House with an attic has its own characteristics. The mansard room today can be used in unexpected ways: depending on the footage, it is equipped with billiard rooms, kitchens, canteens, cabinets, and recreation areas. We will discuss how to arrange a bedroom in the attic - a place where none of the household members can disturb your peace.
Room features
Attic - is a rather peculiar element of the house. From the attic, it differs in that it is heated and listed in the regulations, as a dwelling of a particular dwelling. However, the degree of comfort she has is much less than that of standard rooms, and therefore the approach to her arrangement under the bedroom should be special. At the same time, it is often necessary to think about holding water, creating a comfortable warm floor, taking into account the nuances of the layout.
A distinctive feature of the attic is the slope of the walls. Here their role is performed by the roof slopes. And so when you think through the design and placement of furniture, you have to take into account the height of the walls, the angle of their inclination, and the number of ramps. That type of roof will be a fundamental factor in the choice of furniture, its size. In addition, the walls will indicate the type of wall cladding used.
The peculiarity of the attic is the oblique or vertical arrangement of the windows, and depending on the design of the roofing itself, they can be not only symmetrical. HOften design them so that they differ in size and even shape. Some rooms have a glass wall with access to the balcony.
Of particular importance is the light - in the attic, it always leaves much to be desired. If the windows overlook the north side, the attic seems not only dark, but also visually heavy. In this case, it is necessary to pay special attention to the nuances of its arrangement. Select the finish for the wall ceiling has to take into account its ability to seemingly expanding the room.
It is important to take into account the location of the doorways leading to the attic and balcony. (if available). Often the attic floor is complicated by heavy beams, causing havoc in the furniture layout. However, with a skillful approach to drawing up the interior of the bedroom, they can be used as elements of zoning. This technique is particularly appropriate in a small room where you need to use each centimeter as rationally as possible.
Layout
Layout bedroom attic can be different. It depends on the type of room, the height of the roof, its complexity, the type and method of opening the windows, their size and location. Based on the layout, the attic can be asymmetrical and symmetrical, with a sloping ceiling or balcony. But regardless of the available footage, it should be cozy and convenient for a comfortable stay of a person.
To create the best conditions for a particular person, when planning, it is necessary to take into account his habits, gender, age, lifestyle, and preferences in interior styling. Together these factors will help to create a design project or the so-called scheme of the future bedroom. It is necessary to arrange all the elements of the arrangement in the most rational way, leaving space between pieces of furniture for free passage.
The design project will allow not only in the arrangement of furniture: it will show which of its elements will better fall into place. It will save the household from the tedious rearrangement of furniture in search of a better option. This scheme is especially necessary when the attic is small, with low sloping walls. Visual drawing will allow you to arrange the necessary set of furniture in it, making a clear distinction for the organization of space.
The project with the scheme can accommodate not only a bedroom with a minimum set of furniture. If there is enough space in it, some part of the space can be allocated to the dressing room. If it is an attic floor, there will be a place in it for arranging a bedroom with a bathroom. In addition, the attic can play the role of a combined room in which the bedroom can be combined with the nursery or office.
An excellent option for arranging an attic in a country house is the bedroom option + recreation area for a teenager. Such a room, in addition to the bedroom, may have different functional areas. For children, these are playing spaces, for teenagers, corners where they can play sports, boxing or develop musical skills (playing the guitar, electronic instruments, singing).
However, the layout itself often suggests how best to use its design features for a specific design.
Space zoning
Interior zoning is an important component of any room. It allows not only to divide the bedroom into cozy corners, but to give it maximum comfort on every inch of usable space. Attic can be zoned by various methods:
- using separate lighting for a specific area of the room;
- making out walls of different wall finish;
- playing on different functional corners of the space by means of floor cladding;
- obosablivaya specific area of the room carpeted;
- creating partitions of furniture;
- separating the bed with a screen or textiles;
- cycling constructive ledges, niches, attic beams.
As for lighting, here it is necessary to build on the number of zones. For example, allocate a place of a bed, besides, add built-in illumination along the perimeter. If the bevel at the walls is large, the wall lamps are replaced by floor lamps. When the roof is not duo-pitch, but has 4 slopes, and the height allows, sconces are fixed on the walls.
Carpets are a classic of the genre, with their help, in addition to zoning, a home-like atmosphere is created. Separation of space through furniture can be done by turning, for example, a rack or bed. The same racks can separate sleeping space from the rest area, in which there is a sofa and a couple of chairs. You can set the desired atmosphere and delimit the space with the help of accessories, for example, a small gallery of paintings or photo frames.
The projections or the existing partitions perfectly delimit the sleeping space. But at the same time, it is better to put the bed closer to the window, so that when you wake up, the person does not create disorientation of time. At the same time, even vertically arranged windows can become zoning elements if the bed is placed directly under them. At the same time, a sleeping place is well-isolated, when on one side it is limited by a shallow niche.
Color solutions
Color solutions bedroom in the attic are subject to its size and degree of illumination. Given that there is always little light, preference is given to light colors, including white, milky, beige. If the room is bright, you can add a light gray companion, bluish, pink, lilac, or something bright to white. Looks very good in the interior of the attic light green color. And so that it blends harmoniously into the design, its number can be quite small.
When choosing a color, it is necessary to take into account the style of the interior. This nuance will allow you to choose the color with the desired texture, beating the disadvantages of a particular room.For example, the same blue or pink can be satin or glossy, which is good for modern design trends and visually increases the space. In this case, the tone can be cold, neutral or warm.
The design in light gray tones would be quite appropriate if a part of the finish is cast in mother-of-pearl or silver.
The children's bedroom in the attic can be made in a combination of pink and white, pinkish with pistachio, blue with beige or sand. If the room is flooded with sun, which is rare, in the arrangement, you can use bright colors: orange, juicy green, pink, turquoise. As for harsh and aggressive tones, they are not suitable for attic space, as well as their rough combination (for example, red with black, acid-orange or poisonous-lemon with black, red with green, black with woody).
When choosing a color, it is necessary to take into account not only gender, age and tastes of a person - color perception is also of particular importance. For example, blue color, in addition to introducing coolness into the interior, can cause an incomprehensible depressive state. Red eventually begins to annoy, it does not allow to relax. Pink is suitable for the beautiful half of humanity, but men do not like it. Neutral options that are suitable for everyone can be decisions in favor of light shades of a beige scale.
Style selection
The style of the interior is often prompted by the type of ceiling and windows. For example, the existing beams allow you to create from the attic a bedroom in the style of a loft or Provence. In addition, with a skillful approach to the design, here you can implement such areas of design as styles:
- grunge;
- country music;
- chalet;
- eco;
- Scandinavian;
- ethnic;
- Oriental;
- minimalism;
- modern;
- high tech.
The interior of a bedroom in the attic in a private house can be the most diverse, whether it is a modern style or retro or classic. In this case, much will depend on what style is taken as the basis for the design of the house itself. Style should not be radically different, because when entering the bedroom, users may experience discomfort.
Bold decisions can be made by adolescents, as well as creative and creative individuals. For example, it can be posters, abstract paintings of small size against the background of coarsely trimmed walls.
In the classic version, the bedroom in the attic should have the illusion of palace solemnity. This is necessarily gilding, the presence of white, elements of stucco. This is possible if the house under the roof has a spacious attic floor. Eastern directions allow the use of compartment doors as screens, although their installation, due to the bevel of the roof, is not possible everywhere.
Minimalism is one of the best solutions for arranging a small attic. Such a bedroom does not have unnecessary furniture, often everything that is needed is embedded in constructive projections or for specific things, drawers of the bed or its shelves are used (in the case when the bed has them). A minimum of things and accessories visually increase the space. Modern is notable for its elegance, although this style of interior needs space.
Interior finish
The finish for the walls and floor in the attic is chosen very carefully. If the room is small, it is undesirable to use cladding materials that require framing. As a rule, in this case, approximately 7 cm of usable space is taken from the walls, and therefore the room may seem tiny and uncomfortable. Spoiling the area can and warming, but if you can not do without it, then there is no other way out.
The choice of material depends on the style of the bedroom, taken as the basis of design. As for the wall paneling, this skinning is quite specific, although it is in demand among buyers. However, wood decoration in a wooden house often gives the bedroom an atmosphere of a bath, and therefore the room with it seems extremely uncomfortable.
At the same time, customers often do not take into account the fact that wood is quite capricious in the interior and needs contrasting contrast.
For example, when there is a lot of it, the texture is lost, the bedroom seems to be a wooden box, and it is rather heavy in terms of perception. In this case, such a lining is not always possible to justify the eco-friendly design style. When choosing finishes for the attic of a wooden house, you can stay on the wallpaper or painting. The accent part of the wall can be decorated with laminate or wallpaper.
Depending on the number of roof slopes and its shape, part of the ceiling can be decorated with a stretch film. Of course, in this case, with inclined windows, the frame construction will be quite complicated, but the appearance of such a ceiling will be very respectable. The walls inside can be sheathed with light-colored wall panels.
If at the same time facing of a floor will differ from them in color and the invoice, such room will look very beautiful.
The windows inside can be decorated with curtains, having bought bars for fixing to them below. The curtains of the modern type, the size of which usually does not extend beyond the windows themselves, look quite harmoniously on the skylights. For example, it can be blinds, pleated blinds or Roman variants.
If the attic ceiling is high and there is enough space, you can decorate it with a hanging chandelier. You can support the design wall sconces, placing them by the bed. The accent part of the wall at the head of the bed can be decorated with a stretch film that passes to the ceiling. Depending on the chosen style on the finishing material can be located the corresponding figure.
The ceiling can be decorated with modern creative type lighting (for example, with built-in lights, a spider lamp, and spots), and it can be painted in part, purposely highlighting beams.
