NT Features

Having an attic is a joy. Opening up possibilities for your attic, even if it is a bit tricky, is not impossible. So, get to work and explore decor ideas for attics. Regardless of its space or height limitations, decorating an open attic to a wonderful bedroom, a fantastic play area, a new and modern living room or even a kitchen is possible.

Natural light

One of the best features of attics is the abundance of natural light that you can utilise. White creates a greater feeling of expansiveness. If your attic is going to be the children’s play- room, injecting special colours will make it attractive. You can use very rusty colours to give it a worn out, old vintage looks even. A characterful wallpaper helps create the illusion of a vast shelving.

As a bedroom

For a good cosy feeling, use semi- translucent curtains. The walls, the flooring and the ceiling can be made up of wooden planks with a modestic feel in it. To bring out a lighter feel to this room, you can add a hammock, it makes the place not only for sleeping, but also for relaxing and enjoying the time.

Closet or a storage

Sometimes an attic space is just too small to make it a full living space. Convert your attic into a walk-in closet. You can store all your clothing there or just your seasonal stuff. The low ceilings and strange nooks are perfect for clothing racks and shoes. You can customise the space to fit whatever you need to store, from holiday decorations, seasonal clothing or sports equipment. Reading room or home theatre There is something so quaint about having your own personal attic library. Bookshelves can easily be installed to fit whatever layout or height your attic is. Toss in a couple comfy reading chairs and lights and you have a perfect reading room. The isolated space will be perfect for getting lost in your latest read. Install a TV up there and add in some comfy chairs or loveseats. If the ceiling is really low try using bean bag chairs instead. Now you will have your very own home theatre.

A place to hang out

Craft rooms can quickly become messy and unsightly. Making your attic your craft room is the perfect solution to that. Whatever your preferred craft is, your attic can likely fit it. Add shelves and storage to hold all the equipment. A table finishes off the look for a beautiful yet practical and easy craft room.

Who wouldn’t want a game room to play around in? The attic can be a family friendly game room. Depending on the size and height of your attic space you can fit a variety of types of games up there. Pool tables, darts, video games, pinball ma- chines and more.

A home office in the attic is a quiet and a secluded place enough to get work done. Most attic spac- es are large enough to fit a desk. You can add as much or as little as you want to your office space.
