Attics are a type of storage space located in the uppermost part of a building, usually under the roof. They are often used to store items that are not frequently used. The term 'ATTIC' is often used interchangeably with two other terms: GARRETS (7 letters) and lofts (5 letters). GARRETS are typically found in older buildings and are usually unfinished, while lofts are more modern and often have a finished interior. Both GARRETS and lofts are used for storage, but they can also be used as living spaces.
