Loft Bedroom Ideas to Maximise Space
Lofts are spaces brimming with potential, and with more UK homeowners choosing to upgrade rather than move, it’s easily becoming a number one home improvement. But unlike a normal room in your home, loft bedroom designs need a more considered approach. Freestanding furniture is much harder to fit in amongst most loft bedroom design ideas because you usually need to work around beams, supports and low, sloping ceilings. Fitted furniture is the ideal approach to give loft bedrooms a sufficient amount of storage.
If you need inspiration, let Strachan give you some food for thought as we explore a variety of loft bedroom décor ideas that work for large spaces and those that are slightly cosier too.
- Define multiple zones with different floor levels
A home with extra tall roof space is the perfect opportunity for a multi-level loft bedroom. Installing a mezzanine floor creates architectural interest, as well as defining different spaces. This loft bedroom design creates a cosy reading room and presents a spacious dressing area without sacrificing wardrobe or drawer storage, keeping the room tranquil and clutter-free.
- Embrace the architecture
Exposed beams add character and warmth to loft bedroom designs that are on the more traditional side. Fitted cabinets within this made-to-measure bedroom suite compliment the stripped wood finish of the roof architecture. The simple white and natural oak theme is carried through into the ensuite bathroom, where low-level built-in cabinets incorporate a symmetrical combination of fitted cupboard and drawer units to house towels and toiletries.
- Create a master bedroom suite with a statement bath
Loft bedrooms often enjoy a degree of natural privacy, making them ideal for creating a secluded bedroom retreat to enjoy some peace and tranquillity. This opulent bedroom suite includes a lavish freestanding bath, contemporary chandelier and grandiose bed frame. Loft bedroom designs of this stature create a look and feel of grandness. As these statement fittings are tempered with tastefully wood-grained custom wardrobes, they frame an open walk-through to a separate ensuite space subtly fitted with matching bespoke cupboards and shelving. Ideas of this kind present a considered, luxurious design that will enhance the opulence of any home.
- Clear your head with clutter free minimalism
Choosing full-height slab-style fitted wardrobes makes the room look fabulously sleek and uncluttered. Paired with matching bespoke chests of drawers and a few well-chosen accessories, a loft bedroom like this shows that simplicity has a beauty all of its own and is unbelievably timeless.
- Prepare for the day in natural light
The extra natural light and space a dormer window creates is an ideal place for your dressing table and mirror, perfect for your daily grooming routine. For the loft conversions on a smaller scale, maximising the exposure of natural light makes all the difference. We have helped our customers bring their loft bedroom ideas to life for rooms of all shapes and sizes.
- Consider materials that open up the space
Mirrors are a great way of making a room feel larger and more open. Here, we strategically placed a dressing table with a large mirror close to the entryway of the room to add a sense of airiness in a low-ceilinged loft bedroom.
- Create drama with lighting
One of the more expressive loft bedroom décor ideas is adding a touch of drama to your loft space with feature lighting. In this contemporary loft bedroom design, blue LED backlighting behind cutting-edge smoked glass sliding wardrobe doors certainly makes a bold statement.
- Pay attention to proportions
A low height bed can work better when sited under eaves and make the overall space feel more spacious. Strachan can make bespoke beds to fit the eave space and match it to your chosen bedroom furniture style and finish – it’s design ideas like this that make the difference.
Floating bedside tables provide handy space and storage in tight eave spaces while still looking airy and uncluttered. Small loft bedroom ideas are all about maximising the floor space available with clever interior design.
- Partition your loft bedroom with fitted wardrobes
This clever loft bedroom design uses floor- to-ceiling built-in wardrobes to divide the space into a tranquil master bedroom and a matching ensuite concealed by bespoke matching doors when closed. Whatever size of the space you’re working with, our wide range of fitted wardrobes can be customised to work for you. We have a selection of contemporary and traditional designs complete with bespoke features that will be perfectly suited to your home.
- Incorporate a pop-up TV into bespoke cabinets
TV technology rarely blends well with the soft lines and colours of a bedroom design, however our expert designers had the fantastic idea that entertainment doesn’t have to interrupt the flow of your boudoir furniture. Strachan can incorporate a discreet pop-up mechanism into bespoke cabinets enabling you to watch movies on demand. Here’s one of our contemporary loft bedroom designs that you might not have considered before.
