Headspace delivered with a new loft conversion

The decision for Patrick and Laura Jackson to purchase their 1930s semi-detached home in historic York was an easy one. The property had clear scope for carrying out a loft conversion, something the couple knew they would need as their family grew.

Now, 5 years later, the arrival of their second son has meant the family outgrew their traditional three bedroom home which was over originally over two floors. The house has now been transformed into a four bedroom home over three floors, thanks to a light and airy loft conversion.

Patrick added: “We wanted duo blackout blinds to keep the glare from street lights out of the bedroom at night but also act as a sun shade during the day to help us control the heat coming in. We purchased the VELUX INTEGRA® automatic blackout blind for the box room where Rudy sleeps, as the ceiling is quite high and difficult to reach. All the blinds are great, we’re really pleased with them.”

Undertaking their loft conversion was challenging with small children in the house, however the family is very pleased with the space. Patrick said: “Our loft conversion has enabled us to open up space we didn’t think we had. We have taken the ceiling out of our small first floor bedroom and used what would otherwise have just been eaves storage in the loft to create a perfect sized nursery. We now have a bright, airy and luxurious bedroom and en suite for us, along with an additional bedroom for the boys to enjoy.”
