A Dublin loft with a difference

When Emer and Jerry Moloney started planning their loft conversion their main aim was to create an extra living space and gain some additional storage in what was previously an inaccessible part of the home.

Emer, a 54 year old housewife and Jerry, 53, a senior manager in IT, were initially reluctant about converting their loft as they were unsure how much space there would be available but since completion it has exceeded all their expectations.

Emer was heavily involved in the renovation of their loft and takes her design inspiration from places like Pinterest, Instagram, magazines and TV. “I like using colour accents with clean neutral backgrounds. I wanted to give the loft a bright Scandi vibe, which the VELUX windows have contributed massively to, especially when we open out the two top-hung ones. It gives an amazing spacious feeling on hot summer days,” Emer added.

In total the build only took two weeks and has resulted in a space not only Emer and Jerry can enjoy but also their twelve year old rescue Tibetan Terrier and four year old rescue cat. “They both love the loft and the cat spends all day sleeping up there because it's warm and quiet. Jerry and I also love taking in the views the windows offer, whether it’s a beautiful pink sunrise or the fireworks on New Year’s Eve, there’s so much we can see now.”
