For most of us, a loft conversion is an opportunity to expand living space in order to make our homes that little bit more functional, comfortable and in most cases, valuable. Even a bit of extra room for storage can mean a world of difference.

Then there are remodels that make you want to rethink your entire perception of what a loft conversion can achieve. So without further ado, here’s 3 of the most extraordinary expansions of space we’ve seen this week. Warning, you might get a little bit jealous.

There may not be any red carpet down, but this attic-come-home-cinema is perfect for a late screening of your favourite blockbuster. Every inch of this remodel has been carefully thought out, right down to the stylish lighting, turning a previously unused space into something magical and immersive. It’s a far cry from your typical conversion, everything here is tighter, darker, with much less room to utilise, but that’s precisely why this cinema room works so well.

Most of what makes this bedroom so extraordinary is the masterful use of light coming in through those gorgeous windows. Everything else is pretty minimal, even the choice of colours has been kept to a simple two-tone composition. And that’s why we love this conversion. Everything is so simple and stripped back. There’s no clutter, no distraction, and the entire layout looks deceptively lax - when clearly a lot of love and hard work has been poured into it.

Another spectacular bedroom, with even more abundance of light, this time coming in through that heavenly skylight just off-centre. It’s no surprise this remodel took place in one of the wealthiest areas of central London, everything about the room is exquisite. Most notable is the striking contrast between the exposed brick and the softer, smoother shades of cream throughout the rest of the room. Very contemporary.
