Create the Perfect Home Office with a Loft Conversion

Over the past year, most of us have been forced to make do with temporary office solutions.

From dining tables surrounded by kids doing their home-schooling and fold-out picnic tables in the corner of the living room to beanbags stolen from the children and tucked away in whatever alcove we could find — it is safe there have been some unusual workstation set-ups.

But with remote working now becoming a more permanent feature across many companies, is it not about time that we created a proper office space for ourselves? A loft conversion offers the perfect solution.

Here are our top tips for creating an inviting and peaceful home office that will boost productivity and bring that sought-after work-life balance…

1. Add some personality

The great thing about working from home is that YOU can decide exactly how you want your office to look. So, think about what inspires you — whether it is an uplifting paint colour or plenty of plants — and include these personal touches in your home office.

What works for one person may not work for another, so it is important to keep it personal and create a space that you want to work in. Not only will good décor make your office feel more inviting, but it will also help you unlock the perfect combination of creativity and productivity.

2. Focus on lighting

The first rule of building a comfortable office space is to let plenty of natural light and fresh air in — a dark and stuffy room does nothing for concentration levels! Did you know natural light has been proven to improve productivity and help you sleep better once you clock off for the day?

Velux windows or aluminium bi-fold doors leading onto frameless glass balconies will flood loft conversions with natural light and allow lots of fresh air into the room when thrown open (weather permitting, of course). Mirrors and light wall colours will also enhance natural light, whilst translucent window shades or blinds can be used to reduce any glare on your screen without darkening the room.

3. Make room for storage

When working from home, things can get a little messy. Without the judging eyes of your co-workers on you, guilting you into keeping your desk tidy, it can quickly descend into chaos. But a cluttered space equals a cluttered mind, so clever storage solutions are crucial in your home office.

When deciding on the best solutions for your office space, consider your workflow — what comes in, where will it stay whilst you are working on it, and where does it go once complete? Shelving, filing cabinets and cupboards are all a great way to maximise space, and they do not have to be clunky. Your loft conversion specialist will be able to offer ideas on how to seamlessly integrate your chosen storage solutions into the design of your loft conversion.

4. Allow for flexibility

Of course, not everyone will want or need to work from home ALL the time. Some companies are looking to make remote working a more permanent fixture of their business models. But many are also taking an increasingly hybrid approach, allowing staff to choose when to work from home and when to come into the office.

This means your home office may also need to take a hybrid approach — doubling up as an occasional guest room or perhaps a snug. So, it’s essential to allow for flexibility whilst ensuring the space still feels fit for all its intended purposes.

A sofa bed loaded with cushions in sumptuous fabrics could make the ideal brainstorming spot (the best ideas often come away from the desk) during the week and then transform the room into a cosy spare bedroom at the weekend. Fold-down desks also allow you to ‘pack away’ the office when not in use, whilst ladder-style solutions can make an attractive feature once the laptop is tucked away neatly in the drawer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eddie, our main contractor, and his labourer Damian were an absolute joy to have on-site. Their professionalism, manners, and attention to detail were exceptional. Eddie’s workmanship is top-tier, and the speed and efficiency with which he executed the project were incredibly impressive. We absolutely love our new loft space, and the sheer quality of the construction delivered by Eddie and his brilliant on-site team completely earned this top rating.
If we were judging solely on The Loft Room side, this would have been closer to a 4-star review. Communication with the head office was sometimes a little haphazard, and there were some unexpected plumbing extras from early bathroom decisions that could have been made clearer by sharing an indicative plumbing "extras" cost upfront. We also received some inaccurate guidance from The Loft Room on paint quantities for the new bedroom and en-suite, which left us with far too much paint that couldn't be returned and the "free" decoration incentive was disappointing due to a poor finish and surly decorators.
Ultimately, though, a build is only as good as the person executing it. Eddie’s fantastic management, swift pace, and flawless execution completely outshone other frustrations. We couldn't be happier with the final result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dragos and his team did a great job for us. They provided a complete end to end service from design, architecture and planning permission, full loft construction and decorating.
Early on in the project, with the support of Dragos, we decided to make a fundamental change to the design. They took this in their stride with no material change to the cost.
The team were considerate, skilled, polite and reliable throughout the project.
I would thoroughly recommend The Loft Room to anyone considering a loft extension or major alteration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment we spoke to Maggie, we felt The Loft Room was the right company for us. The whole admin team (Maggie, Melissa, Helen and Ciara) are warm and friendly, and super efficient.

Dave and Ashley (and Charlie) have done a fantastic job converting our loft. We have wholeheartedly trusted Dave’s expertise with him having completed 42 lofts previously. We are absolutely delighted with the results so far.  The tradespeople that have been over have been excellent: Mark and Kasper - the roofers, Stuart - electrician, Justin - plasterer, Dave - painter etc.

We did get some lower quotes from other companies, but we think there’s a strong case of ‘you get what you pay for’ with The Loft Room. The whole process was surprisingly smooth and unobtrusive - we just hadn’t expected that from a loft conversion. We would definitely recommend The Loft Company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really happy with the finished loft conversion! The team was very friendly, professional, and respectful of our home throughout the project. While it took a little longer than initially expected, we put it down to the extreme heat of the summer we just had. The quality of the final build makes it well worth it—would recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a rear dormer completed by The Loft Room, which also involved lowering the ceilings throughout the first floor.

The efficiency and quality of the work carried out are the main reasons we’ve given five stars. We felt the administrative and communications side of the process could have been better, but ultimately the most important thing for us was the quality of the build, and in that respect we were extremely happy.

The team on site were excellent and always treated the house as our home rather than simply a building site. They were respectful, tidy and a pleasure to have around throughout the project.

Dragos has been a joy to work with and brought a huge amount of calm, experience and knowledge to the project. Lulian, on site, was the ultimate professional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the quality of his workmanship was excellent.

Overall, we’re really pleased with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Loft Room based on the quality of the work and the team we had on site.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so happy with our new loft space and have been really impressed with The Loft Room from start to finish.

Communication throughout the project has been excellent. Marius and his team worked incredibly hard to meet deadlines while taking great care and pride in their work. Helen in the office, along with Marius, were always on hand to keep us updated on progress and talk us through the different choices and options available.

It was also really helpful having a clear contract in place detailing exactly what was included in the agreed costs. This made budgeting much easier and meant there were no unexpected or surprise costs along the way.

We can’t wait for the final touches to be completed so we can start enjoying our family’s new space. Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work — we’re really happy with the result!

Going the extra mile to make our new space amazing. They really managed to maximise the floor space to create a great sized master bed and en-suite.

From design all the way through to finishing the construction the team have been great. Quality of the work is outstanding, kept informed and updated all throughout the build, and always consulted about the specifics.

Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are delighted with our new loft conversion by The Loft Room. The whole process went incredibly smoothly, from the planning stage all the way through to decorating.

A huge thank you to Vio, who led the team on our project. Vio and the team’s hard work and dedication has transformed our house. Vio kept everything running on track, maintained a high standard of work, and was always a pleasure to deal with. He and his team treated our home with respect and made sure the details were done right. And also, a special mention to all in the office whose excellent communication kept us in the loop throughout.

We would heartily recommend The Loft Room to anyone looking to do a loft conversion. Thanks guys!
