Loft Conversion Design SolutionsAn essential part of any loft conversion design is how the planner will incorporate storage. Although there are of course exceptions, most conversions will be on the small side with the height of the shorter side walls only likely to be about four feet. The central areas of the loft will allow greater flexibility but the lower side walls still offer plenty of scope for loft conversion design ideas. The lower side walls are absolutely ideal for installing built-in storage units the full length of the wall. Although there won’t be any great height to the units the triangular voids behind the new walls will allow plenty of storage space. And don’t forget higher up either as the eaves of the roof can also be boxed out and used for storage.
Even better – if you live near to a caravan park have a look around the show home and see how you can adapt the built-in units and furniture for use in your loft conversion design. Some lofts will have high cable end walls which will make the top storage units inaccessible but one solution I have seen is have a ‘rolling ladder’ in place to help ease of access. Not quite sure of that myself but there may be instances were it can be used. In place of fixed cupboard doors access to the lower storage units can be made easier by installing pull out boxes rather similar to the storage units in divan beds. Placed on casters they can be easily moved into the centre of the room to avoid having to bend and rummage in fixed position cupboards.
