An Attic Room makeover with Bassett Furniture

Enter through what looks like a closet door in our master bedroom, and you’ll find a luxurious (albeit inconvenient) surprise - 800 square feet of pure privacy. An attic room, tucked secretly away from the other areas of the home, full of quirky angles and little gables.  With our family size, it would be far more convenient for this to be a 4th bedroom, but it would be easier to move altogether than to change the floor plan of the house to that scale.

So it’s ours, Tim’s and mine. Our own quiet space to get away from it all.  We’ve always dreamed of making it a beautiful retreat, but for the last few years it’s been used mostly as storage.  

That is until now!  With the help of Bassett Furniture, we were able to create the retreat that we’ve always dreamed of!  

The shining gem of the room is the wrap around sofa.  With clean modern lines and covered in lux green velvet, the Knox Sectional is a perfect choice for this room.  With an extra ottoman, it converts to either more seating or more room to prop of your legs (making it perfect for family movie nights). The Knox Sectional is a part of Bassett Furniture’s Modern Collection, delivering an accessible and contemporary vibe to the room. 

Adding two smaller coffee tables instead of one large one lends to the versatility of the room.  The pieces move around easily and can also be used as large end tables depending on the needs of the moment.  We choose these two Jasmine bunching tables in white. 

The Boulder End Table lends height to the room, and mimics the modern clean lines of the sofa. To add some soft light to the area, we added the Skylar floor lamp (available only in stores). For some texture and pattern play we added Bassett’s Clyde throw pillows.

We anchored the room with Bassett’s beautiful Sylvie rug.  The warm rust tones tie in perfectly with the wallpaper on the accent wall, and pair beautifully with the rich green of the sectional!

As always, including greenery brings life to any room, so we added a few plants to the space to make it glow.

We are beyond pleased with our new lounge space! With four very active kids, a quiet retreat is like a little slice of heaven for me and Tim. We were thrilled to partner with Bassett on this design.
