Such a beautiful job. For the aircon cupboard I think I would have built it down to have open shelving underneath, to make it look intensional. Really love Grey's little hiding space 💛
Yes, we thought about doing this but I changed my mind last minute as I love the floor space below it and didn't want anything too bulky, it's also VERY close to the windows and curtains. I also worried as one day this might be a bedroom and I'd want a bedside table below it. It's maybe something we will do in the future.
I was also thinking if maybe the aircon cabinet was in the tunnel groove and French Grey, same as the cupboards, with the same handels it could look more like an intentional cupboard-space? 🤗 The space looks amazing either way though 😍
The air con bit you don't like now, you'll love it in the next few months! That will be the only room you wanna be in, you'll get the whole family up there when it's hot. Good choice! Aestheticly, it's not that bad! You hid it very well!
The loft looks amazing! I'm in Australia and grew up in the north where aircon is basically a necessity, it had never occurred to me that people might feel worried about how they look and want to hide them away - so used to seeing them they don't stick out to me at all! You've done such an incredible job on the space, well done!
American who feels the same! Those wall ones aren’t bad at all. The window ones are the worst (ugliest and loudest), but it’s always better than no air conditioning. Central air reigns supreme (if you need it).
Hahahaha same here, my parents live in a really hot city in Mexico and they’re just there... everyone is used to them houses are planned to have them in the wall 😅
Been looking forward to this video, and it really didn’t disappoint. You must be so proud, it has turned out beautiful - and so practical. I’d love to see what it looks like from the outside, with that big window, and your existing doors downstairs!
Fab loft conversion Lily, the hidden storage is a genius idea! So many places have very little storage - impressive. Your children are going to love hiding up there! (-: (-:
Lilly it's like old times, renovation content, love it. The loft is beautiful, some lovely pieces, fell in love with the foot stool, but oh the price!! X
The loft is beautiful! The colors you chose are perfect. It is modern yet cozy. I think you will be so glad to have the air con this summer. The loft will be a refuge. Well done!
The space is gorgeous and planned out so well! Love the colours and the feel of the room. I‘ll take some notes for future reno projects - thank you for sharing!
ok, i dont normally watch or care about house rennos or house tours, but i needed some lily in my life this morning, and.....seriously this is so cool! the stirage and little hideaway behind the cubboards is so cool and the kids will LOVE that! very cool
This reminded me how much I have always LOVED your home content. In a dream world, I would buy a house identical to Anna's and then get you and Victoria Magrath to do the interior design. The stress was worth it, you really made the most of this conversion. 🤗
It turned out beautifully, Lily! You have lived through the horror of a renovation, and have created your dream home for now 😁. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing it with us.
It's really such a lovely room. I wouldn't even say that the Aircon is a mistake. Yes, it's a box, but it's not glaring at all. Plus, I used to sleep in a loft conversion for years too, and comfort over style always
Love to see you loving your new space. I think you've done so much with a small space to make it feel cosy, but bigger than it is - great job! And the sunlight is just gorgeous that you get in there!!
Your renovation/addition is beautiful. There is so much attention to detail and every inch of space has been laid out in such a thoughtful manner. Love the bathroom tiles and the the window casings as well.
Yay, I’ve been waiting for this video! The loft looks great. It’s been lovely following the renovation journey. And you’ve got such a good eye for combining the green colour with the warm accents and touches of wood - it all works so well together. Thanks for sharing this with us, Lily.
With the aircon, maybe but a couple more shelves unterneath and style them nicely to make it look a little less like a box randomly put on the wall but a shelve that is half closed half open?:) but to be honest, it is not horrible at the monent, function over form! amazing loft
Extraordinarily lovely! Beautiful! Your choices, your combined tastes as a couple, are really commendable but this, when you were pregnant and couldn’t even visit, and had to endure all the clatter and bang… wow, really stupendous effort from both of you, and excellent contractors!
Beautiful conversion - I'm always amazed at how quickly building projects come together in the UK. Projects like this seem to take forever here in the US - at least double the time.My next door neighbor had a bathroom conversion done - just new fixtures and flooring - and it took a year! No walls came down, just replacing things!
Wow!!!! Absolutely stunning loft conversion. You have totally excelled yourself. I love everything that you have done, from the style, colour choices, furniture, lamp and lampshades....I could go on. It's breath takingly gorgeous and so perfect. Well done to you both. Yes please, i would love you to do a video on a more in-depth chat about the bathroom and anything else you feel you want to mention about the rest of the renovation. Thank you for sharing.
Lily, you're so thorough! The velux windows look so nice and so easy to use. I looove the cool lamp shade! And the bathroom is so cute! The aircon thing isn't ideal, but I have a feeling you won't mind as much when it's summer time. We have mini splits in our rooms, just out there, and I basically forget they're there. What a great new space!
Your loft is absolutely Beautiful and you did an amazing job with every little detail so spot on!!! You have a very distinct eye for contrast that adds the right touch when in doubt. You utilized every inch so well. Thanks for sharing with us. btw your hair looks beautiful ....so healthy!!
GORGEOUS, Lily! Not just beautiful but also functional - all the best spaces are that :) Thank you for sharing this with us! Would love to see an image of the back of the house now - I suspect it looks quite spectacular with the full-sized windows from the kitchen and now the loft!
Hey Lily 🤗 absolutely love the loft space it really does look amazing. The cupboard space is really clever and I love the big window. I don’t think the air con cupboard looks that bad - it’s just such a beautiful space. Really well done 🥰 xxx
God I love your choice of flooring, I never considered putting "dark" woods but it had so much character to the room! I also love your choice of putting your desk in the corner, it seems really cozy. You did a great job :)
Lovely space! It looks great 😍 I think a shorter wider plant and lamp under the Aircon box would help as at the moment they are both drawing your eye up towards it
Looks great! Would be interesting to know how long the project took from initial drawings to the building work & decorating being finished? And how long were the builders in the house for? I'd also be really interested in seeing a video broken down of the process of getting the loft conversion. Like do you approach an architect first or builders? And what are the steps along the way? Thanks! X
ok let me try break it down here... We reached out to an architect in January 2021. At the same time we checked our builder was available for the project. Confirmed architects services in March 2021. Drawings done in April 2021 (and any council submissions needed - depends on borough and what you're building). Builders started work in August 2021. Majority of the build is done from the outside of the house with scaffolding. We paid extra for a roof on it so work could continue in the rain. They only came into the house for the last few weeks once the windows were fitted and they couldn't access it from the scaffolding. Loft was finished end of November 2021. Took a bit longer than it would normally for various reasons. Watch my Vlogs for the process. Hope that helps!
Loved hearing all the details and absolutely want to hear more about the bathroom! It's gorgeous, I hope you get to relax and enjoy the space. It's really well thought out
You’ve done such a beautiful job on this, just like the rest of your house. It’s so light and bright and so multifunctional like you say. A great space to do so much, a lot of your recent pics and reels have here and you can tell it’s reignited your creativity. The air con doesn’t look too bad, I think it’s disguised well. Bravo on another great job!! 👏🏻👏🏻💕
Love the loft Lily! I like that it has character but still bright and classy. You've maximized the space so well! Don't worry about the AC, you'll probably thank yourself when it's summer :D
I work for a loft conversion company. It certainly looks a quality build. The choice of colours flow perfectly.I particularly like the black staircase. Benjamin Moore have a superb colour range, and better quality than rival designer pants IMO. One other point is you can get remote control Velux windows for temperature control and hard to reach windows.
I love it! Currently in the process of remodelling our attic space, with a 11 week old in tow (started as just doing up his room during my pregnancy but decided to do it all). Love a bit of decor inspiration
The loft turned out beautiful! Love the long mirror! Paint choices are perfect. Very creative with all the storage. Also you look great! Your hair is so pretty and healthy looking. Anyway, love your style 💞
I love your loft conversion. It turned out so beautifully! Those shower tiles are gorgeous. Would be great if you and Rich did a renovation Q&A sometime now that you have done so much and can reflect back on it.
Finding a comfortable sofa bed is such a difficult task. They often tend to be far too small as well. How are two adults supposed to fit on a bed that is 180 cm long and 100 cm wide? You did a wonderful job on the renovation! It looks so good!
Wow!! After seeing the little snippets on Instagram all come together in this video; it really just turned out so lovely! Suuuch a gorgeous colour palette. I’m just getting an itch to redesign all my interiors now 😅 such a warm, yet modern, ambiance. Well done!
Wow what a gorgeous and versatile space. Well worth the wait. I definitely think you don’t need to be worried about the AC. I guess they are common in my country so it doesn’t really disturb the aesthetics or interior design of a room down in Australia. I assume that box is the delay you spoke of on IG? Haha well as long as it’s what you wanted. You definitely won’t be regretting it come the heat waves.
Love how excited you are about the loft ❤️ It's gorgeous. Love everything about it (including the concealed aircon 😉) So much thought went into every detail - both aesthetically and with a long term view. I love it!
Loved this! Currently doing a slow-burn reno and our bathroom is next. Would be great to see a video on how you designed and planned the ensuite in more detail. It’s gorgeous. I have no idea and bathrooms seem so permanent.
Love the loft tour! Been waiting for this video and definitely didn’t disappoint. Would love a bathroom video with any more you have to say on that, love the colour in there. Beautiful job!!
Unrelated, but your hair looks georgous in this video!! Amazing tour, very to the point, but with full explanation of your thinking process behind each choice. Absolutely fine this cabinet for aircon, looks like one of those modern ikea cupboards. Not a fan of the sliding doors, as they don't hold noise enough, but I understand why you had to go for them x
Such a beautiful job. For the aircon cupboard I think I would have built it down to have open shelving underneath, to make it look intensional. Really love Grey's little hiding space 💛
such a great idea!!
Great idea! I thought it was there for extra storage initially but building it down with shelves would make it look intentional.
Yes, we thought about doing this but I changed my mind last minute as I love the floor space below it and didn't want anything too bulky, it's also VERY close to the windows and curtains. I also worried as one day this might be a bedroom and I'd want a bedside table below it. It's maybe something we will do in the future.

Aestheticly, it's not that bad! You hid it very well!
I totally agree! You will love it during summer!
Yeh I'm glad we did it, just a shame it had to go on that wall, lol
It doesn’t look bad whatsoever - tasteful actually! And worth it.

The loft is gorgeous! You have such a great eye for interior design. The air-cond unit doesn't stick out as well, don't worry.
It's so sooo beautiful, Lily! And I love how convenient and practical everything seems to be. Enjoy it!
This turned out so beautiful but functional as well - love it!
Wow! Love this space! The storage is especially mind-blowing, what a great move.
It's really such a lovely room. I wouldn't even say that the Aircon is a mistake. Yes, it's a box, but it's not glaring at all. Plus, I used to sleep in a loft conversion for years too, and comfort over style always
So so beautiful! Love every little detail.
Taken a few inspos for our bedroom redecoration so thank you!! X
Love to see you loving your new space. I think you've done so much with a small space to make it feel cosy, but bigger than it is - great job! And the sunlight is just gorgeous that you get in there!!
It's so beautiful, bright and spacious. Love seeing the joy on yourself face. It's like when your are if Grey does something. Proud mama xx
This looks gorgeous! You can tell how much you’ve thought through every detail, it all ties together so well. Gorgeous space 😍
Your renovation/addition is beautiful. There is so much attention to detail and every inch of space has been laid out in such a thoughtful manner. Love the bathroom tiles and the the window casings as well.
Love this! The colour on the cupboards is perfect, and the hidden storage too! You’ve done a great job xx
The room looks great and definitely a cozy spot. I love all the hidden storage and your AC unit cover looks like more storage and not an eyesore.
It turned out so lovely! Somehow I missed this final reveal!
LOVE IT!! That rug is absolute goals. Thank you for the tour, so helpful!
It's GORGEOUS! What an absolute game changer for your home and family.
The loft looks absolutely gorgeous!

Such a beautiful job! love the green/beige colors - it looks so calm and cozy at the same time
Fantastic Lily 👏 well done!! What an incredible use of space!! Ticks all the boxes!!
The nicest conversion ive seen so far in uk..looks great workmanship.beautiful finishes and choices of materials.use of space excellent👍
Awesome idea for storage and the corner work place Lilly
Extraordinarily lovely! Beautiful! Your choices, your combined tastes as a couple, are really commendable but this, when you were pregnant and couldn’t even visit, and had to endure all the clatter and bang… wow, really stupendous effort from both of you, and excellent contractors!

Love it!!! I can't believe you did a renovation with a toddler and while pregnant! Well done!
Love this room it's so gorgeous. The colours and textures really compliment each other and I think you have nailed it!
Omg I love it! All the colours you have chosen work so well together. I totally know what you mean; it makes me want to re-do my whole house!! Xxx
Love it!!! Also love how excited you are about how well it turned out. 🙂
You’ve done such a beautiful job designing this Lily!!
Wow!!!! Absolutely stunning loft conversion. You have totally excelled yourself. I love everything that you have done, from the style, colour choices, furniture, lamp and lampshades....I could go on. It's breath takingly gorgeous and so perfect. Well done to you both.
Yes please, i would love you to do a video on a more in-depth chat about the bathroom and anything else you feel you want to mention about the rest of the renovation. Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous! Such a beautiful space.
Wow you must be so pleased with this! The storage is incredible, it’s so well thought out💕
What a beautiful space Lily! I love that green colour with the oatmeal wall colour.
GORGEOUS, Lily! Not just beautiful but also functional - all the best spaces are that :) Thank you for sharing this with us! Would love to see an image of the back of the house now - I suspect it looks quite spectacular with the full-sized windows from the kitchen and now the loft!
Oh my gosh I loved it all!! Such a zen vibe! Loving your real life content atm Lily!
Hey Lily 🤗 absolutely love the loft space it really does look amazing. The cupboard space is really clever and I love the big window. I don’t think the air con cupboard looks that bad - it’s just such a beautiful space. Really well done 🥰 xxx
I have been waiting for this... and I LOVE it! The cupboard spot for Grey is magical!
The storage wall is genius!
God I love your choice of flooring, I never considered putting "dark" woods but it had so much character to the room! I also love your choice of putting your desk in the corner, it seems really cozy. You did a great job :)
Love it all, esp the crawl space, wish i had that for storage.So much light coming in too ❤️
Lovely space! It looks great 😍 I think a shorter wider plant and lamp under the Aircon box would help as at the moment they are both drawing your eye up towards it
I wish other people would hire you for renovations and you would document it, because you’re very talented and it’s so fun to watch!
It looks lovely. Love the textured bathroom tile, and how much natural light you get in the space. Seems very cozy and peaceful.
Looks great! Would be interesting to know how long the project took from initial drawings to the building work & decorating being finished? And how long were the builders in the house for?

Beautiful loft space, so well designed & lovingly decorated! You will not regret the air con unit, barely noticeable on wall 👏
Love it! I could hear the delight in your voice as you took us on the tour. Magic storage space was my absolute fave! So well done! 🥰

LOVEEEEEEEE! Absolutely stunning and calming. Always have amazing taste yet logical reasons for all your design decisions. Have a great day Lily! xx
Wooow. I love the outcome, you did great! More renovation vids please ☺🙃
I love it so much! I don’t think the air con looks bad at all! X
Love and so many great tips!
Loved this! Currently doing a slow-burn reno and our bathroom is next. Would be great to see a video on how you designed and planned the ensuite in more detail. It’s gorgeous.
I have no idea and bathrooms seem so permanent.
I really like the cupboard color! The sage green is so pretty!
Love the loft tour! Been waiting for this video and definitely didn’t disappoint. Would love a bathroom video with any more you have to say on that, love the colour in there. Beautiful job!!
