I'm currently helping a Philadelphia client of mine furnish her attic bedroom, and it's turning into such a fun project. One of the wonderful things about living on the east coast is that we have these fabulous attic spaces! They feel like hidden retreats with little nooks and crannies, sloped ceilings, and exposed beams. And the views from the third floor are really fun (it feels like you're looking out of a tree house). Of course, they're ideal for children (what little one wouldn't LOVE hiding out up there?)... but, attic spaces can also make incredibly chic rooms too. My client will be using her space as a guest room (as well as a small workspace/retreat for her husband). We're looking at comfy wing chairs, and masculine desks, simple bedding, and lots of layers... I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result.
In the meantime, here are some of my favorite attic bedroom spaces for inspiration. So simple, yet so cozy. Your guests may never leave...
