Playing to the gallery Put overhead space to good use by creating an extra level. It’s a clever way of expanding your home without increasing its footprint
If you have extra-high ceilings or an unused loft, it might be possible to create a whole new room by converting this overhead space into a mezzanine. This is an intermediate floor that slots in between two storeys, or between the upper storey and the roof. It can be a simple, lightweight structure, or something more solid and multifunctional. Either way, it will help maximise the floor area in a new-build or renovation, creating extra room for a spare bedroom or home office.
