Reclaim Attic Space

Designer: Paige Sumblin Schnell

Size: 28 square feet

Before: An unfinished attic area with a big window.

The Transformation: "I embraced the natural light and framed a view by floating a vintage table-turned-vanity in front and hanging a small round mirror over the window," says Paige. "Dark walls painted Gauntlet Gray by Sherwin-Williams are high contrast and lend interest."

Small-Space Advice: "Simple color schemes work best when space is limited. They feel more focused and organized."
