Do you want to add usable living space to your home? A garage conversion allows you to do just that! By transforming your 2 or 3-car garage into a new room (or rooms) in your home, you can add valuable space, make your home more unique, and even boost your property value.
Keep reading to learn how garage conversions work and discover design ideas that are functional and stunning!
home gym
Making a home gym is one of the most popular garage conversion ideas. This is due to the fact that it is ideal for working out and that you can easily manage the temperature and ventilation. This is one location where you won’t necessarily need to remove the garage door, as you’ll want sufficient air movement while working out. Furthermore, you will not be annoying your neighbours!
Spare room
Another excellent use for your garage is to convert it into a spare room. If you find yourself hosting every family gathering but wish you had a little extra place for guests to stay in, this could be the ideal solution. Of course, you’ll need to check with your local council to see if you can use your garage for this purpose and what you need to do to get it ready for use.
Home office
Another popular choice is to set up a home office. If you work from home or frequently work on projects in the nights and on weekends, having your own dedicated workspace can make all the difference. It also means that you can keep your job and personal lives separate, which can be beneficial to your productivity and mental health.
Workshop/Craft Room
If you enjoy crafts or DIY projects, transforming your garage into a craft room or workshop is a fantastic idea. This way, you can keep all of your supplies on hand and avoid producing a mess in the house that needs to be cleaned up at the end of each day.
Kitchen Extension
If your garage is connected to your kitchen, knocking down the wall between them to make one larger family or kitchen/diner room is a fantastic idea. A roof lantern or a run of skylights may be used to increase the amount of light that enters the new area; this is a great method to flood the area with bright, natural light while also making it feel larger.
