Loft Playroom Design

Key to a successful playroom is safety, storage space, cleanliness and comfort.

Loft playroom designs need have secure doors, space saving storage cupboards built into the design, easy clean surfaces and areas designed for purpose such as hard and soft floorings.

Because loft stairs can be a little steeper than those in the rest of the house we would recommend solid doors and enclosed staircases. These not only add security, but they contain noise, light and help to maintain temperatures.

Fitted units and built in cupboards are the perfect solution for storage of toys, games, and soft and larger play items.

Playroom designs will tend to have smaller storage cupboards along the side walls - the knee wall. This is a partial height vertical wall placed where the roof meets the house wall. In loft conversions the storage space behind the knee wall can be used for storage and closing doors can be added.

To maximise storage space we can build-in floor to ceiling or even a walk in storage cupboards.

We can help design your ideal playroom with the right choice of materials, flooring and finish.

For easy cleaning Velux skylight window range includes a smooth, white, polyurethane window with heat reflective glass for temperature control. Velux also have blackout Siesta blinds which are ideal for daytime light control and sleep times and nursery naps.

Designs for Loft Bedrooms

An attic conversion can create an elegant, master bedroom sanctuary, a more modest spare rooms for guests, or a permanent solution to growing family's needs.

We can design in sound-proofing, blackout blinds and touch button convenience.

Your loft bedroom will be a new space you might want to consider designing in easy operating electric window controls, lighting controls and power points in convenient places.

For bedroom furniture, loft beds and bunk beds can free floor space - ideal for children and a great design feature.

Bathroom Designs

Not just an en suite is possible within your loft, but the entire loft can be converted into a luxury bathroom, tiled and with a luxurious sunken bath.

Design features include subtle indirect lighting, reflective surfaces, white Velux skylights. Turn your loft into a place to relax and unwind.

We can design and build your loft bathroom, however grand or modest.

Electric underfloor radiant heating will turn ceramic and stone tiles into warm floors, glass walls will distribute light and the contemporary bathroom accessories will add style.

Whether you your loft is need for: playroom, bedroom, study, living room or bathroom; or simply as a storage area; we can advise and provide services on all design issues - prices and costs, building and planning regulations, architectural floor plans, construction materials, methods and techniques.

If you already have loft design plans completed to the blue print stage we can professionally convert your attic to a beautiful loft with these.

The loft designs shown are featured in the Velux windows cataloue. Velux have the size and style of window for any roof. Velux skylights can even be coupled together for light and design effects.

Designing for daylight

Lofts designed for daytime need maximum natural light, designing for this alows us to spread windows over the roof or insert them into the loft walls.

Loft conversions usually requires the equivalent of 10% of the floors area as glazing. When designing for more light Velux recommend an increase to 20%.

Placing windows on either side of the roof and using several smaller windows, rather than fewer but larger ones will enhance the light distribution and reduce shadowed areas.
