Remodeling your attic is a unique way to make the most of the space you already have and increase the value of your home, without the cost of building a new room. Once you've consulted with a contractor to determine your attic is a good candidate for a remodel, it's time to start making plans for what the new space should be. Attic spaces are great for lofts, office space or rooms for children and teens. Once you've cleared the space out and completed the basic remodeling, you're ready to start thinking about the fun stuff- design and décor. Attic spaces are typically designed to be sealed up and ignored. Adding windows and sky lights will brighten the place up and make time spent their feel like a privilege, not a punishment. Using interesting floor and wall coverings, unique light fixtures and eclectic furniture will turn your attic into a livable space that rivals the rest of your home. The first step is to add a dependable access route. If you're planning on turning your attic into a bedroom, a spiral staircase is a great way to go because it conserves room.
