Alternative Uses For Your Attic Space

If you are one of the many homeowners that have unused attic space, it may finally be time to do something about it. Making use of an attic that is currently empty, or full of old and unwanted belongings along with many cobwebs, is not only a way to increase the size of your home at low cost, but it can also be a way to add some excitement, not to mention value, to your property.

Sometimes people feel reluctant to convert roof space because it can be a strange shape or have a sloping ceiling, and whilst it is true that you might not want an attic space to act as a master bedroom, these factors should not put you off converting you attic into a versatile living space. Once you have found a reputable company to install the necessary insulation and loft flooring in Essex, an attic space will be as inhabitable as any other room. Depending on who will be using the space and how often, you may want to consider installing some stairs up to the attic. Or, you might prefer to opt for a stylish loft ladder, which could be purchased from the same Essex loft flooring company if you want it to match the attic.

Even a small attic space would make a great guest bedroom and this would almost certainly also increase the value of your property, making your conversion a cost-effective as well as practical option. An attic can also make for a great office or library, quietly out of the way of the rest of the house. If you choose this option you could consider installing cozy wood panelling and lots of shelving to make a really cozy little retreat in which to work or immerse yourself in your favourite books. Other options might include a movie theatre for the whole family to enjoy or a games room for the kids.

Ultimately, if you really want to convert your attic, there is nothing standing in your way and no room you cannot create.
