7 Attic Renos Sure to Inspire

Looking for more square footage? Of course you do- you live in California, where square footage is hard to come by, even in the nicest, newest builds.  And most of us aren't lucky enough to have basement or "lower level" spaces.  What to do?  LOOK NORTH!  Embrace the angled walls and convert your attic into a master suite, guest room, office or a custom hideaway!  

The white walls allow the fun colors of this living space to shine.

A playroom kids will run to! Don't be shy about painting the floors- attic spaces can look funky and creative!

Shiplap contrasts with the fuzzy texture on the chairs in this home office.  You won't mind working late in this cheerful space.

Make the space multi-use- sleeping area, living area, even adding a bar or mini kitchen will make your new upper level your family's fave spot to hang.

Who wouldn't feel warm and cozy in this nook?  Allowing the wooden beadboard to come up on the ceilings adds a Tahoe-cabin feel in diffuse into the space.

Edison bulbs galore!  Explore unique lighting options for when the sun goes down- your guests will be impressed.

Lower ceilings are fine when you're relaxed in your home theater.  Go ahead and add some sparkle or stars- and pass the popcorn!
