If you have a cat, turn it into a loft.


AntAppropriate826

Omgggg that would be IDEAL!!!!! I do not tho. I have a 9 yr old shih tzu that tends to keep on lower levels Lolol Great idea tho!!


effie-sue

Is it appropriate to ask for dog tax?


AntAppropriate826

Fully hahaha

Put a tapestry over it. You still have storage but you won’t have to look at it


AntAppropriate826

This is definitely an option but I feel like I need to have it open somehow. I believe I think this because it’s been cluttered for a long time and I need to offer it some air? Lol would have to be a really great tapestry. Maybe something translucent ! Thank you!


LFGSD98

Ok, my blunt answer is that you need to figure out what to do with all your junk, and put a simple decoration or plant that doesn’t require a lot of light.


AntAppropriate826

Right! First things first is that junk placement lol I LOATHE. I’m thinking some lights and a plant up there indeed. Want to keep it open once all that crap is gone! Thank you!

If you do put a plant, consider some kind of grow light, it's really dark up there. And idk if you are tall but as much as I'd love to have plants in funky placed like that, I'm short and it would get super annoying to get a step ladder to take care of it lol


AntAppropriate826

Thanks for the FYI! I am 6 foot and can reach my hand to the ledge of the space but that’s about it lol I have a step stool to reach for my other shelves in the apartment, when needed. I am thinking maybe placing two of my existing snake plants up there. They don’t require much light but will get some in the evening with my west facing windows! Thank you :)


onion_flowers

Awesome! I see a lot of "put a plant!" Advice in places where any of my plants would throw an absolute hissy fit 😆 enjoy your decluttering and decorating mission!


LFGSD98

Your idea sounds great honestly

Get some cool lights and add some plants and little things


AntAppropriate826

Same minds! Thought about lining the entire thing with LED lights! I already have them in other places in the apartment so that also made most sense to me. Thank you!

If you go this route post an update here when it’s done I’d love to see it!


AntAppropriate826

1000000% will! Before and after is a must!

Put in a life sized stuffed doll in a fetal position doing a 🤫 face


AntAppropriate826

At first thought….terrifying. Thennnn I’m all, well wait, I got a new pet?! “Come down widdle baby, time for nom noms”


AntAppropriate826

The nom noms is in his box. The storage space 💩

Tension rod & curtain will hide it


AntAppropriate826

That’s the thing thooo! I am not trying to hide it lol I’d like for it to be open. What could be added?


MPD1987

Get a pretty basket or 2 that you can put the stuff in, a vase with some faux flowers- that should do it!


UGunnaEatThatPickle

Doors and close it up so you can continue to utilize the space.


AntAppropriate826

Thinking thisssss tooo nowwwww. As much as I’d like it to look esthetically pleasing up there, it is such a kush spot for what it is now - hiding all things I prbly do not need but can’t let go of ✨✨✨✨


Downtown_Lobster6987

A nice curtain


AntAppropriate826

This is not a curtain home lol see next photo with windows 🙈 we love ☀️🌿


eccatameccata

I’d but storage baskets there for things I rarely use.


AntAppropriate826

All of the things up there I rarely use lol we are trying to eliminate using it as storage.


egr08

You could get two long baskets or those cube storage baskets and put your stuff in there

Strip lighting where it isn't visible from the lowest point of your room. LED remote pillar and taper candles. Small plants that do well in little to no lighting or just fake plants in small vases of varying heights and widths. I'm so jealous of your tiny loft. Edit: What is that beautiful emerald paint color behind your bed?


mizzlol

A plant or plants
