Once upon a time, the attic of Paris was a dwelling place for the poor, a haven of impoverished bohemians. Over time, it has become a full-fledged residential 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 bedroom in the attic is an interesting task, the solution of which can be elegant, strict, luxurious or elegant, according to the tastes of the owners.
In the first case, at the stage of the project, it is necessary to provide for raising the roof and erecting low walls above the first floor. So it is possible to make maximum use of the floor area under the roof slopes to accommodate furniture. The second option, where the bevels of the roof adjoin the floor (if the attic of the old village house is being rebuilt) reduces this opportunity - to move around comfortably where a person can straighten up to full height. However, this small inconvenience can become a serious dignity. Built-in storage cabinets that fill a triangle between the floor and the sloping ceiling, will help hide a lot of necessary things.
The huge advantage of the attic room is the possibility of tie into the roof of the windows. Experts recommend not to be 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 lighting, this design will become a source of emotional pleasure, a real window into the world through which you can observe the running of clouds, the falling of snow, the streams of rain.
The design features of the attic make this premise initially cozy, filled with a special atmosphere, so the arrangement of the bedroom is a good opportunity to create a room where a peaceful night's rest will be provided.
Layout
The under-roof can be placed under the bedroom as a whole. Then the arrangement of furniture takes into account the presence of end windows, ventilation pipes, chimney chimney, staircase and fencing. This option involves placing the bed under the bevel, which is not entirely convenient. Avoid discomfort is possible if you divide the attic across a light partition or a transparent rack.
Most of the room will remain a sleeping area, the bed will be the headboard to the partition, which will ensure its approach from both sides and the opportunity to admire the view of nature. The bed can easily be moved by the headboard to the window, but the natural light will prevent it from being filled in the mornings, and the curtains are moved daily, moving around the mattress is not very convenient. If the owners of the bedroom insist on this option, then there is an exit - installation of curtain rails with a control panel.

A smaller part of the attic can be occupied by a dressing room with dressing table, mini-cabinet. If you plan a global reorganization with laying sewer and water pipes, then a small compartment will be occupied by a bathroom (shower). The bathroom, where there is a window - a real luxury, which is rare enough, a dream that is worth pursuing.
If the area of the house is significant, and the attic space is divided into several bedrooms facing a small corridor, the arrangement of large pieces of furniture is made relative to the walls lined along the roof ridge, taking into account the door and window openings.
Refuse the idea of putting a bed in front of the entrance door, it's better to slide it slightly sideways. At the subconscious level, a person does not feel secure if his sleeper is on a straight line with an entrance, and therefore can not sleep well.
Variants of sleeping area: guest, children's, adult
Thinking about the design of the bedroom in the attic, one should start from the appointment of a sleeping room, which can be:
- guest;
- child or individual;
- the main bedroom (couples).
The first option implies that the room is open when guests stay overnight. Often, the attic guest is empty. The owners use the space of the lower floors, and these premises 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, the age of the owners of the room, the frequency of using a country house (vacations, regular visits, permanent residence) different requirements are imposed on the interior of the bedroom.
Guest appointment determines the minimum area of the premises, the use of neutral finishing materials, the lack of special decor, as well as a small number of pieces of furniture necessary for holidaymakers. The room must contain:
- bed;
- bedside table (surface for mobile phone, books, glasses of water);
- A small chest of drawers for clothes, if the visit plans to last several days;
- chair, armchair, bedside bench (the opportunity to sit down, put the removed things).
To make visitors feel comfortable, the decorative design of the guest attic bedroom should be very reserved. Add the cosiness of the asceticly furnished room will be able to properly selected fixtures, soft mats at the bed, curtains, decorative pillows, a wall composition of framed photographs.
Choosing photos for guest rooms is better to give preference to landscape or animalistic images. Particularly interesting are black-and-white photographs or those made in sepia.
Child kingdom: we give the attic in full possession
"To whistle all up!" - sending such a team of children to sleep, rest assured that they will instantly be inside your room, if by interior you were engaged together and created there a pirate ship, training ground, a fire tower, an academy of wizards.

What child does not dream of having his own house? The attic provides such an opportunity. Separated from the rest of the house by the staircase, the room becomes an individual space, where access is not accessible to everyone. Here the child feels like a master, here he can play, create, play sports (if it's bad weather on the street), read, be yourself. Here fantasies become reality: a sea chest and a telescope transform the wooden floor into a deck of a high-speed corvette, the dormer windows become a mirror of the telescope so that the young astronomer can observe distant galaxies, the Swedish wall and the rope allow the brave firefighter to do his work.
It will be optimal to provide the child with all the attic rooms 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 clamshell beds that 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 game.
One part of the attic should be equipped with elements of a sports corner, instead of standard chairs, use benches, chests, chair-bags, and a table for classes to be placed along the window.
If there is such an architectural design in the attic, as in a loft, then in the groove near it, consider a bench with pillows and a rug - a place for reading with the opportunity to observe the beauty of the garden will become one of your favorites.
Children's bedroom, as a component of a private home, does not require a lot of furniture - most of the time the child spends on the street or with parents in the living room. Several colorful details (drawings, maps, photos of family trips) are able to give the necessary mood to this room.
Romantic bedroom for a girl
According to the Russian tradition, unmarried daughters' rooms were always on the upper floors of the buildings under the roof itself. Working on the bedroom interior for a modern young girl, a teenage girl, you can recreate the image of the light or its easy replica, using the appropriate color scheme and furnishings. Also, skilfully combining several styles directions (shebbi-chic, provence, a la Russe, eco-style), you can get a contemporary, or withstand a room in a strict style unity.
If the owner is not keen on Gothic motives, and the room is needed, first of all, for recreation, then its coloristic solution is better to perform in light shades. Especially effectively bleached tones look on the wall surfaces (when the room is trimmed with wood or the open main material of supporting structures is preserved), covered with loessing, tinting compounds, allowing to see the wood structure.
Selecting textiles (curtains, bedspreads, furniture upholstery, decorative pillows), you should focus on soft, structural tissues. Deep folds of light translucent curtains, decorated with pickings, will not obscure the sunlight, but they can muffle it a bit by adding a privacy room.

For textile design, the patchwork technique "patchwork" is a good technique. Wall panels, bedspreads, pillows, rugs will make the bedroom bright, elegant, slightly "rustic", emphasizing belonging to a country house.
Picking up pieces of furniture, try to pay attention to the openwork metal. The wrought back of the bed and chairs near the office, the gracefully curved legs of the bedside bench, the bedside table with wrought iron details and glass surface, the transparent shelves on the monogram consoles - the ease and some fun things filling the bedroom will create the necessary atmosphere of a cozy corner of girl 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. In accordance with the size of the space, following the desire of the owners, it is quite feasible to create a unique, rich, luxurious interior to emphasize the purpose of the room and the status of the couple, as owners of the whole house.
Playful rococo, gilded baroque do not fit the architecture of the attic, requiring high ceilings and large windows. However, using natural ecological materials (wood, leather, fur), you can create a sense of luxury, reproduce the entourage of a five-star spa hotel or a mountain resort, especially if the main window has a beautiful view, and through the windows you can see the stars.
Saturated deep tones of the textile design of the bedroom, wall and floor finishing 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 predominance of the night over the day. Bed linen is selected under the predominant color of fabric with a light shine (silk, satin, satin). Several rows of pillows leaning against the head of the bed, which is better called a bed due to the size, massiveness, quality of the material and the skill of execution, a furred fur coat made of silk, lined with silk, and a bedside bench, form a real "island" of rest. The bed becomes the focus of luxury, comfort, brutal splendor, characteristic of the Capetian era or the Scandinavian kings.
Heavy curtains on the cornice, repeating the shape of the window (arch, triangle, beveled opening, circle) are designed to cover a private space from the views of neighbors. In the absence of such a window opening can be left open by installing a frame painted from the inside out to match the color of the room. Hidden lamps, hidden in the walls, will provide directional light where illumination is required. Point light sources can be mounted flush with floor covering around the perimeter of the room, creating an intriguing play of shadows.
The rich design of the attic bedroom for a couple through touching the smooth skin, flowing fabric, fluffy fur, polished wood surface time, will give owners a taste of maximum comfort, bliss and sensual pleasures.
