Hello Again, Chris Town, Owner Of Town Construction And Development Here With Some More Great Tips On Garage Conversion Ideas for your Shoreline and Edmonds Home.
The humble garage – the keeper of the car and odd bits and bobs we don’t know what to do with. Often it’s a bit dank and dark. It just doesn’t seem to get as much love as the rest of the house. All that squandered potential…but what if there was a way to change that? What if, instead of it being just a mere afterthought, your garage got its moment in the sun? With so many possibilities regarding what you could do with that space, it’s almost impossible to place a number on it. Still, if we had to, that number would be seven (because it’s one of the magical numbers). Here are seven garage conversion ideas to transform your home and make it an exciting new addition. Turn it into something that you will be happy to enter, not just a place you unwillingly venture into when you are not sure where that vinyl record your dad has been pestering you about has gotten to. Of course, it will take some preparation and organizing, but it will be worth the effort.
A whole world of untapped potential can be uncovered if you look past the mess and junk!
It doesn’t sound like much of an upgrade, now does it? Hey you, yes you, the one putting on that batman outfit, that’s not what I meant either. We are talking about the ever-popular and elusive man cave. This tends to be a win-win in a household where things are maybe a bit too…compact. It gives the guys a chance to have a place where they can unwind without, you know, winding up the rest of the household. He watches the football game that only he is interested in with his friends in the garage; the rest of you get a peaceful living room. Of course, there are many variations, and it doesn’t have to be only for men. It could become a perfect hobby room. A place in the house, separated from the house, where you can forget about everything and pursue your interests. A gaming room is another idea. Library? Be creative with it; what you do will depend on your interests and passions, but it can be the perfect place to relax and collect your thoughts.
Sure You Can Stay Over…
Hospitality is something we value as a society. It can also be a bit of a problem when we are spontaneously asked to show the same. Sometimes we have unexpected guests. Other times, they are announced, but it is still stressful working out the proper sleeping arrangements. Still, never fear; your garage is here. Converting it into a guest house could solve all these problems. With a bit of care and dedication, the guest room could be a cozy little place any visitor would be happy to spend the night in. It can get a little pricy, so be sure to budget your money wisely to avoid any nasty surprises. Once all is done, you will sleep better knowing your guests are sleeping better.
How About An Idea That Will Help Transform Your Body?
By converting your garage into a home gym, you can also convert your energy reserves into muscles. This could be the ideal solution for those of us who don’t care much for crowded places, waiting for the machine we want to become free finally and generally don’t like the hustle and bustle of a public gym. From the privacy of your own home, you can craft the perfect workout to help get yourself into an ideal shape. It’s also a great time saver and gives you more flexibility.
Whatever equipment you may need will always be waiting just for
you…now isn’t that a great scenario?
7 Garage Conversion Ideas to Transform Your Home? How About Just This One; A Home Office?
What has become abundantly clear in the past couple of years is that a lot of work can be done online from the comfort of your very own home. Now, a lot of houses weren’t made with this in mind. You will rarely find a space dedicated solely to this purpose. This is where your garage comes in. Put in a nice worktable, add some wacky posters, and bring in some plants. Assemble a creative space that gets you in the mood to be productive.
Furthermore, think of all the time you will be saving – no more commutes or stressing over whether you need an umbrella, coat, third layer of clothing, and whatnot, as the weather report was kind of ambiguous that morning. Life could become much simpler.

I Have Two Words for you…Home Cinema!
If that didn’t get you excited, you could mosey on down to the next point, but if you let out an involuntary ‘yelp,’ then you may want to hang around for just a moment more. Imagine a comfy couch, a place to put your feet up, and no other voices to distract you during the movie. Imagine not having to sneak in treats and drinks as the cinema prices tend to be “a bit” on the higher side. Also, here’s the perfect excuse to get a popcorn maker, taco stand, and cotton candy machine. You would never get them otherwise, but you are making a home cinema, and you need to make it as authentic as possible. You have no choice in the matter!
Drinks are on the House
How about a lounge and a bar? Imagine that – several friends, sitting together, you with your shaker in tow, crafting the perfect cocktail. Maybe a new deck of poker cards is sitting on the table. A night of fun awaits you, and it’s all thanks to your newly converted garage!
Last, But Not Least…Some Much Needed Living Space
Sometimes all we need is a little more space. Maybe an extra bedroom or bathroom would make all the difference. If that is the case, it is pretty clear what you should do with the garage. Home cinemas are nice and all, but improving the quality of your everyday life should always take the top spot, priority-wise.
Where to Store When you are Converting the Storage Space
Ironically, you will need to find some extra storage space when you prepare to convert your garage or when you prepare to renovate any other room, for that matter. You can always ask friends and family to help. Using other rooms in the house is another option. Or you can take the most practical route without inconveniencing anyone and opt for a storage container. In any case, you must make sure to prepare everything before the work begins to ensure everything goes smoothly and your belongings are safe.
