How long were you stuck at home?

When the pandemic began, shelter in place, and stay at home orders affected over 310 million Americans. Now, as cases begin to climb in some states, social distancing restrictions are starting to ramp up nationwide. A lot of students are still learning virtually, and working remotely from home has become the norm.

When the entire family’s home all day, and night, things can get crowded fast. Luckily for you, we’ve created this guide all about what to do with a loft, so you can maximize your space! Loft spaces can transform into anything you want, as long as you know what you’re doing.

Read on to learn 5 awesome loft ideas.

1. Make a Music Room

Do you know how to play an instrument, or have you always wanted to learn? Loft spaces make wonderful music rooms, where you can spend hours jamming out! If you’re not already a musician, don’t worry.

Simply start with a few basic instruments that you and your household can enjoy making noise with. Maracas, hand drums, tambourines, if you can shake it or hit it and make a sound, it belongs in your music room!

2. Arts and Crafts Retreat

If you’re building a loft space, why not design it with an arts and crafts room in mind? Arts and crafts are a welcomed activity for families with younger children.

However, even if you don’t have small kids in the house, spending time drawing or coloring can be incredibly therapeutic. You can even create loft storage areas so you can store all of the arts and crafts supplies in the loft space.

3. Meditation Space

If you don’t know how to decorate a loft space, but you know you want to use it for something special, you might be ready for a meditation space. Meditation spaces don’t have to look fancy or have zen set up. Instead, all you really need is a comfortable rug you can sit on, and you’ll be good to go.

4. Dedicated Game Room

Video games are great, but having a game room makes them even better. Now the gamer in your house can have a spot where to play where people aren’t constantly walking in front of the screen. The non-gamers will also appreciate not having to fight for the downstairs television.

5. Home Library or Office

Last but not least, you can also transform your loft into your very own library. Line the walls with bookshelves, and fill them with books you’ve always wanted to read. We suggest you use soft LED lights to make your loft a prime reading spot. Throw a desk in there and now you have a home office too!
