Loft conversions are a truly stand-out feature, and the fact that they aren’t very common makes them all the more attractive to buyers. Whether you’re planning on bumping up the value of your home this spring, or if you’re on the market for a new home, keep an eye out for a great loft space with the potential to utilise some of these ideas for a conversion of your own…
The split-level hideout
Since the loft is an additional space in the home rather than a primary space, you can make multiple uses out of the room to maximise its function. A split-level design helps to zone off open-plan rooms, so you can seamlessly implement two different styles or purposes to create a multi-functional living space. Whether it’s a quirky guest bedroom coupled with a hideout-style games room, or a cosy home cinema with an elevated bar for ultimate relaxation, you can create a haven of calm and fun, away from a busy family home.
The dressing room
There’s no better space in the home for a bespoke dressing room than the loft. With its wide floor space, sloping ceiling and potential for a skylight, you can create stylish yet functional built-in storage solutions for all your clothes and accessories. Other than just combating the limitations of narrow corners, bespoke wardrobes and shelves can transform any loft space into a clutter free den – ideal for storing, displaying, and dressing in all your fashionable favourites!
The secret library
The problem with books is that they are too easy to accumulate and too hard to let go of! If you love reading but just can’t stand the sight of books spilling from every shelf and drawer, a loft library could be just what your home needs. This conversion can be simple or dramatic – from a cosy reading nook to a bustling study spot – the scope for design is boundless when it comes to libraries.
The dreamy guest room
Your home could treat its guests to something extra special with a little B&B style space in the loft! Channel into the inherent rustic style of the exposed beams and create a characterful bedroom with quaint, farmhouse-style furniture, fluffy rugs, and a neutral colour scheme to brighten things up.
The ultimate chill-out zone
Even if you do not have a specific purpose in mind for a loft conversion, you can never really put a price on an extra living space that is designed with privacy and relaxation in mind. Start with blankets, beanbags, and sofas, and from there you can decide what else is missing for the perfect cosy hideout.
The ergonomic office
For better health and well-being at work, the home office should feel separate from the rest of the house so that the balance between work and home isn’t being disturbed. Whether it’s a creative space to flex your skills, or a private office to get stuck into your 9-5 without distractions, prospective buyers will be blown away by a workstation in the loft, as distinctive and appointed rooms for working have never been more popular.
