Attic Living…

They are often the most overlooked, groaned-about spaces in a home, but, when revamped properly, those attic spaces, complete with their slanted roofs and sometimes low ceilings, can, with a little imagination, become the most fabulous rooms in any home. Whether for a kids’ playroom, an extra guest bed, an office, or that much sought-after room of one’s own, these small spaces can pack a mean decorative punch. My own attic space (which came complete with green indoor-outdoor carpet!) started as a headache but quickly morphed into one of my favorite rooms in the house. Yours can too! We hope these images give you a little inspiration for your Monday!

I dream of having a room of my own at the top of the house with windows overlooking the yard. These images are indeed such inspiration!
I’ve always adored attics. I’ve yet to finish mine, but these images definitely have inspired me! Thank you for sharing them.

i BEYOND adore attic spaces – i think it’s my fave space actually!
Now your are making me want to finish my attic! What a fabulous post!
Yup, we all seem to have issues with our attic. It seems to be the last room of our house we take care of! Imagine having such a cosy nook like the one in the last pic! Thanks for this great selection!
i am going to finish my attic! i promise! wonderful post
so inspiring! we have an attic space with windows and I always thought it would be fun to add stairs and make something out of it.
I love each and every one of these!
Give me an attic over a basement ANY DAY!
I would not mind going into the attic one bit if the attic looked like any of these. Especially that 3rd photo. Just gorgeous!
I am all packed and ready to move into that first photo! Love it!! xo

I agree….they are such charming spaces! A gorgeous collection of images. Ax
Total attic crush! Love so many of these spaces. The slanted ceilings, the wooden floors, the exposed beams.. All of it is gorgeous and totally in line with what makes me tick.
Thanks for your comment today and for this lovely post.

Thanks for your visit to Hill Country House and your kind words about Homegrown Interiors.I love all of these images. I thought I could choose a favorite but you have shown us so many varied styles and they are all great!!
I agree! Wow, these are amazing spaces.
These are amazing! I love the sloping ceilings of attic spaces! XX!
there’s just something so sweet and romantic about these attic makeovers … like a little girl’s dream all grown up and beautiful
There is something so special about attic spaces. I’m not sure if it brings out the child in me or the old lady but they can feel quite magical. As if you are hiding from the world. I saw a t.v. show once about a family that build a replica of their mother’s house in the attic. You even entered through a front door with a porch. You have confirmed how much I’d love a fabulous attic space for myself. Thank you for commenting on my blog. I appreciate it and so happy to have discovered yours!
I love the first image and the plaryoom one from decorpad is fabulous!
Can’t tell you how much I love these. I grew up in a Cape so eaved rooms hold a special appeal for me. I remember seeing that first room at Kips Bay several years ago and just loved it!! Great post!
Wow! I never thougth attic spaces could look that good! I am absolutley in love with the third image down…it would be serene to have a space like that.

These are stunning! So quaint.
An attic like one of those mentioned in your fabulous post is a must in my “house in the city!” Thanks for stopping by and introducing me to your wonderful blog- so full of inspiration!
I adore attic spaces.
These are such beautiful pictures.
Have you seen our Master bedroom renovation?
Here’s the link in case you’re interested.
Our Master bedroom is in the attic and it was HIDEOUS when we moved in. I really love how it turned out. It’s lovely to go up there each night

What a dreamy looking attic!
i adore attics…have always wanted one that i could renovate myself. my favorite is the one with a painted floor from Lonny!
These spaces are amazing!
Attic living is so cozy. I also heard it is one of the best ways to add appeal to the resale of a home..and not break the bank.
Your blog is so beautiful and inspiring!
Have a wonderful day,
Yvonne
