Converting a garage is becoming more and more popular with property owners. It’s a space that’s often tragically underutilized, and it has so much potential to offer. Working with one of the best specialists in garage conversions Essex has to offer, you will be able to transform the space and really add to your home.
Here are some of the most popular uses for a converted garage:
Home office
With more and more people working from home now, why not turn your garage into a home office? Whether you just need a space for a desk and a chair or you have grander plans in mind, having your own dedicated workspace will allow you to maintain an effective boundary between your work and personal life.
Hobb area
Do you have a hobby that’s slowly taking over any available space in your home? Then it’s time to put your garage to good use. Whether you’re going to use it for sewing, crafting, woodworking or something totally different, having a space just for that will help you to keep any supplies or mess contained in one area.
Expand your living space
Utilising your garage to create a big, open plan living space may seem like a left-field choice, but it can add so much room! If your garage backs on to your kitchen, you could knock through to give yourself the cooking and dining area you’ve always wanted – or, if the floor plan of your home suits this option better, double up on your living space.
Utility room
A utility room is becoming more and more popular in Essex homes, and it’s not hard to see why. You will be able to keep your laundry out of the way, and it’s also a great place to clean pets up or leave muddy footwear before moving through to the rest of the house. You could also add a downstairs WC for additional convenience.
A space for the kids
Whether you have young children or teenagers, their own play or relaxation area will help you to keep the rest of your home free of things such as toys and games consoles. It will also give them a space to have fun with their friends, giving you some much-needed peace, and them a sense of independence.
Spare bedroom
An extra bedroom is a major selling point for a home and can add an impressive amount of value to your property. Converting your garage into a bedroom also gives you a space for guests to stay in – and with an en-suite, you won’t have to share the family bathroom either. It’s a win-win all around!
Annexe
If you have a garage that’s separate from your house, you may be able to convert it into an annexe. This could open up so many possibilities for you – from being able to have an elderly relative live with you, or to let it out as holiday accommodation. The bigger the garage, the more possibilities.
