Design of a modern bedroom in the attic: 35 photo examples
Once the Paris attic was the home of the poor, the haven of the poor bohemia. Over time, it became a full-fledged living space of multi-storey buildings, and in country cottages - a source of additional square meters. Accommodation in the under-roof space of the bedroom is a good option for arranging a private recreation area inside a private home. Therefore, the design of the attic bedroom is an interesting task, the solution of which can be elegant, strict, luxurious or elegant, according to the tastes of the owners.
The construction of a summer house or a mansard with an attic instead of a full second floor will significantly save financial resources and labor, but get almost the same total area. When converting a non-residential attic space, the advantages are greater:
square meters are growing;
the number of rooms is increasing;
a small cottage can accommodate more guests or expand the space for families.
In the first case, the project stage should include raising the roof and erecting low walls above the 1st floor. So it is possible to maximize the use of the floor area under the roof bevels for furniture. The second option, where the bevels of the roof are adjacent to the floor (if the attic of an old village house is being rebuilt) reduces this possibility - it is convenient to move around where a person can straighten up to his full height. However, this small inconvenience can be a serious advantage. Built-in storage lockers that fill the triangle between the floor and the sloping ceiling will help to hide a lot of necessary things.
The huge advantage of the attic is the possibility of tapping windows into the roof. Experts recommend not limited to a single opening, but to design a combination of several windows lined with a square or a strip from the bedroom floor to the roof ridge. In addition to additional natural light, such a design will become a source of emotional pleasure, a real window into the world through which you can observe the running of clouds, falling snow, rain streams.
The design features of the attic make this room initially cozy, filled with a special atmosphere, so the arrangement of the bedroom is a good opportunity to create a room where a relaxing night's rest will be provided.
Layout
Roof space can be given under the bedroom as a whole. Then the arrangement of the furniture takes into account the presence of end windows, ventilation pipes, a chimney flue, a staircase and a fence. This option involves placing the bed under a bevel, which is not very convenient. It is possible to avoid discomfort if you divide the attic across the wall with a light partition or a transparent shelving.
Most of the room will remain a sleeping area, the bed will become the headboard to the partition, which will provide an approach from both sides and the opportunity to admire the view of nature. It is easy to move the bed with the head to the window, but natural light will make it difficult to fill up in the morning, and it is not very convenient to move the curtains daily, moving around the mattress. If the owners of the bedroom insist on this option, then there is a solution - the installation of curtain rods with a control panel.
A smaller part of the attic can be occupied by a dressing room with a dressing table, a mini-cabinet. If you plan a global conversion with the laying of sewer and water pipes, then a small compartment will occupy the bathroom (shower). A bathroom with a window is a real luxury, which is quite rare, a dream that is worth fulfilling.
If the area of the house is significant, and the attic space is planned to be divided into several bedrooms facing a small corridor, then large pieces of furniture are placed relative to the walls built along the ridge of the roof, taking into account door and window openings.
Give up the idea of placing the bed opposite the front door, better move it a little to the side. On a subconscious level, a person does not feel protected if his sleeping place is in a straight line with the entrance, which means he will not be able to sleep well.
Options for the sleeping area: guest, children's, adult
Thinking over the design of the bedroom in the attic, you should start from the purpose of the sleeping room, which can be:
Guest
child or individual;
master bedroom (couples).
The first option implies that the room is open when guests stay overnight. Often the attic guest rooms are empty. The owners use the space of the lower floors, and these rooms are not in demand. The second is for one person or a child (several children). The third is a closed recreation area, which is used only by an adult couple (home owners).
Given the nature, age of the owners of the room, the frequency of use of a country house (vacation, regular visits, permanent residence), different requirements are imposed on the bedroom interior.
The guest appointment determines the minimum area of the room, the use of neutral finishing materials, the absence of special decor, as well as a small amount of furniture needed by vacationers. The room must contain:
bed;
bedside table (surface for a mobile phone, book, glass of water);
a small chest of drawers for clothes if the visit plans to last several days;
a chair, an armchair, a bedside bench (the ability to sit down, put down your things).
To make visitors feel comfortable, the decoration of the guest attic bedroom should be very restrained. Correctly selected lamps, soft rugs by the bed, curtains, decorative pillows, wall composition from framed photographs can add comfort to an ascetically furnished room.
When choosing photos for guest rooms it is better to give preference to landscape or animalistic images. Especially interesting are black-and-white photographs or taken in sepia tone.
Children's kingdom: we give the attic into full possession
"All hands on deck!" - sending such a team of children to sleep, be sure that they will instantly find themselves inside their room if you worked together on the interior and created a pirate ship, training ground, fire tower, and wizard academy there.
Which child does not dream of having his own house? Attic provides such an opportunity. The room, separated from the rest of the house by a staircase, becomes an individual space where not everyone can access. Here the child feels like a master, here he can play, create, play sports (if the weather is bad), read, be himself.Here fantasies become reality: a sea chest and a telescope turn a wooden floor into the deck of a high-speed corvette, dormers become a telescope mirror so that the young astronomer can observe distant galaxies, the Swedish wall and the rope allow the brave fireman to do his job.
It will be optimal to provide the child with the entire attic of the country house. If there are several children, and the multi-day visits of their friends are common, several beds should be provided (either a full bed and folding beds, which are collected and then stored inside a closed compartment). They can be placed under the bevels of the roof, then the free central space will remain gaming.
One part of the attic should be equipped with elements of a sports corner; instead of standard chairs, use benches, chests, bean bags, and a table for classes along the window.
If in the attic there is such an architectural structure as lucarne, then in the depression near it, think over a bench with pillows and a blanket - a reading place with the opportunity to observe the beauty of the garden will be one of your favorites.
Children's bedroom, as part of a private house, does not require a large amount of furniture - the child spends most of the time outdoors or with parents in the living room. Several colorful details (drawings, maps, photographs of family trips) can give the necessary mood to this room.
Romantic bedroom for a girl
According to Russian tradition, the rooms of unmarried daughters were always located on the upper floors of buildings under the roof itself. While working on the bedroom interior for a modern young girl, a teenage girl, you can recreate the image of a little lamp or his light replica using the appropriate color scheme and furnishings. Also, skillfully combining several styles (shabby chic, provence, a la rus, eco-style), you can getor withstand the premises in strict style unity.
If the owner is not passionate about Gothic motifs, and the room is needed, first of all, for relaxation, then her coloristic decision is best done in light shades. Especially spectacularly whitened tones look on wall surfaces (when decorating a room with wood or keeping the main material of load-bearing structures open), covered with glaze, tinting compositions that allow you to see the wood structure.
Choosing textiles (curtains, bedspreads, furniture upholstery, decorative pillows), attention should be paid to soft, structural fabrics. The deep folds of light translucent curtains, decorated with hooks, will not obscure the sunlight, but they can muffle it a bit, adding a privacy room.
The patchwork patchwork technique is well suited for textile decoration. Wall panels, bedspreads, pillows, rugs will make the bedroom bright, elegant, a little “rustic”, emphasizing the belonging to a country house.
When choosing furniture, try to pay attention to openwork metal. The wrought-iron headboard of the bed and armchair near the bureau, the gracefully curved legs of the bedside bench, the bedside table with wrought iron details and a glass surface, the transparent shelves on the monogram consoles - the lightness and some amusement of objects that fill the bedroom will create the necessary atmosphere of a cozy corner of girlish dreams.
Master bedroom: luxury behind closed doors
Do not think that in the attic bedroom it is possible to equip only a simple, unpretentious room. According to the size of the space, following the owners' wishes, the task of creating a unique, rich, luxurious interior is quite feasible to emphasize the purpose of the room and the status of the couple as the owners of the whole house.
Playful rococo, gilded baroque do not fit the attic architecture, requiring high ceilings and large windows.However, using natural eco-friendly materials (wood, leather, fur), you can create a feeling of luxury, reproduce the surroundings of a five-star spa hotel or mountain resort, especially if the main window offers a beautiful view and you can watch the stars through the windows.
The rich deep tones of the textile decoration of the bedroom, wall and floor decoration materials, furniture - cobalt, burgundy, dark brown with the effect of aging or drizzle, silk-chocolate - are designed to emphasize the purpose of the room, the prevalence of night over day. Bed linens are selected under the dominant color of fabric with a touch of light (silk, satin, satin). Several rows of pillows, leaning against the head of the bed, which is better called a bed because of the size, massiveness, quality of the material and workmanship, a fur cover made of silver fox, lined with silk, a framed bed bench form a real “island” of relaxation. The bed becomes the focus of luxury, comfort, brutal splendor, characteristic of the era of the Capetians or the Scandinavian kings.
Heavy curtains on the cornice, repeating the shape of the window (arch, triangle, beveled opening, circle) are designed to hide private space from the eyes of neighbors. In the absence of such, the window opening can be left open by installing a frame painted inside the color of the room. Hidden lights hidden in the walls will provide directional light where lighting is required. Spot lights can be mounted flush with the floor around the room, creating an intriguing play of shadows.
The design of the attic bedroom for couples, saturated with details, by touching smooth leather, flowing fabric, fluffy fur, wood surface polished by time, will give the owners a taste of maximum comfort, bliss and sensual pleasures.
