Considering that attic spaces are usually not very large, you should think about a creative way of organizing your personal things. Save some space and use clever storage ideas (like this bunk beds).We also have two words for you: modular furniture. Don’t forget about the angled ceilings, they create a charming effect.

No upstairs neighbors.

You’ve never thought of it as an advantage? No neighbors above, no strange noises and no risk of being flooded. The only ones that could disturb you are birds.

Window reading nook.

Sloped walls are just perfect for a reading nook. Add some bookshelves, maybe some magazines, a comfortable seating and pillows. We advise you to create a reading corner somewhere near a natural light source (window or skylight). Now relax and enjoy a good book!

Sleep under the skylight.

Give your children the chance to sleep beneath the stars and we promise you that they will be grateful. A skylight above your bed will be a source for peace and inspiration and will definitely assure you a better sleep. Skylights also add a touch of romance, so it`s a great place to spend some beautiful moments with your partner.

Attic apartments are usually cheaper.

Don’t get too excited about this one, because it depends on the city and the area where the apartment is located. The price should also be related to the amount of space you want to live in.

So, what do you think? Would you enjoy living in an attic apartment?
