Loft space design ideas
Make the most of the architectural features
One of the most desirable things about an attic conversion is how you can make the most of the exposed architectural features. From quirky windows to chimney breasts to wooden beams, these features give a room character. Don’t try and hide them, show them off!
Custom made storage
The lack of storage is a perennial problem, but in a loft conversion, you can make the sometimes awkward space work for you. Put cupboards into the eaves or have them custom made so they fit with the sloping ceiling, or alternatively, you can have a built in wardrobe put in.
Reading nook
There is no end of reading nook inspiration on Pinterest and Instagram to help you get inspired! While every reading nook is different and should reflect the personality of its user, there are some fundamentals that make up a basic reading nook. Number one is somewhere comfortable to sit, two is a warm cosy blanket and three is a good source of light – whether that’s a window, a lamp or both.
Home office
If you are using your loft conversion for a home office, you need to make sure the space fits your work style. Make sure you have plenty of daylight coming in and keep it as clutter free as possible – having good storage and a comfortable office chair are also essential. A home office needs to be away from the rest of the home, so you are not distracted by diversions such as TV and the washing. If you have a lot of electronic equipment in your room, make sure it can be kept cool.
Colours and wallpaper
When it comes to colours, whites, creams and off-whites seem to be the most popular colours. Skylights, which are common in loft conversions, let in plenty of light and keeping your colour scheme natural enhances space and makes the room look light and airy.
Loft conversion bedroom decorating ideas
A bedroom is one of the most common types of loft conversion function.

If you would like to add wallpaper to your attic conversion, choose just one feature wall to showcase the design. If you have a small space, then keep the pattern small and the colours light. Many people use wallpaper to highlight a chimney breast or alcove.
Your London loft conversion is a brand new room so you can be as creative with its design as you like. Unlike other rooms in your house where you’re perhaps dictated to by what’s already there, your loft conversion provides you with a blank canvas and, working with Simply Loft, you can even have certain elements agreed at the design stage and built in by our team. So, if you want some creative storage solutions that double as a design feature, or perhaps glass steps on your staircase, you can have it.
Of course, sometimes there just seems like too much choice out there and it can be overwhelming, which is when it’s a good idea to get some much-needed inspiration. We’ve put together a Pinterest board devoted to loft conversion décor ideas where we’ve added some of our favourite Simply Loft projects as well as some of our favourite loft conversion ideas from around the web.

So what are some of our favourite ideas? Here’s our top ten.
1. Use the dead space in the eaves to create a reading nook with built-in seating and shelves.
2. Keep the brickwork on your chimneybreast un-plastered for a chic, industrial look.
3. Using the sloping ceiling to hang a hammock – perfect for a teen’s bedroom.
4. Glass floor on your staircase to create light in what could be a dull area.
5. Using built-in shelving as a room divider to separate a bedroom and en suite.
6. Get hotel style with an elegant slipper bath inside a bedroom.
7. Keep it light and bright. White walls with splashes of colour keep things light and airy.
8. Use the eaves as a creative space to place a wet room.
9. Keep floors neutral. Natural-looking laminate or pale carpets create a sense of space.
10. Feature walls draw the eye, whether it’s a wall of exposed brick or a stunning wallpaper.
