Make so that the premises in the attic were comfortable, beautiful and functional is not too easy. An extraordinary geometry is that it delivers the most inconvenience. Therefore, the design of the attic floor has a special approach: it is also necessary to pick up the finishing materials, taking into account possible changes in size.
Finishing the ceiling
One of the most difficult issues is a flow finish in the attic. The ceiling in such premises is either inclined or broken. Both options are not too simple to finish. In principle, any material can be used to separate the ceilings in ordinary rooms, but the installation should take into account the possibility of displacement of the supporting structures. The beams are made of wood, and it varies in size when the temperature / humidity changes, so that the rigid fastening of frames or finishing materials threatens the occurrence of cracks.
You can even sew panels ... if you want
With beams or without
Before you begin the ceiling trim in the attic, decide whether you want the beams to be visible. The method of the binder depends on this: it will be necessary either to close the beams, or leave them in sight. The first option "takes" the height of the room, but with the insulation and sound insulation there is no problems - you can choose not paying attention to the thickness. In the second case, the height of the room will be larger, but you will have to look for materials with a minimum thickness - you want the beams to be visible ...
Some visible supporting structures consider a disadvantage that prevents the standard design. But it costs to make an emphasis on the "lack", as it turns into an interesting design solution. If we talk about stylistics, then the attic with beams looks much more interesting. The space between them can be sewed to the board, tighten with tension or close with suspended ceilings. With any type of finish, they are combined. It will only be necessary to choose a color solution that approaches the overall design of the attic floor or a particular room.
This method of ceiling finishes - with contrasting edging - suitable for spacious premises. In small he will eat volume
You can use stretch ceilings - if you want "neutral and standard" design
If the beams also highlight, they become the center of the composition
A little darker color allows you to highlight the beams not too "weighty" ceiling
In contrasting beams, the rest of the interior should be very calm
Bearing structures fit perfectly into modern styles, expand the possibilities of finishes, give individuality to the interior. They can be isolated by color or paint in the same tone. A visual perception will change, but in any case they look at very "trend". The only thing to avoid, it is lacquer beam covers - this method of finishing has lost the relevance. In any case, you should not use varieties that create a brilliant "lacquer" surface. Varnish if used, then on a water basis, matte or semi-mone, but not gloss.
Plasterboard on the ceiling in the attic floor
If you want to have standard design of the attic floor as close as possible to the modern "neutral" style, sew the ceiling on the attic can be plasterboard (GLC). In order to measure the sizes on the surface and at the joints of the sheets, cracks did not go, all guides are mounted on the suspension.
Guides are attached to the roofing system on the suspension
The second trick is not to leaving sheets into the wall, leaving compensation clearances. The junctions, as usual, are sampleing with a mesh ribbon, the ceiling is spun. In places of pricing, GLCs remain the gaps to close them, can be used polyurethane moldings or wooden plinths of a suitable form. They can be painted in the tone of the wall or ceiling. When fastening this finish, it is fixed only to the walls, but not to the ceiling. It is not evenly pressed to him. It is necessary that the clearance turned out to be closed, but without hard fastening. So, during seasonal moves of beams, the ceiling of plasterboard on the attic will not go cracks.

There is a very interesting option to use drywall at the scenery ceiling. They can only sew the gaps between the proteins, leaving the beams themselves. Due to the greater contrast between the smooth surface of the covered surface and the structural structure of the wood, such interiors are very bright and memorable.

With this method of finishing the attic ceiling, there are many joints between wood and plasterboard sheets. To close them all with moldings - too paint it turns out. It is reasonable to mix with a silicone sealant, which remains elastic after drying. Since the distance between the beams is not too large, the gap to compensate for changes in the size can be left small - it will easily be filled with sealant. That's just the paint it will be necessary to pick up this, which can and on silicone normally hold on, but this is not the problem.
You can break the wallpaper
By the way, the plasterboard ceiling in the attic can not only paint. You can also punish wallpaper, and so that the design is not too moving or overloaded, the walls are made smooth. There is also a second option - to use the same wallpaper on the ceiling and walls, but it may turn out the "casket", so that the first method is preferable.
Stretch ceiling
Film or fabric stretch ceilings can be used on attic without restrictions. They are not afraid of small deformations, so during the operation of the problems it is not foreseen. They can only occur at the installation stage. If you want to tighten the distance between the beams, you will need a large number of edge baguettes. But this is all, there are no other difficulties.
The beauty of this option is that you can get perfectly smooth ceilings without much trouble. Want gloss - Choose a film. We need matte ceilings - mount the fabric.

So looks close to
Behind the stretch ceiling, all the layers of insulation and the soundproofing of the attic, and there are a lot of them. For light films, you will only need to strip everything with a white material, otherwise "insides" can be shifted. "White Material" - anyone. Though fabric, even nonwoven material. It can be attached to the brackets directly to the beams and the crate.
If we talk about the design, then bulky multi-level structures will not go here, except for the whole attic of you without partitions and the height of the room in the area of three meters. The structure of the attic ceiling itself is broken. It is unlikely to complicate it with additional elements, except to make a box with backlit from the front side of the side.
Boards, Lining, Imitation of Bruus or Log
One of the most common ways to finish the ceiling in the attic - a lining with a clapboard, edged board, a timber imitation and a different handle. Against the background of beams, such registration is quite logical, the ceiling fit into most of the current ethnic styles: Provence, Scandinavian. It can be wonderful to beat in the style of Loft and Rustic. You can find options for modern interiors. For each of the styles, a special wood decoration is required:
- For the interiors in the style of Provence, boards or lining, like beams, paint with paints of gentle, pastel tones, with a matte or semimat surface. The hearing board can be wide or narrow - not so important.
Provence style bedroom well combined with painted board
- For the Scandinavian style, natural color of wood can be used (cautiously with yellow shades), but more characteristic or "aged" or the elevated boards. For such interiors in the attic beams can be made dark, the binder is very bright.
Not necessarily very dark ... maybe almost white
- For the loft, there is no rules in general - it all depends on the ideas and color. You can leave in "Natural" color, you can hardly darken or alter.
Loft - Very interesting style
- Rustic is a peculiar style in which some elements are deliberate and "untreated". If you fell beam curves, for this style it is a find. It will be necessary to highlight the texture of wood stronger. To do this, it can be "rocked" with a metal brush. Softy fibers will break out, solid will remain, the relief will be clearer. It is possible to facilitate the process by passing the surface by a soldering lamp. When heated, soft fibers burn, which will make the processing faster and easier, but when working with open fire and wooden structures, it is necessary to be very neat.
Rustic - rude style, but very artistic
There is another style that can be realized on the attic floor with the ceiling of the trimmed tree - Russian. But in this case, it will have to select a log imitation or timber to finish. Accordingly, you will need to select other components of the interior. Everything is easy. But we do not recommend covering wood with varnishes or other compositions with yellow shades. They are very quickly stuffing asking, although, at first, "warm" and create a sunny mood.
Exotic materials
Ceilings on the attic can be separated and unusual materials. It is important not to forget that the design can give shrinkage. Therefore, the finish should be elastic, or if it is tough, its installation should leave the ability to move slightly. This is what one can arrange the ceiling on the attic floor:
- Bamboo or bamboo wallpaper. An excellent choice, especially if the interior has the eastern orientation.
- Fabrics. Tighten the gaps between beams with dense tissues. And it is not necessary to be tapestries or their modern counterparts. Experiment - it may turn out interesting.
Fabrics create a special comfort
- Wall panels. Installation of bearing structures to make the type of carcass under the plasterboard, the seams can be wrapped with silicone and paint either into tone or contrasting color.
Perhaps there are other options, but they have not met yet.
Wall finish options
What is the interesting monsard walls? The fact that the wardrobe or large niche can be hidden behind the trim, which goes along the entire room. Often so come out of the position if the roof of the attic floor is double. Use space near the wall is problematic due to a small ceiling height. Going out of the position, the window put either a bed, or part of the part of the area of Fallest. And it would be unreasonable to lose considerable volume, so the sides of the mansard often arrange cabinets.
The walls of the attic floor can be separated by the same materials as in the usual rooms of the frame house. To begin with, fasten the trim from sheet materials (on the crate), then put sand. After you can even paint, even though apply decorative plaster, even glue the wallpaper. There are faster options: the lining of the MDF wall panels, wood, etc. The finishing material is attached directly to the crate, the finish finish is not required. Everything is good, but a small blood design will be changed to change - just remove and remake everything again. So if you like to redo the interior often, this is not your option.
In this design, the most interesting "false windows"
If the beams to paint in the same color, it turns out very harmonious
The feature of the design of the attic is that the ceiling can also be covered with wallpaper

With smooth walls, darkened beams look very interesting.
Additional beams emphasize geometry
If the ceiling is peeling or lining, the same material can be used on the walls, and you can combine with painted walls or with decorative plaster. But with the second combination it is necessary to be careful: not all combinations look equally well. For example, it is better not to experiment with Venetian - it's not friendly with a tree, she serves the perfectly smooth ceiling and no beams. Not the style.
But the wooden ceiling perfectly gets around with a brick, stone. This is a win-win combination. If there is no "natural" stone or brick, you can use decorative. It is many times easier than usual, easy to install, but looks no worse. There is another option: flexible stone. He resembles linoleum with something, but designed for walls. Mounted in general "once or two," looks quite believable.

Dark ceiling - risky
The more interesting is the combination of wood and stone / brick, so it is the fact that it is appropriate in the premises of any destination. Looks great in the corridor, bedroom. You can make the interior of the living room, that's just the style will be Loft or Scandinavian. But ideas in this area of the sea, and one is better than another. And they are all "unresolved."
Registration of windows on the attic floor
If the windows in the attic vertical, it can be arranged by any type of curtains of any type. If the windows are made in the roof plane, they can be closed by making special curtains. They are on top and bottom make the scenes in which the braid or gum is highlighted. They are curtains tied to retainers fixed on the sides of the window frame.
In the bedroom it is better to place the window with curtains
Need systems supporting curtains
Without additional fixation fabric saves
Curtains with slings on the attic
So the windows have a more or less familiar look, but even light fabrics are a little dispersed. So complete adjustment to the window plane will not work. If you want the curtains less than you shut up while closed, you can maintain their special rod. But it is not too convenient to open and close such curtains.
Another opportunity to place the downtown windows - rolled or Roman curtains and blinds are vertical or horizontal. In any case, you will have to use models with guides that will hold the fabric closer to the window, but such models are more expensive and more difficult in installation.
Rolled curtains - an excellent solution that is suitable for almost any interior
Close-open will not be too comfortable
Roman curtains - another decision
Operate vertical curtains easier
Curtains on frames - good solution
Still open and close will be very rare
Silent folds are strange
Blinds can be not only white
Guides hold fabric in one plane with a wall
If the windows are low, you can open / close
However, very often the windows that "look into the sky" are left at all without any curtains. There is no chance that someone will walk on the roof and looks into the window practically no. But, if you are uncomfortable, you can choose one of the proposed options.
