Guide to Planning and Designing Your Loft Conversion There are many ways of increasing the value of your property and one of the most efficient

With real estate prices being through the roof many people decide to “rent” a room from their parents in the family house. Other people decide to share an apartment with friends or strangers.
That’s really nothing new and who could blame them. Or us. Did you know that banks give mortgages up to 4 or 5 yearly salaries? Cool if you did, don’t worry if you didn’t.
Here’s the kicker. Average real estate prices in London are around 14 average yearly salaries.
Fourteen! That’s just mind blowing. No wonder people are looking for alternatives. Of course there are many people who can afford it, but there are also many that simply cannot.
I don’t want to go into the discussion if we should do something about it or is it right or wrong, that’s not the point. The point is what can you do if you are in a situation like that.
You can’t afford your own place, but you would love to feel more like home and independent.
Well, we might have a solution for that.
What you can do is to “convert” your bedroom into a small studio apartment. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than nothing, right? If buying your own flat is not an option I think it can work pretty cool.

Now, I don’t know your exact situation and the layout of the actual apartment or house you live in, but I will try to keep it as universal as possible. Maybe it won’t be a step-by-step guide, but it can definitely be used as an inspiration.
I hope to provide you with a few great solutions.
Above you can find few really good ideas to transform your bed into a small apartment. And what you shouldn’t do? Definitely don’t bother with creating anything like kitchen area.
Don’t waste space for anything like that. Or something like “front door area” with mailbox, plant or coat rack. Yes, I’ve seen something like that, but I don’t see a point really.
This house or apartment surely do have those facilities.
Although I have to admit mini fridge is hell of an idea and will definitely add some awesomeness to the entire project!

Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a totally different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and
design. Wonderful choice of colors!

Really useful article, loft conversions are one of the best ways to add value to a property. The new space can also be used for so many things.
Really liked the part in this article about “Best Ideas to Create a Studio Apartment From a Room” very good information and insightful.
We recently wrote an article about the best ideas for small lofts: https://www.create-room.co.uk/loft-conversion-ideas-for-small-lofts/
Sorry for the shameless blog promo, but I think it’s relevant to this post and hope you get some use out of it 🙂
