If
this is the case for your children, before you go house hunting for that extra
bedroom, have you considered converting your attic? A loft
conversion in London is often the way forward for many families, and
there are more ways than one of giving your children that extra room, too.
Moving on Up
For
most families, the easiest way of gaining the extra bedroom required and
keeping all family members happy is for the new loft conversion to be used as a
luxury master suite for parents, with one of the children moving into the spare
bedroom created on the first floor of the house.
After
all, why should the children have all the fun?! A house’s loft space will often
be the biggest room in a property, so why not convert it into a beautiful
master bedroom, perhaps with an adjoining ensuite or dressing room?
The
children will still be happy when one of them can have the spare room
downstairs, and there will be no fights over who gets the big, beautiful, brand
new room!
Children’s Retreat
Of
course, if you already love your current bedroom, you might find it easier to
relocate one of the children into the new loft conversion. Once children are of
a certain age, and you’re no longer running in and out of their room through
the night to manage their needs, there’s no reason why a child shouldn’t occupy
the loft room.
This
works particularly well if you have an older child, and can perhaps split part
of the loft space into a dedicated playroom for this child and their siblings
to share, or if you want to create a dedicated teenage hangout.
Share and Share Alike
Of
course, some children don’t mind sharing for the majority of the time, and just
have niggles with their siblings every now and again, particularly if they are
of very different ages with different needs, or if their personalities clash
from time to time.
If,
on the whole, the children do get along, and you’ve got the space in the loft,
why not create two bedrooms in the attic, and perhaps the children can share a
bathroom in the loft space too? For siblings that generally enjoy each other’s
company, this can be a great compromise, and it gives your home two new
bedrooms to boot.
Whatever
needs your children have, there’s almost always a way around it. Speak to a

home fairly for all family members.
