Useful space under the roof above the first floor can always be used rationally. Why do you need a non-residential cold attic when, with a reasonable approach, it can be turned into a full-fledged living space? The design of the attic will require attention, investment, as a result you get additional space, it can be turned into a bedroom, living room, office or cinema room. An insulated attic will save up to a quarter of the energy that is usually used to heat a house.

Second floor design

Previously, the attic was not intended for living. Later, servants were placed there. Today it has become fashionable to make living rooms under the very roof.

If it is necessary to reconstruct the truss system for the equipment of the attic floor, the services of professionals may be required. When heating, ventilation and electricity are already present, the interior can be thought out independently.

Points to consider when creating the interior of a house with an attic:

• Mandatory insulation, the presence of all engineering communications. In matters of arrangement, you need to be very careful, in their decision to be technically savvy.
• It is good to think over how to use walls, beams, slopes in the interior of the room.
• It is rational to approach vertical windows or located in lucarnes, with their help to achieve maximum illumination.
• In the decoration, use those materials that show the greatest moisture resistance.
• Do not get carried away with a lot of furniture, unnecessary details, accessories, remember the rule: low ceilings require the same low furniture.
• Try to use natural finishing materials.
• Rationally manage the space, in the process of being passionate about design development and not make it more cramped.

Little attic

The modest size of the room is not an obstacle to creating a stylish interior. Sloping ceilings take up a lot of space. This can always be beaten, the volume and area can be added with the help of successful lighting, window openings increased as much as possible in height and width, and harmonious colors.

Attic bedroom

Depending on the degree of inclination, the room under the roof is adapted for different purposes. With a low angle of inclination, the attic will be an ideal place to place a bedroom there. Its comfort, romance will only benefit, it will become quieter, warmer, through the windows it will be possible to admire the starry sky.

To decorate the space, they choose the traditional style, equip it in an oriental or aristocratic manner. In any case, first you have to start from the height of the room, do not chase large details, stop at more compact ones. First you will need to arrange the most necessary furniture, fill the remaining space with other details.

When choosing finishes, they rely on the materials that were used in the design of the house. In the bedroom, an eco-style will naturally look, where there is a lot of wood, classic wallpaper decoration, which will emphasize beauty and comfort. Particular attention - textiles. He will place accents, give a unique look.

What can be done if the ceiling in the room is very low? Even in such a situation, you can equip a cozy bedroom. A bed - "tatami" will be a way out, and the entire interior must be kept in the style of oriental minimalism. The ceiling will visually rise if it is in bright colors.

Living room in the attic

A cozy living room in the attic can be made with a minimum of effort. The main thing is that the room for guests is spacious and solid. Carefully thought-out design can turn even a small room into a reception room for guests.

To visually expand the narrow volume of the attic, you need to strive for light colors in everything: use plastic, transparent glass furniture, and make the walls as light as possible.

The first rule for accessories will be the unity of all details. Translucent fabrics are best suited for windows. Blackout curtains, blinds will look good.

The style of the living room should correspond to your interests, mood, and be in harmony with all the decoration of the house. Choose from the following areas:

• Classic. She has luxury and elegance. Solid furniture, carpets, chandeliers will be required. The main decoration of the interior should be the fireplace area. There are no bright colors, everything is orderly.
• Modern modern. Functionality, simplicity, practicality. The atmosphere of the room is dominated by warm pastel shades, there are dark elements. All details are in harmony.
• Retro. The situation is typical for the end of the century before last. The living room is furnished and decorated with paintings of that time. Instead of a fireplace, you can build a cast-iron stove or its styling.
• Provence. A popular destination due to its sophistication and romance. Finishing and furniture is subject to antiquity. The room is warmed by warm southern tones.
• High tech. For modern art lovers. In the decoration, everything corresponds to the latest fashion. Lots of chrome and glass details. Strict forms, monotony, minimalism.

Covered kitchen and dining area

It's great if this idea comes to your mind at the stage of laying the building. The arrangement of the kitchen will require appropriate communications. Not only light and insulation will be needed, but also gas and water supply.

A well-thought-out attic interior with a kitchen and a dining room can become as comfortable and beautiful as possible, the choice of style, furniture, taking into account the nuances of the layout of the room, the height of the ceilings, and the shape of the ceilings are important.

Where the ceiling is sloping, place the hob, install a sofa and a table with a sink. Give preference to modular systems, cabinets with inclined walls. The best option is multi-level furniture, preferably on wheels, no massive sets in the style of classicism. Avant-garde and techno functionality with bright color accents, unusual furniture will be more appropriate.

When designing the interior of the kitchen, you need to consider that:

• natural light is best provided by large skylights;
• it is better to buy furniture in bright colors, keep the walls and ceiling in pastel colors;
• with an appropriate layout, place kitchen furniture against the wall, which is perpendicular to the slope;
  a dining table would be fine by the window;
• the colors of the kitchen and dining areas should be combined with each other, even better if the contrasts between them are opposite.

The design of the windows on the attic floor, where the kitchen will be located, may dictate a complete lack of decor. The most convenient option will serve as roller blinds, blinds.

Children's room

"Dead zones", the inconvenience of planning - those claims that are usually made in the process of working on the design of the attic floor. In the case of a nursery, sloping walls, not quite accessible corners, on the contrary, can create additional opportunities. Features of the relief of the walls, differences in the height of the ceilings can be well beaten. High-mounted windows are safer than traditional ones.

First of all, you need to think about good insulation, the safety of all materials used, and the convenience of planning.

The child will like to be the sole owner of a separate room, which he can settle in at his own discretion. The room will be a good observation point away from close parental supervision. It is easy to organize several zones here: for recreation, games, storage of many toys, things, creative activities.

For a nursery, it is important to have an abundance of light, bright accents. Unusual furniture will fit well into the interior, colorful textiles on the sleeping places, all kinds of soft floor coverings, a lot of interesting colorful lamps in different areas of space.

Study, workshop or library

In a small private house, it is always difficult to allocate a separate room for an office or workshop. In the former attic, you can organize a cozy area for solitude, reading, and your favorite hobby. Large space is not required, a few square meters are enough. In the absence of restrictions in meters, impressive bookcases, a soft sofa or a fluffy rug with many cozy pillows for relaxing, a rocking chair in a separate corner with a floor lamp will fit here.

The attic room is decorated with open shelves or closed shelves for books, tools, they use all the space to the maximum.

In order not to reduce the open spaces of the attic floor, you should not sew up massive wooden beams with drywall. This will not narrow the already limited space, will give the interior individuality, the atmosphere of the office with a lot of equipment and electronics will become warmer.

Bathroom in the attic

The attic floor, due to its specificity, sloping ceiling, walls with different levels, is rarely used for functional purposes. In a large metropolis, the entire apartment may turn out to be an attic area. When creating the interior of a country house, utilitarian premises can also be placed under the roof itself.

There are some nuances here, when drawing up an attic design project, not only the size of the room is taken into account, the growth of the owners, ergonomic patterns are taken into account. It will turn out a comfortable, practical bathroom, it is better to place it above the kitchen area. This will simplify the work of water supply and sewerage systems. Most often, a toilet bowl and a bathroom are installed close to the inclined wall. If the dimensions of the room are small, then instead of it it is better to put a shower stall.

Plumbing, furniture should be compact, washbasins built into cabinets, cabinets, and various hanging structures are often used. It is better if the surfaces and doors are made of materials with a light, glossy, mirror surface. Floor tiles - appropriate.

With an impressive size of the room, the walls are decorated in any colors, if it is cramped, they stop at a light scale, which should visually expand the space. For the same purpose, it is worth abandoning the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bhiding structures and saving space on this. We decorate them, make an interior accent.

home theater

Usually one of the largest rooms on the ground floor combines the functions of a dining room, living room, kitchen. This is convenient, zoning helps not to infringe on each of the segments.

The current design of the attic room, if there is no urgent need to save usable space, suggests the possibility of planning a full-fledged home theater on the second floor of a summer house or a private house. This room has a large sofa, a TV, a wall-to-wall projector screen. The wires, the speaker system are hidden behind beautiful wall panels, where discs and other paraphernalia can also be conveniently placed.

In the presence of funds, a rich imagination, a bar counter, a refrigerator for drinks, a popcorn machine, and coffee brewing are added to the arsenal. If you make the environment mobile, the room will be useful for holding dance parties and other mass gatherings.

Closet under the roof

It is unprofitable to arrange a storage system on the first floors due to the eternal lack of space. To equip a room under the roof for such purposes, even if it is a small area and with a specific shape, is a very good solution. Here you can take out the things of all family members. Non-standard layout, with a thoughtful approach, we turn ourselves into a plus.

Asymmetry, all kinds of bevels of the ceiling will not always allow you to place a store assortment of furniture on the attic area. But you can think about how to use each corner with custom-made cabinets, shelving, shelves.

Cabinets and niches for long things are installed near high walls. Near sloping walls, a wardrobe with sliding doors will fit in well. Near the low fragments of the wall, you can equip low cabinets, benches, which are convenient to sit on, store seasonal items there, shoes with a vacuum cleaner.

fireplace room

The attic is a non-standard space. Heated floors, electric radiators are not quite suitable for extraordinary people to create an atmosphere of romance and creativity. A fireplace can play both a purely practical role and a purely decorative one.

A traditional wood-burning fireplace is a massive structure. Since the ceiling of the attic floor is unlikely to withstand a half-ton structure, preference is given to compact models with low weight. Facing with heavy stone, ceramics is contraindicated. The most appropriate style is high-tech, steel, glass, cast iron parts, simple shapes without decorative frills.

The design of the fireplace in the attic is very individual, it must take into account the degree of load, the ventilation system. If the floors in the house are wooden, they stop at electric models or those that run on biofuels.

Important! If you want to have a fireplace in the attic, provide a place to store solid fuel. A smoke extraction system is required, but is associated with an additional financial burden. When using electric models, you need to choose the most powerful. Fan heaters draw a lot of energy, do not meet fire safety requirements, and dry the air excessively.

Ceiling materials and design

When choosing a ceiling finish, consider all the nuances of its structure, your future comfort depends on it.

The range of materials for work is quite wide. All known types of decoration can be used. Tension surfaces are suitable, from lining and plasterboard, the main thing is to take into account the roof structure. Sometimes the design does not allow embedding wiring with fixtures, the best alternative would be to make a false or false ceiling.

Tension covers are applied only when a vertical wall is present. Otherwise, given the small area, the close location of furnishings, there is a risk of damaging the surface. Tension systems do not make structures heavier, they are good for all forms of roofs, it is easy to hide any communications behind them.

The most common and affordable finishing methods are drywall and lining, it is also easier to attach decor elements to them.

Attics look very original, in which the ceiling is covered with wallpaper in light colors with a delicate pattern.

Spectacular multi-level plasterboard ceilings with height differences, a large number of unexpected protrusions. Properly beaten sloping roof significantly adds beauty and originality to the entire interior.

Attic wall decoration

The most popular material here is wood. No others compare to him. It is distinguished by the uniqueness of the woody aroma, the microclimate created only by it, and serves as additional thermal insulation.

The simplest solution is clapboard finishing, which has several types of profile and ways of positioning on the surface.

Often used wooden panels made of solid wood or from the same lining. Budget option - laminated and veneered panels, MDF with wood or bamboo veneer. The attic interior with such panels is more suitable for an office, a sports room, so it is better to resort to a combination with wallpaper, painting or decorative plaster.

A relatively new material called wooden wallpaper looks very advantageous. Like traditional ones, they are glued to the wall. This decoration of the attic "under the tree" is very decorating.

A large drawing, the dark color of the walls in the space of a small attic are not entirely appropriate. It is better to paste over the walls with white wallpaper. The soft color of the furniture and splashes of bright accessories will enliven the interior.

A very recent novelty in attic decoration is HPL panels, high-pressure plastic, with which you can implement the most spectacular design solutions.

Of the modern technologies, it is worth mentioning the last "squeak" - drapery of walls with fabrics. Not all walls are decorated with exquisite textiles, but two or one in the center of the room.

Important! When arranging the attic floor, you need to monitor how accurately the technical requirements for thermal insulation of the ceiling and walls are met. If the insulation and ventilation do not meet all standards, there is a risk that the roof and windows will be covered with condensate in cold weather. Dampness and its consequences - the fungus can cause discomfort, household diseases, premature damage to furniture.

Floor covering materials

To the way the floor in the attic is arranged, there are always high requirements. This is due to two very important requirements: good heat and noise insulation. Traditional finishing methods do not solve these problems. The construction of not only a dry, but also the installation of a “floating” base is called upon to satisfy all requests.

For reliable insulation use mineral wool, glass wool. Good waterproofing is also very important. The flooring requires a special base, the role of which is played by boards made of fir, pine, larch, treated with special antiseptics.

The final lining can be anything: linoleum, laminate, parquet, chipboard, carpet, depending on the tastes of the owners, their views on the future function and style of the room.

It’s not worth saving on flooring, because poor quality materials will crack, burn out, and make extraneous sounds over time. A thick layer of insulating material is required. Carpets will serve as decoration, additional insulation, they are more than appropriate on the attic floor.

Choosing skylights

One of the main issues in the construction of the attic is to provide a high level of natural light. Each room should have at least one window, it is better if there are several of them, it is very good when they are not located on the same wall. The width of the windows can be specified, not wider than the distance between the rafters. The length is limited by the top and bottom edge, depending on the slope of the roof.

Modern design

More recently, the windows in the attic were deaf, did not open, they simply crashed into the roof. Now double-glazed windows have at least two glasses. The outer glass can be hardened to increase its strength, the inner glass is treated in a special way so that when it breaks, it does not break into pieces with sharp corners.

Modern frames are able to rotate in one axis or another, directly in the middle, 2/3 from the edge. Rotary devices work both in the manual mode, and by means of the panel.

Not only visible, but also hidden places in the design of wooden windows must be varnished, this is a guarantee of protection against moisture.

Make sure that the lower slopes of the window are perpendicular to the floor, and the upper ones are parallel. This will prevent the formation of condensation, contribute to better lighting.

artificial lighting

The organization of the light supply system depends on the zoning of the space, on how the furniture is located in the room, on the number and size of windows, on the structural features of the roof and ceiling.

There should be a lot of light in the attic. For this, local lamps are used: sconces, all kinds of floor lamps, portable lamps and rotary, point devices. Ceiling chandeliers of varying degrees of power will not become superfluous.

You can refuse the usual chandelier, install spotlights only in the most exploited areas. Only spot lighting is allowed in the bedroom. In the living room, where gatherings and events are planned, install lighting fixtures of a general and local type.

To create a romantic ceiling pattern, the effect of the starry sky, fiber-optic lighting threads are used. In the attic room, any options for local light are good.

Color solution

Since the attic is a specific room, the color scheme in its design is of no small importance. Light colors are preferred, which is especially true for small interiors under the roof. The overall color range must be maintained on all surfaces, including furniture, walls, ceiling, floor. Finishing materials should also be in harmony with each other, make up a single whole.

A space with a deep ceiling needs light and glossy surfaces that reflect light. Visually it will expand the color contrast of the floor and walls. Dark floors and dazzling white walls that have no boundaries with the ceiling will create the illusion of infinity. Ceiling beams, matching the color of the flooring, will become an original part of the structure.

When choosing textiles and furniture, you should also give preference to light pastel shades. A small room will become even smaller if dark colors are abused in the design.

To somehow enliven the interior, bring bright strokes. Transparent curtains will not become an obstacle to light, but they will add a play of shadows, create the necessary comfort.

The choice of the purpose of the premises and the style of its design is always the prerogative of the owner of the house. What to choose depends on his tastes, financial capabilities, lifestyle.

Very often, the owners of country houses think about how best to equip the attic-attic. Many people use it to store various things that they no longer use, but this room can change significantly if it is designed as a bedroom.

Features and Benefits

The attic is a spacious roofed room that can be used to create a comfortable and attractive bedroom. Most owners of country houses try to use every square meter of housing as rationally as possible, so the attic will allow you to conveniently use the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house.

The attic of a wooden house is characterized by maximum environmental friendliness, so it is ideal for a bedroom. The main advantages of a bedroom in the attic:

• "Under the roof" space usually has large dimensions, which will allow, in addition to the bedroom, to further equip the office, dressing room, bathroom and toilet.
• Thanks to the broken shape of the roof, you can easily divide the space into visual zones.
• Designers offer ready-made design projects in a variety of styles.
• Finishing the attic floor can be carried out with the help of materials, regardless of their cost.
• The entire floor can be provided with daylight if you use special inserts to create skylights. This approach will allow you to equip daylight even in the toilet and bathroom.

The bedroom in the attic has some disadvantages:

• The roof should be further insulated to create comfort and warmth, as well as to equip good waterproofing. These actions will require significant financial investments.
• Division into functional zones occurs depending on the shape of the roof - it is impossible to change them to your taste.
• The choice of furniture should be made, adhering to the sketches of designers, since the determining factor is the roof. Items must stand in certain places, and it is forbidden to move the table from one place to another on your own.

Planning and zoning

The layout of the bedroom should be carried out, given the type of roof. The shape of the roof is decisive for the arrangement of furniture. Very rarely, the attic has a straight and even ceiling. In some houses there is no ceiling on the roof at all.

The walls can be located at different angles, which should also be taken into account when planning and zoning the room. All "uncomfortable" places under the roof can be used to equip storage systems.

As already mentioned, the choice of room design depends on the type of roof.

Shed

The best option when arranging a bedroom in the attic is a shed roof, as it allows you to use a variety of options for arranging the room. The design with a window located in the roof will perfectly complement the interior of the room. It is better to place the bed near the wall at an angle. Cabinets can be placed along a straight wall.

The bed can be located near a straight wall. It can be surrounded by shelving with closed or open shelves. Under the dressing room, you can take a small part of the attic. This solution is often chosen if there is a balcony in the attic and the exit to it should be left free.

gable

An attic with a gable roof can be used to decorate a bedroom, but its shape does not allow you to put a large, spacious wardrobe for clothes. You can create storage systems along the walls, but this option is only suitable for spacious rooms.

If each slope has a window, then it is very convenient to zoning the room. One part of the attic can be used as a bedroom, and the second - as an office.

The gable roof is perfect for creating a children's room, designed for two children. This option allows each child to equip a separate area. Usually the beds are under the low part of the roof, and the center of the attic remains free and suitable for games.

If desired, the space can be divided using a screen or curtains. Spacious rooms allow you to divide into zones using a rack.

Mnogoskatnaya

This version of the roof creates some difficulties in decorating the room, but it provides an opportunity to prove yourself as a decorator. If you correctly beat all the drops and kinks, then as a result you will get an original interior.

A roof with beams or with racks can be a highlight of the interior if you choose the right style direction. The arrangement of furniture can cause some difficulties, but if desired, they can be solved.

Spacious attics can be supplemented with plasterboard walls. In small rooms it is better not to buy large-sized furniture. Shelves, chests of drawers, chests and other storage systems will be an excellent choice. If the chosen style allows, baskets can be used to store clothes. They will help decorate the interior of the bedroom.

Shatrovaya

This type of roof is ideal for dividing the space into two equal parts, in which you can equip a bedroom and an office or dressing room. Many prefer the creation of two bedrooms - for parents and children. Near a high wall, you can put a large, spacious closet.

The bedroom can be made without windows in the attic in the house, but then you should carefully consider the lighting, which will allow you to replace daylight. It is better to use several options to create both bright and subdued lighting.

Rooms 4 by 3 meters are small enough for a bedroom, but if you choose the right upholstered furniture, you can create comfortable conditions for relaxation. An excellent choice is a small sofa with a convenient transformation mechanism. To store things, you should use small shelves or a compact rack.

Styles and color palette

If you decide to equip a bedroom in the attic, then you should start by choosing a style direction, since the choice of materials, colors, furniture and decor will depend on it. When choosing a style, one should take into account personal wishes, but it is also worth remembering the dimensions of the attic space, design features and lighting.

Minimalism is often chosen when decorating a bedroom, because it attracts attention with simplicity and conciseness. The interior should be dominated by clear lines, a minimum amount of furniture and decorative elements. Do not use more than three colors.

Today, very often when decorating attics, a marine style is used. It requires the use of blue, green, beige or turquoise in an ensemble with white. Such combinations create a feeling of free space, lightness and airiness. To visually correct the shortcomings of the room, you can apply a marine pattern - striped.

Scandinavian style is ideal for embodying a calm and cozy place to relax and unwind. When decorating the ceiling, walls and floor, you can use white brick, natural wood or plaster. This will give the interior naturalness and comfort. The use of light colors is suitable for a small room, as it will visually increase its dimensions.

The loft style is characterized by versatility, therefore it is acceptable for decoration both for small and spacious attics. It is characterized by the use of metal, brickwork and ceiling beams. The disadvantages of the attic can be perfectly beaten in this style. Since the loft requires free space, it is not worth making a distinction into zones.

The attic can be arranged in a classic way if it has a large area and is equipped with large windows. This style requires bulky furniture, the presence of a large chandelier, maintaining strict shapes and lines.

For lovers of the English style, it will not be difficult to decorate the bedroom, since you can use natural wood furniture, bright textiles and a variety of accessories. The presence of all the details will give peace and comfort.

Country style is found in many country houses today. It has several varieties, among which French Provence looks advantageous. The walls are made of wood, the presence of beams act as the main decoration of the attic. The interior can be filled with light furniture with carved elements. A sofa upholstered in textiles in a small flower will look elegant.

Color selection for finishing the attic requires taking into account the style direction of the room, as well as remembering the specifics of the attic:

• The presence of windows on the ceiling creates a kind of illumination, since the light flux passes at an angle.
• For a spacious attic with large windows, you can use a dark floor. The walls can also be decorated in dark shades. Gray walls are best complemented with light furniture.
• If there are windows in a small attic small size, it is worth using materials in pastel colors for wall and floor decoration. To place bright accents, you can use decorative accessories or furniture of an unusual design.
• Having huge windows allows you to use the play of contrasts, but dark colors should not be overpowering. A good solution is an ensemble of white and black.
• For peace and tranquility it is worth using pink, olive or beige for interior decoration.
• If you decide to stick wallpaper with a pattern on the walls, then a small pattern is perfect, which makes the room visually more spacious.
• If you use saturated shades for decoration, then it is worth choosing textiles and furniture in bright colors.
• Combined finish suitable for large attics with large windows.

Lighting

The attic usually has non-standard lighting, and therefore requires a non-standard approach to its organization. The choice of lighting depends on the number of windows, their size, which side they face. Depending on the lighting, you can correctly plan the location of furniture, as well as place lighting fixtures.

photos

Usually attics are poorly lit because they have few small windows. An additional light source will help completely change the situation. The east side offers the best illumination.

Designers are advised to adhere to several recommendations for arranging lighting in the attic:

• The presence of mirrors will make the room brighter. They should be placed in such a way that windows and chandeliers are reflected in them. The room will visually look more spacious.
• Each attic needs to be equipped a central lamp, as well as supplement with table lamps, sconces and floor lamps.
• Lighting is often used for the bedroom with point sources of illumination, which are installed on a cornice bar, and easily change the angle of illumination. This option will visually make the space larger.
• Additional window will help to radically change the situation with lighting. If this is not possible, a fake window can be used. A frame is hung on the wall, tinted glass or a mirror is inserted into it, which is illuminated by LEDs. Additionally, the window should be decorated with curtains.
• The bed looks great, decorated with spotlights at the head. This design solution looks impressive and fresh.

Furniture arrangement

To create a cozy and attractive attic bedroom, you should carefully select furniture, textiles, and accessories. The roof creates certain difficulties in choosing furniture, as well as its location.

Owners of private houses often wonder - what to do with the attic? Usually this room is used to store old things and various rubbish. But isn't it better to equip a full-fledged room under the roof? A cozy attic bedroom is the perfect solution to this problem.

A bit of history

The French architect François Mansart suggested using attic space as early as the first half of the 17th century. In 1630, he designed the first house with a high sloping roof, under which the main bedroom was located. Since then, this room has been named after its talented author.

Mansart wanted to use the attic for arranging full-fledged rooms, so he greatly changed the shape of the roof, thereby creating additional space for living. To make the room look less like an attic, large windows were provided in the attic at the end and small ones right on the roof slope between the rafters. So the rooms became light and comfortable.

In the 19th century, industrialization forced many people from the provinces to move to large cities, so there was an acute issue related to the lack of housing. It was then that the attic began to be widely used by the poor as a full-fledged housing.

Planning and zoning

The design of the attic bedroom is more dependent on the type of roof. How to allocate space? Where to put the furniture? Will there be a bathroom in the attic? The answers to these questions depend on the shape of the roof.

Shed

This is the simplest option in terms of planning. In this case, the bed is usually located under the slope of the roof, and a wardrobe and other storage spaces can be equipped along a flat wall.

gable

The difficulty here lies in the placement of a large closet. However, this drawback can be compensated by numerous storage systems located around the perimeter of the room.

On a gable attic, you can equip two bedrooms at once or a bedroom and an office. It all depends on the space you have. Often in such an attic there is a children's bedroom for two children.

Mnogoskatnaya

The design of the attic bedroom with a multi-pitched roof has its own characteristics. With the right decoration of all the kinks and drops, you will become the proud owner of a truly exclusive room.

The ceiling in the attic in a private wooden house has beams and ceilings. By choosing the right stylistic direction, you can make them a feature of the interior.

Expert Tip: discard bulky cabinets, replacing them with numerous chests of drawers, chests, hanging shelves and low racks.

Insulation, sheathing and lighting of the attic

The bedroom in the attic of a wooden house should be warm and comfortable. The attic is insulated with mineral wool covered with plywood or expanded polystyrene. The walls of the wooden attic are sheathed with clapboard, and the attic of the stone house is covered with plasterboard.

The lighting of the attic bedroom should be carried out by specialists, as the roof structure has many fire hazardous wooden parts.

Expert Tip: Use copper wires for attic lighting. Discard the junction boxes, use a separate circuit breaker.

Choosing a style for decorating the attic

The interior of the attic bedroom depends on your taste, preferences, room size, layout and lighting.

Provence

Provence is a French rustic style that is ideal for decorating attic spaces. A Provence-style attic room looks cozy and does not require excessive costs during repairs.

Wooden beams on the ceiling will be a decorative element, while white furniture with carvings and floral print textiles will make your bedroom warm and comfortable.

Loft

This stylistic solution is perfect for both large and small rooms. Brickwork, raw wood, chromed metal - these are indispensable attributes of the loft style in any interior. A modern attic bedroom will look very organic in a loft style.

Classic

The classic interior will look organic only in a large attic. After all, this design direction requires the use of massive furniture, heavy curtains, a crystal chandelier, etc.

Minimalism

A minimalist attic bedroom is a great solution for a small room. Light shades, a minimum of decor and furniture, clear lines, simple silhouettes and restrained colors - that's all that characterizes the attic in a minimalist style.

Photo gallery

In our gallery you will see dozens of photos of attic bedroom interiors. Perhaps some of these design solutions will appeal to you too!

The attic is a living space located under the roof. The main feature of this room is the partial or complete absence of a classic ceiling, as well as sloping walls. In view of this, the design of the attic rooms is both complex and interesting. Here you can equip any of the premises: a game room, an office, a bedroom, etc.

Many designers believe that the bedroom is the ideal room that is best suited for the attic. This is facilitated by the good availability of light, the visibility of the sky and stars, beautiful ceiling beams.

Arrangement of the attic

If it is decided to equip the space under the roof for a bedroom, then first you need to carefully insulate it, as well as solve issues with heating and lighting, after which you can proceed directly to the design.

When choosing finishing materials, in particular wallpaper for the attic, it is extremely important to pay attention to natural light, and if the amount of it is not enough, then lighter shades should be preferred. Such a choice will avoid a nondescript look, and will make the bedroom brighter and more comfortable for rest at any time of the day. In addition, many people know about the features of light shades to make rooms visually more spacious.

Style selection

The choice of materials largely depends on the style in which the attic bedroom is designed. And in this matter, you can rely on the recommendations of designers, as well as on your own preferences. Although you can choose any of the existing styles as a basis, the most common choice is in favor of the following interior design options:

• modern;
• traditional;
• minimalist style.

Sophistication and at the same time modernity will give the room furniture and interior items of the simplest geometric shapes.

If the bedroom is made out in a country house and lining is used as a lining, then the room itself can be decorated in a country or Provence style. The design of the room in a classic style involves pasting the walls with wallpaper with a pleasant pattern or painting.

Color solution

The main color of the wallpaper for the attic floor should be chosen based on the location of the room relative to the cardinal points. With a northern location, it is worth making a choice in favor of light and warm colors that will give the room warmth and comfort. If there is no definite solution, then you can use the universal white color, diluting it with bright color accents, such as pistachio, pink, blue, pink, olive color.

When there is a desire to meet every morning in good spirits, you should prefer fresh colors with some coolness that perfectly cheer you up: shades of blue, the color of young greenery, rich yellow, mint.

Well, since the attic has a certain, beveled geometry, this feature of the room can be emphasized with wallpaper in contrasting shades.

Decoration Materials

When designing the design of the walls of the room, as well as when choosing wallpaper for the attic, the type of structure should be taken into account. If we are talking about a country country house, then wall panels or lining can be used to decorate the walls. But if an attic bedroom is being designed in a full-fledged residential building, then preference should be given to more noble finishing materials used in modern homes. Most often, the choice is made in favor of wallpaper.

Real comfort and coziness can be obtained if you choose textile wallpaper for the attic bedroom. With insufficient natural light in the interior of the room, the wallpaper should have a larger pattern, but in order to create an atmosphere of peace and complete relaxation, you need to choose wallpaper with soft patterns and ornaments.

When decorating the walls in the attic bedroom, you can use, for example, contrasting colors of wallpaper, which are pasted over the vertical and inclined surfaces of the room. Designers resort to this method of arrangement most often, as it allows you to get a more unusual, and at the same time, attractive interior.

Pasting features

Wallpaper for the attic floor depends solely on the personal preferences of the owner of the home. It can be vinyl, paper, bamboo, non-woven, and other canvases. The main task is to, regardless of the material chosen, adhere to the recommendations given by the manufacturer regarding the work surface.

Typically, attics are sheathed with plywood, chipboard, and other wood-containing materials. Based on this, it is necessary to carefully prepare the surface:

1. Padding- in this case, it is worth choosing a composition that is suitable for a highly absorbent wooden surface, in which case the wallpaper glue will not be strongly absorbed and lead to swelling of the plates;
2. Alignment of joints- those areas where the plates are fastened should be glued with a sickle, then puttied and sanded, while achieving perfect uniformity of the coating and a smooth wall surface.

How to glue wallpaper in the attic? In general, everything is simple, and the principle itself is not particularly different from gluing standard paintings in an ordinary room. The very first sheet of wallpaper should be glued along the intended vertical line. First of all, walls with straight edges are glued, after which they proceed to the triangular vertical sections of the attic. All inclined planes are pasted over as a last resort.
