There s not a whole lot else that could be done with the space above so the long bank of cabinets makes the space useful.
Building a storage room in the attic.
Rip 1 2 thick plywood to 24 widths so it will fit up the attic stairs.
Build a frame on 16 centers perpendicular to the attic floor joists.
The floor structure of an attic is also the framing for the ceiling beneath it.
Many building codes require a permanent safe staircase leading to an attic living space.
The above attic space illustrates this perfectly.
If your attic is a playroom pile on vibrant colors to make the space bright and happy.
This is made up of ceiling joists typically 2x6 or larger boards.
As long as they are not damaged the joists should be strong enough to allow you to move around in the attic for an inspection and to provide storage for typical boxed items.
Carpet tiles are also a brilliant choice for playrooms.
I also really like the skylights which brightens up the space nicely.
If one gets stained swap it with one in a less conspicuous part of the room.
A modular sectional makes a great place to snuggle and lounge.
Full the spaces between the frame members with insulation.
Stairs must measure at least 3 feet wide and 13 feet tall and rise at a 30 to 35 degree angle.
