Modern Day Loft Conversions

Your loft conversion will change your life in a short time. You will be able to enjoy your home in a whole new way, which is why it is so essential to make sure that you do everything right when it comes to this project. It can be very stressful if you don’t know what steps to take, but it will be much easier for you once you have the correct information.

Many people think about a loft conversion these days because they want something different from their current home design. It’s not uncommon for people to want more space in their homes, and this is one way they can get it without having to move out of their current location or buying another property altogether.

But what are some of the modern trends in loft conversions? How can you ensure that your loft conversion is up to date with the latest styles? Here are some of the most popular trends we see in attic conversions today:

The first step in planning your loft conversion is deciding whether you want to create a bedroom, study or another type of room in your home. If you want to create an extra bedroom, you will need to decide on the size of this room – do you need enough space for two single beds or one double bed? Do you want a room that will accommodate a couple’s furniture?

You might also like to consider adding an en suite bathroom if there isn’t one already – this will add value to your home when it comes time to sell it.

Loft conversions with open floor plans

In previous decades, lofts were typically closed off from the rest of the house. They were often used as storage spaces, private offices, and sometimes even family rooms. This meant that they didn’t have any outlets or lighting fixtures installed, making them dark and uninviting.

Today, however, many homeowners choose to combine their lofts with open floor plans to use them as extra living areas. This also means that they will have access to all of their electrical outlets and lighting fixtures, making it easier for homeowners to use these rooms throughout the day.

Converting your loft space into a bedroom

One of the most popular trends for loft conversions is converting bedroom space into a bedroom or bedroom and en suite bathroom. This style of loft conversion allows you to add extra rooms to your property whilst keeping it looking modern and stylish.

This can be achieved by creating an open plan living space with a large kitchen area and dining table downstairs, which flows out onto your patio area or garden. You can then convert your loft space into bedrooms upstairs, which will give you more space and privacy within your home!

Open-plan living areas

The most popular type of loft conversion is an open plan living area, which includes kitchen, dining and living rooms as one ample space. This style of loft conversion is perfect for families who want to live together in one room.

The open-plan concept was first introduced by architects like Le Corbusier in the 1920s, but it wasn’t until the 1960s that it became popular with homeowners due to its functional nature. Today, architects have refined this style even further by creating more sophisticated layouts that incorporate stairs, balconies and glass walls to create an even more spacious feel.

Modern design

Loft conversions are an excellent opportunity to update your home with modern features. There’s no need to have an old-fashioned style loft conversion; instead, why not install contemporary lighting and decor? These will add character to your new space while making it feel more spacious and welcoming.

Lofts should be bright and airy.

If you want to make your loft feel like a room and not just another extension of your house, you must add some natural light into the equation. This can be done by installing skylights or windows into the roof space. The more natural light your loft has access to, the better it will look when it comes time to decorate it.

Use high-quality materials

Another way that you can ensure that your loft conversion looks spectacular is by using high-quality materials as part of your decorating scheme. This means using materials such as wood instead of painted walls or plastic laminate flooring instead of carpeting.

You should also consider using hardwood flooring in place of carpet or linoleum because these types of floors provide a much better look.

Andy and the team just finished a roof refurb/loft conversion with us and I would highly recommend them. Why? 1 - They are very clear on their costings, are flexible and transparent on changes along the way, if there is a cost decrease then they share this as well, 2 - They use the same tradespeople throughout the job, same plumber, electrician, joiner, roofers etc so there is continuity and you don't end up with different people not knowing what was done before, 3 - They are tidy. Having a knock through into your loft is very disruptive but they make sure that the households needs are considered, 4 - They do not disappear onto other jobs, you may have to wait until they finish the previous job but once they start on yours they commit, 5 - They do a great job, we are delighted with the end result and would highly recommend them. Great team, all nice people to have knocking around your house for a few months!!

I had a loft conversion in 2017 which developed roof spread due to poor design. Got in touch with Andy who arranged for a structural engineer to create a new design structure which Andy and his team completed. Amazing job, nothing too much trouble, always responds to calls and messages immediately, no extra costs at the end of the job, great team. Wouldn't go anywhere else for future building works.

Andy and his team took on the our loft conversion and they were great to work with. From the initial meeting with Andy he was able to share advice and experience and throughout the build he was very communicative and thoughtful. The team were on time, polite and really helpful. It is clear that they take pride in their work and as Andy says, "If you're happy, I'm happy" and he did go the extra mile. I'd happily recommend ACS Xtra space if you are considering a loft conversion or similar. Thanks Andy, Ben, Joe, Pete and Marshall!

ACS Xtra Space did a lovely job of our bedroom extension, taking our 4mx3m bedroom with low ceiling height and extending it to make a gorgeous 4m x 7m bedroom with vaulted ceiling. Lovely job, thank you.

We have worked alongside Andy and his team at ACS Xtra Space for the last three years, preparing the detailed drawings and planning submissions for his loft conversion projects. The team are experts when it comes to loft conversions, I highly recommend them.

Had a garage extension with room and bathroom added above it. Very professional and excellent work from andy and his team. I was nervous at the start of it all and andy always explained everything that was going on right from the start and that calmed the nerves. Very very pleased and happy with the outcome of it all. Great work! 👍

5 stars from us because we are very happy with the loft extension we got against the budget we had. It seems half our street has used Andy and team and there's a good reason that's happened. Andy brings his decades of experience to bear and has answers or advice for all the tricky niggles you find when retro-fitting an extension on old houses. We found we could always thrash out any concerns and explore any new ideas or options on the way and that was brilliant. Andy clearly has a good team behind him and there's professional planning booklets and payment schedules provided up front which is great. Then of course there's Pete and the core builders who were brilliant to have on site and did great work alongside Andy. Key for me is that any build is going to have challenges and with a host of sub-contractors working on the project you'll have some stressful days, but ACS and Andy were always in control and happy to address any issues.

Very happy with our new loft conversion. Andy and team did a great job, with good communication from start to finish. Any issues were promptly dealt with and we wouldn’t hesitate to use again for any future projects.

From the outset communication from Andy and Paul was great and they also provided a very clear breakdown of the costs before any work was undertaken. We had a loft conversion with a dormer, this included fitting a new combi boiler. Andy and his team provided everything needed for this project from architect plans to inspection sign off as we had requested. Pete the onsite builder did an amazing job of the building works and was a pleasure to deal with. We recommended ACS Xtra space to our neighbour and once they had seen our finished loft conversion they also used them. I could not praise this company more for the work they did , polite , friendly and great quality work.

Andy and his team built us a loft conversion and dormer including additional work I needed such as creating a new doorway in my house and building me a front door canopy and fitting a new boiler. He kept me informed all throughout the works and arranged everything from start to finish including skips, steels, plasterers and site clearance. Happy to recommend him.

Andy and his team are great from the architect plans to tidying up after themselves and everything in between. We had large loft conversion together with a new boiler. Andy and his team are good at keeping us in the loop throughout, have recommended him for another job for family as a result of his work.
