How to equip a nursery in the attic

The attic is a great place for arranging a children's room, especially when we can afford to allocate the entire floor area, without dividing it into separate rooms. This will allow you to visually divide the space into several zones without any problems: a bedroom, a study space, storage of things, and this is not just about clothes. But also about storage of toys and a zone for games. The larger the room, the more comfortable you can equip it. This will allow you to perfectly adapt the room to the needs of the child, regardless of his age.

Ideas for arranging a nursery in the attic

Safety first

When arranging a children's room, first of all, it is necessary to remember the safety of the child, including taking care of protecting the child from various injuries that he may receive during the games.

Important points that affect a child’s safety:

• Given that the attic is located on the top floor, special attention should be paid to the stairs, along which the baby will often have to climb and descend. It should be as safe and comfortable as possible. If the house is at the design stage, then you can make a staircase with the smallest angle possible. In addition, you need to take care of installing a safe balustrade and it will not be superfluous to lay an anti-slip rug that will protect the baby from falling.

• Often dormers are located at a fairly low height from the floor, which provides children with free access to them. Therefore, it is worth protecting the window so that the child could not open it.

Choosing furniture

The choice of furniture for the nursery in the attic is quite a challenge. Therefore, in this case, the best solution is furniture made to order taking into account the characteristics of the room (bevels, corners). Bevels should be equipped with shelving or you can put a chest of drawers or a small cabinet there. Near the window, it is advisable to put a desk.

More light

Proper lighting in the nursery is a key element. And best of all if it is natural light. For these purposes, you can install large windows in the attic. Well, and, of course, do not forget about an additional source of lighting.

Please note that some attics have high ceilings, then in this case it is recommended to install a chandelier low, as in this case it can provide good lighting of the room.

Also, when arranging lighting, it should be remembered that general lighting can not always illuminate those places where the slopes are in contact with the walls. Therefore, in such places it is recommended to separately install a sconce or a table lamp.

A separate issue of arranging an attic for a nursery is a problem with heating. It is important for all parents that the room is warm and comfortable enough. And if it’s cool in your attic, then you can fix this situation by installing a warm floor system.
