywood is aligned with other bars and finally secured.
- For installation, nails are used, the length of which is twice the thickness of the sheet.
- If self-tapping screws are used, holes must be drilled for them before screwing them into the panels.
- Fastening is carried out in increments of 15-25 cm, and in the middle of the sheet - 25-45 cm. In this case, you need to retreat from the edge by at least 1 cm.
- Between adjacent sheets, as well as at the walls, it is necessary to leave a compensation gap of 2-3 mm.
View before finishing
Gluing plywood:
- The sheets are cut into 2-3 parts
- Glue is applied to the plywood and leveled notched trowel.
- After this, the panels are fixed to the base and pressed tightly for 1 minute.
- It is important not to forget about the compensation gap.
- For gluing to a wooden base, you can use PVA glue.
Plywood ceiling
Before hemming the ceiling in a private house, the plywood must be kept in the room for at least two days. For cutting plywood a jigsaw will do, hand-held circular saw or fine-tooth hacksaw.
Finishing - installing the plinth between the ceiling and the wall, as well as hiding it with wooden slats gaps between sheets, if they are very noticeable. The ceiling can be varnished.

Practical and quick plasterboard covering
Plasterboard ceilings are most relevant when it is necessary to level a very uneven surface. There are two main ways to attach drywall in a wooden house: on a wooden base made of bars and on a traditional metal frame.
Drywall in a timber house
Features of installation on a wooden frame
A wooden frame for plasterboard is more suitable if the task is to create a simple single-level ceiling. At the same time, various types of imperfections are perfectly hidden without losing the height of the room. But you need to remember that for such a frame you can only use well-dried wood High Quality.
Procedure:
- First, you should determine the lowest point of the base, step back 5 cm from it and, using a level, draw along the perimeter of the room horizontal line.
- After that, along this horizontal line in a circle, fasten the slats and bars along the length of the room in increments of 80 cm.
- Attach supporting strips perpendicularly to them in increments of 50 cm, which will become the basis for the drywall.
Sheathing technology on a metal frame
A metal frame for attaching drywall is more reliable. Its design includes guide profiles that hold the ceiling frame, and rack profiles to which the plasterboard sheet is mounted.
Installation order:
- By analogy with a wooden frame, the ceiling level is set and guide profiles are attached around the perimeter using self-tapping screws or dowels.
- A guide profile is attached to them in increments of 40 cm.
- The entire structure is fastened with self-tapping screws.
- To increase rigidity you need to use suspensions.
- If you plan to install a chandelier or lampshade to illuminate a room in the future, it is advisable to install mortgages that will hold the lamp. For this purpose, several rack profiles need to be attached to the frame in place of the lighting fixture.
Combination of drywall and wood
Installation plasterboard sheets begins with marking the drywall according to the size of the room and cutting it out. The plates are attached to the frame with self-tapping screws every 25 cm. In this case, their heads are slightly recessed into the panels. A sickle mesh is glued to the joints between the sheets, after which the drywall is primed, puttyed and painted.
Modern design
Fashionable and stylish ceiling with beams
Ceilings with beams in a private home help decorate the interior with clear lines. This type of cladding can be done using beams made of natural wood or decorative beams, or, as they are also called, false beams. Both options have a number of advantages - ease of installation, natural origin, attractive appearance.
A hint of country
On initial stage During installation, a tracer cord is stretched, with the help of which the degree of horizontality of the ceiling and frame is checked. The quality of assembly of the finished ceiling depends on this.
As for the installation itself, in the case of wooden beams everything is quite simple: they are nailed or screwed with long screws to a ready-made base.
Combination of beams with lining
With false beams it’s a little more complicated. First, the frame is made. To do this, you can use a metal profile or a wooden beam. The second option makes it a little easier to attach the false beam. TO finished frame can already be attached decorative beams.
They are screwed to metal profiles with self-tapping screws, and to wooden beams they are nailed with finishing nails. If the beam does not adhere tightly to the ceiling, wedges can be placed under it, and fastening can be done with longer self-tapping screws.
Ceiling with false beams
Modern types of suspended ceilings
The problem of how best to hem the ceiling in a private house can be solved with the help of stretch ceilings. They come in film and fabric, look good, fit perfectly into a wooden interior, are easy to install and easy to maintain. In addition, the film and fabric are not deformable when the house shrinks. It is easy to hide communications above them, they are environmentally friendly, and the version with fabric has a “breathable” effect.
Stretch ceiling in a wooden house
Practical film decor
Installation of the tension film should begin with the installation of the fastening profile. To do this, use a level to apply markings around the entire perimeter of the room. The profile or baguette is glued along the marked line to the wall. When the glue hardens, it is recommended to additionally secure the fastening element with self-tapping screws. Immediately mark the locations of lamps and communications.
Stretch ceiling system
Installation of glossy film involves the use of a heat gun. At the initial stage, the canvas needs to be secured in the corners of the room, after which the temperature in the room should be raised to 40-50º with a cannon. After this, gradually moving across the entire material with a heat gun, place the edges of the film in the baguette and securely fix it. When the ceiling has already been stretched, it needs to be given time to cool and take shape, then cut off the excess corners.
Glossy surface makes the room taller
The matte stretch ceiling is stretched manually and fixed in a baguette in the direction from the center of the walls to the corners. After this, excess material is removed. The final stage is the installation of lamps in accordance with the previously carried out markings.
Textiles for ceiling decoration
Textile ceilings for the elite
Textiles, unlike PVC film, have the inherent property of “breathing”. In addition, the fabrics are very durable and retain their shape well. Another advantage is the width of the fabric panels; they are much wider than their film competitors, which allows for seamless coverage in large rooms.
The installation process is similar to the method of installing matte film. The differences are that the fabric is initially secured in the baguette in the center and then towards the corners every 50-60 cm, after which, to avoid wrinkles, it is evenly stretched over the edges. The corners in the profile are fixed last.
Regardless of whether you choose a wooden ceiling or a ceiling made of another material, the main thing is that it fits harmoniously into the interior and becomes a real decoration of your home.
Wooden ceiling in the interior - relevant and stylish solution. Wood lends itself well to processing, which allows you to realize any extraordinary design ideas. A wooden ceiling covering can be deliberately simple and even rough, or it can amaze with its luxury and sophistication. The material, taking into account the shape, color and style of specific finishing elements, will be appropriate in both classic and modern and even futuristic interiors. Therefore, today the wooden ceiling is again at the peak of its popularity. But this is not the only reason for its popularity.
Features of a wooden ceiling
Its main advantage in the eyes of designers and consumers of their services is environmental friendliness and safety. Fed up with newfangled synthetic materials people are returning again to the “well forgotten”, but such a solid and proven “old”. Moreover, modern means for wood processing, they allow you to forget about such troubles as accidental fire, bark beetle attacks, excessive moisture saturation and rotting. The tree is saturated with essential oils, famous for their healing properties. Once in the atmosphere of the room, their components have a beneficial effect on the health of the inhabitants of the house.
The natural ability of the material to absorb excess moisture and release it back during the dry period ensures the maintenance of an optimal microclimate. No less attractive characteristics of wood is its ability to heat and sound insulate. And thanks to the long service life wood covering more profitable than most known variants finishing.
Types of wooden ceilings
The variety of materials for constructing wood ceiling coverings is impressive. We list the main types of finishes in this category, presented:
| Wooden panels | A variety of slatted and sheet typesetting elements. Luxurious and strict, for any interior and financial capabilities. |
| Lining | Democratic and universal material, which is also suitable for simple outbuildings - baths, well houses, woodsheds and for cozy offices, front rooms or living rooms. |
| Cladding slabs | Finished from simple and reliable materials, presented in various designs. |
| Plywood | An affordable coating that opens up wide possibilities for its use in a wide variety of rooms. |
| Wooden wallpaper | Covered with a layer of wood, they retain all its properties. |
Wooden panels
The main advantage of the panels is ease of installation. This work can be done with your own hands. Individual fragments are attached to the sheathing with nails or clamps, or fixed directly to the ceiling with glue. If replacement is necessary, the ceiling elements can be easily removed. There is no need to dismantle the entire coating.
The shape of the products is varied. They are produced in the form of slats, sheets and square typesetting elements. The panels allow you to perfectly disguise electrical wiring. Therefore, all possible lighting scenarios are allowed. There is also no difficulty in installing absolutely any lamps into a plank ceiling.
Based on the production method, there are two main groups of wooden panels. These are the products:
- from the array valuable species. The wood used for production is oak, maple, beech, and alder. To emphasize the natural beauty of natural boards, the panels are treated with special mastics. They make natural fibers brighter and more distinct, thanks to which the natural texture of wood is clearly drawn and becomes more picturesque and impressive;
- from several layers joined together. The upper decorative layer is made of valuable species, and the lower layers are made of coniferous trees.
Ceilings in living rooms luxury houses often decorated luxury panels with beautiful embossing and gilded carvings. They are coated with compounds that give an expressive glossy shine and shimmer.
Lining
The most common area of application of the material is the finishing of steam rooms, terraces, balconies, and country houses. But nothing prevents you from making a ceiling covering in your apartment from it - if the designer’s idea requires it. Initially untreated boards can be impregnated with stain desired color, paint or simply varnish to preserve the natural grain pattern of the wood.
There are several categories of lining, depending on its quality:
To avoid installation problems, it is very important when choosing a lining to carefully inspect the tongue-and-groove joints for integrity.
Cladding slabs
Products are formed by combining crushed wood with an adhesive component.
Product options:
Plywood
When deciding on the material for the ceiling covering, it rarely occurs to anyone to use plywood for these purposes. And completely in vain. Using this material you can create a beautiful, and most importantly unusual and exclusive ceiling.
Plywood is a material consisting of several layers of veneer, each of which is applied perpendicular to the previous one. First, the core is made from softwood. Subsequently, maple, birch or alder veneer is glued onto it on both sides. For the elite variety, beech is used.
The material differs in the following indicators:
- the number of layers may vary. They produce three-, five-layer, and multi-layer versions of the material;
- according to manufacturing materials;
- in terms of moisture resistance - standard, with increased protection from moisture, laminated with a high level of resistance;
- type of processing - with a polished surface and untreated.
Unsanded elements are perfect for country house or outbuilding. If you plan to use plywood to finish the ceiling of a corridor in a private house or the living room of a mansion, you should give preference to polished elite class plates. Picturesque panels with colorful patterns will become a bright and unique decoration of the room.
Wood wallpaper
They help to recreate a special atmosphere of natural comfort at home. There are several types of materials in this category. They are divided into groups depending on the raw material and the method of its processing.
Types of wallpaper with a wooden surface:
- Composite panels made of narrow wooden planks, the thickness of which does not exceed 2 cm. Their cost depends on the value of the wood used;
- Veneered – a thin layer of natural wood 3 mm thick, glued to a paper base. May have a carved and inlaid decorative surface;
- Cork - a coating of crushed cork tree bark is applied to paper. In order to protect the material from odors and exposure to chemicals, the top is covered with a thin layer of wax. Wallpaper is produced in the form of slabs and rolls of 10 m. Roll products are not impregnated and can be painted in any color;
- Materials made from thermally treated wood. The technological process gives the raw materials improved qualities - their resistance to fire, mechanical damage, and moisture increases. TMD wallpaper belongs to the washable category. A variety of tree species are used in their production. For finished products Characteristic marble color.
Rolled materials on a paper or non-woven backing are a worthy alternative to expensive typesetting elements. They are fixed with glue directly to the ceiling. There is no need to build a sheathing or spend money on additional materials.
The base on which the wallpaper will be pasted must be level, so if there are large differences and deep cracks in the ceiling, they must be eliminated with plaster.
Ceiling fillet
The final “chord” when arranging a wooden ceiling is undoubtedly the fillet. So called ceiling plinth, which carries several functions at once. He helps:
- hide irregularities and defects at the junction of the main covering with the wall;
- create an elegant frame. The fillet outlines the contour of the ceiling, placing it in a spectacular frame, like a painting, and gives it a complete and expressive look;
- close the cracks, hide the wiring and protruding elements of the sheathing.
For each interior solution, you can choose the appropriate baguettes. For the classics - pompous - gilded, carved, for the modern version - laconic, seasoned, not flashy.
False beams
Wooden hollow beams give the room a special touch. They bring rustic simplicity and comfort to city apartments country house. Thanks to them, it is possible to solve several design problems at once:
- visually “pull back” the ceiling;
- “pull” the room in the direction of the beams;
- zone the room;
- create lines that clearly contrast with the background of the ceiling, harmonizing with the plinth, platbands and other elements of the furnishings;
- place electrical wiring in the cavities, fix lamps and develop a non-trivial lighting scenario.
The varied shapes of the hollow beams make it possible to ideally conceal pipes and cables.
When making false beams from natural wood with your own hands, you should take into account that during the drying process, the seam connecting the individual slats may separate and become noticeable.
Wood colors
When choosing the color of a wooden ceiling, you should focus on the overall color scheme premises. The coating must fit into the interior and look harmonious in it. Finishing in dark shades is appropriate in good lighting in a room with high ceilings. In the opposite situation, it is better to choose light materials that will visually push back the ceiling and make it airy and unobtrusive.
When deciding on a color, it should be taken into account that when exposed to sunlight wooden elements may darken.
What styles would be appropriate?
Wooden ceiling decoration is ideal for houses designed in a rustic spirit; it is no less relevant for classics. But specifically for country styles, “ Hunting lodge"and chalets like ceilings are an integral and required element. The first two welcome rough, unprocessed textures, giving the entire ensemble the most natural look.
A large number of beams under the roof are characteristic of the chalet style, which has absorbed the features of a rustic Swiss house. But if desired, wooden elements can harmoniously fit into almost every room. It all depends on the specific materials and imagination of the design author.
Wooden ceilings will add extraordinary comfort and originality to any home. In combination with appropriate decorative elements, this coating will look great.
Arrangement of the ceiling inside wooden house can be performed in different ways. Modern finishing materials do not limit imagination and make it possible to realize the most bold ideas. It is very important that the design matches the design. To achieve this, the material is modernized and improved, but there are those who prefer not to change anything in the log house. This approach will preserve the original appearance and convey natural beauty finishing.
Wood is rightfully considered a classic construction and finishing material. Antique interiors with a modern interpretation only prove this statement. With its help, not only ceilings are decorated, but also floors, furniture, doors, etc.
In a wooden house, the ceiling can be made using one or more of the following materials:
- Linings;
- Plywood;
- Drywall;
- Block house;
- Board or batten;
- PVC film.
Some craftsmen practice using laminate for ceiling cladding. You can decorate the space in different ways, for example, leaving some of the beams uncovered. In a situation where sanding the material will take a lot of time, and it is not available, a ceiling lining is made, on which false beams are installed.
When the space is decorated with your own hands, and there is not enough experience in this area, you can leave the tree as it is, but apply varnish coating(painting in colors that imitate different breeds is also acceptable). Also in such a house you can line the ceiling with a special fabric.
Which ceilings are better in a wooden house: advantages and disadvantages of materials
If you approach the choice of ceiling responsibly, you can understand that there are not so many suitable materials with which to cover the top of the room. The fact is that the owner is surrounded by pure, natural wood, and in such conditions most options for standard finishing materials cannot be used. This nuance should be taken into account even before construction of the house begins, because the budget for its design will be higher than for a brick building.
You can sew up the ceiling in a wooden house using several materials:
- Use film, that is, install a tensioner. You should be careful here, because in some cases there is a possibility of ruining the interior. The method is ideal for bathroom interiors, due to the humid environment and the high likelihood of bacteria and mold accumulating on the wood.
- Cover with plastic panels. The material must be of high quality and expensive; ordinary white is not suitable. Ideally, its surface should become an exact imitation of natural wood, which will allow it to fit harmoniously into the interior.
- Close MDF panels. An improved version of the previous design method, but it is worth remembering that such a ceiling is afraid of water, which means the waterproofing must be at the highest level.
- Natural wood paneling. The perfect solution, applicable in both new and old houses.
Craftsmen are clearly against the use of drywall. This material deforms very quickly during the shrinkage of the structure. In any case, the finishing in the house should be chosen taking into account all the features of the structure and climate.
Ceiling repair in a wooden house: necessary tools and subtleties of the process
Recently, there are more and more ecological houses. Some of them are completely new, but there are those that last a very long time. Owners who have lived in a wooden structure for many years may need to make repairs to the ceiling or want to change its design.
To solve the problem yourself, you need to make sure you have the following tools:
- Hammer;
- Roulette;
- Drill (better if it is electric);
- Construction level (will help level the ceiling);
- Hacksaw;
- Roulette;
- Putty knife.
The first step is to remove the old coating or parts of it and inspect it wooden frame. If necessary, it must be replaced, raised or lowered. When materials such as lining or plastic panels, then laying should be done in a diagonal direction, no straight lines. If you do the repairs this way, you will be able to disguise the nails and, accordingly, you will be able to maintain an attractive appearance.
Also, craftsmen who plan to strengthen or replace the ceiling in a wooden house with their own hands need to remember about the wiring. A plan for its installation is drawn up before work begins, so you should clearly understand what the owner wants to see in the final result, as well as where beautiful chandeliers and original lamps will be placed.
If repairs are carried out in an old village house with stove heating, the process requires special attention. There is no need to start right away from the ceiling; we reconstruct the entire structure, starting with the foundation, then level the walls and give time for strengthening. Only after these steps can you work with the ceiling. If the height of the building does not allow it, then thermal insulation should be done from the attic side, and the finishing should be done, naturally, inside the house. Of course, there will still be space between the beams and it should be filled properly. Expanded clay can be used for this purpose. It needs to be filled in, then screeded and the covering installed.
How to insulate a ceiling in a wooden house
The first thing to remember when internal insulation The height of the room always decreases. Even in situations where work is being done on the attic floor, you will also have to screed and lay down flooring. Otherwise, the bottom of the room will be cold, especially if there is emptiness under the house.
When choosing rough and base materials for insulation, it is better to focus on the following qualities of the material:
- How long will it last;
- What is its strength?
- Is it harmful to health and the environment;
- Does it completely absorb noise?
- Does it have thermal insulating abilities?
The more qualities the selected material combines, the better the final result will be.
Based on this list, you can make a warm ceiling:
- Using mineral wool or glass wool;
- Using polyurethane foam and polystyrene foam;
- Filling with sawdust or expanded clay.
The last option is not only the easiest to implement, but also cost-effective. Therefore, most craftsmen and owners of wooden houses choose it.
Ceiling options in a wooden house: design ideas for design and layout
At correct design The ceiling of the room can be given any character: strict, gentle, elegant, luxurious, discreet or cozy. Depending on which room of the wooden house you plan to decorate the surface in, taking into account its style and functional load, a wide variety of finishing materials are selected.
Listening to the ideas of designers, you can pay attention to the following options:
- Coat the wooden elements of the ceiling with tinting or clear varnish. In this way, you can subtly emphasize your own color and texture of the material, as well as place accents on other finishing elements.
- Decorate with compositions or wooden structures. Thanks to their pliable texture, natural materials are easy to process. It is not necessary to clean beams and slats of knots or remove stains, the main thing is to skillfully play with them and make them design elements.
- Choose the color of finishing materials depending on the size of the room. If the room being designed has a sufficient number square meters, then you can use dark elements with complete confidence: dark wood, panels and suspended ceilings. However, if the area is small, then the ceiling must be light, which will visually expand the space. In addition to eco-friendly interior You can hang your favorite photographs in wooden frames on the walls.
- Full ceiling decoration with wood. Most best option, which not only looks stylish and expensive, but also makes it easy to hide ventilation and technological holes and wiring.
Of course, this list can be continued indefinitely, depending on which material is chosen as the main one, the design of the wooden house will be complemented. Also, do not forget that the finishing options for the ceilings of the first and second floors may differ, so you should not limit yourself.
Selection of lighting for the ceiling in a wooden house
One can debate this issue for as long as one can discuss the selection of ceiling design options in a wooden house. Before choosing lighting, you should clearly determine for what purpose a particular device is installed and what tasks it should perform. Be sure to take into account the type of room (kitchen, bath, bedroom, living room) and the height of the room. For example, it is unacceptable to choose huge chandeliers in low houses.
The main lighting options in a wooden house are presented in the following list:
- Lighting fixtures with fabric elements, including table lamps, sconces and floor lamps;
- Chandeliers with ceramics;
- Built-in reflector lamps;
- Bus systems of vertical and horizontal direction.
In modern design the role lighting fixtures is not only about filling the space with light. They are part of the interior, emphasizing the character of the room and the taste of the owner. They can also be used to enlarge or zone the space.
How to make a ceiling in a wooden house (video)
How to cover the ceiling in a wooden house inside should be decided by everyone for themselves individually. In most cases, it is better to listen to own desires, mood and attitude towards home. Acting according to such a system, the final result will bring only pleasure and satisfaction.
The ceiling structure in a wooden house most often represents a kind of “pie” of two outer layers of sheathing, fixed to the attic floor beams, between which one of the types of insulation is laid. Them no less In addition to this system, there are other ceiling designs.
How to make a ceiling in a wooden house correctly to avoid heat leakage from the premises and prevent cold air from entering from the attic? This question faces every owner of such buildings. Besides this, no less important point is and interior decoration ceiling, since the appearance of the entire interior will depend on its appearance. Therefore, you need to consider whether the surface will be additionally sheathed with decorative material.
But first, you need to consider in detail the main structure, its installation, as well as all the materials necessary for it.
Any wooden structure is covered with beams, which are the basis for cladding the ceiling and floor of the attic or second floor of the building. There are three main ceiling designs: suspended, panel and deck.
false ceiling
The shear structure diagram looks like this:
1 – hemmed ceiling boards;
2 – floor beam;
3 – rolling casing;
4 – insulation material;
5 – vapor barrier film.
- It is most convenient to carry out installation, starting with attaching the vapor barrier film to the floor beams on the side of the premises. It is stretched and nailed to the beams with staples using a stapler. The vapor barrier sheets are overlapped with each other by 100 ÷ 150 mm and, after being secured to the beams, they are glued together using construction waterproof tape.
The vapor barrier can also be laid after the bottom filing is completed, then the film will cover not only the boards fixed below, but also the floor beams. This is especially convenient if fine-grained expanded clay is used as insulation. If this option for laying insulation is chosen, it is carried out from the attic side.
- Ceiling boards are mounted on top of the film. Often, instead of boards, particle boards (chipboards or better - OSB) or plywood with a thickness of at least 10 mm are used.
The filing is selected depending on what decorative ceiling covering should be fixed on top of it. It should be noted that when choosing a decorative finish in the form of wooden lining, it is used for lining the ceiling, without pre-installation sheet material or boards.
- Further, the work is carried out from the attic side, but before carrying it out, it is necessary to take care of safety. Since under no circumstances should you step on the sheathing boards, you need to lay a temporary boardwalk perpendicular to the floor beams and you can only walk on it during work, periodically shifting it to the required distance.
- Between the floor beams, insulation is laid or poured onto the vapor barrier film. The choice of this material will be discussed below.
- If you choose rolled insulation produced in mats or backfill dry material, then it is recommended to cover it on top with a waterproofing film, which can be thick polyethylene or roofing felt. It is secured with brackets to the floor beams.
- Rolled sheathing is laid on top of the insulation and waterproofing, which will serve as the floor of the attic.
Another way of installing all the components is to carry out the entire process from the attic, but it is not only uncomfortable, but also extremely dangerous, since To The hemming has to be carried out in an awkward position. If this method of work is chosen, then a temporary boardwalk made of strong, thick boards that can withstand the weight of the master must also be laid.
Flat ceiling
A flat ceiling differs from a suspended ceiling in the absence of floor beams when installed in a room. If the rooms are small, no more than 2500 mm wide, and each of them will be covered separately, then such a ceiling design is quite suitable for its installation.
- In this case, the ceiling boards are fixed on the load-bearing walls of the building or on a beam nailed to the walls along the perimeter of the room at a distance of 120 ÷ 150 mm from their top.
- You need to choose boards for the floor ceiling that are thick enough - at least 50 mm, since the insulation and parts that form the attic floor will be mounted on them.
It should be taken into account that if the boards are installed on timber, it is recommended to lay it on brackets made of reinforcing rods driven into the wall, and additionally secure it with nails or self-tapping screws.
It is advisable to choose lining for the flooring, which is connected using special grooves.
- Next, from the side attic space the boards are covered with a vapor barrier.
- An insulating material is laid on top of the film, which is covered with a waterproofing film, secured to the walls with staples.
- Then, on another row of fixed timber or on load-bearing walls plank flooring is laid - attic floor.
Panel ceiling
This ceiling consists of individual panels combined into one structure. Most often, panels made on the floor are lifted and laid on supporting beams, and then connected to each other.
Each panel consists of the following elements:
- A box or shield made of two beams and boards.
The timber is installed like a log, at such a distance from each other that the internal distance between them is 600 mm. This width is considered optimal, since most insulation materials made in mats have it.
- Then a vapor barrier film is laid in the resulting box.
- Insulation is laid on top of it, which is covered with waterproofing. It is secured to the side bars.
In this form, the panel is lifted onto the floor beams. If you make ready-made blocks small size, then it will be easy to raise them to a height, and then combine them into a solid structure with upper plank cladding.
- When fastening individual panels from the side of the beams, insulation material should be laid between them to close the “bridges” of cold penetration.
It should be noted that some craftsmen prefer to assemble panels at a height, immediately along the entire length or width of the room, since it is not possible to lift it entirely due to its rather large weight.

Thermal insulation materials for ceiling insulation
It is very important to choose the right insulation material, since not only the warmth in the house, but also the safety of the residents will depend on this. If the wood can be processed independently flame retardant impregnations, then when choosing insulation, you should immediately pay attention to the marking on its flammability class, which should be placed on the packaging.
Criterias of choice
When purchasing insulation material, you need to focus on the following criteria:
- Low thermal conductivity.
- Moderate density.
- Low hygroscopicity, i.e. the material should absorb moisture minimally.
- Minimum flammability, which is indicated on the packaging in letters and numbers:
— NG – non-flammable material;
— G 1 — low flammability;
— G 2 — moderate flammability;
— G 3 — medium flammability;
- G 4 - highly flammable.
- It is equally important to pay attention to the ability to smoke formation when smoldering insulation, since smoke can be as dangerous as fire. This parameter has designations from D1 to D3, respectively - low, medium and high smoke generation.
- Another parameter related to fire safety is flame spread. RP 1 ÷ RP4. The speed of fire spread is classified according to the same principle as the first two parameters - from low (1) to high (4).
- The environmental friendliness of the insulation - it should not immediately or over time emit fumes hazardous to humans into the environment.
- Easy and quick installation.
Durability of the material without loss of its performance qualities.
Soundproofing properties - ability suppress external noise (for example, sounds heavy rain or hail knocking on the roof), maintain silence in the house.
The table shows the main physical and technical parameters of the most commonly used insulation materials:
| Materials | Thermal conductivity coefficient, W/m×°С | Thickness in mm is appropriate.R=1.2 m²×°C/W | Density kg/m³ | Operating temperature, °C | Vapor permeability Mg/(m×h×Pa) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyurethane foam | 0,025 | 30 | 40÷60 | -100 to +150 | 0.04÷0.05 |
| 0,07 | 36 | 30÷-45 | From - 50 to +75 | 0,14 | |
| Polyethylene foam | 0,045 | 56 | 35 | -60 to +90 | 0,1 |
| Styrofoam | 0.03 | 60 | 40÷125 | -50 to +75 | 0.23 |
| Stone wool | 0,047 | 56 | 35÷150 | -60 to +180 | 0.53 |
| Glass wool | 0,056 | 67 | 15÷100 | -60 to +480 | 0.53 |
It makes sense to briefly consider the additional characteristics of the most popular insulation materials presented in the table.
Types of mineral wool
One of the most popular insulation materials, and deservedly so, is mineral wool. This term refers to several materials that are made from various natural raw materials, which is why specifications may vary slightly:
Table comparative characteristics varieties of mineral wool.
| Name of parameters | Stone wool | Slag | Glass wool |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limit temperature of use, °C | up to 1000 | up to 250-300 | from -60 to +450 |
| Average fiber diameter, µm | from 4 to 12 | from 4 to 12 | from 5 to 15 |

Stone wool
Stone wool is made from rocks gabbro-basalt groups and marls. This material has low thermal conductivity, so it perfectly retains heat indoors. The fibrous structure of the insulation, in principle, can withstand heating at 900 ÷ 1000 degrees, but at a temperature of 600 degrees the material sinteres and loses its heat-insulating properties.
Stone (basalt) wool is the most convenient material to work with
Very important quality for the installation of this type of wool is the absence of thorny, brittle fibers - the material is practically safe for the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and eyes, and for the skin.
This type of insulation can be called “breathable”, so the air in the rooms will not be heavy and stagnant.
Stone wool does not emit toxic substances, therefore it is safe for humans.
It is produced in different forms that are convenient for installation work, and recently a material has appeared that has an additional foil coating, which helps to reflect the heat rising to the ceiling into the room.
Glass wool
Glass wool is made from broken glass and sand by melting them at high temperatures, reaching 1500 degrees. As a result technological process fibers up to 50 mm long and 4 ÷ 15 microns thick are obtained, which make the material strong and elastic.
Glass wool - performance qualities are not bad, but increased precautions are required during installation
Installation carried out in accordance with all the rules will allow you to preserve the insulation without loss of quality for many years. Glass wool is not susceptible to fungal growth, rodents do not build nests in it, it has low thermal conductivity and can withstand low and high temperatures.
The disadvantages of this type of mineral wool is that its installation is made difficult by the fragility of the fibers, which have fairly sharp edges. Their fragments tend to penetrate under the fabric of clothing, stick into skin, get into Airways and mucous membranes of the eyes. Therefore, starting to installation work, you need to protect yourself by wearing protective clothing, which after completing the insulation process must be packaged and disposed of.
Slag
This type of insulation is made from blast furnace slag, but is capable of withstanding temperatures reaching only 300 degrees without loss of quality, while glass stone wool withstand more high heat. When this temperature is exceeded, the slag fibers sinter and, accordingly, lose their insulating functions.
Slag wool is of lower quality, and during installation personal protective equipment for hands, eyes, and respiratory organs is also required
Slag wool is hygroscopic, and when humidity in the environment increases, it easily absorbs it, which leads to a decrease in insulating and soundproofing qualities.
The installation of slag wool must also be carried out extremely carefully, since its fibers are also splintered and can harm the skin and mucous membranes. Therefore, before installation, you need to prepare appropriate work clothes and protective equipment for eyes and respiratory tract.
Types of expanded polystyrene
Many owners prefer to save money, and therefore insulate their houses with the well-known polystyrene foam (more often called polystyrene foam). However, before purchasing it, you must be sure to familiarize yourself with the characteristics, since the material has an abundance of significant shortcomings.
There are two types of polystyrene foam - extruded and regular. Although they are, in principle, made from the same starting polymer, they have slightly different characteristics.
Regular foam
Conventional foamed polystyrene (foam) has a fairly porous structure, since it consists mainly of air, and only 2–3% is the polymer component.
The positive qualities of this type of insulation include:
- Foam plastic has low thermal conductivity, the coefficient of which is only 0.03-0.04 W/m×°C.
- The material has good soundproofing properties.
- Polystyrene foam almost does not absorb moisture, which means it is protected from the occurrence of fungus and other forms of microbiological life.
- The insulation is easy to install, as it is easily processed, laid, and fastened. In addition, the material is produced in large panels that can immediately close large area, insulated surface.
- Foam plastic is not afraid of exposure to gypsum and lime, cement and salts, as well as coloring compositions water based.
- The negative qualities of regular and extruded foam are similar enough that they can be combined.
Extruded polystyrene foam
Extruded foam plastic is marked with the letters EPPS and XPS. It has a denser and more uniform structure, so its thermal conductivity is slightly higher than that of foamed polystyrene. The advantages of this material include the following qualities:
- Very low hygroscopicity, even bordering on hydrophobicity.
- Quite low thermal conductivity, amounting to 0.05÷0.07 W/m×°C.
- Easy to install on interfloor floors due to its low weight. In addition, most of the produced panels have a special locking part, which makes it possible to easily combine them into a single covering with seams blocked from cold bridges.
- Resistance to deformation - the material is so strong that it is used for underground insulation of foundations or laid under a concrete screed.
- Resistance to chemicals of inorganic origin.
- Durability in operation with proper installation and subsequent lining of the insulation.
- If the extruded polystyrene foam has received good external protection, then it is non-toxic, so how it doesn't decompose and does not emit harmful substances.
The disadvantages of expanded polystyrene, inherent in both types, include:
- Quite high flammability of the material. Both types are marked G4 or G 3. Often there is no marking on the packaging providing information about its characteristics, and it is recommended to immediately refuse to purchase such material - it is possible that it has not undergone appropriate processing and may ignite from more low heat than those manufactured in a factory.
- The material does not like high temperatures – already at + 75 – 80 ° WITH the onset of thermal deformation cannot be ruled out.
- When ignited, polystyrene foam begins to melt and becomes fluid, thereby spreading the fire to adjacent materials. This is especially dangerous when mounting it on the ceiling.
- The smoke of burning polystyrene foam is extremely dangerous not only for health, but also for human life, as it contains highly toxic substances that can cause extensive chemical burns to the respiratory system and lead to damage to the central nervous system.
- After a certain time, low-quality polystyrene foam itself begins to decompose, releasing harmful toxic substances that can penetrate through decorative cladding and even through brickwork walls
- Expanded polystyrene is extremely unstable when exposed to ultraviolet rays, so it cannot be kept for a long time in the open sun or without external decoration.
- This insulation dissolves upon contact with organic compounds such as ethyl alcohol, turpentine, gasoline, acetone and others.
Expanded clay
Expanded clay is made from clay of fusible rocks - it is molded and fired at very high temperatures, more than 1000 degrees. The main advantage of this insulation is its environmental friendliness, since no foreign impurities are used in its production.
One of the most popular insulation materials is expanded clay.
Expanded clay is used for insulation different parts home, including the ceiling. It is often used in combination with other insulating materials to enhance the effect of heat conservation and protect residential premises from external noise.
Expanded clay is produced in different fractions - these can be granules measuring 20÷40, 10÷20 mm, finer crushed stone or even sand. Rejected granules that cracked during firing are usually ground into sand.
In addition to being environmentally friendly, expanded clay also has other positive qualities, which can become indispensable when insulating the ceiling in a wooden house:
Its complete non-flammability will make insulation safe, low thermal conductivity and porous structure will create reliable protection from the cold and the penetration of external noise into the house. Although expanded clay is hygroscopic to a certain extent, it will not absorb moisture unless exposed to spilled water. This means that even increased atmospheric humidity will not be able to reduce its thermal insulation qualities.
Thanks to the same qualities, the material is durable, its service life is almost unlimited. And one more important advantage - rodents or insects will never settle in this material.
The porous structure makes the insulation light in weight - it is easy to lift it attic floor. In addition, it is extremely easy to install - you just need to sprinkle it on the prepared surface and distribute it evenly over it. Preparing the floor for backfilling is also simple - it is covered with a vapor barrier film or coated well with clay or lime mortar. When the solution has dried, you can begin filling in the expanded clay.
If the winter temperatures of the region where the insulated structure is located are very low, then mineral wool mats can be additionally laid on the expanded clay placed between the floor beams.

Having completed the installation of the ceiling and reliably insulated it, you can proceed to decorative design the very front surface of the ceiling.
Ceiling decoration
A wooden ceiling can be decorated in the most different materials. The finishing process is facilitated by the flexibility of the wood - you can easily attach any brackets to it for installing panels or drywall, as well as fill shingles for applying, for example, a clay layer, and then plaster.
Cladding
Some home owners prefer to cover the ceiling with clapboard along with the walls. Such cladding can be made of natural wood, or made of polymers or composites - PVC, laminated panels based on fiberboard, etc.
The ceiling lining should not be too heavy, so if wooden lining is chosen, then it should be no more than 10 ÷ 15 mm thick, intended specifically for the ceiling. Before installation, it is recommended to coat the panels with an antiseptic, and after installation - with water-based varnish or water-based paint.
The plastic lining itself is lightweight and designed for installation on the ceiling, so all that remains is to choose the color of the material.
Laminated panels also have light weight and will not create problems during installation. They are produced with various patterns that can imitate the textured pattern of wood or stone.
Lining made of laminated fiberboard (MDF)
- Installation of these materials occurs, in principle, using the same technology. The only issue to be resolved is how the finishing material will be mounted: directly on the ceiling boards or on a fixed sheathing.
The latter option is usually chosen in cases where the goal is to additionally insulate the ceiling or level its surface.
- The lathing can also be mounted in different ways - it is screwed directly to the surface of the ceiling or lowered by 100 ÷ 150 mm, securing guides made of beams or metal profiles to hangers to secure the drywall.
Parallel guide battens are fixed in increments of 500 ÷ 600 mm. After completing their installation, they proceed to the installation of the lining.
- The trim is secured to the wooden sheathing using special clamps, which are placed on the tongues of the lining, and then attached to the guides with nails or thin screws.
- The installation of lining panels begins from the wall, and it is very important to set the first one as evenly as possible, since both the fit and appearance of the entire resulting coating depend on it.
- If a metal profile is not used for the sheathing, then the panels are attached to it using self-tapping screws screwed through clamps or directly through the tongue of the lining.
After completing the finishing of the walls and ceiling, a plinth is installed at the junction of the finishing materials, which will give completeness to the entire cladding.
Sheathing with sheet material
Sheet materials used to decorate the ceiling surface include plasterboard and plywood (or OSB). They, just like the lining, can be attached to the sheathing or directly to the false ceiling.
Both plywood and drywall are mounted for additional finishing:
- The plywood is first puttyed at the joints - for this purpose a special wood putty is selected (if for painting, then acrylic is better) - and allowed to dry. Then primed and coated with water-based paint or varnish.
Sometimes from below the plywood ceiling in decorative purposes real or false beams are installed. Light, well-dried wood or hollow polymer elements are selected for them.
Decorative plastic hollow “bars” for false beams
- Drywall after fixing also puttyed at joints and in places where screws are screwed in, but for this purpose a mixture of gypsum base. Then the seams are cleaned, the surface is primed and painted, and covered with regular or liquid wallpaper.
Use of these materials in suspended structure allows you to make a two- and even three-tier ceiling, and not only with the correct rectangular parts, , but also with smooth curved shapes.

Ceiling tiles
- The wooden ceiling is also decorated with polystyrene foam tiles, which are glued to a special polymer adhesive, applied pointwise along the edges. This type of tiles has very little weight, and they easily stay on a level, primed ceiling.
Installation plastic tiles on the surface of the plywood ceiling
The slabs are produced in a wide variety - with a smooth white surface, with a relief pattern or with a texture imitating a particular material (wood or finishing stone), and can also have a relief that replicates the ceiling stucco.
Video, finishing the ceiling with polystyrene foam tiles
- In addition, ceiling tiles are made from PVC - they are also mounted with polymer glue. This finish is also light in weight and easy to install.
- Wooden finishing panels are quite expensive. But if they are the ones that can transform the interior, then it’s worth installing them, especially since there are options on sale with a wide variety of relief patterns and shades. Are fixed wood slabs using self-tapping screws, the heads of which are recessed into the thickness of the material, and the holes are then sealed with masking choppers, selected by color.
Wooden decorative panels give the ceiling an exceptionally “rich” look
Today there are no particular problems with purchasing any material you like for finishing the ceiling of a wooden house. It is important to compose correctly sketch of the interior that I would like to receive and indicate on it where and what finishing material will be located. Then, all you have to do is visit a specialized store, take an interest in the assortment and select everything, based on your own draft. After this you can proceed to finishing operations which will allow you to hide minor shortcomings made during the installation of the ceiling structure itself.
No matter what anyone says, the tree has always been and will be the most best view finishing material for a wooden house. The material is completely environmentally friendly and absolutely harmless to humans, and it’s hard to argue with this, because Mother Nature herself gave it to us. Finishing ceilings with natural wood is deservedly business card of any home, this is the first thing that catches your eye when you walk inside. In this article we will look in detail at all the finishing options that exist today, as well as the color design of the ceiling.
Wood ceiling options
The big advantage of wood is its low thermal conductivity. Thanks to this, wooden ceilings always retain heat and give comfort to your home. Being in such a room you will always feel comfortable, and the natural smell of wood will have a beneficial effect on your body.
Modern market building materials can satisfy even the most capricious buyer.
The range presented is so wide that sometimes it is not possible to make a choice right away. It takes even more time to think.
In a house made of timber it is difficult to imagine anything other than wood as a material for the ceiling
The style for each room is selected depending on its main functional purpose. For example, in the living room he is alone, but in the bedroom and study he is completely different.
In the last ten years the ceiling has been painted in White color is very popular in interior design, especially among the younger generation. This is due to the fact that white color will never go out of fashion, and its unobtrusive appearance allows you to give the room lightness and airiness, which is sometimes so lacking.
In this design, you can decorate not only the ceilings, but also the walls, the space will look visually larger and wider, and you can easily dilute it with decorative elements.
Despite the fact that wooden lining is relatively inexpensive material, this in no way prevents you from creating a unique interior design that is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent to it. To do this, you just need to show a little imagination and the result will not take long to arrive.
Having decorated the ceilings in your house with wooden paneling, you can change their color to any other color at any time if you are a little tired of the old one and want some variety.
Stereotypes that wood cannot be used in rooms with high humidity. Modern technologies processing of the material and proper installation of wooden ceilings allows it to be used even in the bathroom.
You don’t have to worry about anything happening to it; scientists and technologists have already done it for you. All you have to do is choose the right type of wood and the toner you like for it.
There are plenty of options for finishing the bathroom ceiling and you can always choose the design that suits you.
Wooden ceilings in a private home usually involve the use of two main types of material. Most Popular finishing panels are:
- Lining "calm" : enough popular material, which is used to decorate ceilings. Its long sides are made with a special groove and recess in such a way that when they are connected, a so-called “recessed shelf” is not formed, that is, the surface is absolutely flat. It looks especially beautiful when the ceiling is decorated with wide “calm” lining.
- Lining "Euro" : a whiter, more expensive option, but much better quality. It is made mainly from high quality wood. The main emphasis is on the absence of knots, resin stains and cracks. It undergoes higher quality processing on four sides on expensive machines. There is a recess on the back for moisture removal and ventilation. The front side is perfectly smooth and smooth surface, which does not require additional processing.
What styles are natural wood used in?
Wood as a finishing material has been used all over the world for quite a long time. Reliability, aesthetics and elegant design allows it to be used in different styles interior design.
The main styles include the following:
- High tech;
- Country;
- Modern;
- Chalet;
- Eco style;
- Japanese style.
High-tech style
The high-tech style is characterized by a clearly defined geometry of objects, but despite this they should not have strict boundaries.
Country style
It’s hard to imagine a country-style room without using wood as a finishing touch, and the ceilings are no exception. The finishing material can be either lining or wooden panels, boards or wooden wallpaper.
Well selected color combination ceiling with walls, combined with a fireplace - will give the room a truly homely feel
Art Nouveau style
The main task of this style is to combine different types of materials, natural and artificial origin. The use of wood is a fundamental component of room design; it can be used on the floor, ceiling and walls. The main thing is that it does not disturb the overall harmony of the interior.
A modern kitchen will always be relevant
It will always be the same appropriate use on the ceiling of various wooden structures that will harmoniously complement the interior.
Chalet style
This style migrated to Russia from distant Switzerland and France. Seemingly simple design wooden houses should have remained unnoticed, but as it turned out, this was not at all the case. The grandeur and beauty of the “chalet” style can charm any connoisseur of beauty.
The predominant tones for this style are: brown, burgundy, dark green and red. It is necessary to use brighter colors with extreme caution so as not to disturb the overall atmosphere of the interior, since the “chalet” style loves natural tones.

Eco style
Eco is a derivative of the word ecology. From here it is not difficult to understand that the eco style provides for finishing only environmentally friendly material created by nature itself.
However, the use of natural materials is not one of the most important conditions for this style; it is very important to preserve their original appearance and appearance. The texture of the wood should be clearly visible, and its color palette should be as close to natural as possible.
Interior design of a country house in eco style
Unfortunately, it is impossible to ensure that wood processing does not involve harmful substances and that their cost does not increase. Wood treated with environmentally friendly impregnations will not be cheap, but believe me, it’s worth it, in return you will get a crystal clear home fresh air and a feeling of complete solitude with nature.
The use of other natural materials in decoration, such as, is encouraged.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, fireplace, lined wall decorative bricks, a wonderful sofa with a coffee table is the perfect union to create a truly cozy atmosphere in the house
Eco design loves space and good lighting. It is problematic to make the most of all the possibilities of this style in an apartment; a large country house with high ceilings and spacious rooms is perfect for these purposes. Only here you can truly give free rein to your imagination.
Wooden ceilings will look good not only in your home, but also in other outbuildings. One style will allow you to avoid sharp boundaries between different zones.
An open terrace of a country house, decorated in the same style as the house, will be an excellent addition modern design in eco style
Japanese style
Quite an exotic and new style for Russian latitudes. However, recently it has been gaining more and more popularity. The main materials used for finishing are stone and wood. Special attention paid to the design of ceilings, they are mainly made of boards or wooden panels, painted in dark colors.
Remember that Japanese style does not exactly like experiments; it is characterized by minimalism and restraint.
It is possible to dilute the interior only with decorative elements related to the style.
Japanese style loves restraint. It is characterized by straight lines and simple shapes
Regardless of what style you choose for your interior, it is important to remember one thing: the ceilings in the house occupy a special, if not the main role in it.
We invite you to consider various options execution of wooden ceilings.
Let this information will be food for your thought. On our part, we wish you to make the right choice.
