Friday Fun: Going Mad in Attics

I’ve just finished reading Marlen Haushofer’s novella The Loft, but I’ve long had a love for attic conversions. In fact, back in the days when I thought this might be my forever house, I was planning to convert the loft into a very big study for myself (so that my sons can call me ‘the madwoman in the attic, perhaps?), drawing inspiration from one of the below.

A porthole, a swingchair and a skylight, who could want anything more? From Artstation.com
This one has my favourite colour scheme and a shabby chic look, but might feel a bit chilly in winter. From Bobvilla.com
Beautifully romantic rural feel, plus another hanging chair. From BurnettBungalow.com
This one actually reminds me of Austrian B&Bs in Tyrol and Salzburg, from PlasterandDisaster.com
This one is on a gigantic scale, perfect as a ballroom with a reading corner. From Home-designing.com
Needless to say, it’s the ones full of books that I really appreciate. From Pinterest.
This one has an especially cosy feel to it. From Homify.com
