Garages are no longer just for storage, cars and that old junk you don’t know what to do with. Homeowners all over the world are creating exciting and practical spaces instead of the conventional vehicle storage. From home gyms to workshops, homeowners are pulling out all the stops to transform their garage into a creative area. For whatever reason, you may find yourself restricted for space, and the answer could be right on your doorstep…literally. In your garage!
1.From Carers to Chauffeurs Apartment
Some situations call for an extra hand in the home. Whether a cleaner, carer, driver or an extra family member staying for a while, sometimes your current space just isn’t enough. Especially when they are not family or even a carer, an ‘outhouse’ or a space not in the home would be a dream, right? Well, your garage could be the answer to all your space problems. By utilising this room, your helper could have their own space to do work, or keep their supplies while taking care of your loved one.
2. Mighty Microhome
As with any garage, yours probably doesn’t have heating or plumbing, but once you’ve dealt with this, you have the basis for a micro-home or a duplex! If your kids have graduated but you’re sick of them, their dirty pots and unwashed clothes, your garage is the answer! You could give them the garage as their own personal space and even put a washing machine in there, so they can do all their chores themselves. If your garage is a separate entity from your house, you could even give it a second floor and turn it into a two-floored property!
3.Playing Around!
Children can be a lot to handle sometimes, especially in the summer holidays, and even worse when it’s raining. What do you do with excited, energetic and bored kids? Put them in the garage! Obviously after you have transformed it into a haven of toys, teddies and fun. The garage can be a multipurpose space, engaging the entire family in creative and physical play and activities. The space could allow anything from painting on canvases to rollerblading and could even hold swinging ropes and monkey bars. Plenty of space for entertainment and mess!
Summer Celebrations
Summer is one of the most exciting seasons, and is certainly the time to get out in the garden and enjoy the space with family and friends. This might mean people staying over or a place to keep BBQ supplies and beverages. By transforming your garage into a summer house, you could have a space for you and the family to kick back and relax, and if the rain makes an appearance, the party can continue! When you don’t particularly want muddy feet and many people nipping in your house for party supplies, your newly transformed garage turned summer house is the perfect solution.
And Relax…
Life can sometimes be stressful, tiring and busy. And coming home to cooking tea, chores and dealing with more work or children probably won’t help any of the above. A space to call your own would be nice, right? Ever thought about transforming your garage into your own personal hub for you and your hobbies?
This space could be the perfect place to keep your painting equipment, your home gym, or even your PC and office space. Whether you are a blogger, an artist, a body builder, or a mum that just needs a place to read a book and have a glass of wine at night, your garage could be the answer.
