A loft conversion is a great way of adding more space to your home, but for those who have many belongings already stored in their loft, it can be difficult to let go of the storage space. This does not need to be the case, as there are many creative storage options that you can have in your loft that will keep your possessions safe and out of sight! Whilst you cannot retain all the storage space you previously had in your loft; you will be surprised with how much storage you can keep…
In your new loft space, you will have sections which have a low head height due to the eaves of your loft. In many loft conversions, our designers have used this space to fit cupboards leading into the eaves, which can be used to store many different items. This is a smart, compact way of having large amounts of storage space out of view, without using up any valuable loft space for main furniture. The storage from the outside can appear as several cupboard doors, or you can have one small cupboard door which opens into the full length of the dead space under the eave.
A different way of having stylish storage in your loft space is through bespoke carpentry fittings. If you have a quirky loft space, with lots of sloped eaves or an unconventional shape, you can have furniture specifically made to fit your room. This allows you to fit wardrobes in tricky spaces or have shelving in a place that wouldn’t fit traditional shelves. It also helps to add character to your room, giving a highly personalised touch to your new space! Recently, we completed a gorgeous loft conversion on Otterburn Street that featured stunning custom wardrobes and drawers, that fit against the slope of the eave behind them. Creative storage solutions like this are just one reason why Simply Loft can help you get the most from your loft space!
Of course, if you are currently using your loft to store clothes that can’t fit in your wardrobe, we have the perfect option for you! At Simply Loft, each loft conversion we design is completely bespoke to our client’s needs and budget, and we have created walk-in wardrobes for several of our clients who needed more room for their clothes. A walk-in wardrobe can be designed by our architects in the initial plans for your loft conversion, being as large or as little as you prefer. If you want it to be slightly hidden, you can choose to have a discrete door through to your wardrobe, or you can have an open archway through to your wardrobe. It is completely up to your personal preferences!
