Decorating a loft conversion

Loft rooms are unconventional, but this is part of their appeal. You need to be creative when it comes to using the space.

Loft space design ideas

Take advantage of architectural features. The exposed architectural details are one of the best things about attic conversions. These features, from quirky windows to chimney breasts and wooden beams give a space character. Show them off, don’t hide them!

Custom-made storage

Lack of storage space is a common problem. With a loft conversion you can take advantage of the awkward space. You can either install cupboards in the eaves, or custom-make them to fit the sloped ceiling.

Reading nook

Pinterest and Instagram are full of inspiration for reading nooks. Every reading nook should be unique and reflect the personality of the user. However, there are some basic elements that define a reading nook. The first thing you need is a comfortable place to sit. Next, you’ll want a cosy blanket. And finally, there should be a source of good light, whether it is from a lamp, a window or both.

Home Office

You should make sure that the loft conversion you use as a home office is suitable for your working style. Keep it clean and clutter-free. Good storage and an office chair that is comfortable are also important. The home office should be separate from the rest to avoid distractions such as the TV or the washing machine.

Colours and Wallpaper

Whites, creams, and off-whites are the most popular colours. The skylights that are commonly found in loft conversions let in a lot of light. Keeping your colour scheme neutral enhances the space and makes it look airy.
