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.
