WHAT COLOURS AND THEMES WOULD YOU LIKE FOR YOUR LOFT CONVERSION?

We are so excited you're interested in our Harwich loft conversion services! We know that when it comes to the design of your new space, you want something that's going to feel comfortable and cohesive. That's why we work with you from start to finish, helping you choose everything from the paint colours and flooring to the lighting and accessories. There are so many options for loft conversions, and one of the best ways to decide is by taking a look at what's already out there. Let's say you're considering doing a loft conversion in your home. You've got an idea of what kind of space you'd like to create, but now it's time to get into the nitty-gritty: colour schemes and themes. Here are some ideas for where to start looking:

1) Take a walk around your neighbourhood and find some lofts that have been converted recently. How do they look? Are they clean and modern? Do they have any extra features like built-in bookshelves or an outdoor deck?

2) Browse through magazines—not just home improvement ones! Look at interior design magazines for inspiration on how people have decorated their lofts.

3) Check out Pinterest. It can be overwhelming at first, but try searching for "loft decorating ideas" or "loft renovation ideas" and see what pops up!

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLACE THE WINDOWS?

When you're converting a Harwich loft, where would you like to place the windows? The best places to put your windows are: -High up on the wall so that they don't block out light from other rooms. -At least 6 feet away from any fireplaces or water heaters. -In an area of the room where there's good airflow (so not right next to a radiator).

TYPES OF LOFT CONVERSION AVAILABLE

Roof light/Velux conversions are the most common type of loft conversion. They involve creating a large window in the roof space that can be opened and is often glazed with double-glazing to ensure energy efficiency. This type of conversion also includes adding a staircase to the loft and installing a new floor in the attic space. The attic floor is usually constructed from concrete or timber boards, but it can also be finished using wooden floorboards or tiles. Dormer conversions are another popular option for converting your Harwich loft into a living space. They involve building an extension on top of the existing roof line that extends beyond the existing wall line at one end while remaining flush with the rest at the other end. This creates a triangular or rectangular plan shape which means you get more room for storage than with other types of loft conversion as well as more headroom upstairs than would otherwise be possible. Hip-to-gable conversions require removing part of your existing roof structure before rebuilding it as an extension onto your house instead.

MANY LOFT CONVERSIONS MAY REQUIRE STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING

Structural strengthening means adding extra supports to the Harwich building's structure to make sure it can support the extra weight that will be added when converting a loft into a living space. It is also important because if this is not done correctly then the building could collapse during or after the conversion process.

THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME MAY INCREASE WITH A LOFT CONVERSION

. If you're thinking about converting your Harwich loft, or have already begun the process, here are some reasons why this could increase the value of your home: -You'll gain extra space. Loft conversions often result in an increase in living space, which can be attractive to prospective buyers who want more space for themselves or their families. -You'll get a new kitchen. Kitchen renovations are one of the most popular ways to update a kitchen and improve its value. With a loft conversion, you get both a larger space and brand-new appliances without having to pay for them separately! -You'll gain an impressive bathroom. When you convert your loft into an en suite bedroom, you can put that extra space to good use by adding an impressive bathroom with tons of storage and counter space—something that will make prospective buyers sit up and take notice!
