Ideas for the attic room. Modern harmonious options for finishing the attic with your own hands: photos, basic materials, original ideas

Did you dream as a child of a tree house where you could climb away from people and equip a nest?

The girls dreamed of a house for playing mother-daughter. The boys are talking about the Viking's home, Mowgli, the pirate's hut.

But now you have your dream home. That's luck! It has an attic space. We remove all the garbage from there, ennoble it and work through it.

With our tips, a photo selection and a video on its arrangement (we will post a link to the video at the end of the article), this will not be difficult to do.

Features of the attic under a gable roof

We have already described many options for transforming the attic in a private house. Therefore, we will not repeat ourselves. We only note that most often the owners of this multifaceted room think about how to use the angles between the roof (aka the ceiling and wall) and the floor to good use.

But we also talked about this - you can put at least a small dressing room there.

In a house with two slopes in different directions, there are more opportunities. Especially if the roof is high. That is, it does not rely on the ceiling, which is the floor for the room, but on the walls. Then the room will seem more spacious and roomy.

But whether the roof is hip, mansard or with gables, you can use the attic to your advantage. And it’s easier to draw projects not on whatman paper, but in one of the special applications or programs for interior design.

AT in general terms we previously talked about materials, textiles, attic highlights, how to beat beams and slopes. Now I would like to dwell on such variations in more detail. attic room- bedroom and nursery.

It is assumed that preparatory work on noise and waterproofing, insulation and ventilation have already been carried out.

We make a bedroom from the attic

The bedroom is the most optimal solution for such a room. In it you relax, that is, spend time in a horizontal position. So pitched roof will not interfere with a comfortable stay in the room.

It remains to bring the design of the attic with gable roof to perfection.

A double bed can be placed against the window headboard. Look at the photo. Depending on how the roof stands, the bed is placed either against a vertical wall or against a roof slope.

Lying in bed you can admire the stars

Wake up with the first rays of the sun

To prevent the sun from blinding your eyes through the window, curtain it with Roman or roller blinds(we wrote about their choice).

Beds can be placed on a dais, then there will be a place to store books, bedding and other things.
On the sides of the bed are bedside tables.
Take the opposite side of the attic under the beauty zone: dressing table, a screen for changing clothes, a rack for clothes, a chest of drawers or make a false wall with a TV.
And if the roof rests on the wall, then in this part of the attic, equip a dressing room of a linear type.

If you already have a bedroom, then an additional guest room can be made from the attic room. The only difference is in the placement of the beds - they are placed under the slopes along the entire roof.

Important! Remember about color scheme and its impact on the space. It seems that the bedroom with white furniture - good idea. Diluting the snow-white interior bright accents, it will not be boring - read the article again about the use of white in the interior.

Bedroom with bathroom

This option is good for oblong houses.

Part of the room is reserved for the bedroom. Since they only rest and relax under the roof, there should be enough space for a closet, a bed itself, a dressing table, a bedside table.

In the second half, it will be necessary to carry out water and sewer pipes. And the rest: a shower cubicle or a bathtub, a sink, a toilet bowl is already selected in accordance with the size of the resulting hygienic room.

In the same way, you can make a bedroom and a study or library out of the attic room. Only other communications will be required.

Children's room in the attic with a gable roof

It may seem to someone that making a nursery in the attic is a reckless and careless decision. But, if you take care of the safety of children, install a good and reliable ladder, then everything is not so terrible.

Tip: in the attic you can make a children's room for two children of different sexesby applying zoning using different shades.

The advantage of a children's room in the attic is that kids do not need the same height of the room as adults. And the children will be happy to get a separate room - because it is high, and through skylight stars are visible. In addition, they love their own secluded nooks, "chalabudas", closets - here they feel like real owners.

Part of the room with greatest height assigned to the play area.
Where the roof drops to the floor, equip various storage areas: shelving, chests, chests of drawers, cabinets.
On the wall around the window, you can hang shelves for books and a collection of dolls or cars.
Place one or two tables near the window for lessons or creativity.

Beds can be arranged in various ways:

opposite each other under the slopes of the roof;
one bed where the roof slope goes, the second at the end wall;
beds at opposite end walls;
put a bunk bed;
install a double bed, where the second bed leaves from under the first.

To make the room bright, it is worth replacing the dormer windows of the middle or small size for big ones. And use white in the interior, bright hues. And bright details: textiles, furniture facades, chairs, shelves, lamps, will add contrast and make the room not so boring.

7 important nuances when designing an attic

The attic is a rather specific room. Therefore, every detail must be carefully considered.

Much attention should be paid to insulation and engineering work. The level of comfort of staying in the room depends on this.
It is desirable to use light colors in the decoration - they add space.
bright or dark interior can "press". However, an eco-style attic or loft will look appropriate if you use light colors and a smooth texture.
Standard furniture may not fit in size, so you have to order it.
Use layered lighting.
Large panoramic windows are preferable to small ones. And from excess light, you can hide behind blinds or Roman blinds.
The room upstairs is more closed than downstairs - try not to use synthetic materials.

The attic in the country is quite modern technical solution. The arrangement of the under-roof space gives us the opportunity to use an additional room, and therefore it is worth considering carefully possible options erection and finishing of such structures.

Below we will tell you how to properly assemble the frame of the attic of a country house, and what you need to pay attention to when finishing.

Construction erection

truss system

It is advisable to initially design a country house with an attic with the expectation that under the roof there will be a residential, or at least actively used room.

And one of the most important parameters will be the shape of the roof incorporated in the design:

The easiest way is to equip the attic under single-pitched or gable roofs with capital gables. In this case, the gable parts will take on a certain share of the operational loads, and the rafter system will be more reliable.

It will be somewhat more difficult with a hip roof. A large number of beveled planes leads to a limitation of the internal space, because the attic part will be quite cramped.
Hip roofing for our purposes is practically unsuitable. It is possible to equip a full-fledged room under it only if the dimensions of the building are significant, and country houses are usually made compact.

So let's say we choose optimal design roofs. Next, we need to build a frame of rafters.

The instruction recommends starting work with mounting the Mauerlat - the support beam. We lay thick beams with a cross section of at least 200x200 mm along the perimeter of the house in the upper part, and securely fix it to the load-bearing walls using steel studs with a diameter of 12 mm or more.

Rafter length, mm	Rafter pitch, mm
Rafter length, mm	2100	1700	1100	900	600
3000	100x150	75x150	75x150	50x150	40x150
4000	100x200	75x200	75x175	50x200	50x150
5000	100x250	100x200	75x200	75x175	50x200
6000	150x250	100x250	100x200	75x200	50x200

At the bottom of each rafter we make a cutout for attaching to the Mauerlat. To fix the parts, we use either large roofing nails or steel plates.
In the upper part we connect the rafters with a ridge beam. We attach the edges of the ridge beam to the pediment.

Advice!
With a long slope, we strengthen the structure uprights and braces, and top corner connect with a puff.

Roof

The next step is the creation of the roof. One must be sufficiently reliable and well protect the interior from leaks and wind.

Do-it-yourself roofing installation begins with the arrangement of waterproofing:

We lay a special membrane directly on the rafters, which will prevent blowing and will be a barrier to precipitation. We place the material panels with an overlap of at least 50 mm and fix them to the load-bearing beams using stainless steel brackets.
Next, we mount the crate. On the rafters with outside stuff either wooden slats(under piece roofing material), or OSB sheets or moisture resistant plywood (under shingles, ondulin, etc.).

Advice!
It is better to treat all parts with moisture-proof impregnations and an antiseptic.
The price of such materials is relatively low, but the service life of the roof base will increase at least twice.

We fix the roofing material on top of the crate. Since a dwelling will be located under the roof, it is worth choosing the highest quality varieties. Decking, for example, is too "noisy", so it will be uncomfortable to be in such an attic.
At the final stage, we fix the ridge pad, install wind strips on the sides, fix drainage and other small details.

This concludes our work on the outside and you can start finishing the attic from the inside.

Interior decoration

thermal insulation

For insulation, it is best to use the following materials:

Mineral wool. Possesses low heat conductivity, practically does not burn, is easily mounted. The downside is the rather high cost.
extruded polystyrene. Sufficiently dense and durable in itself, retains heat well. Relatively easy to process and install on the frame.
Styrofoam. Economy option, which is seriously inferior to the two previous materials in terms of operational properties. In addition, it is often damaged by rodents. The main advantage is low cost.

The process of warming is not difficult:

Panels of heat-insulating material are laid between the rafters, avoiding compression.
We roll out a vapor barrier film on top of the insulation, which will protect the material from condensation. We fix the vapor barrier to the rafters with a stapler.
From above we stuff thin (up to 15 mm) planks of the counter-lattice. This will allow us to create a gap for air circulation between the finish and the heat insulator.
Also, do not forget about floor insulation. To do this, we lay heat-insulating mats between the floor beams or fill in granular material (expanded clay, perlite).
To minimize heat loss, we seal the hatch cover leading to the attic floor, if such a design is provided for by the project.

Finishing

The design of the attic in the country usually involves the use natural materials . That is why a lining board is most often used for wall cladding.

Among the most popular species are pine, ash, walnut, beech and oak.. The last two options are distinguished by high cost and complexity in processing, but they look just great, and they last much longer than ordinary pine lining.
Boards cut to size are fastened to the counter-lattice with nails, hammering them into the groove on the side surface of each part. This mounting technology allows you to hide almost all fasteners.
In addition to boarding country house with an attic, you can finish with drywall. For this, only moisture-resistant slabs are used, since even with the highest quality waterproofing of the roof, the risk of leaks cannot be excluded.

From above, we level the drywall with putty and paint with interior compositions based on latex or acrylic.

At the final stages, we equip the floor:

We lay a moisture-proof membrane on top of the heat-insulating layer. (See also the article.)
Then we mount a rough floor from unedged boards or plywood with a thickness of 15 mm or more.
We make the floor from massive board, or we lay a laminate with good waterproofing characteristics.

Conclusion

The above tips on how to equip the attic in country house, will be useful to almost everyone who plans such an event. The task before us, of course, is quite complex, but at the same time it is quite accessible for independent implementation. And in order to avoid annoying mistakes at the stage of design, construction of the frame and finishing, it is worth reviewing the video in this article again before starting work.

The attic ceiling is a defining part of the interior, because if it is poorly decorated, it will hopelessly spoil the impression of the whole room. Its shape depends on the shape and slope of the roof, and you can learn more about this by reading our article on mansard roofs. Most often, the development of attic design begins with an attempt to correctly assess the features of the layout and determine which finish will most effectively harmonize the interior. A light ceiling, combined with darker walls and floors, visually lifts the room. And the roof, completely sewn up from the inside with wooden clapboard, makes the room complete and cozy, but does not add space. Highly original solution- installation stretch ceiling with backlight.

Idea With the help of a stretch ceiling depicting a perspective, that is, clouds floating into the distance, a starry sky or a landscape stretching overhead, you can radically improve the impression of a low and cramped attic.

Windows in such a room almost always have unusual shape. Therefore, they also need a special approach when designing. It is necessary to develop the design of curtains for skylights, taking into account their size, shape and slope. And, of course, the pattern of the fabric should be in good harmony with the overall interior. It is difficult to give specific recommendations on the choice of material, colors and design for curtains, because this is a purely individual issue. Let's just say that when decorating windows on the attic floor, you should not use heavy, pompous and bulky curtains, since they look appropriate only in spacious rooms.

The attic significantly increases usable area building. For the first time, thoughts about arranging an attic arise precisely when there is a shortage of residential square meters. For example, children have matured and they need a separate extra room. A well-maintained attic allows you not to build an additional second floor of the house.

Spaces under sloping roofs usually quite a lot. Recently, they are increasingly in demand, it is the projects of houses with complex structures big roofs. Open space for the imagination of architects and it's just a sin not to take advantage of this chance. Charming attics become fashion element modern buildings.

arrangement of the attic sheathed with wood

Skylights

One of important criteria arrangement of the attic, is the presence of windows. How many windows should there be and how big should they be? It all depends on total area residential premises. After all, the shorter the period of natural daylight, the more you need to plan artificial lighting sources. And this, in turn, will lead to significant losses of electricity.

If the windows are too small, then the attic area is visually reduced. If the windows are extremely large, then the level of heat loss increases. There is an optimal formula that determines the rational ratio of the size of windows in relation to the attic floor area. The best ratio is 1:8. In this case, the entire attic room will be illuminated as much as possible.

Among the variety of manufacturers, perhaps the most popular on the market, we can name the Velux roof window, which will become a real decoration of your attic. Among the many advantages of this company, one can name the most wide selection models and an exclusive option window - balcony, use natural wood and etc.

How to come up with an attic design

You can equip and come up with a design for the attic yourself. Moreover, the elements of the roof itself, such as struts, roof slopes and racks create a unique interior for each attic. The layout of the attic should be dealt with only after you have carefully studied the entire space under the roof. The area of the future attic largely depends on the configuration of the roof. After all, you need to take into account the number of oblique walls and the likelihood of installing windows.

If the roof is gable, then this is the most convenient option for placing an attic. Windows are harmoniously located here and doors can be placed to access the open part of the terrace. If the roof of the building consists of four parts (hip four-pitched), then the living area of the future attic will be a little less.

Remember general rule: the more bends and kinks the roof has. topics less area attic. After all, the number of slanting walls and sloping ceilings is increasing. In addition, you need to take into account the height of the living quarters. In buildings where it was previously provided for by the project mansard roof, the most easy to mount the attic. The lowest part of the room is usually at least 1.90 centimeters.

So, now we will consider the most important points in the arrangement of the attic. Main question. which each owner must decide for himself is to make an attic with or without a ceiling. The presence of the ceiling allows you to balance the space. But again the problem of the height of the walls arises. for a comfortable stay, the height of the room should not be less than 2.20 centimeters. When deciding to leave the internal structure of the roof and not mount the ceiling, you should take care of the supporting structures of the roof.

Beams and ceilings give a special image to the room with the right decoration of these elements. In addition, you can place additional windows directly on the roof. very original idea. which will allow sunshine illuminate the attic from above. But here you should remember that. that the absence of a ceiling automatically increases the heated area. How to adequately solve the problem?

You can use additional thermal insulation materials or selectively build a ceiling. The remaining space can be perfectly used as a pantry. Often, a heat exchanger or a ventilation unit is located in the area under the roof canopy. Ceiling makes it easier to hold installation work. It is convenient to lay electrical wiring and other communications along the ceiling. the final decision is up to you.
