6 Ideas For Creating An Office In Your Loft

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a huge increase in the demand for home offices. Working from home has become the norm for so many people, yet many still don’t have a suitable work environment at home that they enjoy working from.

Working from the dining room table or from your bed was all well and good as a temporary work around solution during the pandemic, but there comes a point where enough is enough and you need a space at home that motivates you to deliver your best work.

Maybe you don’t have the space? Perhaps you do but feel that space is better used as a bedroom or extra living space? So, now what?

The answer could be right in front of you. Or to be more specific, above you! Our loft conversion specialists are on hand to discuss all the possibilities your loft space could offer you.

Benefits of using your loft space for a home office

It provides you with increased living space, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice a room solely or partly used for work.
The loft being slightly set apart from the rest of the house makes for a quieter, more peaceful working environment.
Loft conversions often don’t require planning permission as you often would for an extension or conservatory.
Converting your loft will increase the value of your property.
Your energy efficiency is usually increased, saving you money on hefty energy bills.
If and when your office space is no longer required, it can easily be transformed in to living space to better suit your needs.

Making the most of your loft office

We’ve discussed the benefits of a loft conversion for office space, but how do you maximise your converted loft area to best suit your requirements?

Loft conversions come in all different shapes and sizes, so there isn’t one simple rule when it comes to how to get the most out of your office space. Knowing what type of loft is right for your home can be difficult, but here are a few ideas and tips on getting the most out of your converted loft office.

Office loft ideas and tips

Maximise the space

One of the best ways to save space or maximise the space you have available is to build into the natural nooks and crannies that most lofts possess.

A lot of homes have pitched roofs that creates ideal spaces under the eaves for storage that’ll help keep your desk free of clutter.

You’ll no doubt have some kind of alcove that could be used for a desk or office equipment, so use these areas to provide you with the maximum amount of space possible for other other uses.

Make it multi-purpose

Why stop at just an office? A lot of loft conversions will have the space to allow you to double up and use any spare space for a secondary purpose.

You may opt to use the extra space for an additional bedroom. There may be space for a sofa and TV that’ll make for a nice cosy extra living area. Maybe a playroom for the younger kids or a games room for the teens (and adults) to enjoy? The possibilities are endless…

Add roof windows

Lofts are notorious for being dark and dingey places within the house, but they needn’t be, and a Velux loft conversion can be a great way of bringing natural light into the room.

Natural light when working is said to improve your mood, health and wellbeing as it helps improve concentration and regulate your body clock. Velux windows in your roof are great way to brighten up the loft, whilst making the room aesthetically pleasing and more inviting at the same time.

Keep things slimline

If your loft conversion is on the smaller size, you may want to consider the furniture and equipment you’re kitting-out your loft office with to maximise your space. That said, you may want to consider this even if you have a larger attic as this will allow space for other things.

Narrow, slim desks are readily available and may be ideal for an office loft space. Likewise, other office equipment is available in all shapes and sizes and opting for smaller options may be the way to go if you’re looking to give yourself as much space as possible.

Add some colour

Injecting some colour into your loft office will make it a much more inviting and comfortable space to work from.

You may want to consider painting your walls pale shades of blue or grey if you’re looking to brighten up the office. Avoid dark ceilings if you’re looking to keep things fresh and bright.

Feature walls are a popular choice at the moment and are a great way to make a statement with a bold colour or wallpaper on one of your walls.

Deeper, darker shades are great if you’re going for a cosy feeling space. Just be sure to give yourself enough light, be that natural or artificial, when you’re not looking to cosy up and work is on the agenda!

Keep the noise out – soundproofing your loft

When you’re hard at work, the last thing you need is distracting noises that disrupt your focus. If you’re converting your loft in to an office, you may want to consider soundproofing the loft.

This not only prevents noise from coming into the area you’re working in, but also restricts sound from leaving the space.

Soundproofing if you’re doubling up your loft office as games room, cinema room, music studio, or anything else where sound could be an issue for either the rest of the house or neighbouring properties could prove a sensible move.

  We have just had our loft completed by the loft room. They were really easy to work with, took care of all the paperwork. They were great at communicating all the stages and their response time was excellent. Adrian was our builder and he was fantastic. Super thorough, reliable, fast, tidy and often gave us suggestions when we were unsure. The whole project was finished in about 6weeks! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Loft Room to anyone. Many thanks!

  We are so happy we decided to go ahead with The Loft Room. Everyone we met from our initial consultation with Paul to Lulian and his team and Helen and Melissa in the office have been great. We were especially impressed with the hard work of Lulian and his team even through the heatwave. They were friendly and professional and always ready to answer any questions we had. Thanks to Lulian for suggesting bigger Velux windows - they are amazing! All the trades involved were great - we will definitely use them again in the future. The work was completed on time and we are really happy with it. We would certainly recommend The Loft Room.

  We used the loft room for our loft extension and are very pleased with the results. We were lucky enough to have Adrian and Andre build the dormer, the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. The work was completed incredibly quickly, yet the quality remained consistently high throughout. Adrian brought great ideas to the project that genuinely improved the final design, and he kept everything neat and tidy every single day. All the trades they works with — electrician, roofer, plumber and more — were equally reliable and skilled. There were no delays at any stage; each team arrived exactly when needed and kept the project moving smoothly. The administration side Helen and Mellisa  was also superb, with clear updates and communication about progress and next steps. A very professional service all round.

  Off the recommendation of friends we engaged the Loftroom to refresh and extend our existing loft conversion, adding new insulation, skylights, a new shower room and additional bedroom. We have never done major work to a property before so benefited greatly from loft room supporting us start to finish with planning, designs and all the various trades needed. Our team lead Marius was excellent from start to finish. Him and his team were incredibly hard working, working quickly and to a very high standard. We were really impressed especially given they worked through multiple heat waves !!Their advise and guidance during the build was invaluable (see skylight in shower room!). We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marius and the wider loft room team (who were very supportive every step of the way) to anyone looking to complete a loft conversion or improve an existing one.

  We recently completed a loft conversion with The Loft Room, adding two generous rooms, a bathroom and a proper landing, and we are delighted with the result. The new floor feels like a natural part of the house rather than an addition, and the quality of the finished space is excellent. A special mention must go to Dave, who managed the project with patience, kindness and a genuine commitment to getting things right. Building work inevitably brings challenges and changes along the way, but Dave was consistently approachable, practical and willing to find solutions. He took real pride in the work and cared about the final outcome, which made a significant difference to us. The whole team worked incredibly hard in our home, and we are very grateful for what they created. It was a major project for our family, and the additional space has genuinely transformed how we can use and enjoy the house. We would happily recommend The Loft Room and especially Dave.

  Getting a loft conversion done is a big decision. We were honestly quite nervous about it, especially given the investment involved and the number of horror stories you hear about building projects going wrong. Thankfully, our experience with The Loft Room was the complete opposite. From day one, the whole process was handled brilliantly. Everyone we dealt with, from the office team through to the various tradespeople who worked on our home, was professional, friendly and incredibly well organised. What impressed us most was that our loft was completed in just 9 weeks, and the quality of the workmanship never felt rushed. A special mention has to go to Ashley C. He wasn't just the team leader overseeing the project. He was the lead carpenter and the driving force behind the entire build, coordinating all of the contractors, managing the day-to-day work, and making sure everything stayed on track. More than that, he felt like a genuine partner in the project. He understood that we had a budget to work within, took the time to listen, offered great ideas to maximise the space, and always made us feel completely comfortable and informed. His communication was exceptional throughout. No question was ever too small, no concern was ever brushed aside, and he was always happy to walk us through things, sometimes more than once when we needed reassurance. Having someone like Ashley on site every day made what could have been a stressful experience feel surprisingly straightforward and enjoyable. Every contractor who came into our home was polite, respectful and highly skilled. There wasn't a single issue throughout the build, and it was obvious that everyone took pride in their work. In fact, by the end of the project, it was genuinely a little sad to see the team finish. Ashley had become such a reassuring and professional daily presence that we'll genuinely miss seeing him and the crew around. We're now at the final decorating stage and can't wait to move into and enjoy our beautiful new space. We've been talking about our experience to anyone who'll listen, recommending The Loft Room to neighbours and friends, and proudly showing people the transformation. If you're considering a loft conversion, we honestly couldn't recommend The Loft Room highly enough. They've completely exceeded our expectations in every way. 10/10 for quality, professionalism, communication and customer service. And if you're lucky enough to have Ashley C. leading your build, you'll be in extremely safe hands. He played a huge part in making our project such a success.

  We had our loft conversion completed by The Loftroom Teddington at the start of the year, and we're absolutely delighted with the finished result. The extra space has made such a difference to our home, and the quality of the work has been excellent. A big thank you to Ash, who did a fantastic job and was always friendly, hardworking, and happy to answer any questions we had each morning (and throughout the day!). We'd also like to thank Paul, who was great from our very first interaction, as well as Melissa and Helen in the office, who kept everything running smoothly, and Rich, who regularly popped in during the build to check on progress. As with any building project, there were a few small niggles, but these were dealt with quickly, professionally, and efficiently. It was reassuring to know that the team stood by their work and were committed to making sure everything was right. Overall, we've had a really positive experience from start to finish and wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Loftroom Teddington to anyone considering a loft conversion. Thank you to the whole team!
