5 Amazing Loft Conversions for All Budgets

Loft conversions are a great way to gain some room in your house for whatever you need, be it a bathroom or an additional bedroom. But which is the right idea for you and the budget you have? Below, we will look at some conversions, some cheaper and some costlier than others, so you can get an idea of what to do with your new space.

Simple Loft Conversion

The cheapest conversion is leaving new space as one large space instead of dividing it up into several spaces. Dividing the space can make it feel cramped so just insulate and refurbish it, add the lights you need in there, and you are done. 

Depending on the loft’s height, you might also need to go with low-profile furniture so you do not bump your head when you wake up.

Bathroom Under the Lights

If you have enough space, you could add a bathroom to your converted loft. The bathroom could sit under a skylight or some windows, so you enjoy a view of nature and sunlight while you take a bath. Such a bathroom is roomy, private, and bathed in light, which increases its comfort factor.

Mezzanine Space

This is one of the more popular options out there as it creates a dramatic and unique look to a house. Doing it this way also brings more light into the loft, thereby increasing its usage.

Completing a project like this will take a professional, as there are so many things to consider. If you have a taller house, the project will go smoothly. If you need to remove the ceiling so that the roof space is exposed, call architectural designers to help 

Remember that you also need to call an expert if the height from your floor to ceiling is so low that you would need to raise the roof to have adequate space or the property is a semi-detached house or at the end of a terrace. If you’re unsure whether this may be the case for your home, you can simply book a consultation and have the experts come out to do an assessment. The CKA designers in Birmingham offer a much more personalised approach compared to other architectural firms, so if you want to get expert advice they are certainly worth considering. 

Part-Width Dormer Conversion

Part-width dormer conversions come into play when full-width ones are not practical. In some cases, the homeowner might be unable to obtain the necessary Planning Permission to complete such loft conversions or might not like larger conversions.

A part-width dormer gives you the necessary headspace you need while letting you see out of the whole of the window. This dormer style will retain the roof’s original shape while still allowing you to have the extra space and headroom.

Double-Sided Dormer

If you have enough space, you could have a symmetrical double-dormer loft or room. This type of conversion allows you to use the whole length and width of the roof so that you get even more space.

There are many different designs you could go with for your loft conversion. Just ensure the type of conversion you end up choosing is affordable enough for you and does not require major changes to your house.
