Facade board – can it be combined with lamellas?
Of course, facade boards can be successfully combined with laths, creating a harmonious and modern interior design. However, it is worth remembering that the laths should act as an elegant finishing touch, being only an addition to the main component, which is the facade board. Such an arrangement not only emphasizes the charm of natural or exotic wood, but also adds a sophisticated character to the interior.
The laths are perfect for living rooms connected to the kitchen or kitchenette, where they can serve as part of a seamless transition between rooms. Imagine how elegant the wall laths look when they lead the eye from the kitchen to the living room, creating a coherent and aesthetic whole. In such arrangements, facade wood can cover larger areas of the walls, while the laths will provide subtle decorative accents that add dynamism and depth to the interior.
Another interesting use of laths is to break up sections of walls covered with facade boards. They can be placed around a TV, fireplace, or in a place where there is a unique painting or other unique interior design element. The laths in such an arrangement act as frames that direct attention to these special places, emphasizing their importance in the space. Wooden facade boards combined with laths create a warm, cozy atmosphere, ideal for both modern and classic interior designs.

When combining facade boards with lamellas, pay special attention to:
- Choosing the right materials – always choose high-quality facade boards and laths to ensure the durability and aesthetics of the arrangement.

Coniferous facade boards – what not to combine with them?
Conifer facade boards are a unique interior design element, which attracts the eye with its intense naturalness and warmth. When you decide to use conifer facade boards in your interior, it is worth ensuring that the other accessories are unobtrusive and subtly emphasize the charm of the wood. Therefore, when arranging with facade boards, you should give up such decorations as pilasters, rosettes, columns, half-columns and other stucco elements.
These boards, made of natural wood, deserve to play first fiddle, and too rich additions could overwhelm their noble appearance and natural color. Conifer facade boards, available in a variety of colors and finishes, blend best with minimalist design elements that do not take away from their attention. This allows the boards to fully expose their uniqueness, but also their durability, providing the interior with elegance and coziness.
It is worth remembering that facade wood requires regular maintenance to maintain its aesthetic properties, as well as resistance to changing weather conditions and factors associated with biological hazards. Canadian pine or other coniferous woods, such as spruce or Siberian larch, offer a beautiful appearance, but their care is fundamental to long-term durability and aesthetics. That’s why it’s worth investing in high-quality impregnants and preservatives to enjoy the beauty of natural wood for many years.
Choosing conifer facade boards, we can be sure that they will bring a unique character to our interior, while adding warmth as well as elegance.
