Today we will talk about fashion trends in men's hunting lodges 2021 2022 and how best to furnish a small hunting lodge.
Design of men's hunting country houses 2021 2022
As a building for a hunting house, you must choose a log house or a structure made of timber. All elements must be massive and perform both decorative and practical functions. The main feature of the men's hunting interior is the high ceilings with log beams. Small chandeliers will get lost in such a space, so you need to buy large metal shades and bulky lamps.
Roof
A hut in the taiga can have either a single or double roof with an attic. Single - it is done faster and easier, but with an attic it is many times more convenient and practical. Firstly, the hut becomes many times warmer, and secondly, additional space appears for storing various things and supplies. In the warm season, you can dry hay and all sorts of herbs there. The roof is made as follows. First, the ceiling is laid out of shingles. The cracks between the boards are lined with moss. You can sprinkle it with earth on top or cover it with plastic wrap. Next, in front and behind the hut, two supports are attached to the top, the ridge rests on them and on the sides, two or three on each side. Then we cover the entire structure with shingles, we also caulk the cracks with moss, there is no need to spare the moss, and on top everything is covered with plastic film. It is not heavy and you can take it with you in sufficient quantity.
Interior colors for men's hunting country houses 2021 2022
Men's hunting country houses 2021 2022 are reminiscent of autumn in their color scheme, because this time of year is considered to be the hunting season. All shades of red, ocher, red, yellow and other colors of fallen leaves are perfect for the interior. Warm colors are associated with home and comfort, which makes a country house a family place. However, to prevent your home from looking dark, you need to remember some rules:
- For walls and ceilings, it is best to choose pastel colors: cream, vanilla. The combination of light and dark using wooden panels looks good.
- If the interior of your home is dark, then lamps and shades will help brighten your home. You can install a range of light bulbs or use local lighting.
- Use a cage in the interior that combines both light and dark colors. The Scottish style will fit perfectly with the hunting design of the house and will visually brighten the room.
Laying the log house
So, let's start laying the frame of the future hut in the taiga. The first crown can be placed directly on the ground, but it will be much safer to dig a depression of about fifty centimeters around the perimeter and fill it two-thirds with small stones. Compact the stones and place the first crown on top. For the first 2-3 crowns it is better to use thicker logs. Before laying, the logs must be cleared of bark. There are several ways to lay logs. The most famous are cutting into the paw, into the bowl and into half a tree. The easiest way to build a hut in the taiga is to cut half a tree. In this case, grooves in the logs are not made at the corners, but simply the floor of the log is removed, and a treated trunk is placed on top in the same way. Here you can also drill a hole in the logs and additionally secure them with a wooden spike. Chopping into a bowl looks a little more complicated. In this case, a transverse hollow is hollowed out in the upper log, with which it lies transversely on the lower log. If desired, you can also strengthen the logs with spikes, but this is no longer so necessary, since the crowns themselves turn out to be well secured. Well, the last method is cutting in the paw. This is the most difficult method and without some carpentry training a beginner will not be able to do it. By the way, in places where there will be windows and a door, despite the longitudinal hollow in the logs, it is imperative to strengthen the joints with wooden spikes. Since in most cases, hunting lodges are built from raw wood, in order to avoid significant deformation of the walls after drying, it is advisable, despite the type of log house, to additionally strengthen the logs with spikes. Well, with the walls it’s more or less clear. But there are also windows, doors, floor, ceiling and roof. Building a hut in the taiga without boards is possible, but it will not be quite a hut. Where can you get boards in the forest? Don't carry it with you. You'll have to make them yourself.
Materials for men's hunting country houses 2021 2022
As we have already said, the hunting interior involves the use of natural materials such as wood, metal, animal skins and other natural elements. Note that decorating walls with stone and wood makes the interior more expensive and luxurious.
A tapestry would be an excellent decorative element for a hunting house. Paintings depicting hunting, autumn colors and soft fabrics will add a special chic to the room. As for furniture, preference should be given to natural fabrics and simple shapes. Skip the intricate curves of the Baroque style and opt for simple geometry.
Bathhouse interior design: arrangement options
The bathhouse is the main component of Russian cultural heritage. This room and the procedures in it initially served only to satisfy human hygiene needs. Treatments for various ailments were also carried out in the steam room. This approach to treatment is still practiced today. Many people resort to it, because with the help of a steam room you can restore the functioning of the nervous system and strength. The design of the first steam rooms was heavily influenced by the harsh winters our ancestors experienced, so low doors, small windows and high thresholds were used to retain as much heat as possible.
How to furnish a hunting lodge
Traditionally, the central place in a hunting house is occupied by a fireplace. It can be real or decorative. The large space of the room should be filled with massive furniture in bright colors. Red leather harmonizes especially effectively with wood, so we recommend choosing it as furniture upholstery. There must be a carpet on the floor in a country house. It may have a pattern or be made from animal hair. In the bedroom, it is best to use softer colors and details. Pastel set in patchwork style.
Mice and larger animals
The hut must be equipped with a tightly closed door, locked from the inside, to prevent free access for wild animals. Also, inside the ceiling there should be hooks for hanging supplies, since if you place them on shelves or hang them on the wall, you risk losing everything, since mice are excellent acrobats, and in this case they can easily get to the food. To catch mice, you can use one and a half liter plastic bottles. They need to be strengthened at an angle near the corner and the wall with the neck up. The mouse will definitely get inside the bottle, but will not be able to get out back.
Kitchen in a hunting lodge
The kitchen in a men's country hunting house should be equipped with all modern appliances, but at the same time be in harmony with the overall interior. Deliberately use “aged” facades and hide the dishwasher and other delights of the modern world in cabinets. Don't forget about a cozy rug and stylized tableware.
EXTERIOR DESIGN OF THE BATH
The construction of baths was adopted near bodies of water and outside the courtyard. This was justified by the fact that a person who had just left the steam room could plunge into the water and cool down. This was a great find, because in those days there was no trace of running water. As for the frequency of taking water procedures, it is also worth noting an interesting feature: sometimes there was only one bathhouse for the whole street, or the whole family used it, but only on certain days.
Today, the situation with the construction of this structure has become much simpler and many homeowners are building a bathhouse on their plot of land or even making a sauna in their city apartment. Since the bathhouse has long been associated with a healthy lifestyle, its construction has become mandatory for the owners of every summer cottage, who consider themselves to be among the people who want to improve their health and have a good time. The peculiarity of the construction of modern baths is that they are never taken outside the boundaries of their own site. Thanks to this, it turns out that the owners of the site have the opportunity to make a compact structure even on 2 floors, which was structurally impossible for our ancestors.
The bathhouse should always have a high base to prevent freezing and flooding. To create it, you can use both natural and artificial stone. The walls are always made of solid timber or logs. A very important detail in this case is the availability of an opportunity to view the natural beauties among which the building is located.
Love for detail in men's hunting country houses 2021 2022
The success of every project lies in the details. When creating the interior of a house in a hunting style, do not forget about the little things that are fundamental. The most characteristic decor for this style is the use of stuffed animals. You can also decorate your home with weapons, candelabra, crockery and other antiques. Don't forget about the rocking chair, which will add coziness to the room.
POOL
Representatives of the older generation still remember well that after a bath it is good to dive into the river. However, many of the current baths do not have their own reservoir with running water, so the owners of such premises build themselves a pool. It can be either indoors, in the washing area, or outside.
Also, the pool can occupy the entire central part of the room and can be decorated with attractive sides. The non-standard shape of the pool will also be a pleasant visual component. To consolidate the created visual effect, it is worth placing blue tiles at the bottom of the structure, and laying the walls in tiles of lighter shades. Glass partitions would also be appropriate here.
A bathhouse with a swimming pool outside can be decorated in a modern style of a combined space. At the same time, the pool is an excellent opportunity to divide it into a steam room area, a relaxation area and a gazebo area. For an additional effect, you can glaze the roof so you can see sidereal time while swimming.
ATTIC
If the bathhouse is not limited to one floor, then this significantly expands the design possibilities. In this case, on the second floor you can arrange not only rooms where you can steam, but also living rooms. At the same time, on the ground floor there will be a steam room, a washroom, a kitchen and a locker room with a dressing room. The second floor can also accommodate a gym, game room, additional recreation room or other leisure space.
Arrangement of a bath complex is also possible in the attic. A staircase with railings is installed especially for this purpose and the room is insulated. The staircase in this design plays a very important role, because prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can lead to unpleasant consequences in the form of loss of concentration. That is why steps must be made of several materials or have non-slip pads. If at the same time the bathhouse has ceiling slopes, then they are often used for storing bath accessories in order to avoid situations in which the bath space remains unused. To prevent guests from being subject to injury due to impacts on a low passage, it is recommended to install a steam room in the highest parts of the room. Their height should not be less than 2.3 meters.
The attic can have a terrace or even its own large balcony on the second floor. This place will be an excellent alternative to the dressing room and will allow you to accommodate a large number of people, as well as create a place to relax where you can drink a cup of tea or coffee between visits to the steam room. In a modern washroom, both a standard and a massage shower can be installed. If the space allows and there is such a desire, then you can install an entire bathroom.
Features of style in men's hunting country houses 2021 2022
To recreate a full-fledged image of a hunting men's house, it is necessary to take into account some stylistic features:
- No need to paint furniture. Scuffs and vintage look will fit perfectly into the interior of a hunting house.
- Use candles. Firstly, candles will give the space additional lighting, and secondly, they will give your home a fabulous feel. If you are afraid to light wax candles, you can always replace them with electric ones, and also purchase chandeliers stylized as candles.
- Use tree branches and animal antlers as additional decoration. With the help of branches and dried flowers you can create interesting compositions and ikebana.
- If you cannot afford to use natural materials in decoration, you can safely use imitation stone, wood and any other material.
Selection of trees for construction
Typically, the construction of huts in the taiga is made from coniferous trees. Of course, larch would be more suitable, since it rots much more slowly than conifers, but it still needs to be found in sufficient quantities. As a last resort, lay out the first crown from deciduous trees, and then continue with conifers. Cedar is also perfect for this purpose, since in a hut with cedar walls the air has a healing effect. There is no need to choose very thick trees. Fifteen to twenty-five centimeters thick logs will be sufficient. Practice shows that a raw pine log up to 25 cm thick and up to 4 m long will weigh about 120 kg. And since you will not be lifting the whole log, but only one edge of it, this weight will be quite feasible for an adult and healthy man. If such a weight still seems heavy, you can choose thinner trees. Of course, in this case you will need more of them.
