If you have run out of space in your home, you can always transform the attic into a bedroom. This might be a cozy space for you or for another member of your family. You just have to make sure that you do the tasks right when you are renovating your attic and turning it into a livable space.
You have to assess the area of the attic. This will allow you to determine how many furniture items you may possibly introduce into the room. If you are buying new furniture, measuring the area will also give you a good idea about the sizes of furniture items that you need to buy.
If you have a lot of space, you may indulge in a big bed or a wide dresser. However, if the attic space is limited, you need to make sure that all of your essential furniture items are small enough to fit inside the room. This will also be the time for you to inspect the area. You might want to hire an engineer to look at the structural integrity of the room. Be mindful that the attic may be the most untended part of the house. If there are problems with it in the past, you might have no idea about the presence of these problems. Aside from the structure, you may also want to hire another expert to check for the growth of molds and mildew. Most attic spaces are humid and they may also be wet most of the time because of leaks from the roof.
In addition, if there are defects that need to be repaired, you have to have them repaired as soon as possible and before you transfer furniture products into that space. Look for leaks in the roof or cracks in the wall. You need to determine where the bed will be placed. The bed is a big furniture item. It may be placed at one corner or in the middle of the room. You have to position the bed in relation to other items that you have inside the room. There should be enough space for you to walk through, open your drawers or cabinets, and work on a table in the room.
