This is a common question and the answer entirely depends on what your needs and requirements are.<\/p>\n
If keeping to a budget<\/strong> is your main priority, you can keep your chimney breast and swerve structural costs. Instead of removing your chimney, use the design as an innovative means for storage like the image below. With this design, you can give the impression of one uninterrupted wall with a neat storage facility.<\/p>\n If space <\/strong>is your main concern, consider removing your chimney stack and maximising your room size. With the removal of the chimney stack you have more flexibility for the position of your furnishings. Have a look at the image below, in which the dotted line demonstrates the removed stack and the newly vacant space for the bed and alternative furnishing.<\/p>\n Is adding an ensuite a good idea?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n It is always useful to have a bathroom close to a bedroom, or at least on the same floor. It is also a great investment in terms of adding value onto your property as a house with two bathrooms is a common request from buyers. If you are concerned about the space then it\u2019s worth opting for a shower or wet room, or simply a WC that will require even less space.<\/p>\n Why is a loft conversion a good idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n When the right roof lighting or windows are selected, a loft conversion<\/a> can be a great area for natural light. This beautifully lit place doesn\u2019t have to be a bedroom and can be a play area for the kids, an office or library space, a leisure room \u2013 your options are endless.<\/p>\n![\"keep](\"http:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/keep-chimney-breast.jpg\")
