However, you can make even more use of that space by utilising clever loft storage ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Make-the-most-of-the-storage-space-in-your-loft.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2194\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Make-the-most-of-the-storage-space-in-your-loft.png\" alt=\"loft storage\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Create Storage Around the Bed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are turning your loft into a bedroom, this doesn\u2019t mean that you have to lose out on the space available on the wall that your bed is positioned against. To make the most of every inch of space, you can choose to have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/blog\/loft-conversion-storage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storage built around the bed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is a great way to add drawers and cupboards as well as display space for your treasured items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fitted Furniture<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a standard room, the furniture is often placed against the wall, eating into the floor space. However, in a loft, you can add fitted furniture based on how you plan to use the room. So, you can have storage cupboards or even drawers added that can hide away various items. Fitted furniture is particularly useful in a loft, as it is a great way to squeeze the furniture you need into the sloped shape of the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Use the Eaves Space<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When finishing off your loft, don\u2019t let that awkward space under the eaves go to waste. Here you can include storage that is built into the eaves but is still easily accessible such as drawers or sliding units that have a considerable amount of depth to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Create Eaves Bathroom Storage<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have turned your loft into a bathroom then you can really make use of the space on offer. You can make use of the eaves and turn this space that would be unused into small storage spaces that can give your bathroom a new dimension. You can create storage boxes for stacked towels or plants, giving your bathroom a sense of character and style.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Turn it Into a Dressing Room<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A loft conversion does not have to be used for a bedroom or a bathroom because it can be turned into a dressing room. Create great-looking clothes storage or maybe add a walk-in wardrobe. The vertical space can be made use of so that you can store long items of clothing while the low-level storage is great for shoes and other smaller items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Add-storage-for-shoes-to-your-loft.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2195\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Add-storage-for-shoes-to-your-loft.png\" alt=\"Loft shoe storage\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Shoe Shelving<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>We all need somewhere to store our shoes, even if you don\u2019t own hundreds of pairs. Whether they are sports shoes, smart shoes or a pair of heels, storing the in the right way is important. So, you can add some shoe shelving to your loft, giving the space a sense of order and tidiness. Having the ability to see them will help you to use them and will mean that you can always find the exact pair that you want.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Go for Open Storage<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t always have to hide your items away behind drawers and door fronts. If you want that relaxed look and feel and you want a dressing room that is impressive, then open storage is a great option. Everything is accessible and you can see exactly what you are going to wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking for storage solutions elsewhere in your home, check out our posts covering <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/blog\/loft-conversion-storage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">general household storage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/blog\/11-kitchen-storage-hacks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storage hacks for the kitchen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need more space in your home and are considering a loft or garage conversion, or even an extension to increase your living space, then <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mpklofts.co.uk\/wp54\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get in touch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the experts at MPK Lofts.
