Loft Conversions: How its Done


Lofts are always in style. They are comfortable and modern, but above all, they are welcoming and open. If you want to make the most of the space without losing light, transforming the space into a loft is the best option. Do you want to give life to your own loft? We will tell you how to build a loft!


The concept was born in the 1950s when large high-rise spaces (warehouses and abandoned factories) in New York were taken over by students and artists who turned them into places of living and working, as we have seen in so many movies set in the Big Apple. Its main characteristic is its luminosity and its absence of walls or internal divisions. These improvised and inspiring spaces became popular in the following decades to the present day, where real estate companies design floors that inherit this style (without having to occupy abandoned buildings) and call them Loft. This is what you have to do to turn your boring apartment into the Loft of your life.

Building an inexpensive loft is possible if you keep these simple rules in mind:

All open
The lofts are characterized by not having internal walls, except for some areas where it is strictly necessary, such as in the bathroom. If in the design process we find that we need to separate certain areas by the necessity of the structure, we recommend that you do so with glass enclosures. These can be even with glass dials so they are not completely translucent; it depends on your taste!


Do not cover beams or ducts, they are the most
This is a rule that is becoming very fashionable in the trendiest restaurants and stores of the moment. When you go to a warm space, like a coffee shop, that you love, look up. You will understand that the number one enemy of lofts is ceilings and false ceilings. If space has steel or concrete beams running across it, don't cover them! This also applies to pipes and vents. It may seem a bit weird to you, but this is a fundamental principle in adapting the loft-style.


Industrial lamps, if they can be old better
Precisely because lofts were born with the takeover of factories and warehouses, their essence stems from industrial elements, and among them, the luminaire is one of the most important. Hanging lamps and directional spotlights, such as those in a theatre, are ideal for any space: kitchen, dining room ... Think of the typical rusty field lamp, save it! Put a warm bulb in it and hang it up. You don't need anything else anymore.


Think about the concept behind lofts and build your loft easily and inexpensively. Forget about expensive designs, you just have to open the spaces and not cover the ducts. The rest is part of your imagination. You up to it? Are you looking for a Loft Conversion in South West London, contact Doran Bros Construction. The best Loft specialists you can find.
