Room Report · First-floor terraces & loft conversions · Cardiff
Main bedrooms under sloped ceilings
Loft conversions in Roath often leave knee walls that waste floor area. Low-profile beds with drawers beneath sit tight to the eaves while wardrobe carcasses follow the pitch — a layout we sketch before any joiner quote.
Velux rooms need blackout layering: a recess-fit blind plus curtains on a ceiling track for late-summer light.
Shared rooms for growing children
Siblings in Cathays terraces frequently share a box room barely three metres wide. Parallel beds along the long wall beat bunk stacks that block the single window and darken the space.
Shared desks on a floating shelf free floor space for play mats when homework is finished.

Storage without blocking sash windows
Built-in wardrobes should stop short of window reveals so sashes open fully for fire egress. We prefer sliding doors in narrow rooms where hinged leaves would collide with bed corners.
Under-bed storage boxes on castors suit rental properties where fixed joinery is not permitted.
Calm palettes for sleep
Cardiff’s grey winter mornings invite warmer neutrals — stone, oatmeal, soft clay — rather than cool greys that feel flat under cloud cover. Accent colour belongs on one wall or in bedding, not all four surfaces.
Textile samples from our Churchill Way library help you judge tone under your own bedside lamp.
Guest rooms that double as study
A daybed with a proper mattress and a fold-down desk turns a spare room into usable workspace between visits. We specify widths that clear inward-opening doors common in Edwardian semis along Cyncoed Road.
Bedroom work is typically bundled in whole-home packages from £2,800 rather than standalone micro-commissions.
