Loft Design

Choosing the loft design is the most important and exciting element of your loft conversion project and one in which your imagination can run wild.

As we pointed out on the home page the great thing about a loft conversion is that it presents the homeowner with a blank canvas.

That black hole above the landing can become your favourite room in the house – and it really does have the potential to become anything.

Getting your loft design right will not only mean a wonderful new room, it will also add many thousands of pounds onto the value of your home. So its worth doing right.

Loft conversions can be built fairly quickly and with the minimum of disruption so your new room can rapidly make the transition from paper to reality.

Once you have established that your roof space is suitable for conversion you will want to begin drawing out (mentally if not actually on paper!) your loft design. You may consider a:

Bedroom with or without en-suite

A Bathroom

Living room

Home office

Children's playroom or teenager's chill-out room

Modellers loft or hobby room

Simple storage solution

Most specialist loft conversion companies will be able to interpret your design ideas or you can employ an architect to do the drawings for you. It goes without saying of course but – make sure the design you opt for is absolutely to your specification – and don’t change your mind once the job is half done!

When you are considering your loft design ideas remember you are only looking for a concept. Don’t worry about the nuts and bolts – leave that to the professionals. And, if you are a professional, then you really don’t need me to tell you what to do.

If you do work with an architect or specialist loft conversion company make sure you are consulted every step of the way in the design process and don’t commit yourself to a design until you are absolutely certain that it ticks all your boxes.

Remember. Converting your loft is not like painting the kitchen – if you don’t like the end result you can’t just start again!
