Attic decor: inspiration and tips
Open up possibilities for your attic, even if it's a bit tricky. Nothing is impossible! Low or sloping ceilings may make attic decor a true challenge.
But you must admit, having an attic is a joy. They're rooms with plenty of charm. And surely it's everyone's favourite room, whether they're old or young. So let's get to work and explore decor ideas for attics. Ready?
Attic decor ideas
First of all, be aware that your attic has certain limitations. They're not all the same, nor do they offer the same space options. Decorating small attics isn't the same as decorating one with a low ceiling. Each one is different and unique, that's why we love them.
Regardless of its space or height limitations, if you know how to decorate an open attic, it can become a wonderful bedroom, a fantastic play area or a new and modern living room, with Wi-Fi speakers and the rest. It can even turn into an attic with a kitchen or bathroom. Everything is possible!
Look for furniture that helps you to win back centimetres with sloping ceilings. You can achieve this with ALGOT storage system, which can be customised to fit your space.
It's a matter of measuring the space and playing with the different heights of the furniture.
Choose a natural style for your attic
If you like a natural, rustic and wooden style and decor, you're all set for your attic. You can cover the ceiling with wood or leave the beams exposed.
If you're decorating an attic with low ceilings, note that the lighter the wood, the more expansive it will feel.
Though you may not be lucky enough to have beams, playing with natural materials in your rugs or furniture will help you give your attic decor that special touch.
You could also add some plants for those green notes that you like so much and to decorate the space.
White creates a greater feeling of expansiveness
When decorating small attics, consider choosing white as the predominant colour.
White optimises each ray of natural light entering your attic. So it will seem more luminous and open. If you want, also add a little colour with textiles or wooden desktops. The result will be incredible.
Colourful!
Though white provides light, if you like to provide colour to your rooms, the attic is also the perfect place for it. Especially if your attic is going to be the children's play room.
The colour and possibilities of a sloping attic ceiling are perfect for the TROFAST toy storage combination, for example.
Whatever the set-up, your attic could become the best storage space using furniture that takes advantage of a sloping ceiling.
