Sloped Ceilings: 8 Rooms Where They Are the Star!

Sloped Ceilings: 8 Rooms Where They Are the Star!

Sloped ceilings and walls can be a headache when it comes to interior design. Many homeowners don’t know what to do with all these odd angles nor how to arrange their furniture.

 

However, with a little ingenuity, sloped ceilings can become the focal point of a room. The following homeowners have rightly understood how to showcase this unique architectural feature. 

A Spectacular Bathroom

This multi-angled wall is so completely and perfectly integrated into the design that one might believe it was built in this strange way on purpose for a more dynamic look. To heighten the drama of this chic bathroom, the wall has been replaced by a contemporary glass window. Plus, the contrasting black framing really punch up the decor.

A Show Stopping Ceiling

This century-old home’s bathroom wouldn’t be half as charming if it didn’t have such unique and original architecture. The skylight is perfectly positioned to maximize the sloped ceiling’s impact. The wide floorboards and white beams also contribute to this country-style room’s appeal.

A Modern Corridor

There is no doubt about it, angles can make any boring space more interesting! Which is exactly the case here in this once commonplace corridor. Its bold structure really makes you stop and take notice. It is true that this sloping ceiling may not be practical for very tall people, but it is dynamic. And don’t forget the skylight, which tones down the sharp lines and makes the passage more welcoming.

A Streamlined Guest Room

When there isn’t enough space in the house to host guests overnight or longer, consider utilizing the attic. It might be perfect once renovated. But the ceiling under the roof is often sloped. Not a problem! Here the owner has added a window to let the daylight in and used the vaulted ceilings to create a grandiose atmosphere.

A Happy Kids Room

It’s hard not fall in love with this soft and cozy children’s bedroom. In fact, without the show stealing sloping wall, it certainly wouldn’t be so impressive. The inclined ceiling enhances everything in this room, from the rocking chair to the atypical desk and plush rug.

An Audacious Reading Nook

Some homeowners would be racking their brains trying to figure out what to do with this room’s design to avoid being left with empty wasted space. But there are so many possibilities! For example, create a reading nook with a low chair, to maintain visually pleasing proportions. Another option would be to lay a circular area rug on the floor, cushions and book storage for a fun relaxation zone.

For the Best View

One trick to stop a sloped wall feeling claustrophobic is to install large windows or a skylight. Another is to use pale tones on the walls to open the space up. The wall will be transformed! Here, both methods have been employed. Thanks to the simple vanity and the lack of an accent colour, this is a light and bright bathroom.

A Dynamic Bedroom

There is no wasted space in this teenager’s bedroom! And yet its layout is far from typical. Its irregularity has been turned into an advantage with perfectly adapted furniture. The wardrobe is neither too tall nor too wide, and the small home office seems custom-made to fit into the nook beneath the ceiling.

There is no reason why angled walls should be a source of frustration for homeowners. You can always find a way of using this original building feature to make a room stand out. To help you properly make the most of slopes and inclines, make them the focal point of your decor instead of trying to camouflage them and pick furniture that is well proportioned to the space.
