The attic in our new house had been converted, so we set about turning it into a bedroom for Bradley.
He was super excited. His own little den at the top of the house, away from whinging little brothers and nagging parents.
We had to turn it from an 'attic' into a cosy bedroom fit for a pre-teen.
He's 11 so we wanted something grown up, that he wouldn't grow out of in a couple of years.
I couldn't wait to get started. We had the walls re-plastered and central heating installed and was left with a blank canvas; a interior design fans dream!!
There is something about an attic room that makes them appealing, special, particularly for children; their own secret space!
We painted the walls and ceilings bright white, to make the space look bigger, painted the wooden beams, skirting and cupboard doors black and wallpapered the feature wall with a London theme.
Organising furniture into a small, quirky shaped space is pretty tricky. It's not a huge space, but for what he'll be using it for; sleeping and playing on his computer, it's perfect.
The eaves have been turned into storage space, leaving the room space clear.
I've come up with the following wish list, perfect for a pre-teens attic bedroom:
A high quality blind for your roof window is essential.
They come in lots of different colours, designs and functions, I particularly like the black out, pleated blinds.
VELUX offer manual, remote controlled, electrical and solar powered blinds, so there's something for every budget and room function.
We chose a black pleated blind for Bradley's room. It simply slides up and down so it's super easy for him to use day and night.

Gaming Chair
A gaming chair is a great idea for an attic room, with low ceilings. |

Pull Down Desk
A wall mounted desk that pulls down when homework calls, is a great space-saving idea and can be popped back up when finished.
How would you design an attic bedroom?
