The space under the roof was called an attic named the architect from France Francois Mansar, it was he who suggested using the attic as a dwelling. At first, these rooms were used as pantries or workshops. In modern houses, the attic is used for living rooms. Attics are used as bedrooms or children’s rooms. The best option is the premises in which the smallest amount of time is spent. The area of the room under the slopes of the roof creates a unique comfort.
One of the main tasks is to make a section of the room under the slopes wisely and at the same time save the room in the room. The space under the roof can be arranged like any other room: it can be a workshop for creativity (or, as it is now fashionable to say, a “studio”), an office for work, who needs what. But most often they equip sleeping rooms there: under the roof there is a unique peace, far from the hustle and bustle of the first floors.
For natural lighting of the attic, windows are placed in the gables and additionally install special windows – attic. In addition to natural lighting, as in any other room, lamps are used. There is no limit to our imagination, you can install various types of artificial lighting and each option will completely transform the attic. With the help of floor lamps, you can create uniquely cozy corners of your home, highlight certain areas with spotlights, sconces on the wall will emphasize personal space.
To visually increase the volume of low rooms, when decorating walls and ceilings, it is preferable to choose light colors of wallpaper or paint. The choice of furniture is also very limited due to the specific shape of the room – it should be small-sized, it is better to replace large wardrobes with the arrangement of small dressing rooms (in this case, it will be possible to rationally use the space under the lowest points of the slope). Heavy volumetric curtains with lambrequins and other details are unlikely to be appropriate in the design of the attic, rather something light, inconspicuous, almost weightless.
When creating the design of the children’s room, it is better to leave the background of the walls light, but include several bright spots in the design of the room (you can use vinyl stickers with the image of animated heroes, a bright rug, wall paintings.).
When designing the attic, the spaciousness for creativity has no boundaries.
