The design of living space with the participation of natural materials minimally processed and preserving their original appearance is a new trend in design. Eco-style is gaining more and more popularity, attracting lovers of everything natural and at the same time unusual. Such a breakthrough in modern design can be considered both unexpected and taken for granted. For example, decoration with the use of wood cuts of the interior is attractive, allows the homeowner to feel the atmosphere of wildlife.
Material benefits
Saws are flat, transversely divided plates, each of which is distinguished by its unique pattern. On the section, annual lines are clearly visible, enclosed in rings and determining the age of the tree. All of them are unique in their own way, and the finished finish from them looks stylish and even very modern.
For the manufacture of slices, not only trunks are suitable, but also branches of various diameters. Round wood cuts are used to finish the surface of the floor and wall. In the work, such a material is similar to ceramic tile, but it is laid out much easier. There is no need to pay too much attention to the seams, it is enough to ensure that voids do not form. The numerous advantages of the material include:
- durability;
- high aesthetics and beauty;
- environmental friendliness;
- availability;
- simplicity in handling and care:
- the presence of thermal insulation properties;
- low financial costs;
- individuality;
- a variety of shapes, shades and sizes;
- multifaceted range of applications.
With proper processing of wood, the finish will serve for a long time, it will not be constantly exposed to mechanical damage, moisture and insect pests. Species of trees are usually chosen as follows: fir, birch, oak, pine, ash, spruce. You can use other types, this is not important.
Multifaceted art
Wooden blanks can be used both as standalone elements and in compositions. They can serve as finishing materials, as well as become parts of furniture. Due to the different thickness and diameter of the plates, interesting crafts are made from them. Wood cuts make accessories, decorations, panels, paintings, wall clocks, kitchen utensils, countertops, original figures for a children's room. Various fragmentary decorations are laid out taking into account the general concept of the interior. If, for example, the panel looks alien, then you need to arrange it in a frame. And even better - to add several wooden elements made in the same style to the design of the room.
Using wood cuts for decor is as original as it is impressive. You can create a unique interior without the participation of hired workers. This is within the power of everyone, and so you will receive deep satisfaction from the influx of your own fantasies.
The most popular trend in this type of design is the “overturn wall” layout, or the woodpile effect. It looks as if real log blocks have been laid in any area of the room. In this technique, a part of the surface or a completely one wall is decorated. Such decor next to the fireplace will look especially beautiful.
Preparatory work
It is important to think in advance the styling procedure and the design idea itself. Wood cuts in the interior are most in harmony with the eco-style, hunting or village trends. However, if you combine them correctly with the rest of the walls, furniture, colors, you can create a single ensemble of space. For example, the decor at the head of the bed and several accessories made of wood will fit perfectly into any style.
Walls for masonry dies should be perfectly flat. Therefore, they should be prepared in advance. Wood cuts for decoration need to be sanded, impregnated with a flame retardant or antiseptic. To free them from the bark or not depends on the design idea.
Wall layout
To work, you will need wooden billets themselves, glue, varnish and stain (or paint). If you plan to partially lay out the wall, then you need to highlight the outline of the finish. Elements are sequentially fixed on the base, leaving spaces in case of swelling of the wood, due to increased humidity in the room. Their thickness does not matter, in a similar technique curvature, natural flaws and uneven surfaces are welcome.
All the same, the finished finish should be sanded, impregnated with a special pest protection agent. And to give the effect of completeness and aesthetic appearance, you need to apply a layer of stain and cover the wall with varnish, or you can paint.
The glue must be chosen high-quality, with enhanced fixing properties so that it can hold the dies well. For maximum fixation, the walls are cleaned of foreign small grains and dust.
Round Dice Floor
Finishing the floor compared to the wall requires a more professional approach. Roughnesses and roughness are unacceptable here, because on this surface you will have to move around and place furniture and other necessary attributes on it. Used in the manufacture of plates exclusively tree trunks. It is necessary to choose only hard breeds of plants, since wood must be of high quality. Given the heavy load, the slices are made strong, thick. To make the floor from wood cuts durable and attractive, you must follow the following rules when working:
- Fixing agent must be cement mortar with the addition of glue. You can purchase a special tool at a hardware store.
- It is necessary to align the base and pre-lay the elements in a separate area of the floor to see how smooth the surface will be, all the dies should be adjusted to one plane.
- The working surface is ground to a smooth state, during installation it will have to be constantly adjusted.
- When laying wooden blanks, it is important to avoid differences and irregularities, constantly monitor the level.
- The floor is impregnated with means to protect against insects and fungi, then covered with stain and varnish.
- You can apply bulk technology. True, it will be practically impossible to dismantle such a manual masterpiece. The gaps between the slices in this case are filled with a transparent composition.
Panel
The panel made of wood cuts is a kind of abstraction made of blanks with different shades, sizes and textures. This is not just decoration, it can be called a kind of picture, a masterpiece that has a clearly defined focus.
It is desirable that it be made of crude material, which is characterized by natural defects - the presence of knots, cracks. The product will turn out more expressive if bark is left on it. Such a composition requires additional elements in the form of twigs, pieces of wood or stumps.
Wood cuts for decor in this case are processed only from the side that will be attached to the base. You must immediately determine the configuration of the picture, create a sketch. The boundaries of the substrate onto which the dies are fixed can also serve as contours of future abstraction. The finished work is often framed by a frame, but this is in the case if it has the correct, even forms. Then the panel is attached to the wall. When an option with a border is selected, it must be made neutral.
Little table
The original table made of wood saw is made both from solid material and using modules. It is necessary to proceed from what raw materials are available, and from financial opportunities. Whatever material is chosen, the product from it will turn out to be reliable and durable.
For the manufacture of a massive piece of kitchen furniture, sawed wood must be produced in a horizontal direction. So the countertop will turn out whole and the table will look more colorful. If there are cracks on it, they are poured with epoxy. Such a tool is transparent or tinted. As legs, you can choose with intricate forms of stumps and fix them on the underside of the countertop. The finished attribute is processed using the technology described above.
A tabletop made of wood cuts for a coffee table is created either on a rectangular basis, or from one vertical frame. The first option uses mixed media. The plates are distributed on a solid basis as when creating panels. Meanwhile, the surface of the table should be adjusted and polished to perfect condition.
Stools
For the manufacture of stools, modular elements are used. These are almost the same cuts that are used in the design of the walls, but larger in size. The stool is a metal frame with a transverse layer of wood. The parameters of the latter material should be sufficient so that you can sit freely on a wooden log house. Such products can be very different in design and type of auxiliary materials. It would be nice to make blanks for stools from tree trunks with wavy contours. Products from them are very beautiful.
Drawings
Wood painting is a new trend in art, reflecting a person’s craving for wildlife. Drawings on wood cuts made by creative personalities seem to come to life. If you are not without such a gift, then try yourself in this form of art.
To work, you need to prepare: medium-sized saw cuts, emery and sticky paper, brushes, acrylic paints, varnish and primer.
At first the surface is leveled and well polished, after which it is covered with a primer. The edges of the die must first be protected with adhesive paper, so that as a result the work is enclosed in a natural, wooden frame. When the first coat is dry, apply again. Acrylic primer is used to create a white background. After the surface dries, you can begin to art. The contours of the drawing are applied with a simple pencil, then everything is decorated with colored paints and fixed with varnish.
