From Constrained to Spacious: How Extending Upward or Outward Can Revolutionize Your Home



Depending on why you need more room in your home, you may decide on a loft conversion or a ground-floor extension. Either one will provide more living space, enhance your home and ultimately add value to your property. However, an important but often ignored aspect of expanding your home is how it can impact your quality of life.

Moving Up
So you?ve decided to extend your home upward and convert your underutilised loft space. This approach offers you an excellent opportunity to add an extra bedroom and bathroom, thereby increasing both the living space and the value of your property. One of the determining factors in house prices is the number of bedrooms and an extra bathroom is also a big selling point.
But if you already have all the living space that you need, you?re not restricted to putting in a bedroom and bathroom. Instead, a dormer loft conversion can be used as a home office, yoga studio, study, library, games room, home cinema or hobby room. Yes, extending your home does add value and will give your property more saleability but it can also revolutionize how you live in the house. Improving your quality of life with a practical space that is not limited in its functionality gives you the flexibility to change the usage of the room.
As children grow up, you no longer work from home or you switch hobbies, the loft conversion can serve whatever purpose you choose. When grandchildren come along you can reinvent the loft conversion as a guest bedroom or playroom....
