Brief: Rear dormer loft conversion for a semi-detached home in Orpington Kent, creating one bedroom and a new staircase.
Our clients in Porthallow Close, Kent got in touch with our team at Simply Loft. They were considering a loft conversion for their semi-detached house to create a room to be used as a home office and a separate relaxation space. During the free consultation at our client’s home, our experienced surveyors determined that a rear dormer loft conversion would be the ideal loft conversion style for their home. Our team at Simply Loft were delighted to design and build this loft conversion for our clients in Orpington.
A rear dormer loft conversion offers numerous benefits for homeowners looking to maximise their living space. By extending the roofline at the rear of the property, this type of conversion provides additional headroom and floor space, creating a spacious and functional room. From an increase in property value to the convenience of adding an extra bedroom, office, or leisure area, a rear dormer loft conversion offers versatility and flexibility in home design. With natural light streaming in through the new windows and the potential to customise the layout to suit specific needs, this dormer conversion can truly transform a house into a more comfortable and valuable living space.
This light and airy loft space has been designed with a home office set up in mind. Our clients have chosen to create an eye-catching feature of the built-in wardrobe which spans the length of the room by painting it a lovely blue colour. A built-in wardrobe is a fantastic storage solution for a loft conversion, not only does it add valuable storage space, but it looks great too. The built-in wardrobe contrasts with the rest of the room which has been decorated with subtle white walls and soft grey carpets.
Our architects have made the most of this space by incorporating double-glazed doors which open out to a Juliet balcony. A Juliet balcony is a popular choice for our loft conversion clients as it not only adds a lovely visual feature to the room but allows for maximum light and air into the space giving it an indoor/outdoor feel. Our clients have set up a productive workstation in their new home office with the choice of a blue chair to match the feature colours in the room.
The grey soft pile carpet continues out into the landing space to create a seamless transition between the different areas of the loft space.
Our builders have created a lovely new staircase with subtle white-painted wooden bannisters and handrails. The carpet continues down the stairs for a lovely, homely feel. A Velux window in the stairwell brings in light to the stair space, making it feel more open and spacious. Our clients have decorated the stair space with charming wooden Indian-inspired ornaments which lead the way to the second room in the loft conversion. This space has been designed as a relaxation area. It features a large velux window which brings in lots of natural light and fresh air into the room. Our clients have positioned a simple slingback chair facing the window which is the perfect place to meditate and watch the clouds go by.
Using your unused loft area to create a fantastic bedroom or home office is a fantastic way to add both space and value to your home.
