Cool Attic Bedrooms

room before

Attics present unique design challenges (i.e. notably slanted ceilings, ventilation obstructions, and awkward layouts), but with careful planning and thoughtful design choices, they offer living space you can claim without adding on. This attic remodel turns unused space into a hardworking retreat packed with storage.

Slanted Slumber

In the sleeping area of this attic-turned-master suite, a bed with a minimal headboard tucks under the eaves. Cabinets frame a large window and create ample room to stash bedding. A window seat piled with pillows is a comfortable perch; the seat lifts for extra storage.

Cohesive Elements

Built-ins form the backbone of this space. They substitute for freestanding furniture pieces and offer a cohesive design element. Glass-front cabinets show off books and colorful accessories and keep the shelves from becoming a dusty catchall. Extra bed linens and folded seasonal clothing hide behind the solid cabinet door.

Built-In Storage for Every Room

Closet Customization

A barn-style door hangs in front of the two-compartment closet and slides open as needed. The suite's large closet is divided into two zones. Half the closet accommodates hanging clothes while the other side caters to folded clothes with built-in drawers and display space for accessories on top.

Relaxing Aesthetic

A spa-like aesthetic conceals spots for all the necessities. A custom vanity has a mix of deep drawers for stowing bath products, while a soaking tub nestles under the eaves. The ledge around the tub holds bath salts, and a low stool keeps additional bath items within easy reach.

Unique Design

This relaxing suite maximizes every inch of usable space by balancing practical storage with thoughtful design. A walk-in shower hides behind the home's chimney. A linen closet is built to chest height to maximize space.

Spa-Like Sections

A section of the vanity top was set lower to avoid shortening the window. The dropped-down portion is ideal for touching up a pedicure. The shallow drawers above hold small toiletries, while the low drawer corrals spa-day supplies.
