White interior of a small attic apartment

Long gone are the days when living in the attic of a metropolitan house was the prerogative of local creative bohemia. Artists and poets, musicians and writers worked in Parisian attics and attics. The home of these creative people served both as a workshop and as a room for hosting guests, clients, and fellow craftsmen. Times have changed, housing prices in megacities, and even more so the capitals of states, have risen incredibly. And at present, not every Frenchman or guest in the capital can afford the purchase of an attic in the center of Paris. But there are things that do not change - the romanticism of living under the skies of Paris, the opportunity from your window to admire the sights of the city, beautiful landscapes. The approach to organizing space in apartments furnished in former attics and attics has not changed either. Most often, they are studios where, with the help of an open plan, all the functional segments of the dwelling are placed in one spacious room. It is with the interior of such a studio apartment that we would like to acquaint you in this publication. Perhaps the snow-white design of Parisian apartments located under the roof of an apartment building will be an inspiration for those who have long wanted to convert an attic or increase living space by arranging an attic.

Attic rooms, as a rule, have a non-standard shape, are full of asymmetry and areas with a strong sloping ceilings. Niches, corners and other design features of the highest level of the house can be added to all this geometric wealth. How to maintain the originality of the interior, the feeling of spaciousness and place all the necessary functional areas in terms of ergonomics and practicality in this complex space? One of the options is to sheathe all the bumps and bevels, to get rid of the recesses and niches, having adjusted the shape of the room to standard parameters. But, obviously, with this approach, a significant area of the attic space will be lost. The second option for designing an apartment in the former attic is to use the originality of architecture and design features to create a unique and intricate interior. That is what the designers of the Paris apartments did.

The white color of the finish is perfect for decorating premises that are complex in terms of architecture. No other color can so imperceptibly mask inaccuracies and blemishes, erase the boundaries of structures and create a fresh and bright image of space. But the designers decided to go further in their desire to create a light and airy interior of the apartment - the use of total white color, glass surfaces and light impregnations of the natural palette became the basis of the aesthetics of the Parisian dwelling.

The interior of a Paris-attic apartment is inclined to minimalism, surrounded by modern methods of interior decoration of residential premises. Nothing more, but at the same time, all functional segments are practical and convenient. For example, the living area, which appears before us, as soon as we climb the stairs to the former attic, looks very modest.

A small seating area in the form of a wicker chair, a pair of low tables and an original floor lamp, and became the living room in the apartment under the roof of a Parisian house. The screen, decorated with embossed wall panels in snow-white color, is not without reason a kind of “backdrop” on this small stage - behind it is a completely different segment of the dwelling.

Zoning of space in a room with an open layout is very arbitrary. For example, the seating segment is indicated by its rather bright carpet, creating not so much the boundaries of the zone as visually pointing to the center of the composition.

Near the living area, near the attic there is a small office. In the place with the largest bevel of the ceiling, it was most logical to place a desk for working at a computer.

The light wood used to make the desktop is combined with the design of the window openings, and the snow-white plastic chair of the original design literally dissolves in the light image of the room.

Behind the screen we saw in the living room is the bathroom area and there is a double sink with a mirror and storage systems. Only the brilliance of stainless steel distinguishes this ensemble from the snow-white idyll of space.

There is also a white oval bath. Despite the strong sloping ceilings, a fairly modest amount of usable space, the room for water procedures is filled with freedom and spaciousness.

The bath is placed in such a way that even standing in it to its full height does not interfere with the owners of the apartment and their households, for example, a large sloping ceiling.

In a small corner of space, next to the bathroom, which, in fact, is also part of one large room, is a bedroom. Designers have not changed their concept and designed this area in the same snow-white colors. The textiles of the central piece of furniture and the original model of pendant lights became accent spots of the interior, creating the necessary contrast. A piece of natural warmth in this snow-white and fairly cool atmosphere was brought by furniture made of light wood.
