How to start your room design for your attic!

Now, everyone has that dusty attic space that you have no idea what to use it for! Luckily, we at Third Space Builders wanted to give you some tips on how to create an amazing third space attic room design for your family. Here are ways to get started and space ideas you will fall in love with. Turning your attic into a practical living space is a great way to expand your home without paying too much for an actual build-on!

-How is your attic built?

First things first, you have to know how much of your attic space is actually usable. Some attics may not be able to support the kind of room design you are looking to build. The structural framing beneath your roof will determine if you will be able to use your attic for an extra space. Our team at Third Space Builders will be able to tell you right away if your attic meets all of the requirements to move forward!

-Accessibility of the attic space

Another great thing to consider when coming up with a plan for your attic is accessibility. Building codes for attics usually require a full size staircase with a minimum of 6-feet, 8-inches of clearance above. Also, fire code safety requires 2 exits for an attic. So you could build a couple of windows to make sure that your attic is up to par and safe. We at Third Space Builders offer specific room design elements, including windows!

-Attic renovation ideas

Now, to the fun part! What do you plan on using your attic space for? A more common way to use your attic is to transform it into a loft living room! An extra living room is great to have, especially during the holiday season for all the family to gather in. Another cool idea is to turn your attic into a game room for the kids! Put a pool table in, a girls’ dress-up room, a kids’ arts and crafts space, or an ice hockey table! The last idea we wanted to share is turning your attic space into a music studio! How cool would that be?! If you’re a lover of music and guitars, now you will have a space dedicated just to the creation of music!

“What a great learning experience for our kids! Sure, at the end of the day, we will have a great place for them to play, but truthfully, this process with Third Space was so engaging for my kids that my wife and I will cherish that just as much as the moments yet to unfold within our new space.”
