Cabinets in the attic under the roof
With the revival of suburban construction in our country, there was such a new name as "attic". Previously, the room under the roof, where they stored any unnecessary trash, called the attic. Now having an attic is prestigious, and it looks like a real room, and with a touch of romance.
Everything would be fine, but a new problem appeared: the sizes of houses are different, the height of the ceilings too, and the roofs come with different slopes. Some furniture (beds, cabinets, dressers) can still be placed, but how to install a closet in the attic under the roof was a problem.
How to enter the cabinet?
The attic floor is a room of complex geometry, so installing the furniture here is not so easy. Cabinets for ordinary apartments in this case will not work.The best option to solve this problem is to install built-in cabinets in the gables.
Here you can install sections of different heights, while in the middle sections, which have a greater height, you can place clothes that are stored on hangers - for example, coats, dresses. Neighboring low side sections for clothes (120-130 cm long) with special hangers can be allocated for storage of jackets, shirts, trousers and jackets.
In the lower tier can be equipped with drawers for storing various small items. For shoes, the bottom shelves are about a meter wide. On the top shelves you can store bags and suitcases. If you wish to maximize the use of attic space, cabinets can be installed under the roof slopes.
If in the attic there are interior partitions, then in such a room you can place ordinary furniture purchased in a furniture store.
Open shelving can be used as an interior partition, intending to store books or collections.
It is not necessary to install too massive, bulky and dark furniture on the attic floor. This will further reduce the small space of the attic with a sloping roof.
When placing furniture in the attic room, try to leave the central part free, and place the cabinets in the niches.
