We are thinking about the design of the attic
Before we begin the design of the attic rooms, let's take a close look and remember how the rafter system was erected. Do you have a stone house? Hence, the legs of the rafters rest on the Mauerlat, and, most likely, there are no additional supports( such a system is also called a hanging one).However, even if there is a support, this means only that the width of the attic can reach 12 meters, and this gives a considerable area of premises.
If the rafters are tightened by tightening, this too can be advantageous, for example, they can be mounted on the horizontal plane of the suspended ceiling. If the pitch between the additional supports is large enough and they stand in pairs, you can use them as a basis for the transverse partitions. And with sufficient space it can be divided into small rooms and longitudinal walls.
Also, when planning to do the design of the attic with your own hands, consider the areas that are less suitable for obzhivanie under the slopes, on the edges, where neither to rise in full growth, nor even sit down with convenience will not work. If you have both supports and diagonal tightening, you can think of interesting options for incorporating these structural elements into the overall decor.
We create the design of the attic
The first and the main thing when decorating the rooms under the roof is the finish of the internal surface of the skates, of course, performed after careful insulation with waterproofing. If you have a warm multi-layer roof with foam concrete, internal insulation is most likely done symbolic, and the rafters are almost completely open.
In this case, you can decorate the attic, hiding them entirely under the sheets of gypsum board, or, on the contrary, highlight the rafters, lining with the same material. The same with additional supports along with diagonal tightening - they can be turned into small piers, breaking space into separate zones, or left as is, simply covered with plasterboard.
Inclined windows in the attic must be done taking into account that through them 40% more light penetrates into the room than through vertical window openings.
Tighteners can be made of decorative, from thick uneven branches, even after facing the walls with plasterboard, but in this case it is necessary to leave the rafter legs in sight or to fill the finish with imitation of rafters from the same twigs. Very attractive will look beams, the natural color of which is emphasized by varnish, they can also give the texture a darkening of the time.
But in this case, the same colors should be included in the decoration of the room, in particular, it is possible to lower the wooden panels along the perimeter of the room. And if you go further and totally beat the stingrays from the inside with a tree, make the floors of a massive board, then we get the design of the attic in the rustic style.
The maximum effective interior design of the attic
If you have space, part of which can not be used for moving or arranging furniture, which is often encountered when designing the attic rooms, you need to find such areas for practical use. The most common option for the effective use of low spaces under the roof slopes is the manufacture of built-in cabinets and pedestals with shelves and doors .
In the same places you can arrange floor lighting, which in the evenings will create a very cozy atmosphere. Another way to create an interior design of the attic in view of uncomfortable zones is to take more of the ramp area under the glazing. The bold decision will make the roof completely glass, using large packages.
This option is not suitable for severe winters with very low temperatures, it will be more appropriate in areas with mild climates. However, if you just make high windows from the floor and almost to the roof ridge, it will turn out very original. And how to design the attic in the piers between the windows, it's not difficult to think of. You can arrange small tables with flowers and souvenirs, there is a place for a TV with video equipment.
