If I had attics like these, I wouldn’t mind being known as the Madwoman in the Attic! Eight or so years ago I had plans to convert the loft into a study and library space, but fortunately for my wallet and sanity, I have given up such fantastical dreams. Instead, I gawp at other people’s attics.
Cosy little reading nook under the eaves, from Onekindesign.com
Not quite sure how many times I would bash my head against those beams, but it does look pretty, right? From cottagelife.com
Comfortable armchairs and footrests are indispensable. From Bookglow.net

Some spaces are bigger than others – I could probably fit all my stuff into this attic. From decoholic.com
Well, now, isn’t this a proper library, although it’s in a family home in Toronto? From The Globe and Mail.
Given the choice, I would always fill up my attic with books, but I have to admit this gallery/bedroom also looks rather nice. From luxurylaunches.com
Oh, they’re all such lovely, warm, safe-looking places, Marina Sofia! And what a great idea to convert attic/loft space to such inviting nests. I think I’d choose the one from Bookglow – those chairs are made for curling up (or stretching out) and reading. But they’re all wonderful.
Those triangular spaces at gable ends do cry out for book cladding, don’t they! (But I liked the wall of pictures too. 🙂) Here’s a loft we used to have with one end covered in books: https://wp.me/P2oNj1-2
Oh, these are glorious! Each one has such charm, and when I look at stacks and shelves of books such as these, I wonder why I constantly try to minimize my stacks? I must have a little Japanese in me, that loves to simplify and declutter. 😉 Anyway, thank you for inspiration to indulge!

My little office was originally in the roof space; only because my house is a chalet bungalow style. Not as interesting and lofty as these!
These are all so lovely – very covetable 🙂
Hard to choose but that first one’s nicely cosy.

Those are gorgeous! I’ve always fancied a romantic attic, and the first one is particularly cosy!!

The only one I didn’t care too much for was the one with the green chairs. Mind you, if you put nicer chairs in there, it would be lovely.
Gorgeous pictures. I love the idea of an attic library. Not really practical here, with the weather, at least not without AC.
