The type of decoration you choose will come in handy if you are looking to customise or personalise your space. Here are several loft conversion decorating ideas that you can implement to spruce up your space.
A proper loft conversion lighting
Eduard is a loft conversion specialist from Axe Construction and in his experience lofts tend to be pretty dark. One way to ensure that you brighten your space is by making sure that you have adequate lighting. You can do this by incorporating rooflights or large windows and decorate it with fluorescent lights to illuminate your space more. If you cannot have ceiling lights you can always incorporate floor lamps.
Paint using bright colours
One way you can make your loft conversion look bigger and more spacious is by painting the walls with bright colours. This includes colours like white, soft yellow, powder blue or taupe. You can also choose a cooler paint colour like light grey for a receding effect on your walls. Of course you should consider a colour that goes with the overall aesthetic you’re looking to achieve for your room.
Make the most of your slanted ceilings
It’s common for loft conversions to have slanted ceilings and awkward spaces. You can make the slanted ceiling a focal point for your loft conversion by adding a study desk underneath or a small vanity desk. You can also have a large velux window to allow natural lighting into the room and make it brighter.

If you have a small space,this will open it up by creating an illusion of a bigger space. There’s also the option of using a floor-length mirror on the wall.
Pick the right spot for your bed
If you’re using your space as a bedroom, where you place your bed will impact the overall layout of your loft conversion. You can make it the focal point by moving it at the centre of the wall where the sloping walls meet. This will give you ample space to move around in your room. You will also know the amount of space you have left to work with and where to place the remaining furniture. Other things you need to factor in include convenience and aesthetics.
Make the most of the nooks and crannies
Lofts tend to have small nooks and crannies that can give you a headache if you don’t know how to utilise them. If you’re using your loft conversion as a home office, you can get extra storage space by decorating the awkward spaces using inbuilt shelves. Here you can store your files, office decor items and supplies. If the loft is being used as a playroom, you can store toys there and if it’s being used as a spare
