Look at all those skylights! There’s even one in the shower. Why didn’t you think of that?<\/p>\n

See, attic renovations don’t even require much effort. Just clean out the cobwebs, lay down a few rugs and you’re all set.<\/p>\n

Or you can go all out, as the designers of this bedroom\/bathroom attic have done. Previously featured in our roundup of\u00a013 praise-worthy church conversion projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to go wrong with a light-filled room overlooking Massachusetts’\u00a0Gloucester harbor. The above attic is part of\u00a0the town’s Sleeper-McCann House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even if your attic doesn’t offer much as far as space goes, you can still convert the room into a cozy sleeping nook.<\/p>\n

\"small<\/a>Photos: imgur<\/a><\/em>, imgur<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The concept works even if the sleeping area is only large enough for children.<\/p>\n

\"attic-8\"<\/a>Photo: imgur<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

One of the most dazzling lofts we’ve ever seen<\/a>, this attic apartment was\u00a0once the top floor of a warehouse in London, England.<\/p>\n

\"slanted<\/a>Photos: imgur<\/a>, imgur<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

More skylights and slanted ceilings — the hallmarks of any great attic.<\/p>\n

For $5.35 million<\/a>, you can own this 7,000-square-foot character house in south east London. The mansion boasts eight elegant bedrooms, a music and games room and, best of all, an attic that looks like it belongs on the set of Star Wars.<\/p>\n
