Have you run out of room around the home?
It's time to look up and think about the attic. Here are 3 space-creating ideas to help your attic look uncluttered and more open.
Turn your attic into a studio so you can get on with your hobbies without disrupting the rest of the house. Installing large Velux windows means the space will be flooded with light. Choose storage to suit the room – a low, wall-hung unit will it perfectly under the eaves.

Loft rooms can sometimes be long and narrow but you can use colour to alter the perception of the proportions. Painting a feature wall at one end in a warm red will shorten the room so it feels less tunnel-like. Keep the other walls pale and neutral.

That untapped space in your loft is the perfect place for a quiet home office. Keep it light and open with white walls and a whitewashed-effect floor. Modular storage systems will fit neatly into the space.
