Storage often ends up in attic rooms where sloping ceilings make it difficult to use the space. Boxes, old furniture, exposed plaster and damaged walls filled the room before it even looked like part of the house.
Instagram creator @botanical_revival Spent months completing an attic conversion that turned a neglected space into a master ensuite. Instead of hiding the ceiling, the renovation worked with it, adding a skylight shower, marble surfaces, oak cabinetry, brass fixtures and richly painted walls that transformed one of the smallest rooms in the house.
Cracked walls show how neglected the attic had become
The original room served as storage rather than living space. Peeling plaster, exposed brick, cracked walls, unfinished wood panels and a low sloping ceiling gave little indication that the room could be a bathroom.
Boxes, wrapping paper and spare furniture took up most of the floor. Natural light reaches the space through old windows, but worn finishes dominate every surface.
The sloping ceiling became the bathroom’s strongest feature
Instead of fighting the roofline, renovations embraced it. Dusty pink walls follow the ceiling from one end of the room to the other, making the architecture feel deliberate rather than restrictive.
A large skylight floods the room with daylight, while the fountain occupies the highest part below the slope. Large stone-like floor tiles keep the narrow room from feeling busy despite the angled ceiling.
An oak vanity introduced warmth without heavy cabinetry
Fluted oak drawer fronts bring texture beneath the marble countertop, giving the vanity the look of custom furniture rather than a standard bathroom cabinet.
A wall-mounted brass tap declutters the countertop while a marble backsplash extends across the entire width of the vanity. Tall white sconces frame the mirror and repeat the room’s restrained palette.
Frameless glass keeps the shower open below the roofline
Clear glass allows the shower to fit under an angled ceiling without obstructing views across the room. Vertical Zellige-style wall tiles draw attention upward and make the ceiling appear higher.
A marble shower bench introduces another solid stone element while echoing the vanity top throughout the room. Matching brass shower fittings continue the same material palette.
Brass fixtures became decorative features
Traditional exposed shower controls replace hidden modern hardware with something more substantial. Brass fittings paired with white ceramic handles reinforce the classic effect of the bathroom, standing out against the soft neutral tile.
Every visible fitting shares the same finish, creating continuity from the shower to the vanity and towel ring.
Continued on marble and brass vanity
Carrara marble wraps over the countertop and backsplash before meeting the wall-mounted brass faucet above the sink. Running the faucet off the countertop creates a clean surface and leaves the stone undisturbed.
The muted pink walls soften the contrast between the marble and brass, while the oak vanity underpins the composition with a natural texture.
