Before the remodel, the attic bedroom was just a small uninsulated closet, outdated popcorn ceilings, and a layout that didn’t make the most of the natural light or the available square footage. Our clients wanted this level to be highly functional – a space where every corner had purpose. They imagined a bedroom with style and personality, a reading nook for slow mornings, an office that felt tucked away yet still connected, and a place to relax and watch TV at the end of the day.

Attic Remodel
Our Client's Vision
Primary Bedroom Color Palette
Primary Bedroom Mood Board
While the biggest goal of the space was to use every square inch of the attic in a way that felt thoughtful, cozy, and aligned with the next chapter of their lives, our clients were also expected to make a truly vibrant, charming space. Bold green-and-blue wallpaper around a new fireplace brought depth and color, while the office nook borrowed light through a new opening so it never felt closed off. We removed the popcorn ceilings and added cork flooring throughout for softness and warmth.
