The Way to Salvage a Space with Slanted Ceilings



Okay, so your loft ceilings drop dangerously low, leaving the smallest square of wrought space where you can actually endure without getting a crick in your neck. All isn’t lost. With a little finesse, it is possible to fit a workable room out of that unwieldy location. Here are the tips to tame the angles and take your house’s top story.

Put storage around the periphery of the space. The bottom ceiling height is around the sides. If you obstruct this area, nobody is conscious of exactly how low it really goes.

Embrace the distance. Slanted ceilings have their charm. Here the very low angle makes a nook that feels cozy and all to yourself — only try doing exactly the identical thing in a vaulted room.

See what I mean? The clothing stands fill the region where the slant gets really low, so you can pick out your clothes using a buffer between you and the awkward ending of the angle.

Turn it into a spare bedroom. You might not immediately believe a bedroom would work for these tight spaces, however as long as you’re not prone to jumping to the bed, it might very well fit just fine. Just be certain that you test sitting in bed — should you suddenly bolt upright you do not want to risk having a concussion!

Play around with the arrangement. You may be amazed; occasionally it may look too low but actually will fit just perfect.

Fashion it to some pass-through. You seldom hang out in hallways, as long as there is a centre corridor where you can walk without bumping your head, it will do the job just fine. This way it becomes a fascinating architectural element as opposed to a detriment.

Pass it off to the children. Turn a loft or alternative angled room into a play area which fits them just perfect. To some grownup it’s an awkward space, but to some child it’s their own kid-size hideaway or clubhouse.

Stick to light, airy colors. White will open the space up and keep it from feeling like the walls are caving in on you.
