It’s probably fair to say that a lot of us use our loft as a space to hoard rubbish. We perhaps go up there a few times a year to retrieve something, or put something else amongst the mess, but apart from that, it is often left untouched. However, there are several ways that you can put your loft space to good use, and one of them, is converting it into a bedroom. This is perfect if you are in need of some extra space, but aren’t looking to relocate any time soon. Furthermore, if you’re looking to invest in making your house better, this is a great way to do so!
We’ve come up with a few reasons why you should convert your loft into a bedroom.
It costs a LOT less than moving house
It’s way cheaper than moving house. A lot less hassle too, as it still gives you the extra room you need, without the trouble of finding somewhere new, getting a new mortgage, re-decorating, settling in, and much more. Loft conversions certainly aren’t cheap, and it costs money to do a good job, but if you are struggling for space and would really benefit from having an extra bedroom for your family, we’d definitely recommend considering this option before looking to move house.
It’s a chance to make good use of the space you have
A lot of the time, we simply use our lofts as a space to hoard a load of old stuff, that quite often, we don’t even need. It’s full of things we put up there to keep out of the way, but generally never touch again once they’re up there. Converting it into a bedroom is a good chance to sort through everything and get rid of the things you don’t need, and just make the space for the bits you decide to keep. The space could go to much better use as a bedroom, and solve a lot of your troubles all whilst providing a tonne of new advantages.
A spare bedroom never hurt anybody
You don’t even have to be in desperate need of an extra room. It could simply be to make use of the space and turn it into something great. Spare bedrooms always come in handy, and allow you to invite guests over to stay without the worry of where you’re going to put them. If your loft doesn’t really have much of a purpose, it seems a shame to let the area go to waste. Why not convert it into a brand new bedroom?
It adds extra value to your home
Having a loft conversion costs money, there’s no denying. However, it is definitely a good investment, and means that when you do feel it’s time to relocate in the future and sell your house to move into somewhere new, you will be able to up the price. It means that your house now has an extra bedroom, which is very appealing to families and house hunters. As a result of this, you will receive more money than it was originally worth, when it is sold.
