Our attic bedroom is tricky to work with because of the sloped ceilings. We decided to use colorblocking and some shelves to bring a boring corner to life!

This is what we started with. I painted the beige walls white when we moved in. To keep the whole room cohesive with our other accent wall, we thought a green color block with open shelves would help this neglected space.
Decide on a colorblock shape
I played around with shapes using a pencil, then taped off the final shape to prepare for paint. We originally played around with a column idea but ended up embracing the slope. We ran out of painter’s tape so I used some electrical tape as shown.

Remove the tape and touch up with a small brush
It took a while but worked out great!
Add shelves
Or whatever you’d like! We were pretty limited in our options due to the lower ceilings, but adding open shelves was perfect for this space.
