a realistic attic with sloped ceilings smooth painted walls and wooden plank flooring retain the existing pull down stair opening on the floor and add a small ceiling pinlight as the only light source softly illuminating the space place several scattered cardboard boxes some stacked neatly and others slightly worn or half open add old items such as a dusty wooden chair a vintage trunk a rolled up rug and a few framed pictures leaning against the wall subtle cobwebs in the corners and light dust particles in the air enhance the nostalgic slightly forgotten atmosphere
