A roof conversion is the perfect way to make a extra room for your home.
You will need to go down the right path and get it designed on paper first and get the all clear from your local council, getting all permits that may be needed before you start just putting a extra room in your roof..
Your interior roof could soon be transformed into a new master bedroom, complete with en-suite, a home office, maybe even a games room. There are so many different possibilities, choose the best for your family’s lifestyle and needs.
Don’t forget… to let your neighbours know, though. Give them the heads up so there is no awkwardness or issues before you start.
A blank canvas
Once you have decided how you want to utilise your loft space, the next step is to create that blank canvas. Where will the windows go? How will you access the space? Where will you position the lighting? You need to consider all of these things in order to get the most from your loft space.
Lost storage
When planning a interior roof conversion you need to think practically. Where will you house all those items you stored in your roof ? do you currently use your roof space for storing junk or quality items you just can not part with ? Well, for starters it might be a perfect excuse to de-clutter and get rid of anything you no longer need have a garage sale and get rid of your un needed stuff and maybe make a couple of bucks to put into your reno! But consider built in wardrobes and storage in your new loft space. There will be lots of room in the eaves so why not add some cupboard doors to keep everything neat and tidy?
If you are using this room as your bedroom consider sliding wardrobe doors. Sliding doors mean you can save room and not worry about your wardrobe doors impacting on the rest of your space.
Rising heat
Heat rises but you will also want to make sure that your loft space is fully insulated. That way you will help to keep it nice and toasty in winter and cooler in the hotter months. Also, how do you want your windows to open? Plan carefully where you want them to go.
On the way up
You will need to consider how your stairs will fit into your room. How will these be situated on your landing? Where will they enter your new room? You need to think about the flow from the first floor up.
There is a lot to consider when adding a interior roof conversion to your home. You want to make the most from the space, without impacting too much on the rest of your home. Create a room with a view in your house by moving on up.
This a great way to make use of a wasted bit of space, if your roof has a high pitch and plenty of room then go for it. If done properly with a great design and use of all the space it should put value on you home.
