The sloping ceiling and internal staircase of a loft room make it a fun and unique space to decorate for the holidays. Here’s our top ideas…

Spruce up the lighting

If you have a chandelier hanging from a sloping roof, add spruce or fir branches and some hanging baubles to add sparkle and festive cheer to the lighting.

Make the stairs a feature

Add some decorative touches to the internal stairs to create a festive path up into the loft. Weave a garland around the balusters, or place LED candles on the treads along the railing side. Of course, use your discretion - you don’t want to create a tripping hazard, and skip this idea if you have small children. But some carefully placed decorations can really add to the festive vibes in your home.

O Christmas tree

The sloping roof of a loft room can be an unexpectedly awesome place to tuck in a Christmas tree, creating a festive focal point. 

Create a cosy Christmas corner

Use the space under the sloping roof to create a cosy nook for chilling out during the holiday season. Try comfy armchair, a plush ottoman and a thick rug to make an ideal space for for unwrapping presents or curling up with mulled wine and a good book. Be sure to pile on the toasty blankets and fluffy cushions!
