Loft or attic rooms are the perfect space for kids.  If you’re short on space with a growing family then converting your loft in to a kids room or playroom is the answer.  It’s a lot cheaper than moving house and with a little thought, you can turn that unused loft space in to a super cool bedroom that the kids will be fighting over!  It doesn’t even matter if the loft space is very small, it can still make a single bedroom and sometimes even a small space can accommodate two kids as you’ll see from these loft bedroom decorating ideas.  Here are some awesome loft bedrooms to inspire you:

This loft bedroom is a tiny space but every inch of space has been used very well.  The cupboard under the eves is great for storing all those toys and by using light colours, this room looks gorgeous and cosy instead of small and cramped. 

This kids attic room is a far bigger space and makes the perfect room for two.  It’s a boy and girl shared space and by placing the beds under the sloping parts of the ceiling, the space is maximised leaving lots of room for play.

This room is so striking!  I love how they’ve used contrasting black and white to accentuate the sloped ceilings which gives such a dramatic look.  And because the ceiling is so low, instead of wasting the space, they’ve cleverly put a mattress on the floor without a bed making such a cosy sleeping space for any kid.

This is another small attic room which has used the space so well.  They’ve actually used the structure of the roof to make the bed area – how clever is that?  Many people would probably overlook a small space like this in their home  or use it as a room to dump stuff in but it makes such a lovely little bedroom for a child who after all doesn’t need the same headroom as adults.

The space under the sloping ceiling of a loft room is also a great space to put a desk as this room shows us.  It creates an intimate little space to do homework or any desk work.  If your loft room is going to be shared by two kids, this would be a great way of creating an individual little corner for each child.

This is a bit of a blurry image but I still wanted to include it because this is another great space saving way to place beds in a shared loft room.  If you don’t have quite enough width to place beds side by side, this is the answer and will work so well in long and narrow loft spaces.  I also love that the beds are under a big window – lots of scope for star gazing at night!

This adorable space is shared by two sisters.  It not a big space but it’s still perfect for a pair of sisters.  In a small loft room you can use a shared bedside table and then beyond the beds is a little play space.  I can just imagine the hours of fun the two little girls have hiding out and playing in their cosy room (when they’re not fighting of course!)

Loft rooms feel like a kind of hideout and that’s why they can make amazing rooms for kids.  Big or small, high ceilings or low any space in your loft can be turned in to an amazing kids space.  Unlike basements, loft rooms are always bright because you can add plenty of windows to let in lots of natural light as the rooms above show us.  And with such a wide range of roof windows available from places like VELUX you don’t even have to search too hard.  All you need is a little imagination and you can create such a cool space for your kids.  If not a bedroom then a think about creating a playroom to keep all those toys contained in one place.  If I had a loft I would definitely be converting it in to a useable space but I’m just not sure whether I could give it to the kids!
