Create a home office garage conversion

Your garage could be the ideal space for a home office. If you work from home and need a dedicated area to work without distraction, it’s worth considering converting your garage. A single garage will offer roughly 15m2 of floor space, which is more than enough for an office. A double garage offers around 30m2, allowing you to add an office with a toilet or storage area if required. At High & Dry, we can create a bespoke office that meets your needs perfectly. 

Add a home gym

More and more people are choosing to convert their garages into home gyms. The process is a relatively straightforward task, requiring minimal construction to achieve a stylish and practical space for exercise. Having said this, there’s more to consider than simply setting up your fitness equipment. You’ll also need to take into the flooring, lighting and electrics when converting your garage into a home gym. Rather than carrying out the work yourself, put the job in the hands of an experienced garage conversion specialist. 

Upgrade movie night with a cinema room 

A garage can be converted into the ultimate home cinema. Dark, spacious and separate from the rest of the house, it provides the perfect space to enjoy the latest blockbuster without venturing to your local movie theatre. Add some plush cinema-style seats and a great projector, screen and surround sound system and you’ll have the ultimate home cinema that’s sure to make you the talk of your street. Movie night will never be the same again!

Extend your kitchen

If you’d love to extend your kitchen but think you don’t have the space, why not consider a garage conversion? Converting your garage means you can increase your property’s usable living space without altering its layout. If your garage is next to your kitchen, you’ll simply need to knock down the internal wall between the two to create a larger family kitchen or a kitchen/diner. To increase the natural light in the space, you could incorporate a roof lantern or a series of roof lights. This is a fantastic way to flood this new room with bright light. 

Add a utility room 

If you’re looking to convert your garage into a more practical space, consider turning it into a utility room. Utility rooms are the ideal place to store sizeable appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers as well as cleaning suppliers. Whilst it’s a room that your guests are unlikely to see, it’s vital for the smooth running of your home. Converting your garage into a utility room doesn’t require a great deal of construction work, however, you’ll need to think about factors such as wiring, storage and ventilation. We can handle every aspect of your garage conversion here at High & Dry.
