Love Your New Space? Let’s Keep It That Way
So you’ve just completed your attic renovation—and it’s everything you hoped for (and then some). Maybe it’s your dream home office, your cosy guest suite, or the playroom that finally restored peace to your living room.
Whatever the transformation, one thing’s for sure: you want to keep it looking and feeling fabulous.
At The Irish Attic Company, our job doesn’t end when we hand over the keys. We’re here to help you protect your investment and enjoy your bespoke attic for years to come.
Here’s your expert guide to attic maintenance, style longevity, and small habits that make a big difference.
1. Regular Cleaning Without the Hassle
Attics are often out of sight, but now that yours is a fully functioning part of your home, it deserves the same care as your kitchen or lounge.
Our Top Cleaning Tips:
- Dust Weekly: Especially near skylights, sills, or built-in shelving
- Vacuum Soft Surfaces: Carpets, upholstery, and curtains collect dust quickly in upper-level spaces
- Wipe Down Windows: Skylights and dormers can show streaks fast—clean monthly for a bright, polished look
- Check for Moisture: Especially after heavy rain, inspect corners and walls to catch any early condensation
Pro tip: Keep a small cleaning kit upstairs—it makes touch-ups easier and more likely to happen.
2. Protect Your Bespoke Carpentry
We know how much thought you put into your built-in wardrobes, custom desks, or clever storage nooks. They’re not just furniture—they’re features.
Preserve Their Beauty By:
- Using coasters and mats on all surfaces
- Avoiding harsh chemicals—microfibre and gentle polish go a long way
- Checking for seasonal expansion or contraction in natural wood (we design for it, but it’s always wise to watch)
If anything ever seems off, give us a ring—we’re happy to inspect and adjust.
3. Light and Ventilation: Let the Room Breathe
Attics can be prone to stuffiness if not well-managed, but your renovation includes smart ventilation and insulation systems. Keep them working for you:
- Open skylights regularly, especially during warm months
- Use blinds or thermal curtains to protect furnishings from UV damage
- Clean vents every 3–6 months for proper airflow
- Switch to LED bulbs for lower heat and longer life
Fresh air = fresh energy. Don’t let your lovely new room feel stale.
4. Seasonal Checks and Touch-Ups
Each season brings its own challenges. A quick quarterly checklist helps you stay ahead:
Spring:
- Clean windows and air vents
- Touch up scuffed paint
- Check for signs of pests
Summer:
- Inspect for sun damage on floors or fabrics
- Check insulation effectiveness during heat
Autumn:
- Clean gutters near attic windows
- Ensure windows close tightly ahead of winter
Winter:
- Watch for condensation on cold days
- Ensure heating vents are clear and working
5. Furniture Placement & Flow
Especially in smaller or sloped attics, how you arrange your space can affect wear and tear. Consider:
- Avoid placing heavy furniture directly against walls or under slopes
- Use felt pads under all furniture feet
- Rotate rugs and floor coverings every few months
If your attic includes a sleeping space, rotate mattresses and fluff upholstery to avoid flattening over time.
Your attic should age like fine wine—not get tired before its time.
6. Smart Storage Keeps It Sleek
One of the best things about a TIAC attic is the seamless storage we build in—but even that needs a system.
To Keep It Organised:
- Store seasonally (winter bedding out of sight in summer, etc.)
- Label storage baskets or drawers
- Use vertical space smartly with hooks or floating shelves
And most importantly: resist the urge to let it become “just storage” again. Your attic is now a living, thriving part of your home.
7. Keep in Touch for Upgrades & Maintenance
Did you know your attic renovation includes:
- A 2-year warranty on all work and materials
- A completion guarantee (we’ll always finish within 6 weeks)
- Ongoing client support for tweaks, upgrades, or advice
We also offer exclusive loyalty discounts if you’re considering:

We’ve even helped returning clients turn attics into split-use spaces as their needs evolved. You’re never stuck with one layout forever.
