so what can I insulate it with ? would it work ??

I don't think I'd consider using a loft as storage for foodstuffs without being absolutely certain I could control the temperature adequately. For other stores yes but not food.

You of course, know your own situation best but this is what I've been thinking about recently.

I too, have limited space and until we move, as we must in a couple of months, no stockpiling. Then, the situation may be the same or perhaps worse but I have been considering it. I believe I can:

Make the bottom drawer of every dressing table/chest of drawers available by getting rid of unnecessary clutter (the drawers may need to be strengthened and this one may meet some wifely resistance - she is not on-side - yet!),

Utilise the space under bottom drawers of the same furniture,

Use the 'dead' space in the bottom of wardrobes by putting in small cabinets with doors or drawers (shoes can go on top),

Use the lower sections of any alcoves in the same way,

Fill suitcases and put them in their 'usual' places, on top of wardrobes/under beds,

Adapt under-stairs cupboard to serve as a pantry.

I'm quite sure these and many more have been thought of and written about many times over but they are just some of the ways I intend to make the most use of whatever limited space we may have available. I hope it helps...
