Converting a garage

Converting your garage into space for the home is a great way of adding value to your property.
Its new use really depends on the rooms that currently adjoin the garage and your specific needs of your family.
If your living room is next door then you have a chance to knock through and make a much larger living space.
The same applies to a larger kitchen so you could make an open-plan kitchen and dining area.
If you want it as a completely separate space then it could be made into a beautiful office or study.
This is great if you need somewhere to work from home.
If you have kids it can become a great games room or separate TV room.
Budget
Even if you don’t need that extra bedroom, if your budget can stretch that far, it is worth considering doing the 2-storey extension.
A larger ground floor space along with an extra bedroom will make an enormous difference to resale value and appeal of your home. Good luck!
