Looking for some handy loft storage ideas? You've found yourself in the right place.

Read on to find our 5 easy loft storage ideas and solutions.
Find our 5 loft storage ideas to turn your loft into a useful space:
1. Create an even and safe floor
A fundamental way to make your loft space easier to use is to board your loft to create an even and stable floor. By having a floor you trust, it allows you to stack boxes, furniture and other items you may need to store. This also allows you to walk safely in your loft without the fear of going through the ceiling below.
2. Add lighting
This step sounds simple, but adding appropriate lighting to your loft can really maximise the use of your loft. The brighter your loft is, the more inclined you’ll want to use it as a feasible storage solution. If you don’t have the main electric wired into your loft, you can use battery powered LED lighting that is easy to install.
3. Use transparent storage boxes
Using transparent storage boxes is a great loft storage solution as they allow you to see what’s inside the box when you need to access something quickly. Plastic, medium sized storage boxes are best as they provide more protection than cardboard boxes and smaller boxes are easier to move around.
4. Store between the eaves and trusses
Maximise your storage space by storing items between the eaves and trusses. Use the slope to create storage in the areas- this can be shelves, cupboards and elevated ledges that sit in between the beams. This hack is a great loft storage solution as many people forget about the hard to reach space.
5. Organise your storage by seasons
One of the best loft storage solutions is to organise your items in groups. This can include seasonal occasions like christmas and halloween decorations, to summer and garden furniture. Labelling your boxes can also help you to find your items easier, especially when you’re in a hurry.
