People in the modern world are increasingly trying to pay more attention to their health choosing environmentally friendly things for interior design ideas. Unfortunately, in the current construction market, there is a predominant majority of finishing materials that are not environmentally friendly, containing ingredients that are considered dangerous to human health.
As a consequence, the most popular types of interiors today are those containing environmentally friendly materials, and the most popular of them is natural wood. That is why many designers recommend focusing on wood as the best environmentally friendly natural material for house decoration.
Positive sides of inside house decoration with the wood
It can be used for walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and staircases. Decorating the house inside with the wood is usually done on a pre-mounted crate, on top of a heat-insulating and sound-insulating layer. The material obtained from ecologically pure areas used for growing trees is especially clean and natural. It is possible to create a special healthy microclimate that promotes the normalization of all processes of human life activity when using it as an interior decoration of modern house design.
In this respect, the decoration inside the house with wood is qualitatively different from the use of various artificial materials, often emitting volatile harmful substances. Some types of wood contribute to the neutralization of harmful toxins and microorganisms while taking excess moisture from the air, reducing the dampness in the house.
What kind of wood to choose
The choice of the most suitable sort of wood is very important because the performance characteristics of different types of wood can vary. In general, all wood is divided into two large groups:
- coniferous;
- deciduous
Among coniferous species, the wood of pine, spruce, cedar, larch, and mahogany is most often used. The rooms with high humidity (baths, saunas, bathrooms) are the most suitable areas of its application. Hardwood materials from oak, maple, lime, ash, walnut are mainly used in the interior house design. The rooms decorated that way should have good ventilation and low humidity.
