Finishing board as an original decoration for your home

In the history of our country, finishing boards for walls, both external and internal, have been used for a very long time. In this review, we will talk about what kind of decorative board for wall decoration is, and in what design directions it is in demand today.

Wooden board for decoration - what it is

The true motto of the modern world can be called the slogan - "Let's go back to the wild, but don't forget to take with us all the benefits and conveniences of civilization."... And although in its pure form this task is practically impossible, in design, wall decoration with a board has become one of the symbols of naturalness in the interior. Of course, there are both pluses and minuses here.

Advantages and disadvantages of wood trim

• Naturally, the first thing advertising “trumpets” and absolutely all designers say is the ecological purity and naturalness of wood. Polished furniture and wood-based cladding boards are good things. But you must admit that trimming with an unedged board in its appearance is much closer to the wild;
• The wood, of course, is not stone or concrete, but all the same, such a cladding is quite durable. Plus the board is elastic, and where the stone breaks, and the plaster cracks, there will be nothing with the board;

• A house decorated with wood is not only beautiful and prestigious, but also warm. By itself, such a cladding has a rather low level of thermal conductivity;
• Facade board for exterior decoration of the house, being a porous and elastic material, has always been considered an excellent sound insulator;
• Wood finishes have a fairly wide range of colors. Now you can choose your own type of wood for any design, even the notorious one does not shy away from plank inclusions. And thanks to modern impregnations and stains, the facade and interior cladding can be decorated to your liking;

• A beautiful, natural look and the torment of creativity at the birth of a new design are certainly interesting things. But there is one more important point, any home craftsman can mount such a cladding with his own hands.

You can take our word for it, instructions for mounting a board on a wall are mastered within half an hour. There are 3 types of board fastening: end-to-end, overlap and thorn-groove system. And all these types are extremely easy to learn.

Like any finishing material, a wooden board is not without its drawbacks. Although here a lot depends on how you look at these disadvantages:

• Many critics "nod" at the high cost of such a finish. Of course, if you decorate a house or a summer cottage from the inside, for example, with an oak parquet board, then the price will be exorbitant;

From my own experience, I can say that finishing a bath with an unedged board made of such species as pine and linden is quite affordable for a common man in the street, even taking into account the cost of protective impregnations.

• The tree burns well and you can't get away from this. Nowadays, many fire retardants (fireproofing impregnations) are produced, but, firstly, it is chemistry, and secondly, fire retardants only reduce the flammability of the material;
• And one more negative point, in which I fully support the critics, is the need for periodic prevention. Especially when it comes to finishing with an unedged board outside and cladding with wood in wet rooms. In this case the protective coating on wood will need to be renewed every few years.

Let's understand the terminology

It is customary to call a board a wooden product in which the width of the plank is 2 or more times its thickness. If the bar does not meet this requirement, then it is already a bar or a bar (a bar has a side size in cross-section up to 100 mm, and a bar - 100 or more millimeters).

• Edged board is the most common building material. In this case, the product is processed from all four sides. Moreover, the processing should be carried out precisely by a technical method, sawing, planing or grinding;

• Unedged board is technically processed only on two wide sides. Simply put, a "wild" log is taken and unfolded on a sawmill in one plane. As a result, the edges of such planks remain untreated, often even with bark;

• The so-called wane or slab are log cuts along the edges. In fact, in such strips, only one plane is even, they are not processed on the reverse side. Such wood has always been considered a waste of woodworking, it could only be used in inconspicuous places, for example, for arranging a roofing pie;

Modern designers have found another use for this material and create original panels from the slab.

• There are also such specific terms as frontal, terrace and ship board. But they no longer come from the type of processing, but rather from the purpose:

1. So the place for the frontal board was always considered the zone of transition from the walls of the house to the roof, in some cases this was the name of the material used for the manufacture of carved platbands and pediments;

1. A ship board is a fairly thick, well-cut plank, originally intended for finishing the outer sides and decks of ships. Luxurious appearance, beautiful texture and the highest quality of surface treatment made this expensive material one of the most popular not only in construction, but also in design;

1. A decking board is, in principle, the same as a ship board, as the name implies, it was intended for paving floors on open terraces. Although not so expensive wood is already used here. Therefore, decorating the balcony with a terrace board or reveting the facade with it will cost less than a ship board.

Types of finishing boards

Now let's move on to the most popular types of material. And if we take it in percentage terms, then, of course, the lining can be considered the queen here. These planks got their name at the beginning of the twentieth century, when they were lined with railway cars from the inside.

A distinctive feature of this popular material is the tongue-and-groove connection. In the overwhelming majority of cases, such cladding is mounted on a frame made of wooden blocks.

There are many varieties of lining, although imitation and block house are deservedly considered the most common. With the imitation of a bar, everything is clear, but under the outlandish name of a block house there are slats that copy the appearance of a rounded log.

Nowadays, many are trying to carve out a block house as a separate niche. I was specifically interested in this issue and I can assure you that a block house is one of the types of lining.

The planks can have different sizes and are intended for outdoor or indoor decoration, but all attempts to separate a block house into an independent type of decoration are just a marketing ploy.

Exactly the same as the "euro lining". It differs from the usual one only in strictly fixed dimensions. And also the obligatory presence of compensating cuts on the back side.

Modern parquet boards are also joined according to the tenon-groove principle, but here you get a perfectly even and durable coating. Previously, this material was made from solid, well-dried and impregnated with protective compounds.

Nowadays, a parquet board is often glued from several planks. And some careless manufacturers generally make it out of thick plywood.

The so-called planken or planking board is an exclusively decorative, finishing material. If you understand the history of origin, then planken can be safely called the grandfather of modern lining.

The fact is that initially the carriages were faced with even planks, and only a little later, a tenon-groove connection appeared on these planks. But the planks, out of habit, continued to be called clapboard.

The term planking board was again coined by good marketers. After all, it was necessary to somehow call even planed planks without thorns and grooves, but with a chamfer on the front side.

Interior wall decoration with planking boards can be performed both end-to-end and overlapping. But on the facade, most often the plank is mounted only with an overlap. Moreover, the planks are packed horizontally so that the rain can calmly flow down them. Such a kind of wooden tiles.

The chamfer on the front side of the planking board can be either rounded or have even corners. But remember, if you decide to mount the plank end-to-end anywhere, leave a gap of a couple of millimeters between the planks (for the thickness of the match). It is necessary to compensate for the expansion of wood with fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Species of wood from which the finishing board is made

It is no secret that in addition to beauty, natural wood also has a beneficial effect on human health. Personally, I have never heard that anyone was allergic to this or that wood species. In the table below, I have outlined the main characteristics of the most popular breeds on the domestic market.

Characteristics and average cost of finishing wood
Wood species	General characteristics	average price
Hardwood
Linden	It has a light color and an even, uniform texture. It practically does not heat up, therefore it is often used as a budget option for finishing a steam room in a bath.	From 700 rubles / m²
Alder	Alder is prized as an antiseptic. Its scent is capable of killing indoor pathogens and preventing mold and mildew.	From 900 rubles / m²
Oak	Belongs to elite breeds and has unique durability. The color range of different oak species can range from light with a golden hue to dark with burgundy splashes.	From 3000 rub / m²
Ash	Clean and light wood with an original texture. In terms of strength, ash is not far from oak, so it is rather difficult to process.	From 1500 rub / m²
Aspen	Aspen has original color and texture. It, like linden, is often used for facing steam rooms. It is also valued for the fact that it practically does not rot, which means that it does not require aggressive impregnations for protection.	From 1200 rubles / m²
Conifers
Larch	Larch has a number of advantages. Its beautiful color and texture cannot be confused with anything, it is not subject to decay, has high strength and at the same time has good elasticity. This is the same board I spoke about above.	From 750 rubles / m²
Cedar	This pearl of Siberia is valued almost as much as larch. Although it is inferior to larch in strength and resistance to aggressive environments.	From 550 rub / m²
Pine and spruce	From the point of view of finishing, pine and spruce are practically equal. Easy processing, affordable cost and beauty are considered their indisputable advantages.	From 350 rubles / m²

The subtleties of the design of wooden walls

If we are already talking about the design as such, then you must agree that the lining is not suitable for the role of the original finish. This material is firmly entrenched in the association with balconies, garages and baths.

I mean something exclusive, something that others do not have and preferably at a reasonable price. And here it is better for us to work with edged board, unedged board and slab. As a last resort, you can use old boards and parquet boards.

But with old boards you need to be very careful, otherwise, instead of originality, you can get clutter.

Where is it better to put accents

Decorating the walls with a board will only look if it is dosed. In other words, you should not sew up the whole house with the same material, as you will definitely not achieve exclusiveness.

A wooden panel should be striking right after entering, which means that it should be connected with other interior details. There are 4 suitable places for interior decoration with wood in the house:

1. In the bedroom, natural wall decoration will be appropriate at the head of a wide bed. It can be only a fragment covering the head of the bed and side tables, or the entire wall;

1. The wooden backdrop will contrast perfectly with the wide plasma TV. So you can organically combine the naturalness of wild nature with the technocratic benefits of civilization;

1. Your favorite sofa, in front of which you watch TV with the whole family in the living room, will also be in perfect harmony with natural wood. Especially if this sofa is sheathed with natural leather. But keep in mind, here you need to choose one thing. Either decorate the wall behind the TV, or behind the sofa, otherwise the zest will be lost;

1. In the kitchen, even if it is of solid dimensions, there are also only 2 walls on which wood trim will look good. This is the work area, that is, the kitchen apron and everything around it. And the dining table only if this table is adjacent to the wall.

Although these are all classic options. Nobody bothers you to create. For example, in my house, an unedged board is sheathed with a corner in which there is an aquarium and a cage with birds. Add a few more live indoor vines and you get a corner of wildlife in your own home.

Styles with which the tree is in harmony

In general, in design, it is believed that a tree can be entered into absolutely any style. Even hi-tech, with its black and white paints, strict forms and shine of nickel-plated parts, is quite loyal to natural wood. True, it is better to use glossy and laminated surfaces in it, the unedged board will be alien here.

Eco-directions, in addition to the already traditional trend in the spirit of "back to the roots", includes the Asian, in particular the Japanese style. Although rough shapes are discouraged in Asia, all parts need to be finished well.

The so-called country style includes a lot of different branches. These are American, English, Scandinavian styles, rustic and, in fact, all ethnic trends. This is where you can arbitrarily compose a rough-cut board.

French Provence and the Mediterranean stand separately. They are welcome to design with whitewashed curved boards. In addition, glossy blotches will be appropriate in the Italian theme, but without fanaticism.

If you want to decorate the interior in a retro style, you do not have to sew up everything with aged or old boards. A brushed tree with a highlighted texture and light cracks certainly does not hurt, but I repeat again, you should not get carried away.

• The board can be fixed to the lathing or glued to the wall. There are enough glues now, but "Liquid nails" are usually used. If you decide to glue the material, then the wall will have to be perfectly aligned;

• Monochromatic cladding, even from elite wood species, is no longer surprising to anyone. Do not be afraid to experiment with different colors, or better with different types of wood, this will add extra volume to your wall;
• The layout of vertical, horizontal and diagonal planks looks great. Even a classic parquet herringbone can be inserted in fragments;

• Golden oak can be diluted with a pink board of Karelian birch or rich burgundy blotches of cherry;
• My advice to you is to use synthetic varnishes and paints as little as possible for interior decoration, and it is better to give them up altogether. The wood will look good and will not fade for a long time if it is coated with linseed oil once a year. To preserve the aroma of, for example, natural needles for a long time, you need to insist these needles in linseed oil for 2 weeks;

• So that your design masterpiece does not fall out of the general ensemble, it is desirable that in some other interior details the leading color of the wall is repeated;
• If the wall is plain with a polished or laminated finish, you can revive it with the help of accessories, decorative shelves with figurines, light bulbs, pictures, and more;
• Decorating the walls with a board in the nursery is a separate topic. Firstly, I do not recommend that you put the planks on glue, no matter how high-quality it is, your child can pick out these planks. Secondly, something durable and smooth, for example, a parquet board, will be appropriate for the nursery. It is better not to use an unedged board or slab here, the child may get hurt or drive a splinter.

Conclusion

Today is another post at your request.

"Recently we bought an apartment in which a large kitchen-living room is upholstered with wood from floor to ceiling. And so I don't know how to present it. What colors go with wood (except for obviously white), which kitchen to choose so that everything does not merge into one whole, what kind of textiles to choose and in general ..
It would be great to see a selection on wood trimmed houses. "

I think that this topic is interesting not only for Zhenya, since wood is the most common building material in Russia. Wood is environmentally friendly and durable, it is a warm material that can be very attractive. Perhaps the only negative is the prevalence. Classic lining, beams, boards are often used because it is "cheap and cheerful". This can also affect the perception of the design of the house, even if the finish was deliberately chosen for other reasons (at least a feature near Moscow). Therefore, I will devote part of today's analysis to this topic.

Various types of wood are used for decoration: oak, apple, walnut, pine, birch, exotic species. It can be given the appearance of zebrano, wenge, rosewood, bleached oak, and, if desired, painted. You probably know that by choosing a pine tree, you also choose its texture - along with knots and possible eyes. This will have to be taken into account in the further interior design.

Everything is important in wood finishing: from the species and texture to the color, size and shape of the panels. That being said, you don't have to stick to one thing.

Here is a vivid example of combining different textures, colors and shapes of wood:

Wood can be processed in different ways: stained, varnished, decorative protective coating, painted, artificially aged, you can make a type-setting drawing with it or use a thread ...

I'll start simple.

Rustic or suburban interior:

The texture of the wood can determine the style. So, if all the walls (and, possibly, the ceiling) are finished with classic clapboard, I propose to forget the standard dacha interior design solution - "I blinded it from what was" (in other words, from the unnecessary brought in the apartment).

Wood is a self-sufficient background that should not be overloaded. It can be shaded with: Natural materials (leather, wicker furniture, stone), supplemented with homogeneous textiles (similar texture) and diluted with something bright (floral prints, bright colors).

Izba:

The logs look brutal and noble. Massive wooden furniture, wrought iron furniture and accessories will look good in such an interior.

Aged tree:

A tree that looks old takes on nobility. Chips and cracks can be forgiven him.

Bleached wood:

A few years ago, the whitewashed wood craze passed. It looks really great.
For such an interior, you can pick up furniture and accessories in a classic style.

Painted wood:

If you are tired of the color of wood, you can paint it the same way as wood furniture.

Such an interior can be decorated in a country style.

Modern interior:

Smooth, neatly matched boards can be a great backdrop for a modern interior. I would say that such an interior needs more space.

Light furniture, both white, cream, and gray and even light green, will look perfect.

Zoning

Wooden walls can be distinguished by painting part of the walls.

Wooden walls go well with stone and brick:

COLOR SOLUTIONS

When choosing the color of furniture and textiles, you will have to take into account the shade of wood that you have chosen. I recommend choosing natural shades. A few combinations that I find the most successful are below.

White, creamy, creamy. The light interior looks lighter and calmer. And even the animal skin does not look intimidating here:

RED

Red is a strong color. And at the same time, its shades are suitable for most shades of wood.

If the interior, where a lot of red is used, will not please many ...

then the interiors where accents are placed in this color are liked by the majority:

Green is also a very natural color. The most natural will be the use of ornamental plants:

Green can also be chosen as an accent color, when the rest of the interior is in a calm color scheme:

And combine with red:

Gray, blue-black, gray-blue - natural shades of stone:

Choose a style and make your apartment or house complete and individual.

Walls are an essential element of any living space. That is why they should be given the utmost attention when decorating living quarters.

Decorating the interior with not quite traditional materials, of which there are a lot today, is becoming a fashionable technique. Increasingly, homeowners are turning to traditional, environmentally friendly wood.

An aged dining table will add sophistication and a noble look to the room.

They make furniture, floors, ceilings from it. Craftsmen often use this method of using wood, such as antique finishing. This gives the furniture and the entire home a noble and sophisticated look.

How to age wood

Tools for brushing wood: face shield, grinder, sandpaper, iron brush.

You can artificially age wood in various ways. The brushing method is very common. Brushed wood is used as ceiling beams, as a floor covering, for the manufacture and decoration of furniture. Imitation of semi-antique wood can be done with your own hands right at home. You just need to remember that not all breeds lend themselves to such treatment. The brushing technology is not applicable to maple and beech, cherry and teak, pear and some other species. Larch, pine, walnut, oak and ash can be processed very well.

Brushing is done as follows:

1. The surface of the wood is brushed with a stiff metal bristle brush.
2. The softer layers in the composition are deformed and removed.
3. Brushed wood is varnished.

Using a thin drill, you can create the effect of being hit by worms.

The processed material can be used for the manufacture of furniture parts, entrance and interior doors, for wall cladding in a sauna or steam bath. You can continue processing by creating a patina effect. During the patination process, part of the wood pores are covered with stains of various colors. A layer of dye is applied to the surface of the wood and immediately wiped off with a cloth. As a result, the tree acquires a light background, against which dark pores stand out. The patina must be protected with a layer of varnish.

Artificially aged wood is excellently combined with metal decorations obtained by cold and hot forging, looks solid, emphasizes the sophistication of the aesthetic tastes of the owners. The old-fashioned facades of the houses are immediately striking in that the estate resembles a building of the past and the century before last.

Stain is needed to give the base dark color to the wood.

To create a retro-style house, you must follow these rules:

1. Use finishing materials of the past or their modern counterparts.
2. All decor details must be in the same style.
3. Windows, roofing, fences and yard buildings should be subordinate to this style.
4. It is advisable to make the roof copper or very reminiscent of copper. It is a very expensive, but durable material that acquires a greenish tint over time.
5. You can use modern metal tiles covered with a layer of polymer imitating copper.
6. The interior furnishings are perfectly complemented by the imitation of the load-bearing ceiling beams made of brushed wood.
7. Doors can be decorated with natural semi-antique veneer.

Aging wood with paint

The artificially aged furniture is perfect for a country-style kitchen.

You can age wood by applying paint to its surface. For this:

1. Apply paint to the surface in a circular motion with a long-bristled brush.
2. In some places, you need to press harder on the brush to achieve a scuffed effect.
3. Use a sponge, cloth, dry brush to scrub the surface for more pronounced scuff marks.
4. After the paint has dried, the surface must be waxed and rubbed to a shine.

The required paint for the processing of semi-antique wood is sold in containers of 4-5 liters. It is often used for the treatment of wooden facades and for interior decoration. The paint does not contain harmful substances, does not burn.

There is an opinion that the ever-expanding range of finishing materials should gradually replace and eliminate outdated options, but in reality this is not the case. Traditional solutions are modified under the influence of modern requirements and appear to customers in a completely different light. Wood is the most telling example. For what, it would seem, familiar material, however, over time, not only did not lose, but also strengthened its position.

Today, interior decoration using wood is considered an extremely stylish design option, since wood is not only an aesthetic, but also an environmentally friendly material. Some people mistakenly believe that the only option available is clapboard wall decoration. In fact, there are a large number of alternative paths, which will be discussed below.

Today, a large number of boards of different types are offered on the construction market: front, deck,. The last option is the most popular. The demand is due to several reasons.

Material advantages

1. It is quite simple to manufacture, since a variety of different types of wood are used for production: from ash, maple, beech, larch to sweet cherry, cherry and pear.
2. A wide range of shades allows you to choose the right option for every interior. You can buy wood in a light shade, or you can find material in a deep dark color.
3. Each of the mentioned types of wood belongs to high-quality species and has excellent performance characteristics.
4. Parquet boards as a finishing material for walls look good in the interior.
5. The affordability of parquet boards allows you to arrange a large room without significant financial costs.
6. Additionally, you can "decorate" the wood with special wood stains and wax impregnations. They will not only extend the service life of the material, but also change the appearance for the better.

Prices for various types of parquet boards

Parquet board

Competent surface cladding with solid wood boards allows you to get a spectacular interior, which will become the envy of all friends. The use of special impregnations made from wax and oils give the boards a velvet-like appearance. In addition, these agents create a water-repellent film on the surface of the boards, which prevents the development of mildew and mildew.

Some apartment owners strive to make their homes original and even somewhat extravagant. So if you are tired of boring solutions, then pay attention to the block house, that is, a board, the section of which imitates a rounded log known to everyone from rural landscapes. With the help of this material, you can achieve a real "rural" interior in your home.

In order to make the decoration look even more impressive, it is recommended to resort to such a method as artificial "aging" of the tree. For this, the most commonly used method of "brushing", that is, processing the material with a wire brush. In the process of wood processing, fibers are removed from it, which creates an interesting relief. After that, the material is painted and, without allowing the paint to dry, remove it.

Tools:

• simple pencil;
• ruler;
• silicone;
• screwdriver;
• screws;
• glue;
• block for knocking the laminate;
• jigsaw;
• hammer;
• moldings;
• sills.

Laminate for glue

This method seems to be the simplest and does not require additional skills. To make it easier for yourself, it is recommended to assemble shields from purchased panels in advance. It is necessary to thickly smear the "sides" of the panels with glue and glue the elements in such a way that full-fledged shields are obtained. It is them that we have to fix on the surface of the wall. It is important that it be prepared in advance. It will not be superfluous to carry out the markup.

The only thing to remember for a successful result: work should start from the bottom left corner. In this case, it is recommended to remove the platbands, which are then installed in the old place.

Laminate for lathing

Stage 1. We carry out the necessary measurements, calculate the amount of laminate, as well as the number of moldings and other parts that will be needed for fastening.

Stage 2. Using a ruler and pencil, mark the wall surface.

Stage 3. We remove the platbands from the doors and windows.

Stage 4. We mount the crate, that is, the frame. This is done quite simply - wooden blocks are taken and fastened perpendicular to the floor, but parallel to each other at a distance of 40 cm.

Stage 5. We begin to carry out the installation of the material, as already mentioned above, from the lower corner of the left side of the room.

Stage 6. In the corners, we cut the wood with a hacksaw or an electric jigsaw
Stage 7. Arrange the planks in a checkerboard pattern.

Stage 8. We process the joints with silicone.

Stage 9. We click the locks.

The technology of laying on the wall is really very simple and will not cause any difficulties.

Prices for various types of laminate

Wood wallpapers are an alternative to real wood finishes. A paper base is used as a base, and a special wood veneer is applied to it. The material is sold in rolls.

The cost depends on many factors, but the main criterion is the price of raw materials.

The process of wood wallpapering on the wall surface is not much different from the technology of applying conventional wallpaper. Only the result is different, as we end up with a wall that looks like it was trimmed with wood.

One of the most unusual and popular interior design options today is saw cut trim. The cross-section of the trunk of small thickness is used as the main decorative element. This finishing method is so popular that by now manufacturers have already begun to produce wallpapers and tiles that imitate such a pattern. It is very simple to decorate the walls with a log house in the room.

First of all, you should decide what area you want to occupy with cross sections. Experts do not recommend zealousness, since an unusual type of decoration on a large scale can only ruin the interior. The best option is one wall, preferably the one located at the head of the bed.

It is necessary to paint it in a calm color, and then apply the logs with the help of special high-quality glue. They can be fastened close to each other or you can come up with an interesting fragmentary drawing. It all depends on the imagination of the performer.

The most popular type of wall surface decoration using panels is considered a herringbone pattern. To do this, you will need tools such as a protractor, a hacksaw, duct tape (double-sided), sheathing, and a pencil.

The finishing process consists of several key stages:

• payment;
• markup;
• trimming planks;
• fastening.

Let's consider each of them in more detail.

Step 1. We draw up a diagram of how the finished wall should look like on a piece of paper. It is very important to pay attention to the accuracy of measurements. This is an extremely crucial stage, so you should not approach it negligently.

Step 2. Draw a straight vertical line in the middle of the wall using a simple pencil. It will serve as a boundary for the correct installation of the panels.

Step 3. Preparing the panels. This means that we take them and cut them at an angle of 90 degrees so that one edge turns out to be oblique. One half of the boards should be trimmed from the right corner, the other half from the left.

Step 4. Take double-sided sticky tape and attach it to the panels. It is important that there are three longitudinal strips of tape on each plank.

Step 5. First of all, we fix the middle elements. For this you need an assistant. We apply the planks with oblique corners, focusing on the drawn line. It is important to ensure that no gaps remain between them.

Step 6. We fix the panels on the wall. To do this, remove the protective film from the elements and press the strips tightly to the surface.

Step 7.

This option is most often used for bedrooms, but as an experiment, you can try it out in the kitchen. Do not be afraid to trust your taste and fulfill your fantasies. In addition, wood is the material that will make it easy to embody creative ideas.
