Before planning, it is important to study all the details, including the number of oblique walls, the possibility of installing windows. Under a hip roof, consisting of 4 walls, the size of the attic living space will be smaller than indoors or in an attic under a gable structure.

What you should pay attention to

The attic floor space is quite large if the house has a sloping roof. House projects with complex structures large roofs. They open up space for the creative imagination of architecture and design specialists. Attic modern country houses often represent a fashionable element based on the latest advances in interior design science.

When arranging an attic in the country, it is very important to take into account the presence of windows on this floor. How many of them should be, what size they should have - it depends on the size of the area of ​​the room. The shorter the duration of the period of natural daylight, the more it will be necessary to equip artificial light sources, which can further lead to large losses of electricity.

The design of the room also depends on the floor beams, which give the attic room a special decor. An additional window can be placed directly on the roof, which is a very original solution, allowing sunlight to enter the attic directly from above. Here it is important to remember about the automatic increase in the heated area of ​​the room in the absence of a ceiling.

In the process of registration attic room you can use additional thermal insulation materials or equip the ceiling selectively. The space that is left under the roof can be used as a storage room. Often, a recuperator or a ventilation unit is located in the area under the roof canopy. The ceiling makes it easier to carry installation works, since it is convenient to lay communications along it.

The presence of a formula that allows you to determine the optimal ratio of the size of windows in relation to the floor area of ​​the attic room shows that the best proportion is 1: 8. This allows you to maximize the normal lighting of the attic.

When I was studying at a Moscow design school, we had a whole module devoted to creating photorealistic images in 3ds Max. If you have come across this program at least once, then you can imagine how complicated it is. A million different buttons, settings, additional plugins. It took me a month to figure out the basics and create 5 more or less decent pictures of the kitchen-living room. A month, Karl! After that, I visualized a few more projects, but then I came to the conclusion that it would be better to delegate this stage, because it takes me too much time and effort.

It has already become a habit that every September we go somewhere and I spend my birthday away from home. This time there were mountains. With daily hikes, ski lifts and evening teas on the balcony. And also with a walk along the longest suspended pedestrian bridge in the world (whoever follows me on Instagram should definitely roll their eyes at this phrase :) Almost 2 weeks of sweet-intoxicating mountain air turned me into an active tourist, but only with a small side effect - for these 14 days I have become an absolutely useless, lazy reader. Rest + books are still incompatible things for me... But nevertheless, September pleased me with good books and before one of them I could not resist even surrounded by mountains.

To begin with, a garret space cannot always be turned into a full-fledged housing. If the height from the floor to the top of the roof is less than 2.5 m, and the room itself is very inconvenient and cramped, then it is more expedient to design and complete the attic floor, or to redraw the roof into a broken structure. Of course, these are financial costs, but they are incommensurably lower than ordering a new project of a house with an attic and building it from scratch to increase residential meters.

If the shape and dimensions of the room correspond to your ideas about residential meters, as well as meet the requirements fire safety and consumer supervision standards for attic floors, then a bedroom on the attic is an ideal solution in the layout of a house.

But before thinking over the interior of the attic bedroom, it is required to carry out high-quality hydro and vapor barrier of the room, it is imperative to insulate the roof and the fronts of the building. For the convenience of using the floor, it is important to think over what kind of stairs to make to the attic, how to place it correctly so that it is compact and easy to climb.

Do not forget that this is a room under the roof itself, therefore Special attention it is recommended to pay sound insulation, of course, rain on the roof is romantic, but when it rattles for a long time, it causes some discomfort.

Skylights play a huge role in organizing the bedroom space. If this is just an alteration of the attic floor for a bedroom, and the windows are very small, there is not enough light to lighten the interior at least visually, it is recommended to use light, pastel colors and a lot of artificial light.

You can go the other way, on the contrary, use dark deep shades, thereby emphasizing the backstage of the attic bedroom. If the extension is made on purpose, remember that the windows should occupy at least 10% of the attic floor area.

Also, if the bedroom is located in the attic, pay attention to utilities. It's okay if the size and characteristics of the room do not allow you to provide additional comfortable conditions, and you have to go down to the bathroom. But it is much more pleasant if the shower, toilet and small kitchenette, even a simple bar counter, are located right in the bedroom in the attic.

Design features

The first task that should be solved when decorating an interior is how to equip and correctly "fit" into the design rafter system mansards and roof slopes. If the room is already low, and the organization of the heat-insulating layer in any case will take another 150-200 mm from the volume on each side, it is inappropriate to hem the horizontal ceiling in the attic.

It is better to trim the slopes with clapboard or drywall along the crate, but remember that GVL sheets can only be used in heated rooms, and natural wood must be treated with antiseptics and a fire-resistant compound.

In addition, lining the attic with clapboard, block house or timber is an ideal option for decorating bedrooms in country houses, as well as in wooden country-style cottages. Natural materials will only emphasize all the charm and color of suburban housing. The tree breathes, creating natural ventilation of the room and its own microclimate.

The rafters and vertical beams, painted in the same tone with the planes of the fronts and roofs, guarantee the integrity of the space, they are almost invisible against the general background, this technique is relevant for small bedrooms. The contrasting selection of rafters serves for a clear zoning of space, the bedrooms in this design solution are conditionally divided into a sleeping place, a dressing room, a recreation and work area.

Others actual solution To equip the interior of a bedroom with a mansard roof, there is a combination of wood and plasterboard in decoration, which is pasted over with wallpaper, rattan, cork or finished with textured plaster. There is no limit to imagination here, but the most popular style for a bedroom in the attic is Provence. Light, airy, cozy and very comfortable.

For example, a lining, painted in white or cream colors in combination with wallpaper in small flower immediately disposes to a romantic mood. And photographs on the walls with the brightest moments in life only enhance the sensations, as if emphasizing the intimacy of the room, because the bedroom is a personal space where you can relax not only with your body, but also with your soul.

For the young, creative and dynamic, the design of a bedroom with a loft-style attic ceiling is the best fit. It is also very relevant if the attic is built of blocks, brick or concrete. This is a house inside out, where the interior can constantly change. Typical for loft decoration accent wall, changing the geometry of the room, at the same time it can serve as an addition to the head of the bed, perhaps the bed will be decorated in the form of a podium, to which several steps lead.

Here the question is natural: how to combine the industrial notes of the interior with the comfort of the bedroom? The task is solved with the help of textiles and large posters with sketches dear to the heart, since photo printing today is capable of working almost miracles.

Furniture and textiles

In general, if we talk about style, the design of the attic bedroom is limited only by your own preferences, the main thing here is to create coziness and comfort. This task is solved only by a combination of well-chosen materials, original parts in the design of the bedroom interior, as well as in the careful selection of furniture, textiles and accessories.

Features of the room, and mainly the roof of the attic, creates some difficulties in the selection and arrangement of furniture in the bedroom. First of all, for low rooms, compact, low furniture, for example, a podium bed, is relevant, it is best if it is made to order, especially for the size of your bedroom. If the bedroom is in the attic with high ceilings, then here the choice is objectively unlimited.

As for the location of the bed, it is better to put it against the front wall, in the middle, where the ceilings have the maximum height. But often, you have to arrange sleeping place under the roof slopes, between the rafters.

Tip: Try to arrange the sleeping place so that there is at least 900 mm from the mattress to the ceiling. At least when getting out of bed, this way, you will protect your head from "collision" with hard surfaces.

Wardrobes, so necessary in the bedroom, are optimally made built-in under the slopes, so you get a lot of storage space, and visually correct the shape of the attic. For the insides, prefabricated metal modules are quite suitable, as well as independently from chipboard, plywood or boards, you can make shelves that are closed with beautiful compartment facades.

It is better to define the working area in the bedroom under the window, preferably away from the bed. Try to select a place for rest with a table and armchairs, as well as for a dressing table near the wall opposite to the bed. Remember to provide spotlights for these areas, and for bedroom lighting, it is better to use soft, diffuse light here.

The attic bedroom looks very impressive with diode illumination. In general, a well-thought-out lighting scenario is able to turn a bedroom with an ordinary interior into a very original space, if you like, a separate secluded and mysterious world in the skies.

The curtains in the bedroom are a guarantee healthy sleep and comfortable rest any time of the day. The size, type and design of curtains directly depends on the area of ​​the room, the style and height of the ceilings, as well as on the shape of the skylights. But they must definitely protect against sunlight... It is best to use the "day-night" model (it is found in almost all types of curtains), it has a special dark layer that does not allow light to pass through.

Features of the attic design for a cozy bedroom: the uniqueness of the room

A typical attic is a small room with low profiled ceilings and small windows often insufficiently illuminated by natural natural light. It is such a kind of transformation of a modern, cozy and quiet nest, so necessary in the current bustle, that is perfect for setting up a bedroom.

The main disadvantage of the attic space is obvious: it is a lack of space. More detailed reasons why certain restrictions are imposed on the design of the attic bedroom are as follows:

• sloping walls,
• ceiling with variable height,
• sloped windows, if such are provided for by the building concept.

If there are usually no difficulties with stylistic design, then various difficulties are often associated with its ergonomic addition with household items. So even at the construction design stage, one should reckon with the recommendations of specialists trained to correctly use each square centimeter area:

• the space under the roof slope is appropriate to use for installing a bed, and the headboard is directed to a low wall (along the bed is installed only in a narrow attic),
• standard tall cabinets give way to shaped ones that fit perfectly into various niches, creating a creative atmosphere,
• in some photos of a comfortable bedroom in the attic, you can often see minimalist solutions: compact dressers and small bedside tables,
• a fabulous window seat is often reserved for the installation of a table or bed.

Original ideas, stylistic inventions and photos of a bedroom in the attic.

Rustic orientation. The interior concept of an attic space often looks towards rustic styles. The spirit of comfort and simplicity, exuded by the French provincial style "Provence"... perfect for a peaceful environment. An abundance of pure white flowers that are used to paint rough wooden surfaces, landscapes with lavender fields and other floral motifs - a flavor that undoubtedly reminds of the place of residence of the style.

However, you can stop at the English "country" focusing on warmth and comfort. Abundance of browns. yellow and red shades, a combination of colors and textures bring color, fullness and logical completeness to the design of a rustic attic bedroom.

The floors in these rustic styles are made entirely of wood. The ceiling is usually hemmed with environmentally friendly clapboard. However, the beams, "country-style" not painted or wrapped in white in French, look even more spectacular. Casually plastered walls are an equally common solution in rustic concepts.

Classic ideas. Gracefulness, solemnity, and, undoubtedly, wealth - the classics still serve as a role model and are a monolithic standard among modern stylistic concepts. Key elements of the classic flawlessness, harmony, elegance and palatial luxury that took shape in the 16th and 18th centuries:

• made of natural quality materials(wood, marble) floor,
• light walls (shades are closer to the range of white colors), it is allowed to use noble paints - burgundy, blue, green, olive,
• furniture from valuable breeds, decorated with carvings and gilded fittings.

Fresh ideas for interior decoration of a residential attic for a bedroom: the direction of modernity. The space under the mansard roof is a great opportunity to experience the American style: the loft. The credo of the concept is minimum costs and simplicity in everything. Creative and dodgy personalities appreciate the industrial accent of the style:

• all kinds of brick ledges and open walls,
• pipes,
• rough plaster,
• wooden floor,
• open ventilation system,
• modern multifunctional furniture and an abundance of metal surfaces,
• original accessories (graffiti, road signs, posters).

Such an ultramodern attic interior and bedroom can only be combined together in a spacious attic room with high ceilings and large windows.

Less brutal, more concise and undoubtedly cutting edge style minimalism great for bedroom decoration, especially under a small attic. In short, this is:

• flexible forms, easily created using modern means (for example, drywall),
• maximum functionality, expressed in the use of a minimum amount of furniture with the possibility of transformation,
• more often two colors, one of which is white,
• plastered and painted walls.

For decorating a compact bedroom under the attic is well suited design with Scandinavian accents... Main Attributes:

• milky white, light blue, pale green, beige and other pastel shades,
• painted plain walls,
• wooden floor covered with a layer of varnish,
• simple and lightweight furniture,
• an abundance of fabrics with various patterns.

Other accents

In the design attic interior choice is far from the last place color solutions and lighting concepts. Non-standard window shapes and their arrangement often do not provide adequate lighting for the room. Therefore, the play of shadows takes place here:

• light pastel shades help to visually enlarge the space, in which not only structural elements the room itself, but also textile details and furniture itself,
• dark tones visually reduce the volume of the room - to compensate for the phenomenon will help competent installation lamps,
• the picturesque attic bedroom in the photo is given by natural light transmitted through transparent curtains.

Briefly about the main thing

The non-standard shape of the attic room makes it necessary to reckon with some compromise decisions regarding the choice of furniture and its further arrangement: the bed is often located under the roof slope with the headboard to a low wall, shaped wardrobes fill various technological niches, and sometimes are completely replaced by compact dressers and bedside tables.

• When considering the silhouette, the attic space can have the shape of a triangle, a trapezoid, be symmetrical or with a one-sided inclined part.

• Walls can be located within the boundaries of the building or go beyond it, located in the protruding part of the house.

• Depending on the construction features of the structure, the structure of the top is made of different materials - wood, metal frame, concrete.

• The degree of insulation of this part of the house is different, as well as the possibility and methods of carrying out engineering communications: water supply, sewerage, heating.

Benefits of using attic space

The popularity of using the attic is due to a number of positive consequences:

• the living area is significantly increased, which can be arranged, for example, in the form of a sleeping area or an office,

Decorating an attic bedroom: five consecutive steps

Usually young couples like to settle there, as well as small or already matured children. But older people do not like running up and down several times a day. Before making living rooms in the attic, you need to make sure that it will be warm, light and comfortable for a person.

1. Preparatory work

Be sure to insulate the walls and roof, put sealed double-glazed windows on the side windows. If there is not enough lighting, it makes sense to think about installing skylights, which will be located directly on the roof of the house. If you are just planning to build a house, then it is better to provide French side windows or a small balcony.

In addition, it is necessary to remove all ventilation shafts, cables and pipes that previously went through an unexploited attic. If heating was not supplied there, then there are several options: to make a "warm floor" (electric, water), to install an electric heating radiator or a free-standing (island) fireplace).

2. Basic finishing works

The walls of the bedroom in the attic can be pasted over with wallpaper, painted, plastered, sheathed with clapboard. The choice depends on the preferences of the owner and the chosen interior style. For country, we can recommend wood panels, opened with varnish to emphasize the wood pattern. For a Provence style bedroom - bleached walls or with decorative plaster.

For classic styles, fabric wallpaper, paint or Venetian plaster on parts of the walls. For all modern styles- wallpaper and paint. In the children's room, it is better to use hypoallergenic and washable Decoration Materials... If you decide to stay on wallpaper, then do not choose a dark color and large patterns for a small and poorly lit attic.

It is better to choose the floor covering for the bedroom in the attic from natural and "warm" materials: parquet, solid wood, cork, natural linoleum. An ordinary low and small attic will not tolerate podium structures.

The slope of the ceiling is a special detail of the bedroom interior in the attic, so it is advisable not to level the upper level with plasterboard floors. Moreover, this will "eat up" a significant part of the free space, which is usually not enough in the attic. The ceiling can also be whitewashed, sheathed with clapboard, painted or pasted over with wallpaper.

If ceiling or wall beams are visible, then they can be beaten in the interior, having previously added brightness to them with the help of special varnishes or impregnations. In the future, their color will need to be supported by another element of the interior: flooring, furniture or large accessories of the same shade. In addition, lamps can be attached to them.

3. The color scheme of the bedroom interior in the attic

There are various solutions for the design of attics, depending on the type of cross-section of the attic (one, two or more sloped walls) and on the level at which the roof slope begins from the floor. But there are also a few ideas that are suitable for everyone.

For a small room, it is better to choose a single color for the ceiling and walls. Painted in White color, they smoothly flow into each other, visually increasing the height of the walls and the size of the room. The low ceiling will not "press" so much. A bedroom in the attic, decorated in white, is one of the most sensible solutions.

You can revive such an interior either with the help bright accessories(decorative pillows, curtains, bedspreads, rugs), or with the help of delicate pastel shades of companion colors - light blue, pale green, pale yellow, ash pink (cross walls, wardrobes). You can combine white ceilings and light (beige, sandy, creamy) wallpaper with a small floral pattern.

If you do not like the light color in the bedroom, then you can paste over or paint one or two transverse walls in a dark calm saturated color (burgundy, blue, green, gray, brown, purple, black). Just remember that natural lighting in the attic is always very uneven, this leads to increased contrast in different parts of the room.

If the room faces the north side, then it is necessary to decorate the bedroom in "warm" colors, and vice versa.

4. Furniture and textiles

Everyone who lives in an apartment or house with not enough rooms or simply with a shortage of square meters will appreciate the opportunity to increase the area of ​​living space. Thanks to such a prospect, someone moves into apartments with a large number of rooms, or a neighbor's apartment is simply bought out, if suddenly the neighbors decide to move. But for people living in their own homes, there is a less radical opportunity that does not require either moving or spending additional millions on expansion. The problem of lack of space is solved very simply - the dusty and dark attic is being converted into a living room.

The advantage of such a solution is also good opportunity get rid of old unnecessary junk stored away from human eyes. If you ask about the benefits of such a restructuring with the removal of all that is superfluous from the attic of the Feng Shui masters, they will give a lot of arguments in favor of such an idea. Therefore, if you are still wondering how to make your country house bigger, take a look at your attic floor. In this article, we will provide a lot of photo ideas for attic improvement projects from leading interior designers.

What should you worry about in advance?

The geometry of the attic room, of course, cannot be called correct, the gable roof forms a bevel, which will not always allow you to move in full growth. That somewhat complicates its improvement into a full-fledged living room, but everything is individual. On the other hand, this is a huge plus - namely, the prerequisites appear to create an interior that is different from the design of the rest of the rooms in the house. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the attic floor to become a favorite place for a family to live due to its uniqueness. But in order for him to become such, you need to take care of other equally important things.

Living room at any time of the year it should be comfortable for living, it should be warm in winter, and not hot in summer. And not the other way around. Since in the attic, the roof serves as a ceiling, behind which the weather is raging: snow, rain and the scorching sun and others natural phenomena, for her this question is especially acute.

Therefore, in the attic you need to equip the following:

• thermal insulation - so that it is not cold in winter and cool in summer.
• vapor barrier - will allow you to get rid of moisture in the attic and, as a result, from mold and other fungi.
• sound insulation should also be sufficient for a comfortable life. Drumming rain on tiles, strong winds, etc. will not let you fall asleep if it is planned to place a bedroom or a recreation area in the attic.
• the interior of the room must be provided with sufficient sunlight. To do this, you will have to build in special skylights or, by slightly changing the roof structure, install a dormer.
• it is necessary to carry out communications: wiring of electricity, heating, ventilation and, if necessary, water supply, etc.

But before all the work, you have to decide what exactly to place in the attic: a bedroom, a bathroom, a living room, a nursery, a library, a billiard room or an office? After all, the wiring of all communications, finishing options and the final interior design depend on this.

Attic bedroom - dreams of the stars!

Sleeping in a gloomy, unfurnished attic is not comfortable and scary, but the bedroom is in a cozy warm attic- that's another matter. It is a pleasure to fall asleep on a soft bed looking out the window at the starry sky, dreams will definitely be bright and fabulous. Therefore, if you have your own private house, do not miss this opportunity and feel free to equip the bedroom in the attic. Thus, a dark, dusty and scary place may well become your favorite room.

The bedroom at the top of the house contributes to good sleep, also because it is remote from active rooms, kitchen, living room, nursery, etc. To her, extraneous sounds that interfere with sleep are less heard. And energetically, it is comfortable in the bedroom when there is no more room... A restful rest is guaranteed in this way. Perhaps the gable roof of such a bedroom also contributes to peace, because it is known that pyramidal shapes are able to bring special energies into the interior.

If the attic is low and it is almost impossible to stand in it at full height, then the rest room in it will become practically ideal solution... It is unreasonable to place a double bed in such a bedroom, since it will be inconvenient to rise from it, and space will be lost. It is more ergonomic to install two beds along the bevel of the ceiling. Then the highest place in the attic will remain free and, as a result, it will become much more convenient to lie down and get out of bed.

The bed in the center is relevant in the more spacious attics. Thus, the interior of the bedroom can be fully equipped for two people. In addition to the bed, you can place other attributes necessary for the bedroom: bedside tables, dressing table, chest of drawers, wardrobe. It is better to purchase large cabinet furniture made to order according to the required dimensions. Built-in wardrobes made according to the geometry of the slanting walls will help create the most harmonious atmosphere in the interior. Often, a bed frame serves as a storage place in a bedroom in the attic. Drawers can fit the necessary things.

To make it light in the attic bedroom, sometimes there are not enough windows and artificial lighting. To dispel the well-established stereotype that the attic is a dark place, you should choose light colors for decoration. For example, light wallpaper in a flower will bring not only light, but also originality and comfort. Bright design walls will also bring more emotion to the decor of the room.

Separately, we should talk about attics with a high roof, reaching up to 3-5 meters. A bedroom with such a high triangular top will not be very comfortable. Therefore, in order to cover a high space, it is often supplemented with transverse beams (if they are not there). Thus, not only will the height overlap, but it will be easier to bring the main main lighting into the room.

A country house always evokes associations with a cozy home, so many happy owners of both wooden and stone houses try to implement interior design in cozy country styles: country and Provence. Why not use this idea when decorating the attic interior. In addition, structures such as beams and rafters are direct elements of these styles. Complementing them with matching wallpaper, textiles and furniture makes it easy to create a warm, relaxing environment.

A fully sheathed ceiling without load-bearing structures, as in the photo below, looks no less stylish and cozy, moreover, this solution is quite justified when providing thermal insulation for the future living room.

Bathroom in the attic

The main difficulty in decorating a bathroom in the attic is to provide it with water supply, sewer drainage systems, and waterproofing the floor. In addition, it is worth considering the fact that high humidity should be easily ventilated and at the same time it should not be cold in the room. In view of the fact that there is already a street behind the ceiling, this somewhat complicates the provision of suitable conditions for a comfortable bath and shower.

But, if it is possible to solve communication and constructive issues, the entire attic can be given over to a relaxation zone. In addition to the bathroom and shower, you can place a sauna cabin and even a small pool, massage table and other attributes that contribute to have a good rest and recuperation.

Due to the fact that the walls in the attic are slanting, it is necessary to make correct planning... As a rule, the bathtub is installed directly under the pitched ceiling. It is very convenient if there is a window above it. Taking a bath and looking at the stars or clouds - in the evening - is an amazing pleasure.

Showers are placed accordingly in the highest place. The rest of the plumbing equipment should be more compact. Therefore, sinks combined with cabinets are perfect for the attic, in addition to this, the washbasin area is supplemented with hanging shelves and, of course, a towel holder.

Living room in the attic - how to arrange?

A properly planned living room with an unusual arrangement of walls, and even with a skylight, will definitely not leave indifferent any guest of the house. In small attics, sofas and armchairs are located in places with the lowest ceiling height. But the TV should be hung on a vertical gable wall, if there is one. Otherwise, it is placed on a bedside table against one of the walls. An alternative is the construction of a special partition, as in the photo below.

Stylish, cozy living room in the attic with light walls and wooden floors in the photo below, a visual demonstration of the rustic style.

A fireplace in the attic will come in handy. The play of flames and the twinkling of stars in the windows of the attic will become attributes creating a fabulous, romantic atmosphere in the evening. Therefore, if you are the owner of a private house, do not miss this opportunity. The attic is a real storehouse of ideas, from which even the most daring ones can be embodied. About the living room in the attic, we can safely say that it will be the second in the house, into which it is not at all necessary to let guests in. Why shouldn't she be just a family room. The guests will not even guess about it.

As a rule, the decoration of the living room is done in time with the main design of the house. Another interior, different from the rest of the rooms, with its own colors and charm is not excluded. As a rule, the living room in the attic is decorated in light colors. White, beige, sand colors are taken as a basis. Their main goal is to fill the decoration of the room with light. Wooden structures may not be painted.

In the evening, in addition to the main ceiling light, it makes sense to supplement in different parts of the living room with floor, table and wall lamps. Thus, it will be possible to create good zone lighting. In addition, as needed, you can turn on and off the lamps in different parts of the room.

It is not uncommon for a tree to be taken as the basis for the interior design of the attic, since large wooden elements: beams, rafters, etc. In time with them, you can decorate the planes of the ceiling: lining, wood-veneered MDF panels and other wood-based materials will be a good complement to the idea. It should also be said that the idea - wooden beams and a white plastered ceiling, took root well in the Provence styles and in Scandinavian style.

Of course, textiles are important attributes of any room: carpet on the floor, curtains on special holders or roller blinds the dormer windows will radically change the living room, it will immediately breathe coziness and warmth. In addition, you can "throw" a warm blanket and a couple of three colored pillows on the sofa. And then the interior will become not only cozy, but also beautiful.

If there is a front wall in the attic and it is made of brick or stone, you do not need to hide it. It is enough to clean it of dust and cover it with a special solution to refine it. Then it will become the hallmark of the attic style living room. A loft is a great idea that fits 100% into the attic living room.

Loft style is beautifully expressed by the presence of aged wood and rough furniture on black metal frame.

Children's room in the attic

Children are different, some are sociable and with friends like to be in different mysterious places, others, on the contrary, prefer to retire and play alone in their own space. Both will be delighted if you organize a nursery in the attic. The attic always gives the impression of mystery, and sometimes it causes awe in the soul because of the mass existing legends that in such a remote teak place they can live different kinds fabulous creatures.

In the attic, you can freely place a children's room with a sleeping place, a play area and a place for learning. In this case, the correct distribution of the functional of the nursery is very important. Where the floor meets the slanting walls, it is best to place furniture for storing things and toys, with opposite side you can safely place the bed. But the desktop should be installed at one of the windows. There should be enough light in the nursery even in the evening, firstly so that the child does not spoil his eyesight, and secondly, so that the child is not afraid to be alone in the room. For the same reason, nightlights should be attached not only by the bed, but also in remote dark places in the attic.

They decorate the walls of the nursery in the attic mainly in light shades, as already found out due to the lack of sunlight in daytime... But the main thing at the same time is to maintain a balance, you cannot overdo it with them, too, given that the room is made out for a child, you need to bring bright, interesting colors to its interior. It can be multi-colored curtains, colored furniture, lamps with catchy shades, a beautiful multi-colored carpet, or just bright pictures in the interior. This will create a contrasting and cheerful environment.

Dressing room in the attic

By default, the attic always becomes a place for storing things that have already become obsolete, which, it seems, are still well preserved, so it's a pity to throw it away. But as practice shows, all the same they will eventually be thrown away or given to someone. So why not speed up this process. We free the attic pantry from the old, dusty "junk", and in its place we build a full-fledged functional dressing room. It will be much more useful, the place will not be wasted and there will be cleanliness and order in the attic. And most importantly, it will save space in the house, because it is not always possible to place a full-fledged dressing room in the bedroom, and even more so in a separate room of the house.

Certainly get perfectly suitable ready-made wardrobe systems it will not be very easy for rooms with sloped ceilings, there are hardly any ready-made solutions on sale. Although you can sometimes get by with standard cabinets and shelving, as shown in the example in the photo above. But even in this case, part of the useful space is lost, and the interior does not seem very harmonious. Similar problems furniture workshops decide on the manufacture of storage structures, taking into account the individual height, width and geometry of the opening, where you need to build a cabinet or rack.

In addition, the on-staff designer-constructor will help you choose the right materials and wardrobe systems, as well as solve the issue of lighting the dressing room and the correct placement of the mirror. Agree much better when the issue is dealt with by a professional. With its help, even such disadvantages of a room as a complex ceiling and sloping walls can be turned into advantages.

With built-in furniture, not a single centimeter of usable space will be lost, and lighting in the right place will help you find the right thing much faster.

Secondly, a whole room in the house is freed up, which can be used for other needs. For example, in case another family member appears. And it doesn't matter if the attic turns out to be very small, because 4-5 square meters is enough for a comfortable office (which is not enough for bedrooms, living rooms and other rooms), which can be found in any house, even with a sloping roof. On the other hand, it’s even good that the office will not be large, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on its arrangement.

To organize a workplace in the attic, it is not necessary to cover the attic structures with an additional ceiling. The peculiarity of the attic room lies in the fact that it has a unique geometry and additional structural elements. If the office in the attic is formed in the zone gable roof, this is very good. There is no overhanging flat ceiling, and as we said earlier, the pyramidal shape has a positive effect on the human condition, it to some extent increases efficiency and improves labor results.

Attic floor window decoration

In order for the attic to turn into a fully livable room, it must be filled with as much air and light as possible. The easiest way to do this is with windows. Windows can be as usual (for smooth walls), as well as special designs that are created specifically for beveled walls in attics. The shape, style and design of windows depends only on your imagination. The main thing here is the size, because the larger the window in the attic, the more spacious the room will seem, the less the sloping walls will "press" on you.

Remember how fashionable the style of the alpine chalet is now. So it will be simply sacrilege to sew up wooden beams supporting the roof under the lining or drywall. On the contrary, when designing the design of the attic, emphasize them, because wooden beams are perhaps the most interesting decoration of any interior. In the attic, aged dark wood beams look especially impressive against the background of light walls. By the way, do not forget about the lighting of the room, because the original and correct lighting of the room works real wonders.
