Small spaces are all about making the most of every square footage. The Fine Furniture Design Home Office Cambrion Occasional Bookcase 36 Shelving Unit is vertically fit to optimize a small space.<\/p><\/div>\n

Have you noticed just how condominium units are becoming ever smaller? Nowadays, the home has to be functional and beautiful at the same time and no one can afford to have a spot that\u2019s unused. All the square footage in those four walls simply have to be put to good use.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness, these condos also come with high ceilings so the loft that results from this extra space can have its practical and aesthetic uses. So, if you have a loft and you\u2019re wondering what to do with it, here are some ideas that might help \u2013<\/p>\n

A Continuous Corridor <\/strong><\/p>\n

Another way to look at lofts is to build a mezzanine that winds throughout the living area, thus, creating a seamless corridor <\/em>for your tiny space. This expansion beyond the usual walkway can fit in a corner where you and your friends can play cards or where you can compete in a game of darts.<\/p>\n

A Study Room <\/strong><\/p>\n

What about if the loft is slim, tall and it comes in twos? A dual loft space will effectively become a functional bedroom. This much bigger loft that sits on top of your condo\u2019s open kitchen can become the study room that you have long ago wished for.<\/p>\n

The smaller platform, on the other hand, can be delegated as a walk-in closet.<\/p>\n

More Sleeping Spots <\/strong><\/p>\n

Having a loft means you can think in terms of bunk beds but on a much larger scale. The extended ceiling can be separated into two self-sustaining bedrooms. Each zone can have its own bed, a study desk or even a small wardrobe.<\/p>\n

A TV Corner <\/strong><\/p>\n

And who says you always have to fight just to be able to watch your favorite TV show? With that extra space, you can now create your own private corner where you can set up your own TV set.<\/p>\n

This TV corner can also be the perfect snooze spot if you no longer have the energy to walk all the way to your bedroom. Just add a couple of bean bags or floor pillows and you\u2019ve already created a tiny bedroom that\u2019s cozy, elevated, and the perfect spot to binge-watch.<\/p>\n

Storage Space <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tiny spaces need all the extra space that they can get. Stack some shelves and what you get are more storage units for your home. These much-needed storage racks or shelves don\u2019t have to be ugly, though. How about unleashing the artist in you by choosing the most stylish racks and shelves? Remember that you also have to consider the visual punch and not just the functionality of the furnishings that you add there.<\/p>\n

Small but aptly illuminated- this is what your condo should be. Here is a stylish way to light your loft, the Uttermost Lamps and Lighting Caperana Black Buffet Lamps come in sets of two.<\/p><\/div>\n
A Master Bedroom <\/strong><\/p>\n
You can even add extra value to your home as you convert the loft space into your master bedroom. The loft may be that unfinished attic or it can be that extra vertical space in your tiny home, it really doesn\u2019t matter. What you need to initially do is to consult with the local government regarding the building codes for residences.<\/p>\n
Obtain the necessary permits before you even begin measuring the space and planning on what to put there.<\/p>\n
For unfinished lofts, always consult with an engineer or an architect so that you\u2019re ascertained that the rafters will be able to support the drywall for the walls and ceilings. Any HVAC or electrical system will also be an additional consideration.<\/p>\n
Ensure also that the floor joists are able to support the weight of the remodeled zone. Check, yet again, with a licensed structural engineer or an architect. A room that\u2019s lacking natural light would do well to have a skylight or even a solar tube.<\/p>\n
Use the slanted ceiling or low areas as storage spaces. You can place small drawers and shelves there. These alcoves are also perfect as cozy reading nooks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
