Design your loft with AI
Upload a photo of your loft as it is now, rafters, insulation and all, pick a style, and within half a minute you see the same space finished: slopes closed, a floor down, light along the ridge. This is the room where seeing it first helps most, because almost nobody looks at bare roof timbers and sees a bedroom. The roof windows, the ridge height, the stairwell and the pitch stay where they are, since those are what decide the possibilities. What you get is a mood image, not a structural drawing: whether the floor carries the load, whether you may add a dormer and how much standing height you end up with all stay work for a professional.
Loading the impression tool…
Honest about what this is: a mood impression that shows a direction, not an architectural drawing and not a quote. If you want measurements and figures, work through the loft conversion cost page; a loft has no planner here, because the shape of the roof sets the layout more than you do.
What to do next
- Work out what a loft conversion costs: with your own floor area and finish level, insulation and flooring included.
- Price the whole project: honest ranges for the building work, with a source and a date behind every figure.
- Check whether you need planning permission: a dormer or a new roof window is caught more often than people expect.
Also for the bathroom, the kitchen and the bedroom.
How the loft design AI works
An AI impression of your own room after the renovation: upload a photo, pick a style, and the chain keeps the room intact (windows, doors and fixtures stay in place) while rendering the new finish.
- Upload a photo of your room; it is stripped of location data, processed once and never used for training.
- Pick a style.
- Get the impression with watermark within about half a minute.
- Optionally place a product photo from a shop into the result to see it in your own room.
What you enter: A photo of your room and a style choice; optionally a product photo. What you get: A watermarked AI impression of your renovated room; a monthly number of impressions is free, no account needed.
Frequently asked questions
My loft is bare timber and insulation, does that even work?
That is exactly the case it is good at. The model is told to keep the pitch, the roof windows, the rafters and the stairwell, and to finish the rest: slopes closed, a floor in, lighting along the ridge. A bare loft actually gives a better result than a half-used one full of boxes, because there is less clutter to work around. Clear what moves easily before you take the photo.
Does it show whether I can stand up in there?
No, and for a loft that is the limitation that matters most. The image keeps the pitch from your photo, but it measures nothing and calculates no head height. Whether a bedroom or a bathroom fits under that roof is a question of measurements, not of mood. Measure the height at the ridge and a metre in from the knee walls, then work through the cost page with your own numbers.
Why is there a staircase in my impression that does not exist?
That can happen, and it is the best known quirk for lofts. A finished loft nearly always has a stairwell in what the model has seen, so when your photo does not show one it sometimes draws one in, usually with a balustrade around it. The reverse happens too: a staircase that is in the photo can end up running oddly past a roof window. It stays a mood image and not a floor plan, so look at the finish, the light and the colours rather than at where the stairs come out.
Can it add a dormer or a roof window?
No. The impression finishes the space in your photo and does not cut new openings into the roof. A dormer is a structural change that usually needs planning permission or has to fit permitted development, so it belongs in the cost and permission stage rather than in a mood image. That way you do not fall in love with a picture you are not allowed to build.
Can I not just do this myself with ChatGPT or Gemini?
You can, and sometimes that is fine. The difference sits in four things. One: this chain forces your room to stay intact; windows, doors and fixtures keep their place, where a bare AI model tends to redesign the space (in our own measurement the toilet consistently disappeared). Two: the image is tied to your numbers; the impression renders in the finish level of your calculation and takes your drawn layout along, so what you see belongs to what it costs. Three: your own tub, tile or cabinet front lands in the image reliably while the rest of the room stays put; try that in a chatbot and the room changes with it. Four: your photo is stripped of location data, processed once and never used for training; with a consumer chatbot that depends on your settings. If you just want a quick mood image that belongs to nothing, a chatbot is a fine tool.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The impression is free, with a fair daily limit, because every image costs real money with the AI provider and an unlimited free button would have to be switched off one day. No account, no email address.
What happens to my photo?
It is sent encrypted to the image model, processed once in memory and discarded straight after. Neither the photo nor the result is stored on a server. Location data that phone photos can contain is stripped before the photo leaves the server. Please do not upload photos with people in them; those are refused.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything on this site works without an account and without an email address, and this page is no exception.
