How We Updated an Outdated Interior in a Wooden House

Designer Regina Bikbulatova updated the interior of a log cabin in Ufa, which the clients purchased together with furniture and furnishings. They wanted to breathe new life into a rather dull interior, so they kept only the walls and their color, while replacing the furniture and textiles. We tell you the details of the renovation.

Kitchen

The owners rarely cook at home and don't like kitchen appliances to be visible. Therefore, the designer hid all accessories in cabinets. The dish dryer was placed at the bottom in a pull-out cabinet to the right of the sink.

Another wish was not to make a "backsplash." The logs were left as is and treated with clear lacquer so that they can be maintained. To avoid overloading the kitchen cabinet, they opted out of upper corner cabinets and instead installed shelves for beautiful plates.

A beautiful mirror appeared on the kitchen wall: reminding of the sun, it became a symbol of the project. The sun symbolizes vitality, passion, courage, and eternal youth.

Living Room

The goal was to create a cozy space where one can completely detach after a noisy workday. The layout on the first floor remained unchanged. The color of the log walls was not touched, only the ceilings and floors were changed. Since the ceiling in this house is low, they opted out of a chandelier in the living room and used technical lighting instead.

Bathroom

A gypsum board partition was added in the bathroom to separate all utilities and the washing machine from the main area. A base made of GKL was built for the shower to adhere tiles.

Bedroom

The second floor is a mansard, which was divided into two zones: a bedroom and a wardrobe. The role of the walls is played by built-in wardrobes. The ceiling was painted white, making the space brighter.

In the bedroom zone, the headboard of the bed and a wall are made of a soft panel covered with English fabric Designers Guild, which was specially ordered for this project. Almost all furniture in the interior was custom-made.

Guest Room

In the guest room, the furniture was changed and the ceiling repainted. For more comfort, a handmade wool rug was laid down – it fit perfectly into the space.
