Jul 24 2019 by Elle Taylor

Rather than move house to gain an extra bedroom, you can create your own piece of serenity up among the stars with a loft or attic conversion. As well as all that bohemian romance of sleeping at the highest point of the house, a bedroom in the loft is a practical way to expand your home, and probably increase its value, too. You'll be the king — or queen — of your castle as you lie in your comfy bed at the uppermost reaches of your home.

If you don't know where to start, we've found all the inspiration you need to take the plunge and convert your attic, with real-life examples to inspire your plans. Ahead, take note of all the helpful little details of these 27 attic bedrooms, and immerse yourself in bedroom decoration ideas too, whether you're creating a master, kids' bedroom, or spare room.
