Many times, attic bathrooms can feel cramped, underused, and like a relic from the past. However, the unique look of attic bathrooms offer plenty of opportunities to try out things you couldn't do in normal bathrooms, like hanging wallpaper on the ceiling or installing a sloped shower.

Get ready to find out some wonderful ways to style them and prepare to embrace the lowly attic bathroom. Keep reading to see 12 attic bathrooms you'll want in your home ASAP.

01 Install Subway Tile

Give your bathroom a classic look, no matter where it is in the home, with subway tile. A subway tile surround is the perfect frame for the shower porthole in this attic bathroom, and the subway backsplash finishes off the look.

02 Use a Bold Color

Thanks to the tricky nature of rooflines, many attic bathrooms are short on space. However, a small bathroom can be just as colorful as its full-size counterpart, as this bathroom from Erin Williamson Design goes to show. Bright blue tile makes the space feel artistic, tropical, and ready for your morning getting-ready routine.

03 Paint the Ceiling Black

One of the most unique features of attic bathrooms can be their sloped ceilings. Take advantage of this defining characteristic by drawing attention to it. How? By painting it. Black or another similarly dark hue will draw the eye upward, showing off your unusual ceiling.

04 Frame a Bathtub

If your attic bathroom is lucky enough to have a bay window and sloped ceilings, then there isn't much more we can suggest to make your bathroom prettier than it already is. However, if you really want to step up your already-one-of-a-kind bathroom, install a bathtub near your bay window for beautiful views in a beautiful space.

05 Let Light in

Natural light can make a big difference in any space, especially small attic bathrooms. The window in the space above, from JK Interior Living, adds warmth and sunshine to a space in the home that's too often thought of as cold and dreary.

06 Match Sizes to Your Space

If your attic bathroom is small, it's crucial not to overwhelm it with too-big décor or fixtures. It will seem out-of-place and cramped. Instead, add smaller décor and fixtures to a smaller bathroom for a look that's balanced and styled, without feeling cluttered.

07 Cut Your Mirror to Fit

But sometimes, a round mirror just won't do. If that's the case, we love what JK Interior Living did to the attic bathroom above. The carefully-cut mirror fits perfectly in the sloping ceiling and gives the whole bathroom a custom-made feel.

08 Go All White

Another classic bathroom look can be found in all-white-everything. Whether your bathroom is modern, contemporary, or historic, white elements brighten and simplify a space. It's a great color choice for an attic bathroom that may feel cramped and dim otherwise.

09 Use Unique Ceiling Textures

Most attic bathroom ceilings are made of painted drywall, but it doesn't have to be that way in your own space. Consider a more unique ceiling texture like tile, wood paneling, or even concrete. An unusual ceiling is another great way to draw attention to the eclectic features of an attic bathroom.

10 Install Shiplap

It's no surprise that the farmhouse-chic favorite is a great pick for attic bathrooms too. The pared-down style that shiplap brings to a space enhances it without overwhelming it, making a good choice for tight spaces like attic bathrooms.

11 Pair Paneling With Penny Tile

The eaves and slopes of attic bathrooms already make them feel quite historic. Amp up that historic factor by installing two vintage favorites: paneling and penny tile. The serene and charming look of this bathroom by Sarah Brown Interiors exemplifies this pairing perfectly.

12 Try a Sloped Shower

Ready for a unique showering experience? Install a shower (with a rain head, of course) to the sloped part of your bathroom. Not only is this a great way to take advantage of awkward corners in your attic bathroom, it's also a stunning feature too.
