Reiki in the interior: which is better to choose + a selection of photos

Pros and cons

Before proceeding with the selection of rails, study the pros and cons:

Which slats are better to choose?

Before installing wooden battens on the wall in the interior, you must select the material from which they will be made.

• Pine - the most inexpensive and affordable wood. It is rarely affected by fungus or insects. However, the preparation will have to tinker with: pine requires impregnation from moisture and alkali treatment before applying varnish.
• Beech is more expensive, but stronger than pine. Of the disadvantages is the possibility of decay, therefore, requires processing with a special composition.
• Oak is a durable and strong, but at the same time expensive elite breed. The oak massif is resistant to moisture, insects and mold, therefore, surface treatment will be sufficient for it.
• MDF with veneer is a strong and non-deformable alternative. Due to the glue in the composition, such a material is not the most environmentally friendly. In addition, even veneered MDF looks different from natural wood.
• Metal is the most durable option of all. It is more expensive than wood and is less common. It can be of any color, including with imitation of a tree structure. Gray painted lamellas look great in the interior in the style of minimalism and hi-tech, black in the loft, white in scandi, and colored in modern or provence.

Bars can be of any width and thickness. The size of the section is selected based on the goals and sizes of the room: the smaller the room, the thinner the boards should be and vice versa.

Tip: spliced ​​wooden buffels are practically not deformed, and in terms of environmental friendliness and beauty they are not inferior to solid ones.

Use cases

There are many options for using wooden battens: to emphasize, to decorate the ceiling, to zone a spacious room, to protect the staircase.

Wall decoration with decorative battens

In the living room, wall slats are mounted behind the sofa or opposite it, in the bedroom they can serve as the head, and in the kitchen - highlight the dining area.

Decorative slats are installed in two ways: on glue or on the frame. The first option is suitable if the panel is used as decoration and furniture and appliances will not be mounted on it. Step-by-step instruction:

1. Treat the wall with a mold primer, apply a decorative coating.
2. Saw boards 1 cm smaller than necessary for free expansion of the tree.
3. Coat the lamellas with a protective compound, paint or stain.
4. Apply glue to the lamellas, attach.

2. Collect the crate from the bars and treat with a protective compound.
3. Saw off the bars in size, process them.
4. Attach the buffels to the crate with screws or nails.
5. Paint or stain the finished structure.

Decoration ceiling

Decorating the ceiling with buffers allows you to hide irregularities, hide wiring and simplify the installation of fixtures. In addition, such an original finish changes the geometry of the room. If you place the boards across in a narrow room, it will become wider.

The installation procedure for the ceiling is the same as described above: surface and wood processing, installation of the lathing, fastening of the rails themselves.

Zoning the room with slats

Wooden partitions are the best suited for zoning through the space: they transmit light, while separating one part of the room from another. With the help of decorative slats, you can separate the kitchen and dining room, highlight an office or bedroom in the studio, and distinguish between a bath and a toilet.

How do they look in the interior?

A lot of completed projects show that buffels are an excellent solution for decorating apartments and houses. We have selected options for decorating the wall with slats and photos of these interiors.

Reiki in the interior of the living room

In the interior of the living room, rails are installed on the wall or used for zoning.

Shelves, paintings, flower pots are attached to the sheathed wall behind the sofa or left empty. If opposite the sofa - hang the TV, and hide the wires between the lamellas themselves.

Reiki in the interior of the kitchen

The best place for buffels in the kitchen is the dining area. The rack wall draws attention and highlights the area of ​​food intake - whether it is a dining table or a bar counter. The rails with built-in backlight, slightly extending to the ceiling, look advantageous.

Reiki in the bedroom interior

Professional designers like to use boards at the head of the bed - at the same time they can cover the entire wall, or you can create a structure along the width of the bed. Both options look stylish.

If you are against classical solutions and forms in the interior - set the buffers asymmetrically, on one side only.
