Attics are often used for storage or remain empty but, the more you think about it the more you realize it’s a huge waste of space to do that. If you clean it up a little you can turn it into an extra room, perhaps a bedroom for the kids or for guests.
There may not be as much natural light in there because of the small windows and the walls may be difficult to work with because of the angle but these are not necessarily inconveniences.
Use white on the walls to make the space feel larger and brighter
Attics can be very cozy and even though they are sometimes perceived as creepy and cold, they would make a great bedroom. Here are some ideas of how you can transform an attic into a cozy and inviting extra bedroom.
If the attic is small, a simple color palette including white would suit it well An attic bedroom gives you the opportunity to build skylights
Turn the attic into a princess’ bedroom with a canopy bed and elegant details It would be a huge waste of space not to turn the attic into an extra room
White attic bedroom with green and blue accents Bright colors and pastel shades are especially great for attic bedrooms
Play with contrasting colors to crate focal points in the room The wooden ceiling and floor make the room feel extra cozy
A fluffy rug would make the room feel incredibly cozy
An unusually large window for an attic, beautifully framed by curtains
Since there are exposed beams on the ceiling you can use them to create a romantic project that you would be able to see every night before you go to bed.
