How to Use a Corner Attic Spacewith very low ceilings and sloping walls? It is difficult to place standard furniture in such an apartment, and the feeling of tightness does not give rest. But these problems are solvable. Let's look at an example from Sweden Designers made an attic apartment in an old house cozy, beautiful and spacious. This apartment is located in Sweden, in Gothenburg. Its area is 87 square meters. The layout is with a corner arrangement. The apartment has two small separate bedrooms, a spacious living room, which is combined with a dining room and a kitchen. Here, disadvantages turned into advantages. For example, protruding wooden beams, which emphasize all the "charms" of a room of this configuration, perform different functions.
An abundance of light will relieve the feeling of cramped space
Due to the fact that the apartment has a cornerlayout, it is filled with an abundant flow of daylight from several sides. Due to the fact that the windows are built not only into the walls, but also into the ceiling, the apartment receives an additional source of light, which visually makes the room more spacious. Thus, the feeling of tightness disappears. On the contrary, the architectural characteristics of the apartment are emphasized. Our opinion: - A big advantage of the apartment is the absence of partitions and the presence of spotlights, wall sconces, chandeliers and table lamps.
Clever zoning and appropriate style
From the threshold it is immediately obvious where the hallway is,living room, dining room and kitchen. The floor in the hallway is highlighted with a different color and material than in the rest of the apartment. There is also a beautiful chandelier and mirror, which “echo” each other in gold. An unusual brickwork painted white acts as a small partition between the living room and the hallway. Furniture, carpets, and lighting fixtures are arranged in such a way as to leave free space for movement. In our opinion, the Scandinavian style is ideal for such an apartment. The abundance of light colors is just right here. Wooden beams are present everywhere, so they decided to find a worthy functional use for them. They look contrasting in the interior and highlight each area of the apartment.
The wooden one looks very interestinga shelf placed between two beams in the living room area. Kitchen cabinets that stand between the beams look no less original. The vertical position of the beams makes the space higher.
The dining area feels special, warm andcozy. It became the dividing center between the kitchen and the living room, as well as the main decoration of the apartment. The beams on the ceiling stand out and emphasize the architecture of the building. In the kitchen, part of the wall "echoes" the beams in color. So the space looks complete.
An original storage solution
Since the ceilings here are very low, in one of theIn the bedrooms, instead of a wardrobe, they also adapted wooden beams, and between them they simply installed a crossbar on which they placed clothes on hangers. They also added a small shelf with partitions. This successfully solved the problem with furniture and placing clothes.
In another bedroom, niches were made instead of a wardrobe. They are covered with mirror partitions. This made the room visually more spacious and also solved the problem of storing things.
Despite the sloping walls and low ceilings,The apartment looks spacious and bright. The overall impression is simple, cozy and comfortable. Flowers, photographs and other small decorative elements add homely warmth.
