A bedroom in the mezzanine

The classic choice is to arrange the bedroom in the mezzanine. This solution is smart in a studio or in a loft, because it allows you to enjoy an intimate and cozy space, out of sight.

Depending on the size of the mezzanine, you can consider creating a minimalist bedroom or one equipped with a dressing room or an office area. A spacious mezzanine can even house a master suite.

Most recent accommodations have a fairly large master bedroom, or even a suite, and one or two more modest bedrooms. The mezzanine is an excellent way to create a child’s room in a “suite” spirit that has nothing to envy to that of the parents.

It’s not always easy to have two children live together in the same room. But how do you offer space to everyone when you can’t push back the walls? By arranging a bedroom on the ground, and the other in the mezzanine, of course!

The mezzanine: a living space in its own right

Ideally, you need a ceiling height of at least 4 meters to create a mezzanine. This makes it possible to have a room with a ceiling height of 2 meters, which avoids having an unpleasant impression of being crushed. Under these conditions, you have a classic living space, which allows you to arrange almost any room.

If it is always possible to create an office area in the bedroom or in the living room, it is not necessarily the best way to work in peace. To set up a more professional office for teleworking, it is therefore smart to invest in the mezzanine. This makes it possible to have a space almost independent of the rest of the house.

Not only can you work there calmly during the day, but you can truly distinguish your workspace from your living space. The ideal is to be able to install the office facing an opening – either towards the ground floor or towards the outside. It is indeed more pleasant than working in front of a wall. It is also a question of taking particular care with the lighting, in order to be able to read and write comfortably.

Painting, sewing or scrapbooking… Some hobbies require specific equipment. It is not always easy to take it out and put it away on demand. The best thing is to have a workshop. And why not install it in the mezzanine? In the case of an attic space, consider the roof window, a layout that will allow you to take advantage of as much natural light as possible: a real plus for artistic activities such as sculpture or drawing.

Obviously, there are many decorative ideas for storing books. Reading addicts will have to favor a functional solution, allowing them to fit a large quantity of books. If it is common to arrange the library in the living room, the ideal remains to have a room entirely dedicated to reading. Setting up a library in the mezzanine not only allows you to store more books, it is also the assurance of having a calm and cocooning reading corner.

To create a 100% chill space, dare the new trend: the interior net. In this type of atypical mezzanine, we play, we read or we relax. The interior net brings a touch of fun and originality to the decor. But its real asset is its ability to let the light filter through. Here is a solution that allows you to enjoy a more pleasant ground floor.

What to do with a micro-mezzanine?

Technically, it is sometimes impossible to create a mezzanine spacious enough to fit out a room in its own right. Should we conclude that we must give up? Not so sure !

Practical elements

Elements such as the water heater can find their place in the cellar, in the garage, in the toilets or even in a cupboard… unless they are installed in the mezzanine. This is an opportunity to hide them behind a curtain or, on the contrary, to stage them.

Between mezzanine and platform, here is an ingenious way to pimp the children’s room by creating a reading corner or a space dedicated to games.

A Storage

When the ceiling height does not allow you to create a real living space, a mezzanine can be a rather smart storage space for storing bulky items such as pillows and duvets. It is therefore an idea that can be interesting, especially in a bedroom in the attic or in a small apartment.

Is it possible to arrange a water feature in a mezzanine?

As a general rule, we avoid installing the bathroom or kitchen in the mezzanine. Indeed, the mezzanine should not be confused with a space in the attic. The structure is generally lighter. However, water features involve fairly heavy equipment. It is also a question of having an arrival and an evacuation of water, and of benefiting from optimal ventilation. Kitchen and bathroom therefore remain on one level, possibly under the mezzanine.
