Any tips you'd like to share?
We dormered the attic over our two car garage about 2 years ago for my new sewing studio. It is a lovely bright place to be creative. I received a lot of ideas from members of this board.
I worked directly with our contractor and electrician. I put plenty of LED lights, some recessed and some on strips that are adjustable. I had electrical plugs installed at different heights on walls, a couple in the floor in the middle of the room and a couple in the ceiling.
I have plenty of storage under the knee walls which would have been wasted space. I also chose LVP (luxury vinyl planking) flooring which is super easy to keep clean and durable.
Good luck, it’s very exciting to have a designated sewing space.
