5 tips to furnish an attic with custom-made furniture

Furnishing an attic is a hard task, but if you do it the right way, it enriches the house with a cozy and intimate space, full of warmth and atmosphere.

Whether you want to make a study, a relaxation area or a bedroom out of your loft, the solution to be adopted are the custom furniture of high quality, designed and studied in detail, that optimize the spaces and use different heights of the attic.
Here are five tips that focus on the creation of handmade custom cabinets and beautiful wood paneling with high quality materials.

1. Paneling: modernity and tradition

“Boiserie” is the term used for tailor made paneling. It can be used as a shield to those parts of the attic too low to be exploited, but at the same time as a useful storage compartment. The paneling is also used as a coating for ceilings and walls because it ensures excellent thermal insulation. Even the cabinet doors can be enriched by this type of paneling, turning a simple container of clothes into a work of high quality craftsmanship.

2. The furniture arrangement

Comfort and maximum use of the available space is the common thread in the choice of how and where to place the furniture. If you want to build a bedroom, the room can be designed with a low basic bed, leaning against the sloping part of the room and cabinets designed to allow easy opening of the doors and drawers. The craftsmen who make containers to perfection, are able to recommend the most suitable type of door, taking into account that you can choose from different types such as hinged door, sliding and folding.

If the attic will serve as a living room, you can opt for sofas, armchairs and low tables while tv / stereo may be installed on the wall in a structure made to measure that will exploit vertical space.

3. Colors

Attic rooms are often poor in light. Light colors can help to visually enlarge the space and to give a sense of light and space. White is the main color, the one with the highest reflectivity, matchable with furniture of warm natural colors, making the environment very chic and great-looking.

4. Lighting

In the case of new construction it is good to establish a balanced distribution of light points, so as not to create shadows that then should be lit artificially. An innovative solution is solar tubes, able to convey the light in tubes made of heat-reflecting material that recreates if necessary natural light.

5. Open space

The alternative to partition walls that can give a feeling of closure, you can choose the solution of a single room divided by walls equipped to measure, which allow the passage of light and at the same time are useful as containers and support planes. An open space can be organized with a sofa bed that can be used as an alternative to the classic guest room. On the walls you can create custom cabinets, drawers and shoe racks.
