Owners of countryside and private houses have recently begun to use more actively than before. This is due to the possibility of obtaining additional space without global construction work. And even the need to insulate and remove the heating to the attic floor does not stop those who want to allocate a cozy corner for a bedroom or a nursery.
Design of the second floor of the attic
Why is the gable roof so fond of designers? Firstly, due to two sloping walls and large windows, the area is already divided into zones and it remains only to design them accordingly with the idea. Secondly, with sufficient space, you can always use gypsum cardboard and make even a separate room, which expands the field for the designer eye.
Most often it is necessary to talk about the design of the attic with a bedroom, a study or a nursery. The combination of the office with the bedroom is also not uncommon. On two sides have beds, and this is the best fit, when the task is to divide the entire room into separate zones for each child.
If we are talking about the design of a two-story mansard under the office, then the table is always located at one of the attic windows, opposite it is a bed or a sofa. If the window is located at the end, the area under the rest zone is shifted to the entrance.
The original design of the attic
In fact, you are not constrained in the choice of style and you can afford any one you like. Due to the use of various techniques, an interesting design is obtained.
- The most original element in the design of the attic by right should be the ceiling of the second floor. Agree, you can not leave the sloping structure without attention, because it is already a highlight of the room. And here in the course go any tricks. A textile ceiling made of a transparent curtain, the output of wallpaper or other material from the wall to the ceiling, the second reception works well for the area of the bed. The original will look a little rough wooden ceiling with beams. The beams themselves are either covered with wax and preserve the color of the wood, or painted in a soft diluted white.
- The original design of the attic is achieved not so much accents in the decoration, as the selection of the furniture itself. Traditional apartment furniture here will be a stranger. But interesting, even vintage things will become the heart of the room. Untreated wood, industrial style and beds with forged elements, podiums in place of a classic bed and a lot of drawers - all this will convey the style and adapt it to the attic.
- If you are planning to divert the attic with a gable roof just under the rest room, then design can be an unconventional solution. For example, a swing in the middle of the room, suspended furniture, original frameless structures.

Nuances of using the attic

More mundane projects for the attic require quiet tones and simple finishing materials. There is no need to build something grandiose, you can bring yourself closer to nature by decorating a room in eco-style, or you can create a bright room with bright accents.
From the attics are beautiful children, because any child dreams of his own space, and if it will be on the top floor, it already gives a lot of impressions and space for games.
Bedroom in the attic
The construction of a bedroom in the attic is a very good option, because it is in this room that a person spends most of his time in a horizontal position, resting with his soul and body, so that the roof slopes will not interfere and press. But, before arranging a sleeping room in the attic, you need to think over the interior design and other details that are very important:
If the house already has a master bedroom, then the attic can be stopped in the guest room. Only the location of the beds changes, they are placed along the slopes of the roof.
Bedroom + bathroom in the attic
This variant of the attic floor plan will be good for oblong houses. One half of the room is occupied directly by the bedroom with a bed, a closet and a dressing table, and to the second half, sewerage and plumbing communications are supplied, and a bathroom is equipped. There is installed either a bath, or a shower and a washbasin. Additional elements can also be in the attic, if space permits. You can see such a design solution of the attic in the photo:
Children's room in the attic
Many think that the children's room in the attic - it's not safe, but if you take care of the stairs along which the child can easily walk up and down, the children's room in the attic will become the child's magic world.
Important! If the area allows, then in the attic it is quite possible to make a bedroom for two children with zoning.
Under the playing area you need to assign the place of the attic where the ceilings are the highest. Here, cabinets and shelves for toys and books are installed, and a Swedish wall can also be installed. Near the window you need to put a table for developing classes and lessons, so that natural daylight passes inside, and there was no need to turn on the table lamp.
In the attic children's beds can be installed in various ways:
- Under the roof slopes parallel to each other.
- One is located under the ramp, the second - at the end wall.
- At the opposite walls.
- It is also possible to simply place in a room a bed with two tiers or the one in which the sleeper leaves when necessary.
To increase the arrival of light attic windows need to be replaced by those that are larger in size, and the walls are decorated with light tones with a dilution of bright accents.
General rules for the design of the attic
Such a premise, like an attic, needs more than others to not look like an attic. In the attic of roads every meter of space, so it should be visually increased, not only in relation to the walls, but also the ceiling. Surface Finishing
The walls in the attic can be painted, covered with wallpaper, lining, decorative panels, as well as any material that the owner likes and approaches the overall designed design.
Particular attention is paid to the ceiling of the attic. In general, it has beams, which are often left uncovered or completely isolated, as shown in the photo below.
So they become the main accent of the room. Ideally, this solution is suitable for a room in the style of loft, country or eco.
If the interior of the room is planned modern or classical, then the beams in the room must be removed under the drywall.
Advice! To create a common surface of walls and ceiling, you can use the same material for decoration without creating visible transitions.
If the owner of the house does not particularly favor the sharp corners, then they are softened very simply by soft upholstery of the ceiling or fabric panels.
The main thing is the color
Bright colors in a small area usually play a very important role. They can be used not only in accessories, but also in the design of switches, skirting boards, wall parts and other interior elements. If you put the accents in the room correctly, you can achieve unique effects in the design of the attic.
Especially beautiful and magical look door frames, which are painted in bright colors. They, as it were, open the entrance to a new, unexplored world. If you decide to trim in a bright color scheme, then the switches should approach it, especially since buying colored buttons is not at all a problem at the moment. It would seem that this is not so important, but it is the details that make up the whole interior of the attic.
In the issue of finishing the walls for the attic, you need to choose something simple, not too pretentious. For example, it will be wonderful to maintain the atmosphere with wood trim with racks or lining. Beneficial will look at the attic panel with imitation wood.
If you do not want to decorate the attic with woody notes, then you can choose high-quality light wallpaper, for example, an Italian brand. Wallpaper can be chosen and more modest, but it is necessary to combine quiet colors with bright and saturated, so that the room does not look boring. If the choice fell on the wallpaper, then you do not need to choose a large pattern, it is better if the ornament is shallow. Thus, the room visually increases.
For large attics with panoramic windows in the finish you can use a dark color, but it is important not to overdo it and still leave room for light inclusions. It will be especially interesting to look at the classic black and white interior of the room. However, it is worth remembering that a predominant role is played by a light tint.
Mansard lighting
Mansard rooms have a peculiar design, which prescribes an individual approach to the lighting device. The arrangement of furniture and the location of light sources is planned depending on where the windows are directed and if there is enough light from them.
Typically, attics are not always equipped with panoramic windows that let in a maximum of light, so there are several design techniques that will help solve the problem of light deficiency:
- Use mirrors that are placed opposite windows or light sources. Reflecting the falling light, they illuminate the room in addition and visually increase the space.
- Install not only a central light source, but also additional lights, lamps, table lamps.
- For a mansard, spot lights are often used, which are located on a single ledge and directed to where lighting is needed.
- If the windows are too small and there is no additional possibility, you can install a frame with a tinted glass or a mirror on the wall, which is highlighted by an LED light.
- The bed can be decorated with point light sources, which are located in the niche.
Attic style
In order for the room to look harmoniously it is necessary to fill it with decorative elements, but this can be done only after determining which style will be kept indoors. And the style is selected depending on the design of the bedroom, its lighting and the preferences of the owner. Let's consider several styles with photos that are most suitable for a mansard room:

And what about the design of the bedroom on the roof? The main thing is a bed. Double bed can be set with a headboard to the window. The photo shows how it looks.
It is important to consider how the roof is placed. It can be installed as a vertical wall, and to the roof slope.
If you do not want the sun to shine in the morning, then Roman or roller blinds will come to your aid. There is a small trick - if you put the bed on a small elevation, then under it a place is created where you can put books, things or bedding. It will be convenient if you put bedside tables on the sides of the bed. This design is quite common.

The good news is that children do not need the same height of the room as for adults. They will be satisfied with the presence of their own room, especially looking at night to the starry sky.
The interior design for the attic as a nursery is simple:
- That part of the attic, where the height is greatest, will be the place for the game zone.
- Places where the gable roof sinks to the floor, make it a storage site for toys.
- On the wall near the window there is an opportunity to hang a shelf for toys.
- For children to be able to do homework or create something, place a table and chairs near the window.
- As for the bed, it can be installed near the roof slope, the other - at the end wall.
To add more light to the game room, the usual dormer windows should be replaced with larger ones. In the interior you can use different colors, in particular, light colors. And thanks to the bright details (shelves, chairs, lamps), you can make the attic not so boring. In the photo you can see how the child looks from the attic.
Make a room for guests
If the attic has a window, then the design and arrangement of the room is greatly simplified. Sunlight fills the room, and you get one free wall at the front of the room. It can be used as a plane for creating a video zone or installing an artificial fireplace.
And if the space has the lowest height, then you can put a sofa or an armchair. All that is required is to finish in bright colors and add a few bright moments. This will help to make a small attic space with a gable roof beautiful, cozy and modern.
If you make a mansard in light colors and it will be filled with sunshine, then none of the guests will say that earlier it was a non-residential premises where any unnecessary trash was stored. To make the interior more elegant, use light furniture, surfaces with glass or mirror, shiny accessories and lighting fixtures. This will create a sense of ease.
