The attic - a previously unclaimed room that was used only as a warehouse or a place to live for servants, is now phenomenally popular. The unusual atmosphere, bizarre bends of the roof, the proximity of the starry sky, the special air and the mystery of the space make it possible to make the interior of the attic special and unique, so this room often becomes one of the most favorite places of all family members.
When thinking about the layout of the attic interior, it is necessary to take into account all its features and try to maximize the use of the available usable space. The presence in this room of places with different ceiling heights, a wide variety of hidden corners should not hinder the flight of designer imagination, but, on the contrary, only stimulate it and inspire to create an unusual and exclusive interior. Of course, it is good if the construction of the attic was carried out in accordance with an already defined project, providing for the use of this room for predetermined purposes. In such cases, it will be much easier to equip it, because it already has the necessary windows, it is thoroughly insulated, all the necessary utilities are summed up, which will quickly create the conditions for maximum coziness and comfort.
However, even if the house previously had a not very well-equipped attic and reconstruction of the attic is planned, you should not despair, each owner can carry out all the necessary construction work and create a functional and original interior.
The main property and the main advantage of each attic room are considered windows. The more light there is, the more peculiar and interesting the final result will be. Non-trivial attic geometry allows you to install windows of not too ordinary configurations and sizes, which, ultimately, is only to the benefit of the interior creator. What could be more interesting, for example, a huge window above the bed, into which the stars shamelessly glance at night? Or huge French windows on the floor, creating a feeling of flying and freedom? Therefore, windows are rightfully considered one of the central design elements of the attic space.
In general, the interior of the attic completely depends on what functions it will have to perform. A spacious room with a relatively flat roof is usually assigned the role of a living room, while small attics with a broken roof shape are ideal as children's rooms, bedrooms, cabinets. The large size of the room allows you to equip it with a billiard room and a relaxation room or gym, and the availability of the necessary communications makes it possible to organize a kitchen and an additional bathroom.
Be that as it may, while creating the interior of the attic, you must strictly follow one rule: all the unusual architectural features of this room must be wrapped in your own favor, and when choosing a color scheme for decorating walls and ceilings, do not get carried away by dark tint tones. The side parts can be used for a variety of built-in wardrobes, and try to arrange furniture along the walls without cluttering up the central part of the attic.
In principle, for this original room it is best to use light furniture in a modular version and custom-made. Standard modern furniture, which fits well into a normal room, can very easily spoil the unusual interior of the attic, while custom-made cabinets, sofas, tables and other items will fully comply with the intended design of the room.
Attic loves not only daylight. Therefore, the abundance of a variety of lamps, floor lamps, spotlights, gently illuminating in the evenings all corners of this mysterious room, will make the interior of the attic even more refined and attractive.
Equipping the attic room, do not get carried away with creativity, giving it a sacrifice of valuable usable area. While developing bold and original design ideas, one should not forget about functionality, which is extremely undesirable to neglect.
