BRIGHT IDEAS
Lighting plays a vital role in making your new room feel like a welcoming part of the existing house. Wall lights, lamps and spots will illuminate your space without infringing on the limited head height. In addition to traditional lighting, the wooden roof beams in this bedroom have been fitted with up-lighters that create a focal point of these characterful details as well as brightening the room.
BUILDING UP
In the majority of cases, you will not need planning permission to convert a loft. You can add up to 40mof space to a terraced property, and up to 50mto a detached or semi-detached house under Permitted Development. If you live in an attached property, you will need a party wall.
