Children in attic rooms - advice please

[pebbles]

We are thinking of moving our son up to our attic room. One side has a sloping roof leading to the under the attic storage door and the other side has a highish ceiling.

We are thinking of buying a mid sleeper with desk/storage underneath to go where the higher ceiling is however other than that idea we are at a loss as to how to leave him with enough space to play.

If anyone can recommend mid sleepers or maybe take photos of their fabulous attic bedroom storage that would be greatly appreciated.

Also one thing we are worried about is the velux window and the amount of noise it makes when it rains - does anyone have any solutions (i don't think there is a solution but thought it was worth asking!!!).

Thanks in advance

We have a mid sleeper from ASPACE which is lovely. We got it in one of their sales. It went together very easily and is a lovely bit of furniture. Also you get playing space underneath the bed!

As for the rain noise, you can get awnings from Velux that they say will reduce rain noise.

I have no experience of them, but I remeber reading about them when we did a loft conversion.

Oooo thanks everyone. I'm going to phone velux tomorrow and ask :)

That aspace one looks amazing but would definitely need it on sale. I might see on ebay

Thanks

Keep the advice coming :)

you will be surprised at how soothing the rain noise is. my son has never woken despite having been in the attic since birth (it is also our room btw)

we got a platform bed on ebay
