Turning Your Loft into a Home Office

If you work from home, having a dedicated office space makes it easier to focus on tasks and avoid disruption. Converting your loft is a great opportunity to create a home office space.

A home office loft conversion not only provides the private space you need to work in peace, but it also helps to increase your house value and maximise energy efficiency. Plus, if you currently commute to a shared office space because you can’t work from home, imagine the savings on travel costs if you have your own office!

To help you make this dream a reality, we’ve created a step-by-step guide to turning your loft into a home office.

Step 1: Assess loft suitability.

It’s important to check if your loft is suitable for conversion and get an idea of the costs involved before committing to the works. Your loft must be converted in line with building regulations and there can be complications or extra costs if there’s not enough head height, for example. View further guidance on this in our blog, ‘Can my loft be converted?’.

Speak to a loft conversion company such as Crown Development Services to get a quote and ensure an office loft conversion is feasible.

Step 2: Visualise the space.

Once you have agreed on a quote, you can start to visualise the space and plan out exactly what you want to use it for. You have already established that the priority is the loft office, but is there space for more? For instance, you might want to add a bathroom, create a bespoke storage area, or make the space dual-purpose (a bedroom and an office).

Make sure to tell your loft conversion company about your final plan for the space so that they can design it and purchase materials accordingly.

Step 3: Convert your loft.

It’s time to start your loft conversion! This usually takes place over 6-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project. The process includes scaffolding erection, electrics and plumbing work, flooring and staircase installation, insulation and plastering.

After all the building work is done, your loft conversion office will be almost ready to use!

Step 4: Decorate and furnish.

You can now decorate your new loft office space however you like. Whether you want to save some money by painting the room yourself and using furniture you already have, or you’d prefer to hire a professional decorator and get some new furniture, there are endless options for how to make the space your own.

At Crown Development Services, we like to keep in touch with our customers and make sure they are enjoying their loft conversion, so if we have been a part of your project, we may come and take some photos once you’re finished decorating.
