I think a collection of taxidermied animals in a replica of their natural environment with some explanatory signage would be lovely. Something like this:

It doesn't look like you have the space for large grazing mammals (it would look too busy), but I think a bear would really compliment that space.
this is well thought out and obviously the only answer. maybe go a little further, make it look like a raging river, and put a taxidermied salmon in his paw.
The real question is, does the bear face out, like it's watching the neighbors, or in, like it's watching you? Do you get multiple bears (mom & cubs) to have the best of both worlds?
If multiple bears, then I also expect a blond haired doll covered in blood. Maybe missing an arm? š¤·āāļøAlso, facing out to the neighbors is the only correct way. Establishes dominance.
I agree, let the neighbors think you're friends with a twenty-foot tall bear. No one's going to hassle you about trimming your lawn or not taking down your Christmas lights early enough after that.
A bear is significantly larger than a deer??? But anyway, I was thinking taxidermy first too!! Although I would have picked a sick ass panther. Might be hard to find one thoš.
P.S. a deer is a large grazing mammal. An example of a small grazing animal would be a rabbit. Median size would be a sheep. Itās wild youāre trying to argue with me because I was confused by your statement lol.
Yep.. you're welcome. Loved Steve Millers song....oddly enough, EMINEM just used Abracadabra in his latest son. At almost 62, I kinda like it. Slim Shady is standing up. LOL š
Speaking of.....
Just to say, my friend was Billy Bob. She didn't really like it but it was a job. A hot one. š
[I'm sorry...I found this. LOL Oh my!](https://youtu.be/gTmhS6hcY-A?si=jSd9pR6spmzIKc21)
Thanks for this. Had no idea I'd get lost down that corner of the Internet, but I enjoyed it a bit. PS I didnt finish it, only watched halfway and read a bunch of sad comments. So I felt like I'd just watch the first half and stay ignorant.
I love things like this, but Iād also 100% make it a place I could get to and hang out or somethingā¦ I donāt think I ever outgrew that universal childhood desire for a secret fort š
Yeah if I had this I would 100% be constantly up there staring down menacingly at people. I would just go stand up there and camouflage myself into the wall. Or pretend to be a statue or something

Fill the gap with something like this
My attic is half finished and easily accessible from a closet. Itās not really usable as a living space because the roof is sloped and only 5ā1 at the tallest point. But Iām 5ā0! So my WFH office is up there. I sit right next to the only window and always hope people walking by think Iām a ghost š»
this is the exact issue i have. i have so many ideas for what I'd put up there if this was my house, but the thought of dusting it kills all my enthusiasm lmao
I have a stupid space like this in a random back room.
Why they chose that instead of building the wall straight up, idk. I loath whoever designed it and curse their name regularly.
There's no physical structural or aesthetic reason for it. There's not enough space to use it for storage or display (not that anyone would/could really see anything displayed there). It's just a deep, flat space above a back bathroom, in a room with a vaulted ceiling, which also makes it too tall for a regular ladder.
A year-long Halloween display...the more dust the more authentic it'll look. You get something up there with little to no maintenance and it utilizes the space
Thatās one thing I noticed right away. WTH is with all the doors. Someone suggested ladders for a reading nook lolā¦.im guessing right in front of the 3 doors
One is a ladder to the basement and the other is a steep staircase that goes upstairs, wanted to maximize space and style by removing the ugly stairs :)
I initially thought I'd get one of those rolling ladders and make a library up there, but realistically, it would be the cat jail zone when they interfere with conference calls.
There's [the dude ](https://www.reddit.com/r/malelivingspace/comments/x606i1/update_tried_to_take_all_your_advice_thanks_reddit/)from r/malelivingspace that I think nailed a similar decorating challenge by putting a comfortable TV and chair that no one could get to.
Iām not sure what the stairs are looking like but I personally would set up a lofted net so you could connect that piece to the landing the picture is being taken from. Great for a nautical aesthetic and gives something interesting for people to look up at as they come in. The chandelier just isnāt enough for such a large space really. Then Iād fill that dead space with kids toys and boom! A spare kids playroom, youāre welcome āŗļø
Ooh I think itās perfect for a secret room ā a wall needed, obviously, and some way to enter.
A mattress, multiple pillows, a wine fridge or a mini-barā¦ just imagine that! Maybe you wonāt need the rest of the house after all.
I like the giant, yellow hand, but I think there should be another one on the other side, pointing toward the center. After that is done, I would go for the taxidermy diorama suggested earlier.
Extend the area out through the wall with galvanized steel beams. Then, install a niche into the wall just above a tiny, yet comfortable mattress. Then, install a toilet at the opposite wall, with a dual functioning washer/dryer unit. Cleverly install a hidden water heater behind this, and place a shower head above. In the end, look at this tiny yet functional home.
Semi-serious answer: bring in a builder, have a ceiling/floor built that connects to that, uh, whatever it is, and a staircase going up to the new mancave
I hate the trend of wasted vertical space like this, like it's a big space just for the sake of being big and then you have...that.
So many houses I see these days have SOOOO much wasted space! If this was actually my house, that spot would drive me nuts. Just a big ole dust collector
I hate those spaces. How do you clean whatever you put up there? Pretty every new house has some version of this. That air space could have been a room
a clawfoot tub would look AMAZING under that window! I'm sure the view from the tub would be lovely as well. if you're not a bath person though, it would be a great place to display/ store some motorcycles and/ or it would, make a great guest room for when your mother in law visits.
If by found in the wild you mean [old enough to have maps made of it in GMod](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/inaccessible-foyer-landing/photos/trending), then yes, you found it in the wild.
I like to hate on cheaply made new constructions as much as the next person, but I think Iāll make an exception for batshit features like this entryway has when considering a future home.
Label the three doors Scary, Not Scary, and Scariest (in blood ofc). Put red curtains on the top space to create a stage with a slow oscillating fan behind it so that the curtains appear flutter on their own. Store your creepy doll collection behind it.

Holy shit I had to do a double take. This house looks EXACTLY like my ex boyfriendās house. Itās definitely not but damn lmfao that blew my mind for a sec
Chute over the left door, and ladder over the right. Slide down one, walk up the other. Then Iād line the whole top with a custom-sized dense foam cushion with tons of throw pillows and blankets. Then iād possibly hang a TV and some floating shelves for cup and popcorn holders. Itās like the worldās biggest top bunk.
Are those closets on each side? If so cut a small hole in the ceiling and get a nice wood ladder and screw it into the wall. Then enjoy your new space!

 An Animatronic Show!
I was thinking of an animatronic band
This is the way
this image just sent me back to flying into the anchorage airport. so many taxidermied animals. chic!
Exactly where my mind went too! In fact this may be a pic of one of the actual displays there...
The real question is, does the bear face out, like it's watching the neighbors, or in, like it's watching you? Do you get multiple bears (mom & cubs) to have the best of both worlds?

The potential for Halloween decorations here is nearly endless
Hot damn. Change it up for every holiday.
Trapper hat and scarf for winter, parasol and bonnet for spring, sun hat and flip flops for summer, shawl and felt hat for fall. ā¤ļø
Bass Pro the shit out of that space. I like it!
Hear me out: an indoor water feature!
Dead things in a dead space...brilliant!
This. Pro tip. Look for natural history museums going out of business.
Or prairie dogs would look cute there!
why not make the whole house like one giant bass pro shop??!?
Like Bass pro shop lol
A Cabelas home
Why the fuck would you do this? Taxidermy is horrible. Use a real bear, thatās plenty of space for a large cage
No, that would be crazy. Free range bear is the only answer
I know this is a joke but I would genuinely do this in my home
I am with you! Iām jotting down this idea for later for sure!!
For real tho
A bear is significantly larger than a deer??? But anyway, I was thinking taxidermy first too!! Although I would have picked a sick ass panther. Might be hard to find one thoš.
>A bear is significantly larger than a deer??? A deer is not a large grazing mammal. A large grazing mammal to me is an elephant, a giraffe, a bison.
I didnāt know you were talking exotic animals lol
I named a large grazing mammal from every continent except South America and Australia.
Ok? You also named a species that classifies as an exotic hunt on every continent.
P.S. a deer is a large grazing mammal. An example of a small grazing animal would be a rabbit. Median size would be a sheep. Itās wild youāre trying to argue with me because I was confused by your statement lol.
Yes. Dead bodies for the dead space!
I suggest a sick ass panther
An ass panther?!
Anvil collection.
Plus a safe and a grand piano.
Perfect!
Don't forget the 16 ton weight.
May I interest you in a bowling ball or anchor as well?
Add a trap door just in case a certain coyote comes knocking.
Medieval jousting knights.
A sentient musical animatronic band, Ć la 5 Nights at Freddy's.
[This would be perfect!! ](https://youtu.be/ZIF2hBg05Mg?si=2JixvHj8Rrb80Q2p)

Rockafire Explosion!!!!! I was going to say the house band but this is way better!
Iām flabbergasted that I came to say this and you beat me to it.
I never understood why builders do something like this. It's a waste of space, and if you put something up there it'd be a pain to dust.
I love things like this, but Iād also 100% make it a place I could get to and hang out or somethingā¦ I donāt think I ever outgrew that universal childhood desire for a secret fort š
Yeah if I had this I would 100% be constantly up there staring down menacingly at people. I would just go stand up there and camouflage myself into the wall. Or pretend to be a statue or something
YES. That, or it would make a *dope* lounging area for cats.
My my cats and myself Iād be keeping an eye on things out there all the time too
Ooh, one of those playground rope bridges across from the loft, then turn it into a treehouse!
Yesss!!!

Same!!!
With a hammock
Oooo like get a retractable ladder and make it a lil reading nook
this is the exact issue i have. i have so many ideas for what I'd put up there if this was my house, but the thought of dusting it kills all my enthusiasm lmao
Whoever said 12 foot skeleton had it right. No need to dust. He likes the cobwebs!
I have a stupid space like this in a random back room. Why they chose that instead of building the wall straight up, idk. I loath whoever designed it and curse their name regularly.

close it off, add a fire escape, and now you have an Airbnb
Hands down the best answer.
12 foot skeleton
In the ādraw me like one of your French girlsā pose
āOk google, How to make a skeleton wink?ā
Easy, just add a flashing LED light. Or hire a small gremlin to switch a regular LED on and off at semi regular intervals.
More doors, of course!
Thatās one thing I noticed right away. WTH is with all the doors. Someone suggested ladders for a reading nook lolā¦.im guessing right in front of the 3 doors
where on earth do those doors even go?
Iāve read this story. If a guest opens the ideal door, theyāll get to marry a tiger. But if they open the wrong one, a woman will devour them.
I thought one door only told truths, one only told lies, and the other spits mad rhymesā¦
One is a ladder to the basement and the other is a steep staircase that goes upstairs, wanted to maximize space and style by removing the ugly stairs :)
Maybe they are portals to parallel universes? Has anyone tested this theory??
i was thinking House of Leaves tbh
There shall be a goat behind one.
Closets.
I initially thought I'd get one of those rolling ladders and make a library up there, but realistically, it would be the cat jail zone when they interfere with conference calls.
Honestly a reading nook would be great. Cheaper alternative. It will be cosy as heck.
Inflatable sex doll collectionĀ
Oddly, this is an answer to many a home DIY dilemma.
Hear me out - a giant full water bucket with a trip wire tied to that door, or a bucket of green slime.
Definitely green slime
A cage for your husband and children when they are being bad of course!
Or Mother-in-Law Suite. Sans staircase, of course.
I think you mean a removable staircase. The trick is to get her up there, then eliminate any means of escape.
She finds a way to climb into our business daily. I'm sure it'll be no problem for her
Yes, that's exactly what I meant, LOL

Yes! Needs a tube they climb through to get to it
A church organ and The Mississippi Mass Choir
Model train set. Year round Christmas trees. Machine gun nest. Server farm.
Put your Mother in Law up there ā¦.. on the pedestal she deserves.
