Whether you own a vehicle or not, the garage is a valuable space that can benefit you and your home massively. You may not have a car or prefer parking it on the drive; what is your garage being used for? If you don’t have an answer, it is highly recommended that you change that immediately – give your garage a new purpose.
With a bit of effort, you could add significant value and turn out to be a stylish addition to your home. But if you don’t have a concrete garage to convert in the first place, look no further than Dencroft Garages. Their experienced team will be happy to help you with any of your garage needs.
Does a garage conversion appeal to you? If you love the sound of it but are unsure of what to convert it to, here are a few options.
Home gym
Particularly if you lead a busy life, going to the gym is at the bottom of your priorities due to many reasons: using the equipment after other sweaty people, being hot and uncomfortable surrounded by strangers, and even the journey itself to the gym – but all of this can be avoided by converting your garage into a home gym.
Invest in some form of a cardiovascular machine (exercise bike, treadmill, etc.), weights, and a punchbag. Don’t go overboard, though – there is no point in buying a lot of expensive equipment. All you need is for it to be a comfortable beneficial environment for you to do your workout.
Cinema room
These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can go into a store such as Argos to purchase a projector, making it easier than ever to turn your concrete garage into a cinema room for you and the family. Purchase a few chairs or a sofa, a mini-fridge, blankets, and snacks to make it a real comfort zone – a place to chill out and relax after a long, hard day.
Bump up the comfort levels by investing in insulation and adding heating. It’s all based on your budget and priorities – you may much rather have a better sound system or sofa.
Mancave
Go on eBay, find a cheap pool table/table football/ping pong table, buy an incredibly comfortable leather chair, a minibar, and a whole load of alcohol – THERE, you have your very own man cave available to you 24/7.
If a man cave sounds like your ideal conversion option but would like more detail, here are a handful of ideas for things you could potentially put in your man cave.
Home office
If you opt to convert your garage into a home office, there is a lot more thought that needs to go into the process. It’s not just a case of flinging a desk, books, and a few lamps in there – you need to insulate properly and make sure it has the maximum security possible, especially if there are valuable items there.
