The attic, rarely considered suitable for use, has unlimited storage space potential. A great option is to use space for the wardrobe, adding square meters not on the residential part of the house, but on the roof. Another advantage of the wardrobe will be getting rid of a large amount of furniture - cabinets and wardrobe, bulky attributes of the past.
Attic - use cases
Many use the attic as a bedroom, library or children's room. From it you can make a good gym, but the attic can be used as a dressing room. To understand how good this idea is, you need to look at the photo of the dressing room in the attic below in the article. There are enough places for shoes and hangers for all types of clothes for a large family.
Wardrobe Features
The purpose of the wardrobe room is to neatly store things and household items in a designated place, which allows you not to waste time searching for necessary things. A spacious wardrobe over time ceases to accommodate new things, and instead of ordering a new one, it is better to equip a wardrobe.
A modern dressing room in the attic with a sloping ceiling, as, for example, in the photo above, demonstrates the practical use of space - look only at the stepped shoe racks that go under the sloping ceiling. The built-in system of shelves for clothes and accessories faces the white island cabinet with a bench. The sloping wall is decorated with original black and white wallpaper. The ceiling lighting is equipped with adjustable track lights. The attic is equipped with an air conditioning system using an air conditioner.
Storage systems
Wardrobe systems are designed to create convenience and save space in the house. You can choose various options for the interior, taking into account the features of the room. There are three main options for decorating a dressing room:
- metal frame
- modular,
- reticulate.
Modern design solutions offer the use of many drawers, open shelves and additional compartments. This storage option is modular. The basis of its functionality is its versatility. The benefits of a modular storage system include:
- creating your own dressing room design from modules,
- addition of new modules and rearrangement of existing ones,
- do-it-yourself wardrobe assembly in the attic
Mesh wardrobe option
The mesh storage scheme is very convenient. The main advantage of this option is the compactness of the sections, which are independent of each other. Elements of the mesh system are attached to the wall using guides and brackets. The horizontal rail is located vertically on the wall to which the rails are mounted. Along the entire length of the guide holes, fasteners for shelves and nets are provided. Due to the perforation, it is possible to reposition the elements.
The mesh system is spacious, lightweight, does not interfere with easy access. Such a wardrobe will always be like a designer, easy to use and having a lot of combinations.
The shelving on the walls is fixed using guides and brackets. The benefits of mesh systems include:
- Lightweight, airy design
- mobility that allows you to change, move or remove sections,
- sections and shelves do not take up much space,
- well-viewed space allows you to see what is on the shelf,
- good air circulation.
Wardrobe recommendations
In order to competently approach the issue of creating a wardrobe in the attic, you need to start with a drawing, which will indicate the size, presence of doors, windows, ledges. The drawing should draw areas of household items and clothing. Careful design will effectively use the entire space of the attic. An important role is played by the height of the walls.
If the walls around the perimeter of the attic are low, prefer inclined ceiling cabinets. The storage will be allocated all the space between the attic walls. The dressing room will look like a full-fledged room with cabinets or racks located under the roof slopes. If the walls have different heights, it is better to place racks with hangers for outerwear and dresses near a high wall. A convenient solution for storing things is the main task of open cabinets. All structural elements should be well planned, and the goal of each department should be taken into account.
When designing, you need to solve the problem not only about how to make a dressing room in the attic, but also how to organize a ventilation and lighting system. Next, you need to draw where things will be located. Based on this, choose the option of arranging the wardrobe room: metal frame, modular or mesh.
Inclined Ceiling Cabinets
If the design of the dressing room is carefully thought out, you can begin the redevelopment. Any ceiling can be combined with a cabinet. The photo located below in the article clearly shows that a cabinet with a sloping ceiling requires a larger footage on the floor, that is, it is necessary to expand to get a height.
Due to the width of the cabinet, it is possible to install lockable drawers at the bottom so that there is no empty space. Their depth will be pretty good. In the attic cloakroom with a sloping ceiling, shelves can be partially abandoned by installing shelves or drawers. If the dressing room occupies the entire length of the attic, install sliding doors along the sloping ceiling, creating separate spaces in the makeshift cabinet.
If one of the walls of the attic is of considerable height, experts recommend wardrobe modules with outerwear and dresses to be placed right next to it.
Storage Recommendations
Things in the dressing rooms are stored on shelves, but preference is still given to convenient drawers and oversized bags, where things are stored for non-seasonal storage. Clothing is hung on hangers or sealed in vacuum. It is so good to store voluminous blankets, rugs, winter down jackets. In a vacuum package, the item occupies the minimum volume on the shelf.
The wardrobe in the attic is assembled according to an individual design, but experts in this area advise arranging shelves, drawers and hangers in such a way as to observe the rules for storing things:
- the upper floors of the shelves are reserved for boxes and oversized bags with non-seasonal items;
- shelves and hangers located at eye level are designed for seasonal clothing and accessories. Little things can be folded into wicker baskets and storage boxes;
- the bottom of the sections is for shoes.
An important detail is the creation of zones in the attic in the attic according to their accessories: male, female, children's. This is a convenient approach to organizing storage of things. Each family member knows in which zone, on what racks and hangers his belongings are.
Conclusion
Storage systems for clothes, shoes and accessories are diverse in organization and design. This allows you to choose the option that suits your dressing room.
By choosing a storage system, you achieve goals such as the efficient distribution of functional areas and the creation of comfort in the attic closet. This room outside the living room will save living rooms from massive closets and will allow you to collect all things in one place.
