This means that you will be able to find a storage solution that works well for you and your home. In fact, creating additional storage space in your conversion isn\u2019t as difficult as you may think, even if you have a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/blog\/small-loft-conversion-uses\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small loft<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Below we have outlined some of our favourite suggestions to help you maximise the available storage space in your loft conversion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Top Options for Loft Storage<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cupboards<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though an obvious way to create storage and hide clutter, cupboards shouldn\u2019t be overlooked. They are a simple, easy and affordable way to create storage space in your loft. It doesn\u2019t matter what you are storing or how much space you have, you are sure to find cupboards that fit seamlessly and look great. Another consideration in a loft conversion is the possibility of storage in the eaves. This is a common space saving trick, allowing normally ignored, unusable areas limited by a sloping roof to be used as cupboards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storage In Your Seat<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great way to store items is to sit on them! Putting a window seat storage bench in your loft is a great way to hide away bits and bobs whilst offering seating at the same time. Alternatively, try an ottoman with storage inside; perfect for storing blankets, books or whatever else you might like to keep tucked away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wall Units<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a lot of additional storage in your loft, wall storage units work well. These can be built to cover a large area and they can span the entire wall, meaning that all available space is used and your loft has maximum storage. Custom wall units are also an option, if you have smaller and more unusual spaces that you\u2019d like to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Floating Shelves<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are struggling to find somewhere to keep books, ornaments, trinkets, bits and bobs then you may want to consider floating shelves. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Floating-shelves.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2106\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Floating-shelves.png\" alt=\"Loft conversion floating shelves storage MPK Lofts\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As well as being relatively quick and easy to install, floating shelves are the perfect way to store items whilst having them out on display. Instead of putting away some of your favourite books and photos, arrange them on a floating shelf.<\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under Bed Storage<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to under bed storage, there are two options. You can either buy a bed that already has under bed storage, which is often the easiest and most professional looking option. However, if you already have a bed that you love and you are not looking to buy a new one, you can use storage tubs. All you need to do is fill the tubs with whatever you need to store, before sliding them under the bed and out of sight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build Storage Around The Bed<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the bed isn\u2019t the only part of the sleeping area you can utilise for storage; built in or free standing shelves, cupboards and drawers along the wall at the head of the bed, running floor to ceiling, are handy for bedside use, great for storage and don\u2019t take up too much space. They can be designed or chosen to fit the shape of the room, helping you make the most of every available inch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re struggling for space in rooms other than the loft, why not try some of these out? They\u2019re great for any part of the house, not just a converted loft!
