Finishing a bathroom with wood: rules and options

Wood is a natural material, color, texture, the warmth of which will always be in fashion. And if you are difficult in making decisions regarding the decoration of the space, refer to it, a compromise and democratic tree. This option will make even the bathroom stylish and at the same time cozy.

The choice of materials is the main requirement for future design. Finishing the bathroom should not go into a run with indicators such as a high level of moisture resistance, deformation coefficient, resistance to damage by fungus.

When all the basic parameters are taken into account, think about the design. Bathroom and wood are a completely original combination, but if you overdo it a little, it will be artsy.

Why a tree is a great choice.

• From the point of view of environmental friendliness, this material is simply ideal, in wet rooms this criterion is especially important. Since walls and other surfaces there undergo jumps in humidity and temperature, environmental friendliness becomes an important requirement. A tree in such conditions will not emit toxic substances, which cannot be said about many other finishing materials.
• Appearance - comfort and warmth are the unshakable companions of wooden finishes. Finally, tiles and tiles could get bored, because such a change of scenery is also a comfortable solution for those who want serious visual changes.

The most optimal species for finishing the bathroom can be considered ash, oak and elm.But if you think that moisture resistance needs to be improved, turn to bamboo, cork, merbau, cedar, larch, beech.

Another rather popular option is installation of lining in the bathroom. This is the material that allows you to visually adjust the footage and perception of the room. If you decide to arrange the panels vertically, you get the feeling of a higher ceiling, if you horizontally - visually “expand” the walls.

As a floor covering, parquet or board is usually used. The best option is three-layer parquet board. Multilevel processing of the material makes it durable. And it’s easy to mount such a board.

Wall decoration options:

• wooden lining;
• veneered boards;
• array (or solid boards);
• glued boards.

If the main selection criterion for you is the ease of installation (for example, you have to do the repair yourself), it’s better not to find the lining. Mounting it is simple, although you will have to use a frame that slightly reduces the footage of the bathroom.

Excellent resistance to moisture and the glued board: several layers of wood glued together, gives the material a special strength. But if you are looking for the most environmentally friendly of all possible options, then this, of course, is an array.

Many are accustomed to the fact that the standard interior solution is a white bathroom, a little less often - gray. If you don’t want to abandon the “classics of the genre”, leave your favorite color, diluting it with wood elements. Literally 2 not very large wooden inserts transform the space. Complement it with decorative elements in the style of boho, and you will create a completely new image of the bathroom.

The compatibility of the two interior components depends on the specific wood species. Lighting plays a significant role, and if there is a window in your bathroom, this is also taken into account. If you take breeds with large “drawings” of the wood texture, red or dark design can make the room more expressive.

If the size of the bathroom is small, or you are against such striking decisions, there are many other options.

• Stone + wood. This combination has been tested for centuries in many combinations, in a variety of interiors. It’s great if the texture will contrast, for example - a wooden smooth surface and a rough, slightly rough stone. If the stone is polished, take textured wood with an expressive structure.

• Ceramic tile + wood. Modern smooth tiles can make friends with natural wood. If the surfaces are the same, it makes the interior heavier, and if so different, it acquires a dynamic that is beneficial to itself.

• Glass panels + wood. The bathroom in this combination will look more interesting and spectacular. Glass panels emphasize the beauty of wood, and overall the interior will look more elegant.

Try to get away from rude decisions. Concrete, laminate can be considered as such. By the way, if you want to spoil the interior, combine real material and its imitation in it: for example, wood and laminate.

The easiest way - varnishing. Local varieties of wood and exotic can also be varnished. Try to get a varnish with pronounced water-repellent properties. The film of such a varnish does not move away from the surface, does not give cracks, which will extend the life of the wood. The optimal period for repeated varnishing is 5-7 years.

Other options.

• Oil coating. Oil fills even the smallest gaps, but such efficiency is overshadowed by a whole list of minuses. Firstly, the tree will fade over time, and secondly, it must be saturated with oil regularly. And the tree will look darker after oil impregnation.
• Toning. In a certain sense, this is also protection, but it is usually used to imitate the color of a valuable tree species. Recommended tinting once every 2.5 years.

• Option for a private home. It has a bit of a Nordic style, a little relevant today is simplicity, a craving for the lack of noticeable embellishment. In such a room it will really be warm, pleasant, comfortable. And the risk of injury is much less than in a normal bathroom.

• Ascetic, but not without grace. If for someone this option becomes gloomy, then it will seem ideal to another person. For those who love clarity, poise, lack of decor, it is suitable for sure.

• There is noir in this, and sad moods, and at the same time, the style and accuracy of transmission that come to the forefront. If you are tired of bathrooms that are similar to operating rooms, take a look at such solutions.

• This bathroom is in a wooden house, but the idea, in principle, can be taken to equip the bathroom in the apartment. The combination of colors is very competent. A gray bath with stone and wood always looks profitable.

• Here, a decorative wall is decorated with wood. Perhaps the owners did not make a complete repair, but changed only part of the space. And such a change, of course, revived him.

• One of the classic examples of the introduction of wood as a material in the design of the bathroom. Note that the space is small, but it is very profitable and proportionately accurately designed. By the way, instead of a real window, you can build a fake window.

• An example of a luxurious bathroom in a private house. This is a real spa at home. Successful geometry, selection of materials, choice of decor. Greens are very appropriate here.

• Very nice and relatively simple bathroom, decorated with clapboard. There is nothing superfluous, the eye rests, the soul rejoices. At least the picture evokes just such associations.

• And another option with a lining, from which it blows a pleasant freshness. The tree here is painted, but it can also be a good idea.

• Bright, clean, comfortable option. White wood, tiles, competent selection of elements that together form a single space.

• A chic white bathtub with concrete and wood is a separate world in the house that inspires relaxation, relaxation and comfort.
