How exciting, you’ve got a newly converted loft to decorate! You may well have plenty of ideas floating around your head regarding how you want the space to look, in which case you can get started with the decorating. Alternatively, you might be feeling a little daunted and unsure, in which case you’ll be seeking out loft conversion ideas, pictures and inspiration from every place possible!
If the latter is where you’re currently at, then look no further! As loft conversion specialists, we’ve rounded up our favourite places to find loft conversion ideas and decorating inspiration to suit all styles and budgets.
Social Media
Nowadays, everyone and their dog is on social media. Our whole lives can be displayed in an instant, and if you’re looking for loft conversion ideas, then platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok are your best resources online.
Indeed, many people are now approaching these platforms as search engines rather than social media channels because the inspiration we require is at our fingertips in the highly specialised algorithms that these platforms employ. This means that once you’ve started to search for certain types of content, i.e. loft conversion ideas, the algorithms will naturally throw up more content within this genre that it thinks you will appreciate.
With this in mind, there are many interior design specific accounts available on Instagram, some of which will focus on house renovations or may have designed and decorated loft conversions.
These are a great resource for getting loft conversion ideas and a general feel for how you want the space to look, as well as if you want to source particular products. These accounts may show how a similar space to yours can look and the products purchased to make it happen.
Pinterest is a great place to act as an online mood board, as you can gather ideas together and ‘pin’ them to a specific board dedicated to your loft conversion as a whole, or specific parts, such as master suites, bathrooms, bedrooms or hobby spaces. Why not pin specific products as you find them so that you know which suppliers you want to go back to when you’re ready to make a purchase?
And TikTok is on the rise as a search engine style platform in its own right. It’s not just about silly dances and lip syncing to popular songs; it’s also about tips, tricks and style hacks which are perfect as loft conversion ideas, so long as you let the algorithm lead you down this path.
Of course, it’s always important to remember that social media often only shows the highlights of someone’s life or project; don’t be disheartened if your space doesn’t look exactly like the show homes online. With the help and advice of your loft conversion specialist, you can create something which suits the space that you have, and which will be just as dreamy and Insta-worthy!
Interiors Magazines
Interior design magazines are a great way to gather inspiration, and while away an hour or two with a cuppa in what will become the reading nook in your new loft conversion!
There are a variety of publications available to suit all ends of the renovation scale. Many feature real-life homes and stories from people who have converted their lofts, which will give you a realistic idea of what can be achieved in your newly converted loft. Others will feature inspiration from designers
.
Either way, remember that you don’t have to do it all yourself, either. Many of these real-life articles will advise the use of loft conversion specialists if the work is more complex than simple DIY.
Specialist Loft Conversion Companies
It’s always important to instruct a company that specialises in loft conversions to carry out the structural work on your home. But did you know that some loft conversion companies will see a project through right to the decorated end?
If you would like someone to carry out the work from start to finish, then speak to your loft conversion specialist to see if this is something that they offer. Often, loft conversion companies can do everything from adding rooflights through to tiling the bathroom, and may even be able to help with the interior design, which will just leave you to simply style the space with the likes of soft furnishings and furniture.
When instructing a loft conversion specialist, be sure to ask for pictures and testimonials in advance of the work commencing, and you may even be able to visit a previous project to see how it turned out. This will really help you to visualise your new attic space before work even commences.
