attic room

Space under rafters

An attic room is a room located in the attic—the space directly beneath a roof.

Attic rooms often have sloped ceilings following the roofline and may serve as bedrooms, storage areas, or converted living spaces: The children slept in the attic room.

In older homes, attic rooms were traditionally servants' quarters.
