As the housing market becomes more and more expensive, many people choose to stay in their homes and renovate! It is common in Havertown to renovate their garages into liveable spaces that can expand the square footage of their homes. It’s a great way to gain an office, playroom, or bedroom to make your house feel new again.
A common garage conversion in Havertown is into an office. It’s a great way to alleviate some of the strain if there is a family member working from home. Having a dedicated room for work is excellent, and it’s a great area to store books, hobby materials, and more.
Split up the space. Garages are large enough to fit cars, and if your budget has room, it’s an excellent idea to split the former garage into multiple rooms. A common split is an office, laundry and bathroom. A half bath is perfect for the split room, and can change how homeowners host their homes, because often in Havertown homes, there aren’t bathrooms on the first floor.
Playrooms! If you have young children, have a room for them to play on the first floor but not overwhelm your living room with toys. This room changes as the children grow up, and when they are teenagers, adding in a couch and TV can continue to keep the room relevant. This room is versatile, and is great for families who host for holidays or events, and want the kids nearby but not always in the same room.
A guest suite. A garage conversion is perfect for creating a guest bedroom or suite for visiting family and friends. It also can be a murphy bed or convertible couch, so that while guests aren’t visiting, it can be used for other activities. By including storage, the room can help to organize the home a bit better, while also creating a more luxurious and relaxing experience for guests who are coming to visit. It’s great for families who have members out of town but love to visit.
Home gym. If you have family members who prioritize fitness, having a home gym can make life easier while they can enjoy their passion and can improve their mental health greatly. It’s a great choice, and can be as extensive as you choose. It also can be built up over time, with equipment being added. By starting small, it can be perfect over time.
A room dedicated to art or hobbies is a perfect choice. Creative spaces often require lots of light, and while converting a room is the best time to include windows. If the garage is unattached to your home, adding skylights can provide lots of natural light. Hobby rooms can help to make a home feel so much bigger, and will allow children to embrace their creativity young, and have their passions early.
Garage conversions can revitalize the home, and create spaces that aren’t specifically a number one priority for the household, but are perfect to add over time. Homes are a constant work in progress, and curating the home to match the household needs can make homeowners re-fall in love with their homes.
