When houses were designed with garages attached, cars were a lot different to how they are now. They were made from a type of metal that would be affected by the elements more easily, and were more easily broken into by criminals. This made having a garage a necessity. Now modern cars are practically impervious to the elements and very resistant to criminal's undesirable advance which means you can keep them outside, leaving your garage to gather junk and dust.
So now many people have an empty garage and no idea what to do with it. Here are some great ideas to help you come up with something.
Playroom
If you have boisterous kids tearing up your living room, turning your garage into a room just for them can be a godsend. After you have moved all your junk, you will need to insulate the walls so that your kids stay warm and you will need to make the room secure so that they can't go running off towards the street when you aren't looking. After you have done that you only need to stick their toys in and make sure there is nothing to sharp or hard for them to fall on and 'hey presto'.
Home Gym
With a minimal amount of adaptation you can transform your garage into a handy gym where you can pound a few miles out before you go to work or pump your guns in the evening. You only need to really shift all your junk out and stick in some equipment and you are good to go.
Cinema
With an injection of cash you can turn your garage into a comfortable luxurious home cinema. Heating, flooring and soft seats along with surround sound and a big TV or projector will make a very nice cinema of your very own. This would not work with sunrooms as there would be too much light, so you need to make sure your garage conversions have no windows.
Cat Sanctuary
Do you love cats? This could be your opportunity to take a whole bunch in from the cold. You will need to modify your garage by installing heating and some cages, as well as providing soft places for them to lounge and if possible, access to your garden so you don't have to deal with so many litter trays.
Office
Planning on working from home? Make yourself a swanky office with carpets and leather bound books on mahogany bookshelves. Then you can do business deals in your pyjamas like a pro.
