You think your floor slopes !
External staircase to front entrance gets headroom by taking out some of the floor in a room I think will end up as the main bedroom. The floor space lost is about 1m by 1m and is currently disguised by a built in seat (had a desk in front of it) – the floor slopes up at about 45deg under this seat.
The windows need to be replaced as they are rotted.
I don’t really need/want a bench seat in a bedroom.
This “room” has been created by knocking out an internal partition wall.Original room sizes were 3800 x 2400 and 2900 x 2900, so now I have about 17m2 – L shaped.
The wall under the windows is the 2900. The seat takes up about 1m.
The wall at the opposite end is the 3800, so the run down the long side of the L is about 5400

Ok 17m2 should be big enough for a bedroom but can’t work out what to do with the corner with the seat.
Options thought of so far include:

  • Take seats off and have pot plants
  • Take seat out back to sloping floor and build a wardrobe around it and use it as shoe racks? - but think I will still have some sort of window in that wall even tho it faces south west to get the breeze in summer.
  • Take seat out back to sloping floor and build bookshelves.



Anyone seen any brilliant ideas on what to put over a sloping floor area like this?
