High ceilings look great, but most of that space just sits empty above your head.
The room below still has to fit a bed, a sofa and storage, and that's usually where it gets tight.
Here the bed moved up onto a black steel platform with a railing, and a narrow spiral staircase takes you up without eating the floor. Under the bed there's a full lounge corner with a gray sofa, a round black coffee table and a soft rug. The metal frame on the side works as shelving for books, plants and decor.
Long curtains by the windows finish it off and make it feel like a hotel suite. Same floor, double the living space.
