A common inquiry we get from people considering a new modular home build centers around the possibility of adding a loft. When envisioning your dream home, modular homes with a loft offer an appealing combination of style, practicality, and functional use. Adding a loft to your modular home plans can elevate it into a stunning, contemporary living space, combining both aesthetic charm and practical advantages homeowners love.
Lofts are Beautiful & Modern
Lofts offer a modern look to any home. Modular homes with a loft often feature sleek, contemporary designs using staircases, railings, windows, and high ceilings. A loft creates a striking visual element, adding architectural interest and sophistication to the home’s interior available through our modular home options at Excelsior Homes. The open nature of lofts can make the entire home feel more spacious and airy, contributing to a modern, minimalist feel that makes them so popular.
Natural light always draws people to consider lofts. One of the most compelling reasons to include a loft in your modular home is the increased opportunity for natural light. The elevated position of a loft allows for more windows higher window placement, and/or larger windows. This floods the space with sunlight, creating a bright and welcoming element. Natural light enhances the beauty of a home’s interior, highlighting its design features and making the space feel more expansive and inviting.
Who doesn’t love high ceilings that typically accompany lofts? Higher ceilings contribute to a sense of openness and ample space. Everything appears larger with the addition of a loft. You get an upscale ambiance that maximizes vertical space without increasing the square footage.
Lofts are Practical & Versatile
The space beneath the loft can remain open, preserving the flow and openness of the lower level while providing additional functionality above. Common uses for additional lofted space include some of the following:
- Versatile Extra Space: From extra storage space to everyday use, lofts are very versatile in how they can be used.
