A loft conversion can help you maximise your available space, provide a new view and more, as our rooflight specialists explain with these 4 design suggestions.
You can improve your home’s value by 30% with a loft conversion, but with any renovation project comes challenges. There are plenty of ways that expanding upstairs can improve your property, so read on for some of our best ideas for a loft conversion.
Use transparent materials
Attics and lofts can be a bit dark and challenging to light, but investing in rooflights will introduce natural light and widen the space. Given that a roof sees a lot of sunlight, this is a logical step to take; just a single loft window can help to transform your loft into an airier, brighter and altogether more pleasant room.
Use all the space on offer
Roofs often have sloped sides, making them potentially awkward to convert. It’s important to use all of the space that you have in a loft conversion: using slanted ceilings for positioning baths under or using tight spaces for storage can help you to make use of the whole of the room.
Frame a view
Windows aren’t just good for the light they let in, but the views. A loft conversion will potentially give you the best view in the house, so choose carefully where you’d like the windows to be. Placing your window on a side with a great view could potentially increase the value of the property.
Think outside the box
Loft conversions don’t have to just be used as spare bedrooms. Whether you need a home office, a dining area or a games room, an extra room in the loft can give you plenty more space to enjoy your home.
