Furnishing a child’s bedroom in the attic: what to think about?
The attic is a separate space – isolated from the rest of the house and quiet. This is a real asset for a child’s room, which is thus away from noise and agitation. However, it is important that the places are also safe for the little ones.
In this true suite dedicated to children, a playroom separates the landing from the bedroom. The space is not really closed, however, since we have adopted the interior glass roof, which is still very trendy. Playful and original, the interior netting opens up the attic on the ground floor. If the places benefit from a great calm, they thus remain open to the rest of the house: a bias that can prove to be more reassuring for children.
Because of their size, children can take full advantage of the attic despite the sub-slope, even when the ceiling height is relatively low and the room is small. This is all the more true as their perception of space differs considerably from that of grown-ups! However, it is important to be careful to choose the color of the room. In this cottagecore-inspired child’s room, we opted for a light green. Here’s an idea to steal without hesitation: this shade is one of the most effective colors to enlarge a small room, and it is also one of the most trendy colors of the year.
Sometimes, the roof spaces profit from a remarkable height under ceiling. What can be an asset for fitting out a parental suite or a bathroom under the roof turns out to be more delicate in a child’s room. The youngest need a safe and cozy place to sleep well. Here, we have placed the bed judiciously in an angle, and we have bet on the association of liberty wallpaper and parquet to create a cocoon spirit.
The smart alternative in a child’s bedroom in the attic benefiting from a high ceiling height is the mezzanine. This solution makes it possible to extend the surface of the room, and to structure it in a rational way. The mezzanine creating a fun cabin spirit, it generally hosts the play area, while the space dedicated to rest and homework is installed on one level. In this room full of gaiety, we played on the color to further break the height of the ceiling and create a real demarcation between the play area and the rest area.
