We often talk about the ways in which you can look after your roof, but today we're going to focus on utilising that ceiling space and turning it into a liveable attic room.

As noted by Domain, many homes (in Australia and abroad) have about 30% of their potential floor area residing in what is often considered ceiling space. But such space can repurposed and built into a liveable area known as an attic or attic room. This space is most commonly accessible/useable in homes that have pitched roofs - this accounts for the majority of Australian homes.

Your attic can be transformed into any number of room types - be it a bedroom, a living room, a recreational space, etc. You'll just need to make sure you account for the additional weight such changes could lead to and that they don't impact on the lower levels of your home. In addition to this, you'll want to make sure your roof is in good order and that you don't remove any vital framing.

If you're considering such a move, we've included some images below to inspire you in terms of design, layout, the purpose of your attic room, and more.
