Making The Most Of Attic Space

by - 12:00

The attic is a room in the home that is sometimes neglected when it comes to remodeling projects. You'll find that there are quiet a few ideas that can benefit the entire family. An attic remodel cost doesn't have to be expensive as you can usually find the things that you need at secondhand stores or on clearance. When you begin the remodeling project, you need to make sure the vents are working properly in the room as you don't want the area to be too hot or cold. You should also look at the insulation in the room, along with the lighting as many attics are darker than the rest of the home. 

Create a plan so that you know what you want the attic to be used for and what you want it to look like before you begin any kind of project. Think about who will use the room and why more space is needed in the home. This can give you an idea as to what to do with the space, such as an extra bedroom or a play area for your children. 

One of the ways that you can transform the space is by creating a living room. You want to add a coat of paint to the attic that is a neutral color, such as white or beige. This can make the space seem larger than it is and make it a little easier to decorate. When it comes to furniture, try to find something lightweight as you don't want to injure your back or legs while taking furniture upstairs. A couch against a window with a coffee table is ideal for creating a space that the family can enjoy away from the rest of the home. 

An attic can easily be turned into a stunning bedroom. There are several design ideas depending on who the room is for, such as a teenager or a child. One of the benefits of an attic bedroom is that you will likely have a beautiful view of the yard as there is usually at least one window in the attic. Other options include a home office or a large play area where children can have fun indoors when they can't go outside.
