Most of us are used to the fact that the attic (or the attic, as it is called in some areas) is used as a room where old things or furniture are sent to gather dust for an indefinite period of time.
But if you approach the issue with the mind, then you can really use the space. Ideas from our material necessarily push for action.
1. Cozy living room
Small cozy living room.
Even a small attic is an ideal place to build a cozy living room. Bright furnishings, a large semicircular sofa, a TV, a stylish round table will help to create comfortable conditions for relaxation in this non-standard space.
2. bathroom
Luxurious bathroom.
If your house has a sewage system, then the attic space will be the best place to build a bathroom. Due to the small square and high floors in this room is always warmer than in other rooms, which means you will be comfortable taking a bath there even if the water temperature is low enough. Walls and floors are best tiled with ceramic tiles, the ceiling can be made of wood or plastic. In one of the walls place a large bath, in the corner of the toilet, if you have enough space you can hang the sink.
3. Library
Home library in the attic.
Sunny attic, in our opinion, is a great place to build a small home library. For arrangement of the cozy place for reading it will not be required big expenses. It is enough to build a large wooden rack, get a couple of chairs and all the cozy reading space is ready.
4. Billiard room
Own billiard room in the attic.
Of course, the billiard table and equipment costs a lot of money, but if you are ready to spend money on your hobby, then the attic is ideal for creating your own mini-club. On both sides of the table, put soft sofas. Also do not forget to take care of the lighting. Do not doubt your friends will appreciate your idea, and your billiard room will become your favorite meeting place.
Space for rest and entertainment.

You can connect the set-top box to the TV, then the attic will turn into a game room. Also, this place can be used for cozy gatherings in a narrow circle and family watching your favorite movies.
Note: non-residential attics of old rural houses served as a “warehouse” for storing feed, hay and straw. These rooms were open in the eaves, which ensured proper ventilation. The temperature in this room corresponded to the outside, but in winter the air layer between the lids and residential floors, as well as the straw that was stored in the attic, protected the house from the cold.
6. Workshop

If you like tinkering or often repair various things, turn the attic into a workshop. Some of the most simple tables, self-made storage systems, machines and tools will help create a comfortable working environment and unload the garage, which for many men is also a workshop.
7. Sports hall
