North facing loft conversion - colour ideas
Comments (1)because you have alot of light I wouldn't worry about it feeling too cold. I would be thinking more about the sloping ceilings and where to stop. You might be better choosing a pale neutral colour and adding impact through pattern on accessories....See MoreLoft Conversions - interesting ideas?
Comments (3)It entirely depends on your roof height, most modern houses do not have the height for a loft conversion. Therefore you have to start there as there are building regs which dictate minimum height requirements. Thus before you go down the route of ideas, find out how high the pitch is, if you need to raise the roof, you're into big bucks!. Then you need to look at the layout of the floor beneath and decide where stairs can go, clearly you need to get into the roof space at the highest point, usually a gable end.

I would also look at upgrading the thermal performance of the roof since you will need to recover the roof anyway. You will need to add in insulation anyway but there are ways of doing it that is much more effective and there are some serious errors that are commonly made that you need to avoid - like cutting holes in the insulation to install inset downlights.
