Design ideas for loft bedroom
Comments (3)You have big windows so I understand the instinct that dark colours will look good- However I think that in a space with lower ceilings you have to keep it light and paint the walls and ceiling the same colour so that the height of the ceiling is less noticeable. I also would be trying to find a lower bed than the previous owners. I suspect that part of the desire to have a deep colour is to warm up a space that currently feels like it has hard lines and with nothing in the room it probably feels a little clinical. You can however make a room feel softer and more cozy with pale colours by layering natural materials. So you could get blinds, natural wall coverings, a sumptuous rug, and linen soft furnishings for headboard and bedding....See MoreFitted wardrobe for loft space

Comments (13)Hello Jane. I cannot promise clever ideas but here goes. A loft conversion costs serious money as dos an extension. You have only just bought the house so I would first be inclined give yourselves time to grow into the space and learn how you all use it as a family. I would see if I could work with what I already have with a view to possibly doing major works at a later date. You have already explored the option of knocking through from the kitchen into the lounge. This is a good place to start. Cost is dependant on whether or not this is a supporting wall. I notice you have a small inner hall and under stair cupboard. Could you open up these two areas to enlarge the kitchen further? It would increase its size by a third. If you block off access into the kitchen from the hall you would create additional wall space for cupboards. For this to work you would need to move the existing door opening from the hall into the lounge further along the wall towards the front door. Locate the lounge to the front of the house and dining to the rear. It is a long room. You could keep it open plan or divide it with double doors set in a wall. Pocket or bifold would prevent them eating into the space. Or just have two narrow walls either side to visually divide the space. Not an arch, this costs more and you would lose the height which visually shrinks the space. Going back to the kitchen. You could block the rear door which would again allow for more wall space for cupboards. With all this wall space you could build a u shaped kitchen facing the dining area. You may have room for an island or peninsula. Double doors from the dining would take you out into the garden. Are you planning to demolish the outside stores? If you do you could install a window in the outside wall into your kitchen. Do you currently need the third bedroom? If you don’t and you lack space in the bedrooms for wardrobes then could you turn this bedroom into a walk in wardrobe? All these suggestions are relatively low cost in comparison to extensions and loft conversions. They buy you time because as sure as eggs are eggs you will change your mind....See MoreLoft Conversion & another design opportunity - :-)
Comments (13)Eaves storage a plenty! Imagine hatches next to the nightstands and in the bathroom. I removed the closed off dressing area as it only chops up the grand loft feeling. Going clockwise starting top left: Window seat with storage underneath, tall wardrobe, little desk, tall wardrobe (for towels and such). Bathroom door moved over a bit, could be pocket, but a regular would be fine as well. Vanity about a meter wide, toilet, shower, eaves storage, freestanding bath. Then more tall wardrobes (either with or without the corner bit), slightly deeper wall between stairs and bed, not much else....See Moretemple274
