Need some extra room? Imagine what your garage could be!

Sure, plenty of people use their garage as something other than a place to keep their car. Specifically, they use it as storage. Have you ever considered converting your garage to a more usable space? The modern family can have plenty of uses for a converted garage, from a kids’ area to a home gym to an office. If you’re hoping to make the most of your house’s square footage, use this guide to converting your garage (or shed!) into a more usable space to suit your lifestyle.

Figure Out Your Storage Needs: If you’re like most people, you probably have a decent amount of stuff stored in your garage. Figure out what you need to keep in your garage and what you can move elsewhere, then invest in storage solutions to minimize and organize your storage space in your garage.

Improve The Space: The remaining space is yours to play with! Hide electrical wiring, put in insulation, drywall and paint and install good lighting. Move workbenches or tools that don’t fit in your storage solution to a designated area. Transform the setting by incorporating Bi-fold, Multi-slide or Lift and Slide doors to open up to your yard and add usable square footage.

Imagine What Your Space Could Be: Now that you have your space organized and pleasing to the eye, the fun begins! What suits your needs? A recreation room for the kids, man cave, artist studio, personal gym, home office, practice room for your band or cat habitat? Use your imagination to create whatever best suits what you want for your newly improved space!
