In many homes, the roof space often sits empty and used for little more than storing boxes and forgotten items. But with a little vision this area can become a useful extension of your living space. In Alrewas, Staffordshire, one family took their underused roof storage and turned it into a bright, welcoming office and hobby room.
The main goal? To create a comfortable, creative area for working and enjoying hobbies, without going through the process of a full loft conversion for habitable use. This means no extra bedrooms or bathrooms, but instead a flexible space perfect for working from home, crafting, or even reading and relaxing.
One of the biggest transformations came from adding Velux windows. Roof spaces are often dark but by installing these skylights, the natural light now floods in, making the room feel much larger and more inviting. The Velux windows also allow for good ventilation, keeping the room fresh all year round.
To finish, new flooring was added and the walls & ceilings were fully plastered. The result is an office and hobby room that’s a joy to spend time in. Since the room isn’t classed as a ‘habitable’ space, building regulations were simpler to navigate. It’s now the perfect room for storing supplies, working in peace, or relaxing with a book.
If you’ve been considering transforming your own unused roof space, now is the perfect time to see what’s possible. Whether you’re looking to create extra storage space, extra bedroom, a dedicated home office, we’re here to turn your vision into reality.
