#5 Attic Conversion: estimated ROI 60% - 70%

This can vary based on the complexity of the conversion and whether it adds significant square footage to the home.



Residential attic remodel trends focus on converting underutilized attic spaces into functional and stylish areas that add value and livability to the home. Here are some popular attic remodel trends:


  1. Bedrooms and Guest Suites: Adding bedrooms or bathrooms is a sure-fire way to bump up the market value of your home. Converting the attic into additional bedrooms or guest suites is a popular trend, providing extra living space for family members or guests.

  2. Home Offices: “Working from home” is no longer a trend, but a way of life. Creating a home office or study area in the attic with built-in desks, storage solutions, and ergonomic furniture supports remote work and productivity.

  3. Playrooms: Isolate the Barbies, arts & crafts, and Legos to help keep things organized. Designing a playroom in the attic with child-friendly features, storage for toys, and creative play areas provides a dedicated space for children to play and learn.

  4. Entertainment Spaces: Transforming the attic into an entertainment space with a media center, game room, or home theater creates a cozy and inviting area for leisure activities.

  5. Reading Nooks: Incorporating cozy reading nooks with built-in bookshelves, comfortable seating, and natural light enhances the attic's charm and encourages relaxation.

  6. Craft Rooms: Designing a craft or hobby room in the attic with ample storage for supplies, work surfaces, and organization systems allows for creative pursuits.

  7. Fitness Areas: Bank the gym membership and make good on your new year’s resolutions. Creating a fitness area in the attic with exercise equipment, yoga mats, and storage for workout gear promotes health and wellness at home.

  8. Multi-Functional Spaces: Designing multi-functional attic spaces that can serve multiple purposes, such as a combination of a guest bedroom with a home office or a playroom with a reading nook, maximizes the use of the area.

  9. Natural Light: Maximizing natural light in the attic through skylights, dormer windows, or large windows helps brighten the space and makes it feel more open and airier.

  10. Storage Solutions: Scary and cluttered attic? Incorporating creative storage solutions such as built-in cabinets, closets, shelving units, and hidden storage compartments maximizes space efficiency and reduces clutter.

  11. Design and Decor: Incorporating stylish design elements such as modern finishes, neutral color palettes, accent walls, decorative lighting fixtures, and comfortable furnishings enhances the overall aesthetic and comfort of the attic.

These trends can be customized to suit the specific needs, preferences, and budget of homeowners, creating a personalized and functional attic space that adds value and enjoyment to the home. Working with experienced contractors and designers can help bring these trends to life in a successful attic remodel project.
