Furnishing a teenager’s bedroom in the attic: what to think about?
A priori, the teenager’s bedroom in the attic only has advantages. Caution, however! It is essential to pay attention to two essential points:
- Smart storage – especially for storing clothes;
- A comfortable and functional workspace.
In a teenager’s room with XXL dimensions, it is quite simple to organize the places in a rational way. Here, the under-slope space is used to accommodate storage modules. A half partition isolates the dressing room – which also accommodates a dressing table. It also houses a small office area.
When the dimensions of the room are smaller, the layout of the bedroom requires more thought. Ideally, the office corner should be installed in a bright location, for example near the window or the roof canopy. Of course, this does not dispense with providing additional lighting – traditional desk lamp, lamp to clip on the shelf or wall lamp! In addition to its well-located desk, we steal another idea from this bright teenager’s bedroom: overhead storage, accessible by a ladder, top for stuffing duvets and pillows.
Although the location of the office is important, its equipment is just as important. While there is a wide variety of smart attic storage, the simple and effective option is to exploit the wall surface with both panels and shelves. To give your teenager more room to store textbooks and supplies, it may be a good idea to opt for a very compact desk, combined with a storage module, possibly with wheels.
Does your teen tend to spend hours in their bedroom? If the bed, desk and storage are key points, don’t neglect comfort! An armchair for a reading corner, a place for his musical instrument or a corner dedicated to games: it is important to offer him a chill space! In this teenager’s bedroom under the roof, we combined a cozy armchair with a sofa bed. The room is thus transformed into a real living space during the day.
A teenager’s bedroom under the roof: smart ideas
When it comes to style, your teen may or may not have very strong ideas. In any case, you can offer him some ideas for furnishing his new bedroom and making it his own, without losing sight of the practical aspect!
Sub-slope and roof canopy do not always allow the adoption of a classic luminaire. To illuminate the room without a ceiling light or without a suspension, consider the light garland. In order to ensure fairly powerful lighting, opt for the guinguette garland.
The industrial bedroom is a classic that resists all trends. Top in a teenager’s room, it does however require a few precautions in the attic, where the light can quickly run out. Here, we have therefore given up on the traditional palette dominated by black and anthracite gray, in favor of more natural colors.
The Scandinavian teen bedroom is another timeless option. We gladly favor the combination of white and wood, especially in the attic, because it is peaceful and bright. It is all the smarter if your teenager tends to want to regularly revamp his room, since small decoration and textiles are enough to give him a whole new personality. The idea to steal in this studio-style bohemian teenager’s bedroom is the screen and shelf combination, which insulates the bed and offers additional storage space.
Rock atmosphere, factory spirit, Scandinavian inspiration or boho look: the bed in pallets adapts to many styles of decoration. And in addition to its look that is both casual and full of character, it has the advantage of being low. Suffice to say that it is perfect for furnishing a teenager’s bedroom under the roof!
The low bed is undoubtedly a very good choice for the teenager’s bedroom in the attic. And the good news is that there are models with storage: a must have in a small teenager’s room! The Scandinavian low bed with storage is a basic, but you can also find pretty models with an ethnic or industrial look.
In macramé for a romantic boho look or in canvas for a sporty style, in metal for an industrial design: the hanging chair is available in a wide choice of materials and designs. In a teenager’s room with a robust exposed frame, it is both a great decorative element and a very comfortable accessory for relaxing.
When the attic has a high ceiling, the mezzanine is a particularly smart option in a child’s bedroom under the roof. In a teenager’s room, you can adopt a variant to create two levels: the platform. This solution makes it possible to structure the space and visually enlarge it. It’s also a great way to lighten furniture. Here, the platform is equipped, for example, with storage and a retractable desk.
