Country houses are not usually intended for year-round use, but this does not mean at all that you can neglect the design of the premises. A country house, no matter what style it is decorated in, is characterized by thinner walls and independent heating and water supply systems.

Features of suburban buildings

The modern interior of a country house often resembles the design of city apartments. Today, house designs made of wooden materials are popular, although brick, cinder block and other building materials are no less often used.

The interior of the cottage may depend on the choice:

• wooden walls can be left unfinished, and you get rooms in a rustic style;
• for a country house made of panels, an interior in a modern style with the use of decorative plaster or paint is suitable;
• the interior of a country house made of brick or cinder block requires serious finishing work.

For any country house, you will need to prepare all the surfaces of the walls, ceiling and floor. This is ensured by a full range of rough work, which represents the leveling of surfaces, as well as their preparation for the application or installation of finishing materials.

Fireplaces, Russian stoves of a country house

The center of the interior of a country house are many designers or who are gaining popularity again, displacing the gas and electric systems that replaced them not so long ago.

Among the advantages of such heating, experts note:

• stoves and fireplaces look great in the interior of a country house in the living room, kitchen or bedroom;
• they can be decorated in a rustic style or give a modern look to the design;
• a fireplace can be made one of the design elements of a Russian stove for beauty, as well as efficient heating;
• such systems do not require gas or electricity, and fuel is cheap.

For the interior of a country house, a fireplace will be just an ideal option, as it becomes a practical element of the heating system, but also emphasizes the special atmosphere of a country dwelling. This is exactly the detail that the owners of city apartments cannot afford, because in the country the fireplace is very relevant.

Furnishing of premises

What is also typical for a country house is that they usually use old furniture for interior decoration, which is taken out after being replaced with a new one from a city apartment.

This imposes some features of the country interior:

• it represents a mixture of different styles in design;
• often people decorate the interior in the country with their own hands, make home-made furniture;
• the colorful and varied design belongs to the kitsch style, and the soft one is simply called country style.

Beds and homemade furniture

Another feature of the house in the country style is the need to arrange extra beds.

The interior of a country house is approached from the position of practicality in the first place, because the sofas are usually selected folding, with the ability to expand. This is required, since a lot of people periodically gather at the dacha, relatives and friends come for weekends or holidays.

Furniture in a variety of styles will fit into the decor of a country house, and it is acceptable to mix different styles to decorate the interiors of such a house. But wooden furniture looks best in the country, even if these are outdated options and models. It is only very important that the house is cozy and comfortable for everyone who lives in it from time to time, since the atmosphere should relax and help to relax.

Complementing the interior with handmade furniture

In a rustic style, a country interior does not require serious financial investments - this does not make sense, and is not rational.

If there is no old furniture that could be transported from the apartment to the country house, then you can try to make it yourself. Homemade structures in the house are also appropriate, including partitions or verandas.

Well-made furniture does not look good in every style:

• Provence is good for a bright and gentle country house;
• wooden structures look great with country style;
• rustic style allows you to combine any furniture options;
• very bright and unusual loft style for any premises;
• will be bright and free.

A modern interior for a summer residence can be decorated with wooden finishing materials or stone. The loft allows in places not to use finishing materials, since this is a feature of the style.

Planning, its features

On the plan of a small country house there may be only one room combined with a kitchen, and there may also be several rooms that are typical for a classic house for year-round use.

If you plan to regularly receive guests, then you should get a dining room. And if a small number of people are planned to stay at the dacha, then limit yourself to the minimum area.

Allowed to give:

• thin walls and partitions;
• lack of electric or gas heating;
• makeshift staircases and dining on the verandas.

Dachas are usually used in the summer, and therefore there is no need to ensure that the heating is sufficient for living in the winter. Although if you plan to spend winter holidays in the country, then you need to create independent heating.

designer stuff

The interior design of the dacha involves the use of a large number of decorative elements, including decorations from city apartments that have already gone out of fashion.

When a person does not have old things in stock, then an excellent move to decorate the house and revitalize the situation will be:

• flowers or artificial trees in massive tubs;
• light curtains combined with a lot of wood;
• semi-antique lamps or with a minimum of decorations.

Pictures or copies look great at the dachas. However, it is not recommended to store valuable canvases in dachas, because it is such housing that is more susceptible to attacks by thieves and marauders if it remains without owners for a long time. It's good when a country house is located on the territory of a protected village, but this is typical only for suburban villages near big cities. Otherwise, there is a great risk of robbery if the house is decorated with very valuable items.

Private house bathroom

For rustic decor, old-fashioned, outdated cast-iron bathtubs are used, mounted on large legs, often made in the form of animal paws. Often, and this is a great alternative to an outdoor summer shower and a rustic toilet.

If you have or plan to have children, then you should take care of stone or tile flooring. This will allow children to play without fear of getting the floor boards wet, as the wood can rot quite quickly from water and moisture.

Features of the design of the kitchen

The kitchen in a village house can be decorated in both modern and classic style, and wide windows in this room are of great importance - they save on lighting during the daytime, since bright sunlight enters the kitchen through the windows.

In this case, it is necessary to choose a furniture option for the kitchen from materials that are not afraid of not only moisture and pollution, but also direct sunlight. There are usually few lockers in the country kitchen, since the main part of the dishes is usually stored in permanent housing, and only the most necessary is located in the country house.

Bouquets of fresh or, or flowers in pots can freshen up the atmosphere. Still lifes in reality and in paintings also look good. Despite the fact that we are talking about a country country house, you should not give up modern household appliances, which can greatly facilitate the work of cooking and cleaning, so that the rest becomes complete, and household chores do not interfere.

Country houses outside

Country houses are great for spending time in in summer or spring, and garden plantings are usually placed in front of the building. Vegetable gardens with greenhouses are often taken out to the backyard, or even outside the courtyard. If there is space, then it will be relevant to install a pool or a pond with fountains and streams in the courtyard of the country house.

The paths to the house are laid out with decorative bricks or poured with concrete, and unpretentious flowers are planted along them, which do not require regular watering and care.

To facilitate the maintenance of the yard, special lawn grass covers can be used, and lighting can be made with built-in motion sensors.

Working on a summer cottage, planting vegetables and fruits, fertilizing the soil and pruning trees ... all this is a little exhausting and makes you think about rest. But we are not used to relaxing, and therefore we will spend our free time productively - we will decorate the facade of the country house and the site in an original way!

Of course, any country work distracts from the design of the site and buildings, but for this you also need to allocate time, because while we are digging, watering and harvesting, our country houses become old and dilapidated. Today we will correct the situation in the most unusual way - we will decorate the country house cheaply and cheerfully!!! And if we tell the truth at all, then the decoration will be truly exclusive.

You can decorate the facade of a country house at any time convenient for you. It's not work, it's pure pleasure. All you need is a little creativity and vivid fantasies. Of course, the options we have proposed will not be implemented in an hour or two, but you will be really pleased with the appearance of the house and garden!

Decoration of a country house with bottle caps

We talked for a long time about the use of plastic bottles in the country, examined and studied in detail the processes and objects from glass bottles, invented compositions from other inexpensive and improvised materials, but today we will talk with you about plastic bottle caps.

It would seem that ordinary garbage, which will not do anything. Okay, soda bottle, it can be a greenhouse, a small plant pot, an ashtray, or just a small water storage. But it turns out that the top of the bottle, namely the cap, can be useful in the country. The only thing that is bad is that it is very difficult to collect a sufficient amount of “working material”, especially if, after reading the article, you immediately want updates in your summer cottage ...

But nothing, all our problems are easily solved, and therefore we immediately move on to the main topic and learn how to decorate a country house with bottle caps!

Decorating the window of the house with lids

A little lower, in the photo, we have an old wooden house that needs to be repaired, but doing it is long and painful. If you have the same house in your country house, a summer kitchen or a shed that you don’t want to invest in, but you should upgrade for a long time, we suggest you follow us!

We start the warm spring season in the country with a good mood, and therefore we use bright-colored caps to decorate the facade and windows of the house. Fanta, cola, mineral water, sprite and lemonade, respectively, orange, red, blue, green and yellow caps. They are fixed on the surface of a wooden structure on small nails or self-tapping screws. Someone will use glue, but we will immediately warn you that this is not very practical on the street.

Light living drawing immediately changes the appearance of the house, and you spent only a couple of hours on decoration. Well, provided that you already had the caps!

Decoration of the facade of the house with lids

We will not re-sort the words and rewrite what is what, but simply point out that for such a pretty drawing the same caps from plastic bottles were used - from cola, water, beer, and other drinks.

A few small nails, the ability to draw beautiful flowers in large sizes, an hour of work, and you're done!

Decoration of the whole house with lids

Well, here the work is clearly not for an hour, and not even for a day. Agree, the whole picture, a miracle, a masterpiece and many more wonderful epithets.

An old country house is gradually turning into a new, bright and colorful one, which will now not only be looked at, but with envy.

Of course, there are several problems here - maintaining the correct and symmetrical pattern and ornament, as well as a huge number of plastic bottle caps. In the case of such a design, you will need to collect material for a long time, or even buy it from friends, relatives, neighbors in the country. But, if you conceive such a work, we only wish you good luck and inspiration!

Decorating the house with lids: another great project

We can't help but show you another creation. Unfortunately, we do not know its author. But he can clearly say that this is a very patient person who understands art and honors the ancient color and culture.

A very beautiful house, the decoration of which took thousands of bottle caps.

Garden cap decoration

As promised, we present you a couple of very nice items for the garden.

First of all, we have a very nice and bright snail, for the production of which you do not need to be specially distracted for a long time or use a complex tool. It is enough to set aside time for yourself at lunch or in the late afternoon, cut out the outline of a snail from plywood or plastic, take a couple of hundred caps from plastic bottles, and get down to business.

To make it easier to work, make yourself a small layout of the covers directly on the snail layout. Draw the course of the caps, some kind of drawing, roughly indicate the colors. As a result, you will get a garden figure that can be installed anywhere - in the garden, at the entrance to a house or courtyard, at the foot of an old tree, in a new flower bed made of car tires, and so on.

Country crafts continue to delight us, and next in line is a funny bird - a penguin from caps. Everything is traditional here - a layout made of a piece of plastic, plywood, fiberboard, thin OSB or even the remains of polycarbonate from a visor or greenhouse, as well as a couple of dozen covers.

Cut out the shape, place the lids on it, decorate with the colors and direction of the lids, create a new garden figure and install it on the summer cottage in any convenient place.

The same method can be used to make figurines of hares, foxes, parrots, wolves, turtles ... and anyone who suits your taste, even though they are cartoon characters from your favorite children's animation.

Painting the facade of a country house with paints

It is not easy to work with covers, but it is even more difficult to use paints to decorate the facade and walls of a country house. Here you need not only to be able to use paints, but to draw, to have talent or at least the desire to create.

In general, we recommend taking on such work only to those people who have already held a brush or pencil in their hands, and successfully. If not, but there is a desire to decorate the walls of the house with such masterpieces, look for talents among relatives or friends, and trust them with your buildings in the country for painting.

The process of decorating with paints requires some preparation, since the painting of a country house should be on a flat surface. If there is a mud hut on the site, it will be necessary to carry out plastering, puttying, grouting and priming the surface. If the surface is brick, then the walls also need to be plastered and leveled as much as possible. In general, any surface will have to be leveled, so we recommend that you think carefully about decorating the facade in this way (a few more original ideas).

As you can see, there are two problems here at once - the urgent need for a skilled artist and a "canvas" for his creations. If there is no possibility of painting under such conditions, it is better to refuse the option and consider others!

Complex decoration of the facade of the house in the country

If the previous options do not suit you, you can always make everything easier. You do not need to prepare surfaces, spend money on materials, look for unearthly talents and special paints, because it will be enough to dream up a little and collect all your positive things to decorate the facade.

Look at the image below. Agree, bright colors look very harmonious even on the brick surface of the wall. And how well the blue and pink colors are complemented by flower pots on the wall, flowerpots in the palisade, a green fence and an intricate bright figure ... it seems to us very beautiful, and most importantly, such a design really costs a penny.

Simple drawings on the walls of a country house

If you don’t want difficulties and don’t worry about how the walls of your house will look - draw on the walls yourself or even entrust creativity to children! In our next photo, everything is very simple, but at the same time, cute and pretty - a picture on the wall, without preparation and expensive paints, but also a real design of the territory - bottle crafts, log crafts, a light lawn and so on.

If you like this design - please, no one stops you, because the most important thing is that you update the site brightly and beautifully, while making it pleasant for yourself and your family!

Simple and inexpensive decoration of the facade of the house

But we have an even simpler method. It is suitable for people who need to decorate the walls, but there is not enough time and finances for expensive repairs or painting. To tell the truth, there are tens of thousands of us, and we are only glad that we can find a way out of any situation. Today, this is the way out - painting the walls of a wooden house with the remnants of paints, simple brushes, different colors - the main thing is to refresh, give colors and mood. And, you see, it turns out very well! This material will also become useful before the New Year holidays.

How to decorate a house with lids (video)

Provence is a style that came to us from Southern France, its name in French means "province". These are pastel shades, floral patterns, natural materials, textiles, lace, aged furniture and wrought iron beds. A style that is associated with rustic comfort and peace.

It seems to us that Provence is great for any country house, even if it is built thousands of kilometers from the south of France (in general, anywhere in Russia). So keep it.

2. Lining - it is practical and environmentally friendly

Classic wooden lining is inexpensive, durable, which is very often used for finishing summer cottages. It is easy to mount, it has good sound insulation and looks beautiful.

If you understand that the walls of the house have become completely dull, dirty and look unattractive, then you can sheathe them with clapboard in just a few days. In addition, manufacturers are constantly coming up with new lining configurations: eurolining (lining made of more expensive wood species), American lining (imitates overlapping boards), block house (imitates log masonry). You can sheathe the whole house, one room or one wall.

3. It is better to cover an old sofa with a cover or a large blanket

We are well aware that furniture that has expired in a city apartment is most often sent to the dacha. And old sofas and armchairs continue their life in a country house.

It will serve you for at least another 15 years. Order beautiful covers with an original pattern or buy a large blanket that can completely cover the sofa. Put a couple of bright pillows on top - and you will see how the country interior will change.

There are many easy ways to transform a sofa with your own hands, but the easiest way is to throw a bright blanket on it. Textiles from the online store will help to update the interior of the apartment without repairs and costs.

For sure, previously brought dust in the country house. Since in the Soviet Union things were treated with care, most likely, these carpets were preserved in good condition.

Take them to the dry cleaners and see how these carpets really look. Bright, beautiful - vintage!

5. Choose wooden furniture

If you are buying new furniture, such as a dining table or kitchen set, choose wood materials. Yes, it can be more expensive, but wooden furniture (to keep the shine) always fits into the country interior. Moreover, it is durable and environmentally friendly.

6. Update an old staircase

Believe me, the old staircase also deserves attention. Clean it, varnish it and think about how you can decorate the steps. For example, stick on each ladder (from the end) funny pictures, phrases or letters that make up a word. As an option - paint the stairs in different colors, let it look like a rainbow.

Another idea is to put a long carpet on the stairs.

7. Install a fake fireplace if you don't have a real one.

There must be a fireplace in the country house! Even if it's not there. Somehow we already wrote about. A universal solution is an electric fireplace or a decorative fireplace.

8. Hang new curtains

We can put old furniture in the country house, but let's not use shabby textiles. , lay a beautiful tablecloth - such small details really refresh the interior.

For summer, it is better to choose roller blinds from. Give preference to light shades, they refresh, fill the room with light and comfort.

9. Make a ladder shelf

Be original: decorate your home in a way that others won't decorate. For example, let the stepladder become an original rack or a convenient hanger. Put cute trinkets, photos, or casual clothes on it.

10. Make (order) a coffee table from logs / pallets

An original small table made of logs or construction pallets will perfectly fit into the interior of a country house. In the city, such a detail will look a little ridiculous, but within the walls of a village house it will be perfect.

A table from a pallet can be made in one day (taking into account the time for painting and drying), but you will have to tinker with logs: you will need a couple of dozen logs of the same height.

11. Pay attention to natural decorations

The easiest way to decorate a country house is with what is at hand. More precisely, those that can be found in the garden or in the nearest forest. An original piece of furniture can be a wreath of cones or a composition of dried flowers. Miracles of ingenuity are not needed here - everyone can come up with and make such simple decor elements.

11 ideas are 11 steps to get closer to the ideal place for a summer vacation. Let not only the weather please, but also the interior of the country house.

A creative man in the country - expanse! After all, here we can afford everything that we cannot afford in an apartment. It is there that the “decency” of the finish is important for us - but in the country and with paints in your hands you can fool around!

For example, the owner of this dacha painted the silhouette of a cat in the rays of sunset on the wall of the barn. Without his "picture" it would have been just a dull wall of a barn, otherwise a work of art.

You can also draw some picture on the wall of the house, outbuilding or on the fence. And if you don’t know how to draw, you can print a stencil and simply stamp the drawing with a foam sponge. For this you will need acrylic paints.

It is better if these are artistic acrylic paints, which are sold in art stores or in stationery. It is best to cover such a painting on top with acrylic varnish for outdoor use, and even more reliable - with alkyd yacht varnish, which protects even wooden boats from sea water.

If the surface is large, then you can buy acrylic paint for facades at a hardware store and mix the color of the desired color into it, which is also sold there. It will be less opaque than art acrylic, but it can also be used.

More options for wall decor in the country

The pallet left after the construction can be used for vertical gardening.

Another of the interesting ideas on how to decorate the wall of the house is to put vegetables on it. Again, double benefit!

Here is another option for home wall decor. The idea was filmed in the Thai border town of Chiang Kong, near Laos.

Boxes with greenery can be placed in a checkerboard pattern next to the wall. A fresh salad will be a nice tasty bonus to this decor.

Dull concrete walls can be made alive. To do this, it is enough to let the climbing plants along the trellises and make a waterfall with a pond.

Even from the inside, the room can be turned into a winter garden.

The creative scarecrow does not frighten, but affably plays the old guitar, sitting surrounded by green plants.

The entrance to the house can be made through a pond, islands-stones will be as a bridge.

Finishing the cottage: 4 budget ideas 2 times cheaper than usual

In our reality, large investments in the repair of summer cottages look quite unproductive. On the one hand, is it worth spending a lot on furnishing a home in which we spend several months at most? On the other hand, no one cancels the quite reasonable desire for a cozy place in their “country estate”.

If you are interested in simple materials and budget solutions that can ennoble and decorate your dacha, then this article is definitely for you. In it, I will analyze the main inexpensive ways of wall cladding and share several creative options for creating an original country interior.

Sheathing options

Today, the construction market offers many variations and a variety of materials that are ideal for finishing a country house. Among the rather impressive list, you can pick up something according to the preferences of the owner of the house and his financial capabilities.

clapboard

Lining is rightfully considered one of the most popular materials used for arranging summer cottages. The advantages of the panels speak for themselves. It:

• their pleasant aesthetic appearance, allowing you to imitate a variety of textures;
• affordable cost;
• high thermal insulation performance;
• ease of installation, which can be handled even without much experience in repair work;
• environmental friendliness of the material.

The interior decoration of a country house with clapboard is a great idea for those who value comfort and coziness above all else. By experimenting with textures and shades, owners will have a chance to create an unforgettable interior without spending a fortune.

What should be considered during the installation process?

1. A high-quality finish is possible only when using a wooden crate as a base.
2. If you want to insulate the walls of the house, you can put mineral wool, glass wool or expanded polystyrene into the frame.
3. Wooden slats for the base should be fixed either with nails or self-tapping screws.

I also want to note that lining can be a very inexpensive and practical answer to the question of how to decorate a change house for a country house.

Drywall

Drywall in popularity is not much inferior to lining. This is a versatile material used both for leveling walls or arranging interior spaces, and for decorating window slopes.

Drywall installation instructions are as follows:

1. The first step is to create a frame of metal or wooden slats. They are fixed to the wall with screws or self-tapping screws at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other.

1. After that, plasterboard plates are attached to the frame. The joints between the sheets are sealed with putty, then primed.

1. After about 6-8 hours (that's how much it takes to dry the primer), you can proceed to pasting or painting the walls.

Plywood

That's really what is fully consistent with the well-known phrase "cheap and cheerful." If you are thinking about how to finish the walls to make it as budget-friendly as possible, then plywood will come in handy. Such material allows the walls to “breathe”, it has good water resistance (so it can be used for lining the bathroom) and sound insulation.

In addition to such impressive advantages, I will attribute easy installation with my own hands, which can be handled by people who have never done repairs before. As a finishing touch, plywood can either be painted with bright paint or wallpapered over.

How to combine fantasy with lack of money?

Above, I examined the main finishing materials that accompany inexpensive repairs in the country. They will help to put the house in order, and they will solve the problem with light insulation. But what to do when the soul demands the continuation of the banquet and wants something beautiful in a small country house?

I will tell you how interesting it is to decorate a country house, while spending a minimum of money.

Idea 1. The whole world in colors

Considering the most popular options for decorating a room, it's hard not to mention the paint. This is one of the easiest ways to update the interior, which also allows you to experiment with colors and shades, is in great demand around the world. What do future painters-artists need to know?

We paint a tree or lining

1. If you want to give a rich color to a wooden surface or lining, but leave them with an interesting texture, get a translucent paint.

1. Exterior finishes should be decorated only with elastic paints that are not afraid of temperature changes (alkyd, oil). Inside the room can be painted with water-dispersed or water-based compositions. It makes sense to use more expensive silicate or silicone paints only in conditions of very high humidity.

In the photo - an example when the paint only emphasizes the richness of the texture

1. Wall decoration inside before painting should be good, thanks to this, paint consumption will be significantly reduced.
2. If after the winter there is a strong feeling of dampness in the house, do not rush to wield a brush or roller. To begin with, you should thoroughly dry the room (with a building hair dryer or a heat gun, for example).

1. Definitely do not even try to paint over places where foci of rot and mold are firmly entrenched.. Believe me, after the repair work, the fungus will simply continue to destroy the coating. So first get rid of the mold, dry the surface, sand it with sandpaper, treat it with an antiseptic and only then paint it.

Save yourself a little time and do everything as required. Believe me, the result will be worth it.

We paint plaster or drywall

To give plastered or plasterboard walls a more sophisticated look, you can use acrylic water-based paint.

• For better adhesion of paint to the surface, do not spare the primer. In extreme cases (but only in the most extreme), you can use a soapy solution instead, which needs to remove grease and dust from the walls. But still, try to get a primer - with it the result will be more effective and reliable.

• If there are small cracks on the surface and there is no plaster, it is worth resorting to the help of paint with a latex filler. It can hide cracks up to 2 mm in size.
• Do not be afraid of the most "impractical" color in the interior - white. Firstly, white paint is the cheapest, and secondly, any object will look bright and stylish on a light background. In addition, it will contribute to the visual increase in the room.

Idea 2. Wallpaper to be or not to be?

Wallpaper in the country is not only not uncommon, but the most popular type of decor. How to deal with them in the process of repair? I'll consider two possible options:

1. When the old wallpaper began to peel off a little - do not rush to tear them off (unless you definitely decided to change the situation). If they peel off in whole canvases, then there is nothing to do, and you will have to remove everything and glue new ones. In the case when the canvas peels off only at the joints and in the corners, it is better to just carefully glue everything.

To keep the canvas stronger, add ordinary PVA glue to the wallpaper glue (in a ratio of 1 to 6).

1. You have long decided to change the annoying pattern, only in some areas the wallpaper stuck as if tightly. Through a piece of wet fabric, run an iron over them, so the material will be easier to remove.

For those who are thinking about wallpapering in a country house, I will suggest a few tricks to save money:

• look in the pantry for the wallpaper left over from the last repair (some trimmings will definitely remain), ask relatives and friends about the same. As a result, you will be able to collect material for the original patchwork decor. Paste the wall in the room with scraps with different patterns and enjoy the unusual result;

Thus, you can decorate only one wall, otherwise it will come out too colorful. For others, painting or wallpaper in neutral shades is fine.

• most often in specialized stores you can find baskets with the so-called "sale" wallpaper, left over from unsold collections of one or two rolls. The price of their much standard range, you just have to pick up and combine several models in color and texture;

• interior decoration of a country house is primarily associated with the cheapest paper wallpaper. Well, for one or two seasons, they will fit the wave. After the allotted time, their appearance will be far from the original.

I would still advise you to resort to the help of two-layer paper wallpapers - the difference in price is not so noticeable, but they last longer.

To save money, do not choose wallpaper with a large pattern. Due to the fact that you have to adjust the details of the picture, there will be more waste. The ideal option is a small abstract pattern.

Idea 3. Not Italian, but still tiles

Tile is another worthy material for budget repairs. I'm not talking about Italian ceramics, there are many cheaper examples in stores. Again, you have at least 2 options:

• buy the required number of tiles and decorate the kitchen or even the summer shower inside with it;
• again, scrape through the barrel and decorate the selected surface in the patchwork style from the remains found.

Idea 4. Reminder from the past - wall newspaper

An even cheaper replacement for wallpaper can be (so you think) ordinary newspaper strips. Glue them like a regular paper coating, and open them with varnish on top. The main advantage of this option is that over time it will look even more interesting and atmospheric.

By the same principle, you can use old geographical maps or book pages (although I don’t approve of the second option).

Additional options

If you think that I have finished listing all sorts of inexpensive ways to design a summer residence, then you are mistaken. I have a few more interesting ideas left in my head:

1. Perforated convenience. A couple of perforated metal sheets are a great way to conveniently store pans and knives in the country. If at the same time they also close the bumps on the wall, so much the better.

1. We don't throw away boxes. A few old drawers attached to the wall can create a fairly roomy and comfortable shelving unit. Both practical and useful for decoration!
2. Nowhere without textiles. Another simple way to hide flaws in wall decoration is to cover it with a large panel of beautiful fabric, felt or cork roll (depending on what you find in the pantry).

I tried to find for you the most interesting and inexpensive options for arranging a summer house, even more ideas are contained in the video in this article.

Afterword

If you have a crisis of ideas, and you don’t know how to decorate the walls in the country, then I hope my article will be useful to you. I gave an example of the main finishing materials used to equip a country house, and suggested several ways to decorate it.
