28. Bring out the best in the classic decor.

You can’t go wrong with the classics, as this beautiful design definitively approves. If your attic allows the extra space, you can make it more functional by borrowing some minimalist inspiration and everything you need and more. A dominant color theme makes it seem like everything just goes together, and it looks good together because it is modern. A lifted bed and a simple nightstand nearby can be some other elements to add to your barn-inspired room. The frame above the bed’s raised headboard is another to-die-for detail to keep in the back of your mind. A sloped window also allows to naturally lighten up the room, especially during certain parts of the day. You will be dazzled by how the whole look works together in harmony.

27. Use black and dark colors sparingly to seem more inviting.

A little can go a long way in interior design. An attic space can be synonymous with dark and creepy, but a fresh coat of white paint can easily make your room the most open, inviting place in your home. Add wooden floors in a hue that is not too dark, and you can create a cozy and dreamy look that you will surely adore. Black is a great accent color because it accentuates everything around it. You can also apply the same principles to a smaller room to make it seem bigger. White window covers can make it simple to keep the light out when you need to sleep. Large angled windows are another way to invite the best part of waking up while allowing the sun to lighten the entire attic naturally.

26. Make use of what you got.

Giving your attic a makeover does not have to be too labor-intensive. You can find inspiration for many things within your own space. Here is another great example of white in your interior design. Everything has been given a shabby white look – the walls, the ceiling, the floors. Even though the ceiling is low, the strategy put most items on the floor to make it seem like it was larger. You can achieve this attic room idea without the paint treatment. Halve the time spent erecting a brand new loft by getting your own inspiration. An attic with an exposed wooden beam or brick wall has quite the character already. Bring in industrial details, and you will complete a budget-friendly bedroom in no time.

25. Get inspired by Scandinavian trends.

What else could you need to make your attic bedroom a cozy place to sleep and stay?

24. Pick a classic theme and run with it.

Less is certainly more when working with an attic that is a bit on the small side. Downsizing does not have to be a bad thing necessarily. A smaller white space can still pack quite a punch when it comes to interior design, and the dominant white color in this room shows what can be accomplished in nearly half the space as others on this list. The black and white oversized photograph on the gray accent wall adds an extra wow factor. A runner rug in a neutral gray is an additional perk to the room’s overall feel. You can also put everything within reach with other finer details. The built-in bookshelf, desk, and closet give it a dorm-like sense but still has everything you need.

23. Use white textures for a modern look.

Another way to maximize a small attic space is to keep up with the lighter side of the color spectrum. White is an effortless color to work with. Breeze on into your new luxurious bedroom with this inspiration. The white on white is so incredibly classic that nothing can quite compare with the impeccable style. The plant and the painting on either side of the bed pull everything together in a neat and classic way. The throw blanket and rug provide more textured elements for this beautiful room, and the other decor pops against the white backdrop. What is not to love about this cozy choice for an attic bedroom? Incorporate your own personality in the attic bedroom that is also functional like with the floor photograph, the shelf, the plant, and the wicker basket.

22. Pick the perfect accent color.

Achieve the modern attic bedroom look you desire with the right kind of color that just pops. White and light colors are great for opening up the area, but the right hue in furniture, bedding, and fixtures works wonders in illuminating the central focal point of this attic room. Once you have a color theme in mind, play with the one color that speaks the most to you. You cannot deny the cheery yellow used in this attic space. A chandelier and a pendant light hanging from the ceiling can greatly improve your interior design aesthetic. Using a headboard as a plant stand is another nice touch that brings something unique to the room. A small window with a built-in wooden sill allows everything to be within reach when you lay your head down for the night.

21. Embrace the incredible vibe of a dark accent wall.

There is a certain sweetness that can be enjoyed when working with specific interior design ideas. Another option for a smaller sized attic, this room feels longer thanks to the paneled black accent wall. Dark colors naturally seem to recede, so the room looks more prominent because of the visual effect. The beautiful rug ties nicely with the bedding, and the privacy window for a light and airy feel as gorgeous as it comes. You can also connect the bedroom attic with a stoned wall column and feathery plant. While not large in space, this room impacts its attention to detail. How magnificent would it be to call this place your room at the end of the day?

16. Take it to the twin bunk bed.

A tiny space can present some challenges but take a look at this innovative way to decorate a small attic. Size doesn’t matter here. Your attic can also provide an excellent place for your twins to call their own if it is spacious enough. Place two identical single beds on top of each other. Each twin will get their own space to personalize but still enjoy the shared space with their brother or sister. The white shown here is clean and calming and helps the room look that much bigger. You can also add a pendant light in the middle of the room for more decoration. This bedroom attic could also be an excellent idea for an only child who likes to have friends stay over. The same situation applies, and they should have a great time during the sleepover in the shared room.

14. Pick an accent color for an eye-catching effect.

So much can be said with the right color palette, but the exclamation point to any interior design is the proper use of a pop of color. Take this gorgeous attic bedroom for an example. If you are sticking to a central theme, you can create more mystique with the addition of accent color on the wall behind the bed. The only orange item in this room may just be a throw blanket, but it has enough drama to make you take notice. The bare wooden walls are the perfect backdrop, with the triangular architecture details drawing them all to a point. It is best to have them all go toward the accent wall when dealing with textures. The zig-zag lines provide further interest as they draw the eyes up and down the slope of the room.
