When was the last time you walked into your garage for any other reason than to dump rubbish or to park the car? The garage takes up quite a lot of land for most people, especially if it’s a double garage. If you don’t mind parking your car on the driveway, or you don’t have a car at all, you might try and think of all the other ways that you can fix up your garage to make it look good.
When changing your garage for something that you use for a car or for storage into something practical and fun, you need to speak to a good garage door company first. If you don’t want to park the car in there anymore, you may need to remove your roller door and see what other options there are. The good news is that there are plenty of different ways that you can change your garage and convert it into something comfortable and homely. You might find yourself knocking down some of the internal walls or repositioning them, and this is going to help you to maximize your extra square footage. Here are some of the fun ways that you can transform your garage.
- Create a home office. If you are looking to permanently work from home, but you don’t have the rooms inside the house to create an office, you might think about how you can use your garage as an office instead. You can make it insulated so that it is comfortable, soundproof and warmer, and you can ensure that you have enough space for all of your furniture, a sofa or even a table and chairs in there to be comfortable in your office.
- You can turn it into a hobby room. Do you like to build things, or paint things? So many people have amazing hobbies but they have nowhere to store their equipment, that art, or even the Lego once it’s been created. Having a dedicated hobby room is such a useful thing to have, plus it can act as a retreat for you when you just need five minutes to breathe.
- Use the space for an extension. If you have internal walls that you are happy to remove, what about extending the garage into a bigger lounge, or an even bigger kitchen? If the garage is adjacent to the kitchen you could knock out the wall and create one larger family kitchen or kitchen diner. It also means you have more fun having to plan a brand-new and fancy kitchen for yourself.
- Make up a utility room. Picture it now: washer, dryer, ironing space, workbench, pantry storage, space for a second refrigerator – the options are endless with a second pantry room in the house. If you have a utility room it’s an excellent way to be able to keep all of the clutter of laundry outside and out of mind.
You can do so much with a garage conversion. What will you choose for your home?
