Building a closet in an attic room.

The challenges of working with a sloped ceiling include hanging closet rods from sloped ceilings. This room was spacious enough and the walls were high enough so that custom organizers could be built that follow the angle of the roofline. Our solution in one of them was to build our own walk in closet which worked very very well. A bedroom dressing area and master bathroom.

There are many things to consider before undertaking the work. Turning an attic into a room can add value to your home and additional living space for your family. You gain tons of storage space by stealing a few feet from a room and building a new closet complete with double doors. In this case plan on removing the existing insulation on the floor of the attic under the closet area and adding insulation to the walls and ceiling of the closet as it is built.

Decide on the orientation of the closet. Any addition of natural daylight to an attic space or closet will make a big difference to the feel of the room but again don t forget about the energy factor. If you add a skylight be sure the space is equipped with both heating and cooling systems as a skylight can affect temperature. A tall rod for dresses and coats needs to be mounted 60 to 70 inches high.

Be sure to keep in mind headroom storage needs and standard closet allowances. Order built in under the eaves compartments and drawers for clothes and shoes. Make wall mounted boxes and shelves to fit under the roof. Attic spaces are amazing for creating a walk in closet and you will easily accommodate all your things there.

Finally you ll have room enough for that mound of shoes the clothes packed on closet rods and the pile of boxes. Many older homes were built with steep pitched roofs and plenty of available height that makes attic conversion easy and inexpensive. If you find you don t have sufficient closet space an attic could be perfect for creating the ultimate closet. This attic was divided into three zones.

If you add a bathroom to the attic you can create a luxurious dressing area. To give the bathroom a spa like feel luxe features were added like a soaker tub a frameless shower enclosure a new toilet complete with heated seat and led lights marble and glass mosaic tiles and a crystal chandelier.
