Attics are extra spaces that should complement your living space and provide you with solutions to problems you may have in other areas of the home. Need a guest room for the holidays? Be sure you add space for a blow-up mattress, murphy bed, or other sleeping accommodations. Need a space to work away from the rest of the house? Good lighting, cool paint colors, and a usable workspace will be key. And most importantly, if your attic currently functions as storage space, don&#8217;t forget to add storage back into the design so you aren&#8217;t losing that functionality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith attics often being one-room layouts with multiple functions, you want to work from the inside out by considering how you plan to use it and who will use it most,\u201d comments <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kellee Kroll, owner of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/charmandgrithome.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charm &amp; Grit<\/span><\/a>,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a vintage furniture refinisher in the Midwest.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cFor example, a guestroom for grandparents might mean arranging furniture for a wide walking space, while a play area for littles requires decorating at both floor and eye level.

Whether this space will become your guest bedroom, home office, or artistic nook, the attic should reflect a cozy but not cramped vibe.

Maximize impact in a small space by choosing a free-flowing pattern to contrast the rigid lines and awkward angles.\u201d And to bring softness to the attic, Hill advises you can \u201cSoften the space further by choosing one or two colors out from the wallpaper design and adding soft furnishings such as fluffy blankets and plump cushions in these colors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Attic spaces can often be small or low-ceilinged, dark, and separated both physically and aesthetically from the rest of the house. But rather than seeing these characteristics as a minus, why not embrace them to create a special and unique space that doesn\u2019t necessarily need to match the rest of your house? One of the easiest ways to do this is through the use of patterned wallpaper, which can add more excitement and interest than a simple coat of paint. And there is a wallpaper out there for every possible taste: try an Art Deco-inspired geometric for an elegant glam look, something more retro for a mid-century vibe, a bright tropical to bring in some fun and warmth, a traditional floral for coziness, or a cute and colorful pattern that kids will love,\u201d says Jackie Tahara.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you\u2019re not sure how \u201call in\u201d you want to go with wallpaper, you could opt to paper just one \u201cfeature\u201d wall, leaving the other walls painted with a coordinating color,\u201d the artist behind <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unblinkstudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UnBlink Studio by Jackie Tahara<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> continues. \u201cOr you could choose a peel-and-stick or pre-pasted removable wallpaper that is designed to be temporary and removable (a good choice for renters). Go ahead, make your attic a unique space with wallpaper.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-78771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Emily2.jpg\" alt=\"attic design that is used as an office space\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Emily2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Emily2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Emily2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Emily2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Emily2-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Emily2-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Emily2-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The right furnishings complete any attic design<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like the rest of your home, your furniture choices can make or break a room.
