Want to make the most out of every square inch of your home? Transforming your attic into a functional storage room might be the solution you need.
In fact, for our client Sarah, it’s exactly what she was after, and her story might just inspire your next home project.
Initial considerations
In January 2021, Sarah approached us with the idea of transforming her attic into a combination storage and knitting room. The existing attic offered a 2m cavity height, which after some initial assessments, posed certain design challenges. Constructing a Deluxe Attic Room would reduce the usable height to approximately 1.7-1.8 meters due to structural necessities like flooring and wall installation.
So, we played it smart. Instead of squeezing into a deluxe setup, we recommended a clean storage room. We initially quoted her for a cozy 9m2 room, but Sarah decided to mull it over.
Choosing the right solution
Fast forward to April 2024, Sarah was back in action, ready to upscale her plans! This time, she had a bit extra in the reno budget and was ready to go big. She
called us back to requote for a larger room – she was all in for a more spacious 15m2 clean storage room.
And guess what? Just as we were about to roll up our sleeves, Sarah had a lightbulb moment—quite literally. She wanted to bring in some natural light, and after a quick chat about her vision, we suggested two 250mm round skylights to bring some sunshine into the space.
The works: attic storage room, skylight, ladder, and more
Here’s how we transformed her unused attic into a beautifully functional storage room:
- Spacious 15m2 clean storage room
- Sleek Statesman Sliding Attic Ladder for easy access
- Handy hatch door to access the rest of the roof cavity
- Two 250mm, round, triple-glazed skylights that introduce great natural light
Sarah’s feedback: “the end result exceeded our expectations”
Sarah’s feedback post-project completion couldn’t have been more positive. In her Google review, she praised the affordability, the quality of construction, and the overall service experience, stating;
“Absolutely amazing company to deal with. Affordable, well built, great attitudes from the builders, reception and just a wonderful easy experience overall.
Now we have a good sized storage space that’s easy to access and looks great. Bigger than it looks in the photos and you can stand fully upright in the middle.
We went with the clean storage option with 2 skylights and the end result exceeded our expectations. Would recommend this company 100%.”
The added natural light from the skylights exceeded her expectations, proving that sometimes, the best decisions come later.
