You need to consider the layout of your completed loft conversion long before you start work. This means deciding where you will position pieces of furniture, the bathroom and any built-in storage.

If you have a larger loft bedroom then you can be more dramatic with your layout.
Keeping your bed central will make more of a visual impact, and otherwise, think about breaking up and zoning the space. Rather than pushing everything against the walls, consider a stud wall — as above — which will allow you to create an ensuite or wardrobe, while you could even use a tall headboard as a room divider to hide more storage behind it and help keep the rest of your room clutter free. Loft ideas for bedrooms: remember that blackout blinds are a sound option to ensure that an attic bedroom is as practical for sleeping in, as it beautiful to look at.
