A room in an attic is called an attic room, garret, loft, loft bedroom, or attic bedroom, with garret being traditional term for small attic room under sloping roof, and loft being modern term for open attic space converted to living area. If attic room is finished as bedroom, it is called attic bedroom or loft bedroom. If it is small and cramped, historically called garret, which was often used as servant quarters or artist studio in old houses. If attic room is used as office, it is called attic office or loft office. If attic is large open space, it may be called loft apartment when converted to full dwelling. In some houses, room in attic is called bonus room or flex room, indicating extra space above garage. So room in attic can be called garret for small traditional attic room, loft for open modern converted space, attic bedroom for bedroom conversion, or simply attic room. For example, finished attic with drywall, flooring, and windows used as bedroom is called attic bedroom, while small unfinished storage room in attic is called attic storage room. So most common names are garret, loft, and attic bedroom, depending on size, finish, and use, similar to how Packout boxes have different names like organizer or tool box for different functions in system.
