One of the ways you can make the most of the space you have in your home without extending it upwards or outwards is to opt for a garage conversion. You may find that your garage is a space that you are not making the most of, simply using it for storage or as a utility room. There is so much potential for this space, whether you use it for working from home or pursuing hobbies or interests that you previously may not have had time for. Your garage can be converted in so many different ways into a much more usable space. Allow us to offer some ideas for how you can start utilising your garage space with a garage conversion.
Home office
With many of us spending more time working from home now, a home office has become almost essential to be able to focus and work effectively. Transforming your garage into a quiet space with a desk and computer can have numerous benefits. You can escape from your busy home into a properly insulated, peaceful space which will allow you to be just as productive as if you had commuted to the office. Your family can make full use of this space, using it for homework or study time and you can even incorporate a kitchenette or bathroom so that you don’t need to leave the room.
Home gym
Getting to the gym can often be the most difficult part of maintaining a healthy routine, so with a gym in your garage, you will have no excuses. Your garage can offer the ideal space for a treadmill, cross-trainer, or a set of weights so that you can work towards your fitness goals without having to step foot out the door. Simple changes such as installing rubber flooring and fitting a TV can put the finishing touches on your home gym space, making it suitable for you to spend more time working out.
Pursue your hobbies
The garage is a perfect additional space to use for you to pursue hobbies that may be unsuitable for other rooms of your home, or that you may have not previously had time for. Whether you want a space to spend more time on painting and DIY projects, a games room for the whole family to enjoy, or a peaceful library space to read and develop your knowledge, a garage conversion can become this multi-purpose space to dedicate more time to these activities.
Extend your kitchen
With a garage conversion, your options are not limited to creating a separate room. Why not use it to extend your existing living space. Knocking through your garage can allow you to create more open plan living, such as a spacious kitchen diner. You can create more space for you to spend family time, sitting down for a meal or using your kitchen as a more social space rather than just for cooking and washing dishes. Making the most of your previously underused garage to transform your kitchen can also add value and completely transform the space you have.
