What word is popular in American English? Room in roof is called: 1) attic: the space or room at the top of a building, under the roof, often used for storing things. 2) loft: a space at the top of a building under the roof used for storing things and usually entered by a ladder, or sometimes made into a room for living in. 3) garret: a habitable attic, a living space at the top of a house or larger residential building, often small, dismal, and cramped, with sloping ceilings. 4) sky parlor: a room on the top floor of a house directly beneath the roof. (Definitions are from Cambridge dictionary or lexico) Thank you for your help 😊

If you have money, you say "I have a loft apartment." If you don't have money, you say "I live in the attic." This is funny, but true.

I’ve never heard of “sky parlor”. I’ve heard my parents say “garret” (they’re 80 years old) but I rarely hear it. Attic and loft are in common usage.

An attic is a storage space, where only bugs, squirrels and maybe dead relatives would live. A loft is a living space, often open to the room below. Nobody in North America says "garret" or "sky parlour" unless they just got off the plane from somewhere else.

Loft or an attic. Attic is probably more common because loft also is a type of apartment.
