1. 1

    A garret is a small room at the very top of a house, just under the roof. The word carries discomfort with it: low ceiling, heat in summer, cold in winter, not a place you would choose if you had money. In older stories, poor writers and painters live in a garret. Today most people say attic, and an attic can be a nice converted room. Garret has not quite kept up; it still smells of the nineteenth century. You would sound a little if you used it for a modern top-floor bedroom — unless you meant, kindly or , that the room is cramped and cheap.
