Furnishing a custom attic: how to make the most of every inch under the roof.
There attic It's a beautiful and complicated space. The slopes of the roof make many spaces unusable with standard furniture. tailor-made This is not an option here: it's the only way to avoid wasting half the room.
Attic cupboards: the first necessity
Standard furniture cannot fit under the slope of the roof. attic cupboards Custom-made, with the upper part following the slope and the lower part accessible. Typical layout: sloping upper door (for less-used items) + standard drawers underneath.
Bookshelves under the beams
The wooden beams in the attic are beautiful but make it difficult to fit in. custom-made bookcase It can be designed to fit between beams, with spans of varying widths that follow the rhythm of the structure. Typical depth is 25-35 cm: enough for books and objects, but not so deep as to take up space.
Bedroom in the attic
Placing the bed under the highest edge frees up space for movement. The containment structures go along the lower edges. custom headboard Wide, under the central beam, it gives space to the most visible wall. Usable heights: at least 90 cm at the wardrobe level, 160 cm where you can stand.
Bathroom in the attic
In attic bathrooms, we place the shower under the lowest slope (the 90 cm height is sufficient for a shower), and the sink toward the high wall. The custom shower enclosure precisely follows the geometry of the ceiling.
Kitchen in the attic
In larger attics, we can also create kitchens under the roof. We replace the wall units with sloping wall units that follow the roof (or with full-wall paneling). The central island, at its highest point, makes up for the missing space at the top.
Natural light: the true value of the attic
Attics are spaces with vertical light, often very beautiful. Working with skylights or skylights, integrating furniture underneath (desks, sofas, beds) maximizes the light. Always use custom-made curtains to manage the light during the brightest hours.
When an attic becomes the most beautiful room in the house
A well-furnished, custom-designed attic, with carefully designed slopes and well-managed natural light, is often the most beloved space in a home. It costs more than a standard room because every piece of furniture is custom-designed, but the result is impossible to achieve otherwise.
