Painting Log Cabin Interior Walls

Why does wood rot.

Painting log cabin interior walls.

There are lots of options when it comes to painting the interior log walls of your home. We re talking about log walls. You can t do flooring for a whole house for 10k unless it s carpet. This log cabin has an appealing southwestern theme.

I also would leave painting the log walls as a last resort. In fact it will cause your logs to rot. You might be able to get the flat parts of the house painted for 10k but not logs. In this case it would probably mean painting and or staining that wall a very very dark shade of brown which would be the most neutral choice as i see it.

Great led lighting will go a long way to making your home feel brighter. It also serves as an effective base for further coats on top of the primer. The red tones from the rug and couch upholstery work well with the artwork and curtains within the space. Natural wood products such as cedar shingles and trim pine lap siding or exterior grade plywood can be stained a variety of tones or left to weather gray.

Why can t you paint a log cabin. The wood is enough of a neutral and the addition of tans beiges or grays would be nothing but dreary. An elegant modern reading nook. Unfortunately logs on cabins are exposed to harsh weather conditions which create the perfect environment for rotting to take place when coupled with paint.

A little girl s room could be pretty in pink or purple. If you re dead set on painting your log cabin then do it. Paint doesn t protect logs like it does other things. In reality you can.

And you shouldn t paint logs. The answer is no it won t. There s nothing stopping you. So don t do it.

No taking down walls in a log house for just 10k either because that means that you immediately need to redo the floors. I think it detracts from the warm log home feel. Your only real option would be to paint the wall an even darker color. Painting a log cabin is likely to cause more harm than good.

An ideal option for interior painting is the combination of primer and first coat. If your log cabin walls are uncoated and new the first thing you need to do is apply a primer in order to protect the log cabin materials beneath. Imagine a beach cabin with a light blue stain painted on the ceilings with bright white rafters and trim. While paint protects other things like metals and stone it actually destroys wood.

If you stain keep in mind that the more color pigment in the stain the more often you ll need to re stain to keep it looking sharp. Creamy white walls look great paired with the natural half log wall wood ceiling and timber trimmed windows. Some track lighting which you can direct the lights to hit warm log walls and bounce off would work.
