How to rationally use the bevels of the roof of the attic for the equipment of the dressing room or office
Usually in the attic floor of a country house they place bedrooms and children's rooms, less often a relaxation room. The functionality of the extra space is limited. And if one bedroom on the main floor is enough? Or do not children come to the country? To store in the attic unnecessary furniture, clothes and everything that is in large quantities taken to the cottage from city apartments? It is possible, but it’s better to optimize useful square meters and equip it in the attic, using its important design features, for example, a full-fledged dressing room, making cabinets in the space formed by the roof overhangs. Or equip a study, where the cabinets made in the same way will serve to store documents, materials and books.

Attic of a country house
Modern country houses are mainly designed with an attic floor, which can significantly increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe entire structure.
Due to its features, the attics successfully solve the problems of creating additional residential areas, warm and bright, in which, with a certain imagination of the owners, dreams of a cozy corner for relaxation, as well as common premises for household purposes, come true. In addition to additional living space, houses with an attic have many other advantages:
- complete isolation from other rooms of the house
- they give originality to the entire structure
- the ability to use to create almost any room (for functional purpose)
- with a competent arrangement of dormers, a large psychological effect due to a multiple increase in sunlight
Types of attics
According to the layout of the attic, they differ in the geometric structure of the frame base and the structural arrangement of the walls and ceiling. They can be regular rectangular
triangular
asymmetric
with bay windows
and loggias.
Attic finish
An important part in the arrangement of the attic is its good insulation, so a reliable insulation is laid between the roof and walls with a ceiling (URSA 100 mm thick is perfect) with mandatory vapor-waterproofing. The rough finish is made of plywood, hardboard or particleboard.
Sheathing the walls and ceiling can be with various materials (for some reason, many use lining), MDF boards or block house will look original. Also, do not reject finishing options using drywall, which can then be glued with wallpaper, although this method of decoration should be treated carefully and carefully, only making sure that the house is not subject to seasonal deformations.
The floor is best covered with a laminate. Skylights are of great importance, the element is quite expensive, but if used correctly, it gives a lot of advantages both in terms of appearance and in lighting the space of the room.
Attic design
How will the attic look from the inside? The answer to this question must be taken care of even at the design stage and to prepare a truly original attic design that emphasizes the individuality of the house and the preferences of its owners.
Consider several design options for the attic space.
Often in the attic there are unshipped rafter beams and this, to a certain extent, can become a winning design decision if the beams are located at an equal distance from each other and are symmetrical to other elements of the attic, they only need to be highlighted and they will give the room an elegant look.
Color is very important in the design of the attic, since good illumination due to dormers allows you to use many combinations of different shades. Well, and how to do without indoor plants, because this design element for the attic is not only necessary for decoration, but also useful because cleaner air just contributes to a good rest.
Wardrobe in the attic
As for the pockets formed by the bevels of the roof, their most optimal purpose is wardrobes for clothes. And since there are wardrobes, you can equip a wardrobe room in the attic, especially if a significant amount of time is spent in a country house.
Shelves for storing things can also be open, and if the attic is small, then you can replace them with shelves-transformers. If there are no built-in wardrobes, you can simply place clothes under the bevels on metal bars.
A small dressing table (and it will certainly be necessary) there is always where to put it, but it is better to place it near the window. It remains only to hang a large mirror and summer cottages will be where to spend time. A cloakroom in the attic is an excellent solution, because it is spacious, light and has a lot of space for clothes and shoes.
Attic office
Another possible type of functional solution for using the attic floor is to set up an office there, which is also very convenient if the dacha is used as a place of permanent residence. The isolation and good natural light of the attic will make it a wonderful home office, and the window can be located not on the right or left, but on top.
The cabinet is usually characterized by a minimum of furniture, and in the attic it will be even smaller, since cabinets built into the rafter niches, as such, will not be considered cabinet furniture.
