The Storage Dilemma

Residing in London, a busy city life often comes at the cost of having minimal space. Enough storage can be difficult if you have a growing family that is amassing more stuff or an obsessive collector. There are only so many overcrowded cupboards and under-bed boxes that will fit your needs, those pesky extra sheets. But the Loft Conversion opens up the scope for you to address the issue efficiently.

Why Consider a Loft Conversion for Storage?

Maximising Unused Space

Lofts are often wasted spaces, a dumping ground for old bits and bobs that gather dust in boxes. Turning this area into a well-organised place for storing your stuff is another way of utilising every square inch of the house. Make your messy loft into a well-organised storage paradise with each thing in its place.

Customised Solutions

One of the great advantages of using a loft for storage is that almost everyone can change it to fit their specific needs. Deluxe Lofts creates tailored interior storage space that marries style with utility. There are tons to choose from, like built-in wardrobes and eaves storage.

Innovative Storage Solutions

Eaves Storage

Loft storage using eaves spaces is one of the most popular methods of utilising loft space. This sort of storage is intended to provide allowance under the eaves of your roof and usually ends up as drawers or racks. These items are beautiful as they can be put away into a practically nonexistent pull-down cover or entryway.

An example is our recent work for the Taylor family, who needed to strip their loft and prepare it specifically as a storage area. Part of providing this was reimagining their eaves storage to allow room for winter jumpers, Christmas decorations, and a secret bookcase behind which they store all the novels.

Built-In Wardrobes

Another great storage solution for loft conversions is built-in wardrobes. There, you get the wardrobes already embedded in the loft design, which could save many of your precious surface areas on the floor and help keep the living area clutter-free. You can even get these wardrobes made to measure so they fit all that you want them (e.g., hanging rails, shelves, and drawers) for what suits your storage needs.

Multi-Functional Furniture

The utility of your loft conversion will be further enhanced if you incorporate multi-functional furniture. Consider ottomans that can store things or beds with drawers. This feature is particularly helpful in small loft spaces since every inch goes a long way.

Recent Case Study: The Johnsons' Loft Transformation

The Johnson family gave us a special requirement for their loft conversion: it should only be used as storage space. As their family grew and they got more involved in the outdoors, they wanted a place to keep some of that clutter contained

In the end, we covered all bases with eaves storage for their camping gear, built-in wardrobes to house off-season clothes, and a run of shelving units for toys and books. The outcome was an impressively organised loft, which also freed up space in the rest of their home so that it could feel more airy and bright.

Benefits of a Storage-Focused Loft Conversion

Declutter Your Home

A well-organised loft can greatly reduce the mess in your living spaces. You can reduce the mess and clutter by moving any seldom used items to your loft, giving you a more spacious, airy feel.

Increase Property Value

Another way to improve the market value of your home is to use functional storage. Many future buyers search for houses with storage space, and a well-designed loft conversion can increase the value of your property on the market.

Enhance Your Lifestyle

A place for external storage will help you improve your day-to-day experience, allowing you to keep it all the way home. Instead of rifling through messy cabinets and trying to squeeze utensils into overfilled drawers, everything is neatly arranged and easy to find in your loft.

Conclusion

Converting the loft only into a storage unit may not be one of those things you think about first, but it is an effective way to ensure that your home can accommodate excess items that are suitable in lofts most of the time. Our new blog post shares that at Deluxe Lofts, we are experts in providing bespoke storage solutions to help you maximise your loft conversion space.
