Despite their awkward shape, lofts can be a great opportunity to get creative and add some extra living space to your home by making the most of the unused attic space available in your home.
Making the most out of alcoves through alcove shelves
Making the most of a loft means embracing the awkward spaces that come with them, and a great way to do this is through alcove shelves.
Alcoves are often fairly practical home features, and with a little imagination, you can make the most of them. They are also a perfect place to have open shelves where you can showcase your favourites books, artwork, and décor!
Low-hanging eaves are the best place for storage
Eaves space is perfect for loft storage, and the best way to incorporate this into your space is through built-in, made-for-purpose units, as they will ensure you are making the most out of your space.
Low-hanging eaves offer the perfect space to incorporate storage units such as ottomans, filing cabinets, or ornaments. Additionally, toilets and bathtubs can be strategically positioned in low-lying sections to make space for the washbasin and shower beneath areas with higher ceilings.
Furniture placement
It can be tricky to make the most out of awkward spaces, which is why you must be strategic in your selection of the furnishings for your loft when designing the layout of the room.
Create a distinctive dressing room by making the most out of awkward spaces by incorporating built-in storage. Including a unique fitted wardrobe is a great way to keep all your favourite clothes and make the most of the natural light lofts offer.
Custom-made furniture, such as wardrobes and storage units, will fit around the existing features of your loft rather than taking up a lot of room and using up free space. This will help you make the most of your space while giving you practical and beautiful pieces that tie your space together harmoniously.
Play with levels
Your loft area can benefit from adding some creative aspects by playing with levels and heights.
A mezzanine floor is an ideal way to create different levels for your loft while also altering how space is perceived. Additionally, you get complete creative freedom over how you utilise this area!
This might be a fun way to add a playroom if you have children, or you can choose a distinctive working from home office instead!
