There is a wonderful bedroom at Beauport/Sleeper-McCann Mansion in Gloucester that comes to mind:

Our bedroom is kind of an attic bedroom, since we live in a 1 1/2 story cottage. Our bedroom has all those slanty wall/ceilings and many head bumps have been sustained over the years.
I love that bedroom!!! It's like a Secret Garden bedroom.

I lived in a Cape Cod, and my bedroom had lots of slanted roofs, and my father had built some wonderful built-in shelves and dressers. It was a T-shaped room, and I had two twin beds in one part of the T and the other part was my little reading/hobby area.

Built-ins are almost a must for those slanty spaces. And I love the craftsmanship of built-ins. A lot of Shaker houses had them--you can make the most of space that way.
