Room at the Top: Attic Transformations

Converting Dark Storage Space into Livable Areas

Once considered a dark and dingy storage area, the utilization of attic space represents a new way of providing an additional area for families to maximize and enjoy. The trend to convert these areas into comfortable bedrooms, home offices, play areas and guest suites are increasing, as homeowners recognize they can acquire additional square footage without having to go outside of the original boundaries of the home.

Many of today’s attic designs focus on being able to transform the underused square footage into an open environment boasting natural light and volume. And just because it’s the attic doesn’t mean it lacks in the amenities department. In fact, the once overlooked square footage rivals many of the other rooms in the home featuring modern amenities such as recessed lighting, crown molding, built-in cabinetry, hardwood floors and a multitude of options, delivering high style, elegance and function, defining a new brand of attic living.

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of homes that are transforming their attics into livable areas. It’s every homeowners dream to have more space. Attics are a great source of untapped, inexpensive living space. With the right design, an attic can be as inviting as any room in the home, increasing the appraisal value without having to add new space.
