Ideas to make the most of an attic space

How to furnish an attic and optimise every nook and cranny

Let's face it: if you have an attic, you probably only use it to store boxes, old suitcases, and out-of-season Christmas decorations. Maybe you've always thought of doing something useful with it, but then the low ceiling, exposed beams, and awkward angles made you give up. Yet, did you know you have all the tools to transform this space into something truly special? Here are 3 ideas to make the most of an attic space!

Attic bathroom

If there are two or more of you in the house, having a second bathroom in the attic could solve quite a few family dramas. The first step is to figure out where to place it, taking advantage of the highest areas for the shower and washbasin, while using the lower parts for the WC, bathroom cabinets, and other bathroom accessories. If you think that plumbing is an insurmountable problem, know that there are solutions to connect them without too much invasive work. And let's face it, a bathroom under the roof has a charm all of its own: wouldn't you love to soak in the tub while watching the stars through the skylight?

Attic gym

How many times have you said 'I'm going to join a gym' and then found a thousand excuses not to go? Well, the solution is to create it directly at home. In this context, the attic is perfect for furnishing a small fitness corner, using the Gym Space solutions by Scavolini, which generally include a functional setup with wall bars, equipped with workout equipment and containers for storing your toiletries.

Is there at least one window in the attic? Remember to air the floor after each workout.

A mini apartment with BoxLife

If your attic is spacious enough, why not create a mini apartment? Perfect for visiting guests, children wanting their own space, or just getting away from it all. Thanks to the BoxLife modular system, you can have a kitchen, bed, cabinets, and even a laundry area in a single room: the trick is to conceal to control clutter, using panelling that only reveals the furniture behind it when needed. So, you have an elegant open space during the day and a super comfortable bedroom at night.
