Hello World! Welcome Friends! Are you interested in renovating your loft space but are not sure where to begin? If yes, then you’re in the right place. There are actually quite a number of ways that you can achieve this. In fact, several households across the country have realized the importance of renovating the loft space into something useful rather than leaving it as just another wasted space. Below are some of the most common ways you can renovate your loft space into somewhere you’ll love to spend time in. Please read on.
A Storage Area
Are you having lots of junk piled up in your home or business and are wondering where to store them? If yes, then you could have the solution right within your home or business building – the loft. Boarding can be the best and cheapest way to renovate your loft for storage. You may have to look for storage boxes to put your belongings in for convenience. Ensure to also have good lighting in the loft, you can use a switch with an ‘on’ indicator and place it outside the loft so you’ll know when you’ve left the loft with the lights on. You can also use these ideas to effectively renovate your loft space for storage.
A Bedroom
Perhaps you’ve had guests coming over once in a while. And if you don’t have a spare bedroom in your home, it can be hard sometimes to let them sleep on the couch in the living room. But why not renovate your loft space into spare bedroom? This will be a good space for your guests to rest in when they visit. With a spare bedroom like that, both you and the guest can enjoy some privacy when you need and still have a good time together. You can add decorations of your choice whether you want to add some embroidery or flowers.
A Bathroom
After a long, busy day at work or attending to other important activities, you’ll need a relaxing hot tub where you can relax and lay all the stress of the day. And climbing the stairs to have a bath can make it feel like you’re entering another world. But you’ll need to consider renovating the loft with luxury in mind to achieve this. You can start with having new plumbing fixtures such as hot and cold water supplies (flexible plastic plumbing can be more convenient and easy to install). Next, have a shower placed where there’s full headroom and maybe tuck a bath under the eaves. You can also add relevant lighting and wall-to-wall mirrors for a cozy bathroom in the space to provide an aesthetic appeal.
Sitting Space
You might need a quiet spot most of the time to relax and chat with your friends and family when you invite them over, especially when you have children around. The loft can make a good spot if it has enough space. You can renovate the space for a relaxed sitting room by adding a number of comfortable seating and floor cushions. You may also consider decking with soft muted colors depending on your taste to make it more attractive and relaxing.
Home Office
Your loft can make a good home office where you can keep your daily paperwork safely and in great order. You can always retreat to your loft whenever you need to have some alone time to work on your project. It can also be a perfect place for a home office if you work from home or want to run a business from home. For an awesome experience, you can consider furnishing the office with ergonomic office furniture. You can also include soft seats which you can use to relax when taking a break from your projects. Sometimes you may want to spend more time working in the office without being interrupted, and having a tea/coffee station in the office can come in handy. Sounds great, right?
Study Room
If you have young children and teens, the loft can make a nice study room where they can do their homework and study. The space is quiet and free from such distractions like the TV and people moving around from time to time. You’ll need to add desks and chairs depending on your children’s needs. You should also include some shelves where they’ll keep their books and a cupboard(s) to keep stationery supplies. Perhaps you can ask them how they’d want their new study room to be decorated, but make sure it won’t become a source of distraction when they’re studying. Also, ensure to have lights bright enough for efficient studying. These can be a simple DIY task that you can dedicate one or two weekends to complete.
Chill Out Zone
Looking for a place to chill out from time to time, either alone or when you invite your best friend over? Well, the loft can be exactly what you need. It’s usually a quiet space which you can renovate for a perfect chill-out zone. But it won’t be a good place to chill out if it’s just an almost empty space, right? You can choose to add non-slip soft rugs and yoga mats with some beautiful potted plants to add a taste of an ultimate chilling zone. Perhaps having a water feature in the zone will be a great idea as well. You could even get in touch with a Custom Nets Designer to have a hammock or decorative net made for your room. You can also add a bookshelf and add books on health (body, mind, and spiritual health) and you’ll have made yourself a perfect chill zone.
Conclusion
As a homeowner, you can renovate your loft into any of the ways explained above and enjoy the amazing benefits that come with it. However, before deciding on what you want to renovate your loft into, there are basic considerations that you’ll need to make. Most essential factors to consider include checking how much headroom you have and whether the joists are strong enough to add a floor and more weight.
You’ll need to check for proper ventilation in the space since most loft spaces are usually damp and condensed, which can be risky for your health or anything stored there. Some instances will require you to get planning permission before beginning the renovation. You should also efficiently insulate the loft to prevent heat from escaping through the roof. And, of course, you’ll need a loft ladder to access the loft.
Once you’ve complied with these considerations and have renovated your loft, you can enjoy spending time in it at your own pleasure. You can also refer to other relevant home improvement/commercial themed (building repairs/remodeling themed) blogs for more information. All the best!
