So, the creation of a bathroom in the attic floor must begin with a water pipe and sewage systems. The complexity of this process depends on the individual layout of the house, but in any case, this task is quite feasible. To facilitate the work, it is recommended to decorate the bathroom above the kitchen area.

Any bathroom is a room with high humidity, and on the upper floors humidity and condensation develop even more rapidly. Therefore, during the design of the attic, in the first place, it is necessary to provide the room with reliable waterproofing and thermal insulation. As a finishing material for the walls of the bathroom in the attic, it is recommended to use waterproof panels or ceramic plates.

The main feature of this room is a sloped ceiling, which simultaneously brings pluses into the design and creates some difficulties during the decoration. This feature of the layout visually makes the space smaller, if during the design of the bathroom does not take into account some rules:
- First, it is desirable that there was a window on the sloping wall. On the one hand, it will visually expand the boundaries of the premises, and on the other, will make the interior even more colorful and original. In addition, without a window in this room it will be very difficult to get rid of steam and condensate. Since you can not attach any curtains to such a window, it's better to decorate decorative blinds or cassette curtains at once. If there is no window on the sloping wall and it is not possible to make it, then the surface of the wall should be covered with glossy material. Also here you can hang a mirror.
- Secondly, the area, which is under the angle of the pitched roof, must be used for functional purposes. If the size of the corner allows, you can put a bath or toilet. If the angle is too sharp, at this point you can equip the necessary shelves or lockers for storing things.
However, you need to take into account that the window, located on the sloping surface, necessarily needs a drainage.

Bathroom layout in the attic: furniture and decoration
Due to its unusual layout, the bathroom on the attic floor needs some furniture rules. Since the size of this room is often not very spacious, during the design of the bathroom you should try to maximize the use of the entire area. In some cases it can be quite difficult to find the furniture that is suitable for the size, so for sure, some items will have to be made to order.
Most often close to the sloping wall is installed a bath or toilet, but if the angle does not allow this, you can use additional wall panels. In very small in size attics it is recommended to install shower cabins instead of the bathroom.
