Those who want to be closer to nature go to country cottages or villages, and someone lives there permanently. Vegetation in small settlements grows larger, and houses are built smaller. This is the first difference that catches your eye. People move in a natural setting to relax and gain strength. Vegetables and flowers are grown here - experienced ones get good results. In turn, almost no attention is paid to the interior and exterior of houses. This is the wrong approach, especially due to the fact that the masters came up with many decor options and crafts specifically for the suburban environment. The first thing is still to transform the garden and the garden, make them more attractive and functional. Before working on the facade and the house as a whole, usually "do not reach the hands." As a rule, the decoration looks old and groomed, but if desired, the village house can be changed beyond recognition.
Traditional rural buildings have similar features, no matter where in the world they are. Historically, the material for the manufacture was mainly wood, while other materials were usually saved. The architecture was not distinguished by aesthetics and technological perfection. In ancient times, on the territory of Russia, people resorted to carved decoration of houses and created a whole cultural layer. Now the approach is different. Wood is increasingly being replaced by a convenient and safe material - brick. There are also opportunities for design. The availability and familiarity of the new option has a positive effect on comfort. At the same time, the number of floors in village buildings rarely exceeds two, and the area of residential premises is the indicators of a 4-room apartment. Inside the village houses, a simple design option dominates: ordinary decoration, color and furniture.
What to build a rustic house from
The choice of material and technology includes sequential aspects:
Price issue;
Thermal insulation;
Time costs;
Subsequent finishing costs.
Popular are traditional brick, wood, aerated concrete blocks, ceramic blocks and frame option. The tree makes the atmosphere comfortable and distinctive, at the same time familiar to a sparsely populated area. In this case, the material is a lot of trouble. The clay clay brick, solid or hollow, roughly corresponds to the popularity of wood. Calibrated log houses have a simple but noteworthy look. At the same time, it is a relatively easy option in terms of construction.Thanks to this aspect, the projects themselves can be complicated. Brick is a classic. Practical and durable structures are built from it. Brickwork provides more moves in terms of geometry. High construction speed is typical for frame structures and block houses. For design in a rustic style, these materials are generally less suitable.
Wooden house
An ideal material for construction is considered a profiled beam. Among other things, it has good heat-insulating properties. Wood softens fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Positive effect on the smell in the room. The material is suitable for asthmatics and allergy sufferers. The shape of the beam leaves the opportunity for quick and high-quality construction. The walls of the finished building will not need cladding, because the material looks good and has a smooth surface structure. In case of precipitation, it is not necessary to close the cracks and apply sealants. The suture joint does not suffer from precipitation, so the wood will not rot even in climatic conditions with high humidity and intense rain. Cottages and houses with simple and decorative design are being built from timber. Manufacturers produce elements with a special locking connection that prevents deformation.
When using wood, it is important to find a balance in terms of treatment with protective compounds and preservation of natural qualities.
Brick house
Brick buildings have sufficient strength characteristics to install heavy reinforced concrete floors. Each new floor then begins with a new bulky design. Characteristics of masonry play a role in the allocation of large space for windows. In this case, jumpers are set to protect the integrity of the walls. Refractory clay in the brick guarantees the building a high fire safety rating. Moreover, the finished building is resistant to oxidation, has protection against rot and the destructive activity of insects and rodents.As a result, the house will stand for at least decades. Although the next generation is likely to redo it, the building itself can remain in good condition for 5-7 centuries. Soundproofing is also on the list of benefits. People live in brick houses near busy roads and do not experience discomfort.
The long duration of work in the construction of a brick house is associated with:
arrangement of the base with a large bearing capacity;
brickwork;
concreting.
Storeys of the house
The concept defines SNiP 31-01-2003. Floors are formed by all levels of the aboveground part of the building, as well as technical and basement, the overlap of which is located above 2 meters above the ground. Athens and attics are considered floors, but they do not include floor spaces up to 1.8 m high. Nuances are taken into account in order to avoid difficulties with examinations and deviations in project documents during approval. State expertise is not needed when erecting an individual housing project with the number of floors (not to be confused with the number of storeys) up to 3 inclusive. Thus, if the building has a basement, then in any case there will remain two more levels. Last but not least, due to this restriction, one- and two-story buildings prevail in rural areas. Some owners do without basements. Three-story houses without technical floors and with a flat roof are also included in the category of buildings, the construction of which requires a minimum of permits.
Facade decoration
Much depends on the purpose and frequency of operation. Traditional finishes include plastering. At the same time, the first thing they pay attention to is the design of the entire street. It makes sense to develop a “theme”, especially if the ensemble looks attractive. With several types of plaster, the facade is transformed into something interesting, additionally arranging insulation. In addition, a heat-insulating layer is applied, although the material itself has such properties.For wet facades, silicate, polymer and mineral versions of plaster are used. A mass trend in recent years has become a ventilated facade, in which a layer of air is left between the wall and the cladding. The latter improves the condition inside the building in the heat and cold. The exterior is then finished with natural or artificial stone, porcelain stoneware or vinyl siding.
Modern private houses are also faced:
front panels;
clinker;
special decorative insulation options.
What styles are suitable for interior decoration
For a rustic setting, simple directions such as country, Provence, and the usual rustic style, both outside and inside, will be natural. In the interior design, they go further and resort to stylization under the Mediterranean, modern, rustic style. The Mediterranean interior is in many ways similar to Italian: they use natural materials, soft colors, wood, and clay objects. Art Nouveau is distinguished by interesting forms, classical motifs, the dominance of the same material, usually natural wood. Both styles use columns and similar elements. The rustic environment is in some ways experimental. Designers combine different species of trees, branches, cuts, stumps with neat panels. Complex manipulations plus a lot of effort - and the residents will receive an interior in the style of minimalism or loft. In the village houses they use mainly warm colors, color without sharp accents.
Ideas and tips for decorating rooms in the house
Highlights in the arrangement of premises:
convenience;
home furnishings;
functional benefit;
space saving.
You can create a harmonious interior in a small building, but for this you will have to consider a whole range of options. You should start with the living room, because it is there that the image of the entire dwelling is formed: few people ignore the question of style and taste, if we are talking about the main room of the house.In the future, they study the possibility of repeating the same interior styling in the bedroom and the nursery. Technical rooms most often remain in their usual functional form. The market offers standard sets in a modern style for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. Therefore, the stylistic or simply original decoration of these spaces will take much more effort. For the kitchen of a small country house, unconditionally the best option will be with a provincial or rustic design. At the same time, some of the things will not hurt to move to the basement to facilitate the interior of the house and thus get the missing options.
Hallway / hallway
The entrance room is filled with a small group of objects or with one large wall / organizer for clothes and shoes. In the hallway with stairs, rich lighting is organized. These are the basic design rules. An additional aspect is the consistency with the style of the living room or the entire housing as a whole. Select one color and texture for furniture. Ideally use the same furniture set. With a simple village house, the situation is simpler: they are repelled from functionality. Corridors and a passer-by are used to place bicycles, baskets with dirty clothes, pet beds. It does not hurt to select a group of things from each room for storage in the corridors. This is primarily about large or two-story houses. If there are additional square meters in the entrance room, a large sofa will not be superfluous - so that guests are more comfortable with shoes.
Living room
Here they use the English approach to design: conservatism, care, traditionalism. The atmosphere contrasts the pace of modern life. First of all, they select furniture: they are looking for a set with the correct shapes, rectangular and rounded, with rude features. Designers also allow color abundance, provided the "calm" shades. It is created using textiles.They add a lot of accessories with a preference for homemade products. The walls are finished in a simple manner, but at the same time, eclectic elements are used. So there is a mixture of simplicity with beauty and nostalgia. Non-natural materials are avoided: artificial stone, leather, textiles, wood. For "natural" options, these restrictions no longer apply. The interior must be supplemented with objects of decorative art. Buy items with national motives of any people.
Kitchen
Wherever the kitchen is located, in a rustic house, studio apartment or penthouse, it harmoniously looks in the style of the province. Walls can be finished independently with all the courage, because the provincial style welcomes slight negligence. Curtains buy thin, unremarkable, usually from chintz. Kitchenware is on display. Tabletops and aprons are loaded with objects with different shapes, colors, textures. Furniture size is an individual issue. There should be enough volume for new purchases and storage options. Some buy ready-made options, while others assemble furniture themselves from old raw materials. The interior will only get better if you add aged or scratched objects. The options for the kitchen do not end there. Often play on the opposition of all housing and kitchen facilities in particular. In other words, they use modern or technological design.
Bedroom
Bedrooms in small houses are designed in accordance with its exterior. We are talking about rustic comfort and charm, the same style. A plank floor is made in the room, wrought iron lamps, patchwork quilts, lace tulle and curtains are added to the interior. Genuine leather products will give the appearance of completeness. The listed elements of furnishings are also being introduced into the usual interior with a modern bed and wardrobes. The last version of the situation will be just the same. The walls are left rough or neatly finished with wallpaper.There will be a way a four-poster bed in a simple design without frills. At the same time, small elements of luxury will not interfere in the bedroom. Dark tones should be excluded from the color palette, but it is also worthwhile to make light variants of classic colors like brown and gray. For balance, be sure to add white to them.
Bathroom and toilet
When designing a bathroom, you can safely use imagination. We are talking about a sanitary room in the house itself, as street toilets and outdoor showers are finished as simply as possible. The bathrooms / toilets use tiles and panels, dark and light colors, and the design is customized to the general solution or contrasted with it. Practical devices and niches made of simple materials to accommodate a washing machine, washbasin and bathtub will not interfere. As for the features of the coating, the log interior will be an adequate replacement for tiles, mosaics and panels. Color contrasts, high-quality materials, mirrors, glass and rich lighting - components for the opposite, expensive option. Some residents refuse simple white plumbing in favor of exclusive options in gray or brown.
Russian stove or fireplace - how to design in a rustic style
The traditional Russian stove was previously considered the main attribute of the house. In some buildings they are still there, in others they were “crowded out” by fireplaces. Stoves are usually made in a rustic style, that is, in inexpressive colors, with an imperfect coating and the presence of natural materials. The Russian stove and its modern imitations are usually white. These are excellent "canvases" for painting. Flowers and motifs from the animal world are added to the drawings. Color painting has an alternative in the form of gzhel with blue and blue tones. The largest place on the stove is covered with straw and covered with a strong fabric, for example, canvas. The camera is decorated with two wooden doors.Samovars and utensils are placed on the surface, and bundles with dryers and onions are hung on the walls. Shelves for jugs, firewood storage chambers and hooks will not interfere.
How to make it yourself
We start with the surroundings. Add items from past eras: from antique furniture to archaic spinning wheels. We find watches with walkers, krynki and poker. Knowledge of carpentry is useful for creating home-made furniture. Otherwise, you can simply restore or remake old items. We work with a sewing machine: we sew bedding, potholders, curtains. We knit manually tablecloths, crochet napkins, multi-colored rugs and patchwork quilts. Using stencils or decoupage paint the furniture. To decorate stairs, headsets, tables, small objects of the interior, we collect compositions from stones and twigs. We make several hangers and other trifles from natural materials and various wastes. The interior of each room should be turned into something special with the help of small valuable things that are complex in their implementation.
In the summer, you can prepare dried flowers to collect bouquets from them.
Conclusion
The countryside has pros and cons: it has good ecology and a beautiful natural world, but there is no developed infrastructure. Old village houses have an unremarkable, sometimes clumsy appearance, and against the background of ordinary buildings they would have looked out of place. They are redone. At least in the presence of finance and free time. A more or less new one-story building is finished and decorated for one to two months. A house can be built from scratch for almost a year. Wooden erected quickly, and the brick with three floors and a basement takes a maximum period of time. In further construction give the necessary features. Many people like the original rural interior, soft and comfortable. Living rooms are then decorated with items of national economy. If possible, technical facilities are maintained in the same vein.Among the stylists, preference is given to provincial, Mediterranean, chalets, rustic and modern.
Those who want to be closer to nature go to country cottages or villages, and someone lives there permanently. Vegetation in small settlements grows larger, and houses are built smaller.
