Renovating the attic? An intervention that makes it possible to gain extra living space at home in many situations, for example when the family is growing.
If in the past an attic was a place associated with disorder, rich in memories but certainly not ideal from an aesthetic point of view, today the situation is very different: they are spaces dedicated to relaxation, where beauty must take center stage.
Trends speak clearly and highlight, not by chance, spaces dominated by natural light thanks to large windows and the choice, for floor coverings, of woods such as oak — a species known for its pleasantly warm grain, yet at the same time capable of bringing brightness into the room.
What truly makes the difference, of course, is the selection of carefully chosen furniture elements. Brands like Cassina, one of the main references when it comes to high-end design, offer several pieces in their collections that can only enhance a setting like an attic.
Those who decide, for instance, to create a dining area can opt for a new piece such as the TL59 Table, presented at the Salone del Mobile 2025 and characterized by a tempered glass top that reflects light and, thanks to its refined dark color, meets the needs of those seeking that iconic elegance that only made in Italy design can deliver.
Small spaces, striking personality
In an attic, spaces are not as generous as those on the floor below. No problem, because with the right advice it is still possible to give character to the different areas.
For those who intend to transform the attic into a space that can be comfortably enjoyed every day, focusing on the kitchen clearly plays a fundamental role.
One tip to make it truly special? Choosing a bold color such as bright green.
This shade pairs beautifully with natural oak tones and can also be considered for very small kitchens, including those fitted into a corner.
Another advantage of this color choice? The possibility of creating, together with white walls — an excellent option regardless of the shade, as it enhances natural light — an elegant contrast, perfect for those with a creative spirit who feel the need to express it through home furnishings.
Bathroom? En suite, of course
Transforming the attic into a second apartment is a life-changing idea when you have a large family and the desire to stay close to your loved ones.
Those who choose this option should know that the current trend strongly favors an approach inspired by quiet luxury.
This expression refers to the perfect balance between elegance and discretion. Beauty is present, but almost whispered, and comes to life through stylistic choices such as the already mentioned oak parquet or an en suite bathroom, for which the same flooring as the living area can be selected.
Style details in the bedroom
A space like the attic clearly does not benefit from generous square footage.
For this reason, when renovating it and understandably aiming to create an environment that is pleasant to live in every day, it is essential to focus very carefully on style details that may seem minor but are actually capable of making all the difference.
A useful suggestion in this regard is to echo, through the bed headboard, the bright green used in the kitchen.
It is a small detail, yet one that gives the whole space a sense of harmony which, especially in compact interiors, makes the atmosphere truly magical.
