Are you thinking about building a loft conversion? If so, the choice of loft designs that are open to you are many and varied but here we look at the top three choices made by homeowners in the UK.

By far the most popular loft conversion project in the UK is a new bedroom. For those property owners with a growing family the currently unused roof space is the perfect location to add an extra bedroom or two.

When thinking about new bedrooms and loft designs the most popular option is to create a large new master bedroom for the parents. Loft conversion bedrooms can be absolutely stunning if they make use of large windows to create floods of natural light in the morning or a romantic view of the starlit sky at night. And, with the space available it is very easy to include an en-suite bathroom in your loft conversion.

But kids will also love being in the highest room in the house (and far away from the eyes of their parents) and many loft spaces would be big enough to incorporate two decent sized children’s bedrooms.

The second most popular option for loft designs is to create extra living space by building a luxurious main family room. A loft conversion can yield a surprising amount of space but when thinking about a new living area extra care should be taken how that space is used.

The slope of the roof can make it tricky to obtain the layout you want but with careful planning and looking around for furniture that fits comfortably into the available space a very stylish living area can be created for all the family to enjoy.

Another very popular choice when converting the loft is to make the space into a home office. Working at home is increasing in popularity year by year and the loft is the perfect location for a new home office.

Probably the biggest obstacle to overcome in these kind of loft designs is the installation of the electrical system and the extra sockets needed to power all the equipment needed in a busy home office. But, the careful selection of storage and locating the work stations can result in an office to be proud of.

Of course when the decision is taken to convert the loft every member of the family will lay claim to the new room and have their own ideas on how they want their new room to look but, to recap, the three most popular loft designs are; bedroom, living room and home office.
