Diy adding a loft bedroom into attic space.

Elevate the bedroom and add a partial wall like studio db did in this loft. That s measured after you finish the ceiling. Glass bifurcates the space while still maintaining flow and the consistent curtains also ensure a cohesive whole. If you have 2 2 metres or more you re off to a good start.

For the new master bedroom in the attic the couple wanted to maintain a sense of being up in the eaves of the dwelling. First check for head clearance. If you don t have enough height you ll have to raise the roof line and that adds a lot to your construction costs. To add both architectural interest and texture to this attic bedroom interior designer alexandra hernandez created a custom headboard wall made up of individual burlap upholstered plywood cubes.

Building codes vary by location but most require at least a 7 foot clearance for attic expansions. You ll need to get your tape measure out to check the height between the floor and the highest point in your attic. The minimum height for a loft conversion is 2 2 metres.
