there’s just something about an a-frame that is so comfy cozy. do you know what i mean? a-frames are usually tucked into an attic somewhere, and when they’re remodeled right, they can often offer up the best room, not to mention the best view, in a house. i’ve always wished i had one — ever since i was little i imagined an a-frame to be the perfect slumber party pad. now, i think of them as an ideal guest bedroom, or quiet home office. paint the floors, ceilings and beams white and an a-frame takes on a very scandinavian cottage vibe. here’s a few a-frame, loft-like spaces i could definitely live in.
Love all the white! And I completely agree about the a-frame ceiling. When I was little I always wanted my bedroom to be in a cool refurbished attic. I’m not sure why, I guess there is just something cozy and special about it. Fun post.

These are beautiful. The A-Frame reminds me of my old Fisher Price A-Frame house. Childhood and fantasy all wrapped up in one lovely package
What light and airy little cottages, and the A-frame totally steps it up a notch. Love it.
WORD. I get weak at the knees for A-frame.
Yes! I love A-frames! They remind me of the snowy months and dark months filled with skiing, warm fires, hot chocolate, you get the picture. ps. Have you seen Chad Randl’s book “A-frame”? I bought it in SF last year and it’s fantastic.
I love how much space and air they give to a room, without it feeling open or empty, especially when there are beams across. I love it in white, but I wonder how it would look with a darker color on the ceiling…
Agreed! I still pine away for one I lived in in Vancouver in my 20’s and it just felt like my own little bohemian oasis. I dream about having one again, but my 6 foot 7 husband, understandably, doesn’t share the same obsession! Thanks for the trip down memory lane :-)
Great post. A-frames really do have a specific cozy feel to them. And I love all white rooms.

Some of the dorm rooms on campus have a-frames, and my friends with those rooms are always complaining about the lack of space, but I think it looks quite cozy! You could also hang up a curtain from the crease! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
A-frames make the best bedrooms! I’ve always dreamed of having a bedroom like that with a skylight to watch the stars by of course.
