Play With Scale in a Reading Nook
Design illusions are your best friend when it comes to decorating a room with low ceilings. Opt for lower furniture and scaled artwork to create the visual effect of higher ceilings. If you want to make your attic space a quiet room to lounge in, bring in a settee, lounger, or upholstered bench, a small side table, and a reading light.

Make it a Guest Room
An extra bedroom will always come in handy, especially if you host visitors frequently. Two twin beds creates a nice symmetrical look, but if the room is long enough, try three. Lined up in a row, the repetition creates a unique aesthetic. The blue prints throughout this space add a dreamy feel, too.

Take Advantage of Every Nook and Cranny
Doesn't this look like the tree-house hideout you always dreamed of having as a kid? This built-in reading nook is the perfect place to curl up with a good book, and it hardly takes up any space at all. Style it with throw pillows, cushions, and a blanket to make it extra cozy.

Make it a Studio
If the attic in your home is big enough, transform it into a studio apartment complete with its own bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. This will make your guests feel independent and at home. Plus, you can turn a profit if you rent it out as an apartment or on Airbnb. Take style notes from designer Brian Patrick Flynn's tiny but bold kitchen in Iceland.

Create a Cocoon
There's a certain ethereal feel to attics because of the unique architectural lines. The way the light pours into this room is just divine—we'd never want to leave this little cocoon. If you decide to transform yours into a bedroom, embrace that vibe with loose linens and a netted pendant light.

Add an Extra Bathroom
When you have extra space you don't know what to do with, another bathroom is never a bad idea. Not only will an extra bathroom increase the value of your home, but you'll also have somewhere to send guests or family members who keep hogging the main bathroom in the house.
We love how this room has the tub inside of the shower space: space-saving and versatile.

Bring It Outside
If your attic space opens up onto a roof deck and space allows, why not install a jacuzzi? Then put a little hangout area off to the side for an outdoor space to stargaze from. No room for a jacuzzi? Try hanging a small hammock instead.

Get Cozy
This attic room looks like the ultimate napping destination. With layers of gray cushions and throws, the color story is both simple and soothing. Slide a slim side table into the corner for a little surface area to store things on.

Ditch the Bed Frame
Keep the mattress on the ground to make the ceilings feel a little less low. Swap a tall bedside table with a short and slim stool and simply lean your artwork against the wall from the floor.

Let It Speak for Itself
If your bedroom is lofted, with an attic-like feel, take notes from this room.
With everything customized to this space, it's bursting with personality—proof that a little bit will do the trick. For a similar aesthetic, stick to edgier materials, like concrete and wood. We think Marie Kondo would approve.

Make It a Game Room
If your attic is large enough and you have kids, turn it into a game room/hangout zone. The extra room in the attic is a perfect place for that, since it feels private from the rest of the house. That also means it doesn't matter if the decor clashes with the more grownup rooms throughout the home.

Use It as a Closet
We know we said that an attic could be used for so much more than just storage, but it's also not a bad idea to put your closet up there if you need extra space or privacy. With crisp white paint, a dresser, and a stool, it'll feel like a glamorous dressing room.

Incorporate Color and Plenty of Light
Layers and layers of purple really pop in this attic bedroom against the sharp black accents and crisp white paint.
Treat it as you would any other bedroom, just keep in mind that you may need to install more overhead lighting if there are only small skylight windows.

Set Up a Writer's Retreat
This is the writer's retreat of our dreams. An office in the attic will be the perfect hideout when you need to do some serious thinking. For a laid-back, calming environment, paint everything white and put your work station right by the window.

25 Best Attic Bedroom Ideas
Fagusurban
The attic has gotten a bad rap over the years. Although it's widely thought of as a dark, dusty space where scarcely used holiday decorations and castoff pieces of furniture are relegated to collect cobwebs, we'd argue that this oft-overlooked top-floor space — with its lofty vaulted ceilings, charming windows, and secluded location — actually makes for an ideal bedroom.
Need proof? Ahead, we've curated a collection of 25 charming attic bedrooms that definitively prove the top floor of your home doesn't have to be solely dedicated to storing Christmas ornaments and stashing away scratched wood furniture. Spanning sun-soaked, modern spaces to rustic, texture-rich retreats, these eye-catching attic bedrooms might just have you packing your bags and moving upstairs.
Scroll on for inspiration on transforming an oft-overlooked top floor into a bedroom, courtesy of Instagram and a few of our favorite designers.

Arbor & Co.
Boasting not one but two skylights, this sun-soaked attic bedroom is a bright and airy top-floor retreat. An all-white color palette takes advantage of the abundance of natural light, making the small space look and feel larger than it actually is. The warm wood floor and wicker baskets add warmth and texture to the otherwise neutral space.

Becca Interiors
Allow this bedroom to demonstrate precisely how to put vaulted attic ceilings to good use. A statement-making pendant light fixture accentuates the room's height by drawing the eye up. Notably, the fixture's wicker texture, coupled with wood panel walls and a neutral color scheme, also lends cozy vibes to this space.

This modern style space incorporates plenty of pattern and style that brings the room to life.
The diamond print wallpaper doesn't just cover the flat walls but the small slopes in the corner as well, creating a sense of unity throughout the room. The wicker headboard and full-length mirror add texture, and the small pops of color through the pillows and rug add the perfect amount of vibrancy to the mostly white space.

Erin Williamson Design
In this attic bedroom, textured details abound to create a cozy, inviting space. Note the rustic wood accent wall that doubles as a headboard, the exposed stone column near the window, and the bed that's outfitted with plenty of texture. A window free of curtains sheds light on the bucolic, texture-rich space—yet includes a room divider as decorative as it is functional.

Erin Williamson Design
Allow this serene, emerald attic bedroom to demonstrate the power of paint to completely transform a space. Here, a delightful splash of green paint adds a healthy dose of color, while the white ceiling makes the small attic space look and feel much larger than it actually is.

Yet another attic bedroom that cleverly embraces its unconventional architectural details, this space demonstrates how to turn inconvenient features into design assets. Here, the bunk beds are positioned between two immovable sloping walls—a unique bedding arrangement for a uniquely shaped space.

No well-appointed bedroom is complete without a little greenery, as exemplified by this whimsical, plant-filled space. In addition to a lush bedside garden and braided rope suspended swing, a collection of star-shaped light pendants draws the eye up toward the ceiling and gives the illusion of a bigger space.

1930's Semi Charmed Life
Nothing says rustic like exposed brick—especially when we are talking about an attic setting. This stunning room incorporates a brick accent wall juxtaposed with white sloping walls and ceiling.
The velvet ottoman at the end of the bed is undoubtedly a standout, while the rest of the accents throughout the room give off vintage vibes.

Becca Interiors
Although this attic bedroom is decorated in a neutral color palette, it's anything but boring. Featuring a shiplap ceiling, knit textiles, and natural fiber accents, it's a masterclass in layering textures. Also, note how the four-poster bed accentuates the high vaulted ceilings and breaks up the symmetrical design. Genius.

Britt Design Studio
Making the most out of a small space, this guest bedroom uses a red and green complementary color scheme on the walls and window treatment as a pop of color against white walls. The striped green headboards behind each twin bed essentially double as an accent wall of their own given the sloped ceiling and smaller space—but it works.

Britt Design Studio
A suspended pendant light cleverly makes the most of a small space with slanted ceilings in this attic bedroom.
The futuristic light stands out against the soft gray walls, drawing the eye up to the ceiling and visually making the most of the room's vertical space. The combination of different patterns keeps the area feeling energetic without feeling overwhelming.

Britt Design Studio
This elegantly styled space has us swooning. The pale blue walls blend seamlessly with the neutral color palette while also keeping the room from feeling washed out. The white trim, classic furniture accents and the headboard echoing the same shape as the walls create s sense of cohesion. However, the standout has to be the elaborate chandelier with wood paneling that emphasizes its grandeur.

This mint-green wainscotting as an accent wall gives a stunning transformation to this bedroom. The neutral colors used throughout the rest of the space allow the color to shine—patterns and accents are streamlined and straightforward.

Hannah Tyler Designs
Transforming an attic into a guest bedroom is a great way to work with unused space.
In this bright white, naturally lit room, not only is there room for a bed and an Eames lounge chair, but also plenty of Michigan-themed dećor. The result is a cozy space for visitors near and far.

Hannah Tyler Designs
Making use of sloped ceiling and small space, the architectural design of this attic bedroom is remarkable. The carved-out opening in the wall serves as the perfect location for a bed, creating a cozy concave to sleep in. The room is still large enough for a desk and computer setup, so the room can double as a workspace.

kambondos
Wood paneling is making a major comeback, and this wood-paneled attic bedroom makes a compelling case for installing the of-the-moment material to give a top-floor space instant cabin vibes. With understated bed linens and pared-back decor, this minimalist attic-turned bedroom is the ultimate rustic retreat.

Kate Marker Interiors
A uniquely shaped slope in this attic bedroom creates the perfect backdrop for a mini polka day accent wall.
That's not the only part of this room drawing our attention, though—the gold geometric statement lighting draws the eyes upwards, emphasizing the height of the room. Symmetrical dećor via the matching side tables and lamps establishes harmony and brings a sense of calm—perfect for winding down after a long day.

Rebecca Anchorban House
The architectural design of this attic bedroom is remarkable—we can't look away. The cutout against the wall adds a 3D effect, yet adding the magical forest wallpaper that sets the scene for a fairytale appearance? We wouldn't ever want to leave.

Vincent The House
Yet another attic bedroom that cleverly embraces its awkward architectural details, this space demonstrates how to turn inconvenient features into design assets. The bed is positioned perfectly to bask in the glow from the sunlight that pours through the window each day. Additionally, the Monstera plant is also nestled perfectly against the wall, receiving plenty of Sun to help it flourish.

M Starr Design
The simple, minimal aesthetic of this attic bedroom radiates a sense of calm. The bright white walls work as a perfect setting for any theme or dećor desire that may emerge. Currently, a simple floating shelf with framed art fills the wall space, while a midcentury-style side table with a rose gold Edison bulb lamp brings some serious modern vibes.

In this light-filled attic bedroom, vertically installed shiplap wall paneling visually stretches the room making the small space appear larger than life. Additionally, the shiplap's bright white, light-reflecting hue contrasted with the wood vaulted ceiling helps visually increase the space's square footage by giving the room a light and airy look.

Design: Marie Flanigan/Photographer: Julie Soefer
This bright white, artistically designed attic bedroom makes use of the home's architecture in a stunning way.
The wall-to-wall headboard also functions as side tables, and the bed is positioned directly underneath the angled concave—an apparent focal point of the room. The small gallery wall on the side proves there is always room for a little dose of dećor if you know how to arrange it.
23 of 25
Design: Marie Flanigan/Photographer: Julie Soefer
A mostly-white color scheme shines a spotlight on this attic bedroom's standout architectural features: its exposed wood beams and striking fireplace. Juxtaposed against alabaster-white bricks walls, both the ceiling and fireplace create a delightful contrast. The bed, with its white linens and vintage wood headboard, is incredibly charming.
24 of 25
Design: Marie Flanigan/Photographer: Julie Soefer
This attic gives off studio apartment vibes—and we love it. The shiplap sloped ceilings and textured curtains add a rustic touch. In addition to the bed, a glass dining table and a leather couch also make themselves known, which is ideal for extra seating.
25 of 25
Design: Griffith Blythe Interiors/Photographer: Stacy Goldberg
This vintage-inspired attic bedroom — complete with walls adorned in toile wallpaper — is the definition of quaint. The small stitch detailing on the comforter and pillows flanked by matching bedside tables and classic table lamps add to the traditional aesthetic. However, the unique doorway is anything but ordinary-setting this space apart from your standard attic bedroom.
27 Beautiful Gray and White Bedrooms That We're Obsessing Over
Attic bedroom design - 85 photos of interiors, ideas for renovation and decoration
Oh, those attics! How often, when building their own house, people make many plans regarding the arrangement of the under-roof area. As a result, most often, the attic turns into an ordinary dump for mountains of things that do not seem to be needed, but it is a pity to throw them away.
Whether it's a matter of equipping a full-fledged living room here, for example, a bedroom. How to do it? We will talk about this in today's article, and also look at many examples in the best photographs.
Attic bedroom features
Arranging a bedroom in the attic is one of the best options for the rational use of an empty attic. Its advantage lies in the fact that under the sloping vaults you can easily install a bed (and more than one), while more overall furniture simply does not fit here. In fact, an additional living space appears in the house, where you can not only organize a bedroom for family members, but also a guest room. If the area allows, several beds are installed here, the necessary storage systems and a dressing room are equipped. Since the bedroom is located on a territory remote from other rooms, here you can truly fully relax, retire and escape from everyday worries.
The attic can be turned into a full-fledged children's corner. Since the furniture for the child is small in size, it will successfully fit into a non-standard layout.
Children love everything unusual - secluded corners, attics, cozy rooms filled with their favorite toys. This is what the attic children's bedroom will look like, where the sloping ceiling will replace the vault of heaven.
Attic bedroom equipment has another additional bonus - the ability to implement a variety of unusual design solutions, using architectural features, natural materials of the ceiling, sloping window openings.
What to consider?
When allocating the attic space to the bedroom, you need to understand that now it is becoming a living space, therefore, it will require high-quality arrangement. In particular, this applies to the insulation of the room - the arrangement of additional thermal insulation of the walls, the installation of heating radiators. Often, during the construction of a house, the owners do not pay much attention to providing the attic with electricity - a maximum of one or two light bulbs are installed here, which will save if a warehouse of any unnecessary items is organized here or repairs are needed.
When arranging the bedroom, you will need to carry out high-quality electrical wiring, which will create good lighting.
Attic bedroom colors
Most often, the attic bedroom is dressed in a light palette that compensates for the lack of light. Against its background, dark-colored furniture and textiles will look beautiful, and bright colors of decor and accessories will help to revive the design. However, this is not the only solution - the owners may well decorate the room in any color at their discretion.
Since the geometry of the room itself is quite compressed, it is important not to overdo it with gloomy shades, which will further aggravate the situation. The bedroom in light gray, cream, blue tones will look original and cozy. The wall and ceiling area above the head of the bed are often decorated in accent bright colors, thereby emphasizing the territory of sleep.
The choice of color can be dictated by the style of decoration, for example, a Scandinavian bedroom will look great in a snow-white design, a room in a rustic style (Provence, country) cannot do without green, blue, pink natural colors, and in a classic version, they can be taken as a basis brown, beige, burgundy shades, giving the room a special sophistication.
To equip a child's bedroom in the attic, choose a palette that matches the age and gender of the child (pink, blue), or neutral tones, complementing them with bright decorative elements.
Finishes and materials
Today there is a huge choice of finishing materials. When choosing them for arranging a bedroom, you need to pay attention to such indicators as beauty, environmental friendliness and practicality - after all, any owner wants the renovation to please with its novelty for a long time.
Floor
To finish the surface of the bedroom floor, it is important that the material is warm, pleasant to the touch (often people move in this room without shoes), create additional noise insulation and, of course, harmonize with the surrounding design. There are many such materials. It can be soft, warm carpet. It has a variety of colors, which allows you to choose a canvas for any style direction. Modular carpet tiles, which have a stronger base, look especially beautiful.
Parquet board and laminate will greatly simplify the cleaning process, and the cork floor will last for decades, giving the room the warmth and comfort of natural material.
Walls
The choice of finishing materials for the walls is also quite extensive - they are painted, whitewashed, wallpapered, plastered. PVC panels are now widely used - they have many variations in execution, can be colored or imitate natural materials, are easy to install and last quite a long time. With their help, you can create absolutely any design - from a calm classic to a daring loft. Often, a significant role is given to drywall, with which you can correct the shortcomings of the walls and the layout as a whole. Finishing materials are often combined, choosing light and dark colors. Canvases with patterns, photo wallpapers, which give a special dynamics, look advantageous.
Ceiling
In the attic bedroom, the issue of ceiling decoration occupies a special place, which is explained by its non-standard, sloping surfaces, the presence of beamed ceilings and other nuances.
Often drywall panels come to the rescue, which help to align too pointed corners, hide protruding structures, electrical wiring, giving the room a more comfortable look. Finishing can be done using painting, stretch fabrics, lining, wallpaper. Depending on the style of the room, the beams can not be masked - after all, the more complex the interior, the more interesting it is.
Furniture and lighting
Since the bedroom does not need a lot of furniture, it is quite enough to place a bed, a couple of bedside tables, armchairs and a storage system. The bed is most often installed under the lowest bevel of the roof, near the window through which you can sometimes watch the starry sky in the evening. In order to optimally use the territory, built-in wardrobes of a non-standard shape are often made, which are successfully placed under inclined vaults. Also, the best storage systems can be drawers, bedside tables under the bed base.
Bright lighting in the bedroom is unacceptable, but it should be diffused enough to illuminate every necessary area.
Large chandeliers are not welcome here - it is better to replace them with compact lamps on the walls and bedside tables. You can arrange the wiring in such a way that the lamps turn on in groups, illuminating different zones.
Interior styles
Any room will look luxurious if decorated in a certain style. The attic bedroom is no exception! The style direction should be chosen in such a way that it matches the preferences of the owners and the overall design concept of the house.
Classic attic bedroom
For those who prefer respectable elegance to excessive pretentiousness and eccentricity, it is better to decorate the bedroom in a classic style. Here, the color scheme of noble shades, such as burgundy, cream, olive, sulfur, etc., is perfectly combined with impeccable details of palace luxury. The floor surface is decorated with expensive natural materials, the ceiling is a matte surface, and the furniture made of wood has rich decorations in the form of carvings and precious fittings.
An important role in the classic design is played by textiles - draped curtains, a canopy over the bed.
Attic bedroom in Provence style
The style of a provincial French village is best suited for decorating an attic bedroom, combining comfort and tranquility. There are no bright colors here - the design is based on pastel colors, combined with small floral prints, landscape compositions in wall decoration and textiles. Furniture made with the effect of artificial aging or using decoupage technique, which is adequately complemented by handmade accessories, gives a special atmosphere to the atmosphere.
Loft style loft bedroom
This style, also referred to as "attic", has every right to be implemented in the attic bedroom. There is practically no need to invent anything here: brick, concrete walls, open communications and ventilation pipes, rough beam ceilings, carelessly applied plaster - all this will make up the general picture of the direction.
Modernity will be given by such details as multifunctional furniture, appliances, high-quality lighting.
Attic bedroom in minimalist style
Minimalist design looks quite concise and restrained. In the interior, made in light colors, there are only the necessary furnishings. Finishing, as a rule, has a plain white, gray, beige color, which can be diluted with bright blotches in the form of paintings, posters, photo collages, contrasting elements of furniture or textiles that create an accent.
Chalet-style attic bedroom
This is a special style that allows you to create a spectacular design with a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. The ubiquitous presence of natural wood helps in this, which can be found in the decoration of walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, and even window frames are made of this material. Most often, the layout assumes access to a vast terrace located under a gracefully protruding roof vault. A warm fireplace made of stone, subdued soft light and a fur blanket on a spacious bed - what could be better for a good rest?

The attic (attic) is located directly between the ceiling of the upper floor and the sloping roof. It is also known for having a characteristic sloping ceiling shape. This is one of the reasons why most attics are used for storage purposes. But wouldn't it be appropriate to use all the available spaces in the house, wouldn't it? Some convert attics into an entertainment room, living room, bedroom, library, office, children's playroom, and so on.
Many people use the attic in different ways
Today's review is about how the attic can be transformed into a bedroom. I hope it inspires you to use your attic for more than just storage. In addition, you will get to know how designers use furniture to give it a feeling of comfort and coziness.
Designing a master bedroom in the attic will give you the privacy you need, great views, and will affect the price of your home if you want to put it up for sale.
Attic as a bedroom
Ready to turn your attic into a bedroom? Before you begin, answer yourself the basic questions that will help you start your attic renovation the right way.
Is an attic suitable for permanent living?
If the attic bedroom suits your lifestyle, then you can make this room a living room. A lived-in attic suitable for a full-fledged life looks amazing, although it is not so common and is not very in demand among people. Consider whether the upper floor is suitable for your purposes? Are you really ready to climb the stairs every time you need some personal items from the bedroom?
Before decorating, think about rational placement
Another thing that can limit this possibility is small children, whose rooms you need to be as close as possible. However, once the kids are older, you will have more options to create your own independent space and loft design ideas.
Has the premises been inspected by a professional?
You need to make sure that your attic is suitable for sleeping in.
Make sure you are on the safe side and hire a contractor to inspect the entire site and assess the possibility of repairing the attic. He will appreciate whether it is a good idea to place the master bedroom here, provide additional security recommendations to implement your ideas.
Your own independent space
Improving the attic in a wooden house
Before you start moving valuable furniture to the attic, consider whether there is a way to improve its structure and design. You may end up hiring professional help for this.
A good way to start renovating the attic of a wooden house is to check the floors. It's not just visual improvements, much more important will be to check the strength of the beams, to assess how much weight they can support. So far, they've only held boxes of clothes and old chairs, so you'll need to make sure they're strong enough to handle the bed and withstand any renovations you have in mind.
Checking the strength of the beams
Reinforcing the floor can add to the overall cost of renovating the attic, but it's a good idea, even if the floors seem to be perfectly strong.
If you are planning to include an attic bathroom, you will need the help of a plumber to change or install the pipes. Finally, you can do a detailed inspection yourself to leave suitable storage spaces. It will be interesting for you: OVERVIEW: Beautiful One Storey House with Attic (100+ Photo Projects). Why is it Stylish and Inexpensive at the same time?
Calculating the stairs
The best way to provide access to the attic bedroom is to make a permanent staircase. Spiral stairs are best for this purpose because they do not take up too much space (approximately 1.5 meters on the floor), unlike straight stairs, which take up 3-4.5 meters, or double landing stairs, which take up double area. Depending on the amount of available space, you may consider creating an attic bedroom with sloping walls.
Stationary staircase to the attic

Will it be warm or cool?
Before planning an attic bedroom, keep in mind that the attic is the part of your home most exposed to the weather, meaning it loses heat/cool air much faster than other rooms.
In a finished attic space, you will need properly installed heating/air conditioning systems, ventilation ducts and strong insulation. Attic renovation cost
You need to carefully plan your finances before you start remodeling a room, and calculate each repair that may occur.
Carefully planned down to the last detail
For example, older lofts will require more work for the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system, which means a lot of installation work to be done. In addition, the costs will be significantly higher if you need to convert the attic into a living space from scratch or build a staircase to the attic.
In this case, it is up to you to decide whether it is worth investing in the implementation of your ideas in the attic. This can be done not only for the sake of the comfort that you are going to achieve, but also for the sake of the fact that the attic will increase the price of the house when selling.
The best way in any case is to hire professionals who will help you adequately estimate all the costs of the work. Let Your Dreams Come True
Evacuation Plan
It's good to know your local loft design code, which will probably inspire you to follow a standard escape route. We hope that you will never be in a dangerous situation, but it is better to play it safe. In addition, the emergency exit has a great advantage: it increases the natural light inside the bedroom!
Access to natural light
Since attics are often enclosed under the roof of a home, the lack of natural light inside can be a significant problem for many grand transformation plans. Only a few lucky ones have the benefit of a roof window, but others should definitely make one themselves.
Making it Provence
You could even install a window on the sloping side of the ceiling to bring sunlight into the room. This decision will make you feel more positive and relaxed.
Choosing a color
The main thing to remember when transforming an attic space into a wonderful bedroom or even an attic office is to choose a natural palette.
It is better to choose a natural palette
Deciding on the ceiling
Avoiding dark ceilings in the bedroom is an established design rule that keeps the room fresh and the mood positive.
Dark overhead surfaces look oppressive and make the space feel smaller than it really is.
So, even if the walls are painted in a medium tone or a little darker, or you need a special project for low ceilings, a pure white ceiling is the best solution - it will make the room light and airy.

Attic bed
Choose a place for the bed in this room, preferably closer to the wall and away from the stairs. Make sure the ceiling above it isn't too low so you don't bump into it every time you get out of bed.
Place the bed against a wall
Tip
As usual, complete it with a bedside table (or two) and a small table/floor lamp to give the attic a special touch.
Use of panels
Vertical cladding can be a good solution for low and tight spaces, especially in the case of a small attic bedroom. Panels enlarge the room and make it look much taller than it really is. On the other hand, horizontal attic cladding expands the space and fits into narrow rooms.
Choosing decorations
If you're wondering how to decorate your attic, experiment with all kinds of fluffy pillows, soft carpets, scented candles and spectacular three-way mirrors. The bedroom is a completely private area in the house, so use any item that relaxes you and looks creative.

Turning the attic into a bedroom is a great idea, especially for smaller homes. There is usually enough space. In addition, an attic bedroom will be a particularly useful addition for growing families. Although the design of such a room will be a challenge.
Making your bedroom comfortable
Here's what to consider when creating your dream bedroom:
- whitewash the ceiling;
- consider lighting. There is usually little sunlight in attic bedrooms, so consider using lighter colors. In addition, the use of fixtures is also very important;
- use attic walls that are at an angle. These low walls are suitable for placing storage furniture there;
- make skylights. Position the bed so that it faces the window;
- use available textures. If there is a brick wall, do not hide it. It can be a great decoration element, like many other things in the attic bedroom.
Add some accessories
A common practice in bed placement is to face the window . You can also place the bed in the center of the room to reduce the chance of feeling cramped on both sides.

Consider using the attic as a nursery. This room, due to its placement, will help to keep peace for all family members, absorbing excess noise.
Nursery is a good idea
Before the little one arrives, ask the professionals for advice on how to make your attic space cozy and safe for your child:
- Paint can be a lifesaver in small spaces . You can make your attic look even taller by painting the walls and sloping part of the ceiling the same color. This visual trick allows the two components to look like one tall wall.
- Use color with pleasure .
Baby ones don't always have to be pink or blue. Use berry shades, sea foam, lemongrass or apricot, or try an accent interactive wall for baby development. - Use sloping storage space . Identify areas in your room where the ceiling is low enough to create dead space. Organize them by adding a freestanding chest of drawers or built-in shelves in these spaces. You can make them yourself using MDF shelves. Make them fun, with unusual shapes, paint them in dynamic colors. Line the interior with whimsical wallpaper to give the room a special charm.
- Avoid monotony and dull looks with the right lighting . It's amazing how easy it is to make a space bright, fun and functional with appropriate and sufficient lighting. It can be pendant lighting in seating areas or in corners, or a bed with built-in lighting. Place table lamps on a chest of drawers, bookcases, or bedside table.
Customize the night light with dimmer switches or creative lighting on the ceiling to create a firefly or constellation effect.
An interesting way to design a nursery
- Refuse light by adding mirrors in unexpected places . If you're lucky enough to have a window in your attic, do your best by placing a mirror across from it to reflect light throughout the space. Hang mirrors in fun shapes and sizes.
- If you don't have windows, there is also a creative solution for this case . Properly mount a large mirror or series of mirrors on the wall and drape them like you would a window. Hang a drapery from the ceiling to visually increase the height of the room.
- Visually increase footage with vertical space . Create a visual line from floor to ceiling by adding vertical stop elements. Hang drapery up to the ceiling, use tall bookcases, hang a mobile, or create eye-catching vertical stripes with stripes of graphic wallpaper on the walls. All of these things will allow your eye to travel from floor to ceiling, increasing the visual height of the space.
Use tall bookcases
Tip
Make wall decor in the form of frescoes. From the trees to the night sky, the wall painting effect will push the walls away, making the room feel spacious. Use furniture in the same style as the frescoes. Hang wooden bed boards from ropes attached to the ceiling. Apply this trick to nightstands, shelves, or fun seating as well.

In fact, keeping the walls white or gray and adding little bits of color gives you even more options to make the kids' room creative and playful. In addition, such a room will be much easier to repaint when the children outgrow the lime green or Barbie pink walls in three years.
Girl's bedroom in pink
When it comes to finding colorful accents, first think about what your child already has. Children's books and stuffed animals often come in fun colors, so place them in places that highlight the décor. Wall decals, bedding and rugs can add color and pattern to a children's room, but can easily be changed with age.
Any attic space that is large enough for a room can be decorated as a wonderful children's bedroom in any theme and style. Don't think that the attic space is dark and boring, you can easily turn it into a charming room.

White Dominant Comfort
They offer much more than the comfort and privacy that teenage girls value so much:
- Baby pink with deep green . One way to know that you are already a teenage girl and not a toddler? Your pinks become softer and lighter, and less bright pink. You prefer a stylish and elegant shade of pink.
- Pink and black with dressing table and wardrobe . Teenage girls love to dress up. And with that said, they need a place where they can do it.
Intense pink cheer up
- Vintage Boho Bedroom . At the beginning, I said that not all teenage girls are the same.
And in that vein, not all of them want makeup, girly things, and pink rooms. - Violet and pink bedroom . One of the best color combinations for teenage girls is a purple shade of pink. It provides an elegant touch in a girl's room. The topic of heart affairs is more popular than ever. Do you know a teenage girl who is not in love? If this is not the chosen one at school, then definitely some kind of actor or singer.
