Bathroom Loft Conversion Ideas

Most of us could do with extra space within our homes. This particularly applies to those of us with expanding families, where the choice is often; either you make the most of what you've got or up sticks and move somewhere else. Well we've got news for you.... moving is not always necessary as there is one great way of making the most of your current home. Bathrooms and bedrooms are the two rooms which many homeowners require more of. If you feel that you need an extra bathroom in your home then converting your loft, is in many cases, the only option you have. A bathroom loft conversion can be designed to fit a relatively small area which means you can still use some of your loft space for storage. If you are considering a bathroom loft conversion, we've got some great ideas with regards to decorating this area and would like to share them with you. In most cases planning permission is not required.

It's important to make the most of any natural light available. Adding skylights is a popular option. These windows enable sunlight to shine directly through the roof space and are also easy to open and close. As the structure of the roof itself will not have to be altered or extended this can be a fairly straightforward and cost effective job. Condensation can also be wiped off the glass surface with ease. Double glazing will also keep your bathroom loft conversion nice and warm as well as proving extremely energy efficient.

Remember that the sloping inward wall in a loft conversion will make your interior space appear smaller than it actually is. The best advice we can give you prior to choosing the decor for this type of area is to keep things simple. Over complicated, cluttered designs will only make the room look cramped and dingy. Subtle patterns and features are certainly the way forward. Feature walls comprising of tiles with an elegant pattern and soft neutral shades like beige and cream are highly recommended. Complementing this with bold shades and also ceiling spotlights, which once again, are highly effective yet very discreet is particularly effective. For example, this bathroom loft conversion which features Travertine mosaics and white walls is effective at really opening up the space with a fresh and welcoming design.

Adding a style element to your shower area which is different from the overall design can provide an interesting feature. This can introduce a real wow factor and can be achieved with a mosaic design or in this case a brick effect style. Walk in showers can really make the most of the available space and remove the need for shower doors. Sleek tiles with a glossy finish are easy to clean and dry in these situations.
