The attic is usually a space in the house that is left over, what we mean by left over, is that space where it is common to be used as a mess deposit.
But like any space in a home, it can be redefined, redecorated and reused, making it a sensational space to create all kinds of environments.
And when we talk about all kinds, it’s all kinds, we can have a library, a room, a games room, a corner for resting, and several other ideas, all we need is imagination, will and a good planning of redecoration environment.
Of course, to start putting these ideas into practice, you need to be aware of how much space is available in your attic, so do this part first.
The famous doubt, what is the difference between attic and basement?
First let’s get this question out of the way, so that we can show ideas clearly, the first difference is the most obvious, the location in the house, the attic is at the top of the house, it is a space between the external roof and the ceiling inside the house, this makes it the highest floor in the house.
The basement is at the bottom of the house, below all other rooms, it is also possible to transform it into a beautiful and functional environment, but that is for another article, today we are going to focus on the attic.
Stairway to attic
And to start let’s talk about it, the stairs, which is the entrance to the attic, after all it is at the top of the house.
The existing models are diverse with different colors and formats, the most common are retractable models that bring convenience when opening and closing and can save a lot of space.
But there are also the spiral models, which are fixed models with a sensational charm for your home.
Attic room
And as we said at the beginning, the environment can be transformed into several rooms, one of which is the bedroom.
With everything a common room has, bed, armchairs, cupboards and shelves.
See the models below with the central bed, or with the side bed, and even using carpet throughout.
Plaster attic
Here the idea is to show models different from the common ones, in which wood predominates in the environment, plaster is also used, mainly on the wall.
Plaster brings several benefits to the room, one of which is the thermal, it makes it cooler, which is usually a weak point of this place in the house.
In addition, the combination of plaster and wood is highly appreciated in the decoration.
Wooden
But we also have ideas for classic models, with wood in its predominance.
With exposed beams and painted in varnish, with a more rustic style, but without neglecting the comfort that the environment can bring.
Small
These ideas are to show that even such a small room can turn into something very functional and beautiful.
In the case of a small size in the space, it is good not to load the environment with unnecessary objects and furniture, keep in mind what you want that room to be, and put the basics so that it becomes that.
Another idea is to centralize the available space, that is, the space that will not be occupied with objects and furniture, should be in the center, so the impression that there is more space is visible.
