When they choose to build a new home or adapt their current one, clients want to make it as unique as possible. The goal should be to make it reflect their own personality and suit their lifestyle. Attempting this on your own will be difficult. With an experienced team though, things become much easier. We are one of the best experts in residential architecture in London. As a result, you can ask us anything, including what to do with an attic bedroom.

Do you have a loft or are considering a conversion? With moving costs as high as they are, attic bedrooms have become a popular way to bring more space to family homes. A growing family or accommodating more children are usually the reasons individuals look for bedroom ideas for loft areas.

Transforming the space into a main bedroom and ensuite is a great way of capitalising on the room. To help you create your new space, we are going to discuss some potential ideas here.

Curtains

One thing you can try is framing a view with cleverly cut curtains. There is no reason to rule out curtain ideas if you possess a sloping or angled window in your attic bedroom. Having fabric correctly fitted and cut to size is possible. Not only this, but it makes for a fantastic feature. That is particularly true if you have a lovely view to frame.

Pick curtain fabrics with black-out lining. It will stop you from getting woken up early in summer. Also, go for curtain ties in the same or contrasting fabrics. Curtains at an angled window will match bright rooms the most as you can’t fully open them.

A cosy cabin feeling

Secondly, you can create a cosy cabin feeling with natural textures. Multiple studies have revealed that the fibres make people feel good. As a result, you can produce a comfortable vibe within your attic bedrooms with sufficient neutral tones and earthly textures.

The idea will work particularly well if you decide on highlighting the building with simple white walls and expose the timber rafters. Faux fur throws, chunky cushions, wool carpet underfoot, and a wooden bed will make a cocooning retreat you will want to stay in.

Creative storage

Something else you can try is lowering the ceiling to sneak in storage. Don’t have the ceiling following the eaves. Square off and use the room above for hidden spaces for storing different things. This can be a great solution for your attic bedroom, and an option for keeping your loft insulated and warm. Furthermore, it lets you be minimalist with furniture, for less of a cluttered look.
