Not sure how you can maximize your home’s living space? You might want to consider your attic. If it’s empty or currently used as storage space, it has lots of possibilities. A professional home remodel specialist has the expertise to renovate your attic into almost any type of living space that suits your needs and preferences!
Is an Attic Remodel Worth the Investment?
If you want your attic renovation to be worth the investment, you need to make the right design choices. Several factors must be considered so that you’ll know what your options are when you plan out your renovation project. This will also help you anticipate any unforeseen issues during the renovation, such as rot, deterioration and even pest infestation.
If your home is relatively new, you should still consider what your attic may need. For instance, if your attic currently has a single light bulb or window, the lighting will most likely need to be upgraded. Your options can range from installing skylights for more daylight to artificial lighting wired from existing outlets.
Another factor to consider is the plumbing, which is almost non-existent in unfinished attics. Additional plumbing may be needed to accommodate a bathroom and other features of your living space. If this is the case, the plumbing and drain lines will probably be installed near the floor or through a vent stack.
Attic Remodeling Ideas to Consider
If you’re not sure what you can do to maximize your attic space, our home renovation team shares a few ideas to consider.
Office
If your work is currently home-based, having a home office makes sense. It can help you improve your concentration and productivity. Your attic can easily accommodate all the basic equipment you’ll need for your office space, including a sturdy desk, a comfortable office chair and your computer.
Guest Room
Attics are often renovated into spacious bedrooms to host guests, but keep in mind that the requirements may be a bit complicated compared to other remodeling projects. It needs to meet certain guidelines to ensure it meets the requirements for a safe and proper bedroom. Most attic bedrooms must be at least 70 feet long, seven feet high and seven feet wide. The room should also have at least two types of egress.
