Clever loft conversion layouts

Designing a layout that makes the most of the space in your loft is key to ensuring that the money you spend transforming all that lovely room within your roof is well worth it. The best loft conversions take into account not only the size of the space you are working with, but also head height, window placement and what each area of the conversion will be used for.

Lofts can be tricky spaces to work with — they’re rarely nice and square and often have height restrictions, nooks and crannies. Plus there’s also the fact that space for a staircase from below has to be accommodated. Combine these factors and it’s easy to see why such layouts need careful consideration in order to ensure that your budget isn’t wasted.
