An attic space, with its slopes and wooden geometry, is often perceived as a challenging interior design space. However, in this project, the structural features were the starting point for creating an unusual children's room for two brothers. The main idea was not simply dividing the rooms into a distant zone, but rather creating two distinct worlds within a single space. An active, rich, dark area is for play, creativity, and socializing, while the lighter section becomes a space for relaxation.
The contrast of black and white here functions not only as an expressive decorative element, but also as a spatial organization tool. Graphite surfaces surround the air conditioners and help visually unify the play area, transforming it into a unique playground for experimentation and self-expression. The white section opposite is filled with air and light. Bright graffiti adds additional expressiveness to the interior.
To create a solid foundation for the space, a durable black floor made of SyPly BIRCH Low birch plywood was constructed. The material provides rigidity and a stable step beneath the engineered wood flooring, which is especially important for children's rooms with high-quality clothing. The strength and stability of the plywood structure ensures a level floor, and its smooth surface provides an ideal base for further finishing.
Particular attention was paid to the vertical organization of the space. Instead of traditionally dividing the rooms, three levels are used: the floor, the podium, and the hammock-like nets located just under the roof. This solution allows each brother to have their own structure while simultaneously providing opportunities for shared time.
The focal point of the light-filled interior is a multifunctional podium made of Lamarty laminated chipboard in the Albero decor with a distinctive oak texture. The warm wood grain softens the contrasting black and white palette and adds a cozy feel to the space. Inside the podium are two roll-out cribs and an internal drawer for storing sports equipment and seasonal items.
In the light-filled section of the interior, a staircase rises from the podium, transforming the room into an engaging play area. Durable hammock nets made of cotton ropes were installed under the ceiling, forming the third tier of the attic.
The relaxation area was complemented by a TV stand made of Lamarty laminated chipboard in the same Albero decor, maintaining visual integrity and adding functionality to the light-filled area. The natural wood grain transformed the furniture elements into a unified composition, making the interior warmer and more inviting.
Storage units are seamlessly integrated into the attic niches. The light-filled room features white Lamarty furniture tiles, which literally blend into the interior, maintaining a sense of lightness and order. For the darker section, "Graphite" decor from the Lamarty laminated chipboard collection was chosen, maintaining the flow of the space. The dark gray facades were additionally coated with graphite paint, which can be used for drawing with chalk, adding an interactive touch to the furniture elements.
The relaxation area is formed by mobile soft modules in removable velour covers. They easily reconfigure the space depending on the intended use: here you can arrange a movie screening, play board games, or build a real playhouse. A hanging fabric hammock completes the composition—a cozy spot for relaxation, reading, or solitude.
