5 Ways to Make Better Use of Your Attic

In many homes, the attic is used for storage, but it can also be a wonderful additional space for your family. All you need to do is clear out the attic and add a few pieces of furniture or divisions to create a usable space.

Here are a few ways to use your attic:

1. Extra Bedroom

Depending on the size of the attic, you may add more than one bedroom to your home. This can be quite useful if you have growing children, frequent guests, or wish to hire out a room. It often takes little to make the space liveable once you’ve cleared the attic out. If you wish to go a little further, the space may be converted into a full living suite, with a bathroom and kitchen.

2. Art Studio

With the addition of high-powered lights or a skylight, your attic may be converted into a beautiful art or craft studio where you can create in peace. Most attics have plenty of space for your creations, so you can create and store your artwork there.

3. Home Office

The attic is the perfect space to set up your home office, as it’s away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. You may wish to add another window to make the space brighter but often the attic gives you the isolation necessary to stay focused on your work.

4. Teen Hangout

If you have teens, they may find the usual spaces in your home boring or not as private as they’d like. Why not build them the perfect place to spend time with their friends? The addition of some squashy furniture, cool posters and a mini-fridge for drinks is really all you need to build the perfect teen space. Best of all, you’ll keep them close to you so you always know where they are and who they’re with.

5. Playroom

For children, there’s nothing more magical than having a space dedicated for themselves. Your attic can take that ruckus from playtime away from the living areas of the home and give children a memorable childhood. Create a unique play space for them with a swing, child-friendly furniture, and areas to play their games. They’ll love it, and you’ll enjoy the peace and quiet.

If you want to convert your attic into a usable space for your home, you’ll need to start by clearing it out. Any wiring should be done before you close in open spaces and decorate. With a skilled worker or a few DIY skills, you can rapidly convert the space into something extra special. Do you need help to clear out your attic to convert it into something amazing?
