Thinking of converting your loft but not sure how?


If you're looking to convert your loft and add space to your property, whether this provides a storage solution or an extra bedroom, you can bring a new lease of life to your home. Not only does this expand the potential of your property but also could enhance its value and resale opportunities. 

Once you've found and hired a team of professionals, it's time to consider a conversion that: 
 - factors in the shape of your roof. 
 - follows any permitted development rights
 - suitable for your budget and vision

There are 3 main types of loft conversions and in this guide, we will outline what each one is and how it could serve your property.

1.Hip to Gable Conversion 
This is one that's best suited to end of terrace or detached homes. It begins with constructing a vertical wall by straightening the slanted end of your roof. With this change, you'll instantly see a drastic improvement to your interior living space. Hip to Gable is one of the most popular choices. The main benefits are that not only is it aesthetically pleasing but also maximises the space by combining it with a rear dormer loft. 

2. Dormer Loft Conversion
The Dormer conversion is suitable for almost all house styles. This extension is a typical 'box shaped structure' by using the existing slope in the roof and is developing this vertically. Whilst the above is popular, this is the most basic type of loft conversion because it requires no real structural change. Windows can even be added with no dramatic changes necessary. Dormer Loft conversions add extra head space in a cramped environment and a lot of internal space. Consider this the way to go for an extra bed room! 

3. Mansard Loft Conversion
The final conversion is the Mansard loft. This requires you to raise the 'party wall' (the wall you share with neighbours in an attached - semi-attached property) This is uniquely joined through sloping the wall gently to the roof. It is argued that this type of extension is best suited for terraced houses although it can be opted into for any type of property. This is a perfect conversion to not only blend in with the existing aesthetic of your home but also allows the entry of more natural light.

Living rooms are often the centrepiece of a home, but when space is limited, it can be challenging to design a room that is both functional and stylish. However, with a little creativity and strategic planning, it is possible to create a beautiful living room in even the smallest of spaces.  One of the most important things to consider when designing a small living room is to choose furniture that is both functional and versatile. A sofa that doubles as a bed, for example, can provide extra sleeping space for guests without taking up too much room. Similarly, a coffee table that can be transformed into a dining table can serve multiple purposes and save valuable floor space. New Paragraph
