Please enjoy this guest post and infographic from The Zebra about garage conversion ideas that will help you make the most of your space.
Stacked high with the kid’s bicycles, miscellaneous gardening gloves, and last year’s Christmas wrapping paper, your garage has seen it all. It might be hard to picture your garage any other way, but have you ever considered turning your garage into the dream room you have always wanted?
Let your imagination and creativity run wild. There are endless possibilities that your empty garage can offer you, and it all starts with what you would like your room to accomplish. From a yoga studio to a cozy hangout, here are five ideas on how to remodel your garage into a space that you and your family will love.
Build a garage kitchen
What would be better than a kitchen just a few steps away from the outdoor grill during the family barbecue? There are a ton of advantages to having a kitchen away from the kitchen. By adding your favorite appliances, a stovetop, an oven, and a sink, you can accomplish all of your culinary goals. Add all your stray appliances that otherwise wouldn’t fit in your other kitchen and get to cooking!
Construct a guest bedroom
Enjoy entertaining and having events at the house? Now your friends and family have a place to crash other than the couch! A guest bedroom can provide privacy and comfort to visiting loved ones. By installing walls, a door, comfortable furniture, and a bed, your guests will be begging to spend the night. You could even rent out this space and earn income from visitors. With a few inviting decorations and home maintenance, you’ll get a return on your investment?
Add a personal gym
Adding in a personal gym has a ton of health and fitness benefits. Plus, now you’ll have some space to yourself while you do your at-home workouts. Purchasing an elliptical, treadmill, exercise bike, or any other fitness machine will give you the freedom to be active in your own home. Although it may seem pricey at first, you’ll be dodging expensive gym membership fees in the long run. Hand weights and a full-length mirror will help you stay motivated and fit.
Build an office
If you’re working remotely and you’ve been struggling to stay productive and finish tasks, creating an at-home office in your garage is a great opportunity to get back on track. By cleaning up the space, adding a desk, and using a comfortable chair, your time spent “at work” will fly by. You might want to consider purchasing a Wifi extender to improve your internet connection or look into other internet amenities. With an office just steps away, you’ll feel confident without household distractions.
