Interior of the attic

The interior of the attic in many respects will depend on itsplanning, and the layout, in turn, - from the form of the roof. If, say, a flat slope at the roof, the useful area of ​​the attic will be smaller, because the bevel of the roof will form sidewalls, which can not be moved. Broken gable roof provides more "space for maneuvers".

So, planning the interior of the attic, you need to try to squeeze the maximum out of the limited space. First you need to take care of a goodillumination of the room, otherwise your attic will be pretty dull. You need to order special attic windows - they cost more than usual, but without them in any way. How many windows to put - your business, but keep in mind that the norms of the area of ​​window panes should be at least 10% of the area of ​​the room.

Also, do not forget about the insulation of the attic, ventilation and air conditioning, heating, utilities, electricity. Without this, you can not make a living room out of the attic - it will at least be uncomfortable. Only by solving such "mundane" questions, you can engage in interior design of the attic.

To the interior of the attic was not only beautiful, but also functional, it is necessary to maximize the use of sidewalls formed by the slope of the roof. There you can not put furniture, because the ceiling is too low, but they can be used to store things. Therefore, in the sidewalls are often equipped with niches, shelves, shelves and built-in cabinets.

The interior of the attic will also depend on the function of the attic. In the attic with a high broken gable roofoften make a living room, because such attic spaces are more spacious. And in small attics more often play the role of a bedroom or a study, and occasionally a children's room, because such attic is more comfortable. Some even manage to equip the kitchen or bathroom in the attic, but because of the need to connect the communications, this is a rather difficult task.

However, regardless of the functions assigned to the attic, the arrangement of furniture there is usually subject to the same principle: furniture is put along the walls, and the middle of the attic remains free. This is done because the attic is usually narrowand elongated, and this arrangement of furniture leaves "space for maneuvers." If the attic is large enough, you can use zoning space, but only due to the difference in colors, textures and lighting. The screens and podiums in the attic rooms are not the best solution.

As for furniture, then The best choice for an attic is light modular furniture. First, it will easily be raised in the attic -and try to drag into the attic space an ordinary bed or a wardrobe! Secondly, modular furniture allows you to change the interior of the attic, if it suddenly bores you - it is easy to transfer from place to place and combine in a new way.

In those places where the ceiling of the attic is lower,you can put a bed (in the bedroom), a desk (in the office) or a sofa (with a living room). But be sure to make sure that you do not hit your head if you suddenly stand up from the table (from the sofa) or sit on the bed. At all, The lower the ceiling in a certain area of ​​the attic, the more low furniture there should be put.

It may seem that the interior of the attic spoil the beams that support the roof. But you can not get away from them, therefore Instead of complaining about the presence of beams, try to be interesting to beat them. In many ethnic interiors beams are an excellent decoration. Therefore, try to beat beams in the interior of your attic, say, with the help of original lighting.

Attic - the room is unusual, so the interior of the attic must be unusual. It is in this room that you can afford bold design solutions. But you do not need to sacrifice functionality for the sake of creativity: mansard rooms and so small, so do not need to do them even less, wasting the usable space irrationally.
