With advice from professional interior designers, learn how to transform irregular surfaces and sloped ceilings into functional and attractive parts of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to approach attic design? Make it fit you.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make the most of every square meter in your home, the attic can become your best ally. Instead of seeing it as a challenge, view it as an opportunity for creative and smart solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Below, we share tips on how to determine the best use for your attic space, understand its technical limitations, and choose the most suitable furniture depending on the room\u2019s function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attic bedroom: a peaceful retreat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Placing the bed against the lowest part of the wall is a common practice. Make sure that the lowest wall height is at least 100 cm (about 3.3 feet) so you can sit up in bed without hitting your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Built-in wardrobes under sloped ceilings should have a minimum height of 140 cm to be functional for clothing storage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An upholstered headboard that follows the slope of the ceiling gives a sense of completeness and comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical note:<\/strong> Space under a sloped ceiling below 90 cm is difficult to use for functional furniture pieces, except for storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
