When it comes to attic conversions, there are a wide range of lighting options available, from Velux windows to accent lighting. Whatever your style preferences or requirements, these options can help your space feel bright and vibrant:
As a company offering bespoke loft conversion planning services, when you choose Econoloft for your project, you have the assurance of knowing all natural and artificial lighting solutions will be considered and incorporated during planning stages. This ensures flawless implementation and cohesion with other aspects of your conversion, such as steelwork, which we also provide in our role as steel suppliers.
Maximise Natural Light
Loft conversions are ideal for maximising natural light. As well as making the room bright and airy, this also helps homeowners in Maidstone save money by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the daytime. To make the most of natural light, our loft conversion specialists recommend:
-
Window Placement – Thoughtful window placement ensures sunlight enters your loft extension throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky.
-
Dormer Windows – A dormer conversion is an excellent way to let more light into the space because the structure allows for full size windows.
-
Velux Windows – Velux windows are a hugely popular option for attic conversions in Maidstone because their design allows plenty of light to beam into your loft. Velux windows come in various shapes and sizes to suit all projects and we can even install multiple windows on a single roof facing.
-
As a Velux approved installer, our loft conversion company recommends the best setup to maximise light with Velux windows and we ensure a professional, high-quality installation.
-
Balconies – If suitable, consider adding a balcony or Juliet balcony to your loft extension. French doors will let in as much natural light as possible and allow plenty of fresh air in during the summer.

Choose the Right Artificial Lighting
It is just as important to think about artificial lighting for loft conversions because once the sun sets you will be dependent on electricity to light the space. In addition, lighting can make all the difference to the look and feel of your conversion, such as by brightening dark corners or highlighting features.
To ensure customers in Maidstone have a space they can use comfortably at any time, it is important to consider the following:
-
Low Ceilings – Many attic conversions have lower or slanted ceilings, so it is important to choose lights that won’t get in the way and that will light every area. For this, our loft conversion specialists suggest LED downlights that sit flush with the plaster and create an even, shadow-free light.
-
Ambient, Accent & Task Lighting – An effective lighting setup combines different types of lighting to create a welcoming space you can use exactly as you need. To achieve this, it is important to think about how you plan to use your conversion in Maidstone and the lighting this requires. As an experienced loft conversion company, Econoloft helps customers find the perfect lighting for every space and requirement.
Ambient lighting provides overall light and sets the tone of the room, accent lighting creates focal points and draws attention to certain features, and task lighting helps you carry out specific tasks comfortably, such as reading, crafts or studying.
From loft conversion planning to the installation of lighting, Econoloft works to your needs and preferences. But remember, our services don’t stop at lighting; we offer complete loft conversion solutions and work as steel suppliers, providing columns, beams and a wide range of other steels to various clients in the UK.
