If you don’t use your garage for storing a car, then the space inside can go to waste. For many people, it is just a place to store clutter that you don’t use or want lying around the house. If you’re tired of the clutter and wasted space, then we’ve got some interesting ideas for other things you can turn your garage into.

A workshop

Does someone in your house have a hobby that could use a dedicated space? It might be woodworking, painting, renovating old cars, growing potted plants, or whatever else. You can put in a workbench, storage, and whatever else you might need. With a dedicated space for your hobby, you’re likely to spend more time on it – productive time that you can enjoy.

A kid’s playroom

Tired of the kids messing up the house? Then turn the garage into a comfortable and colorful place for them to play. This is especially good for garages that are connected to the house. You can lock the main garage door so that they’re safe, and they can come and go between the house and the playroom whenever they want. Add in storage units for their toys and a soft playmat or carpet for the floor.

A home office

If you work from home, it can be hard to find somewhere that allows you to work productively and distraction-free. Then why not turn your garage into your own home office? You can decorate it the way you like, put in windows to let in natural light, and move in all the office furniture you’d need.

A spare bedroom

Do you need an extra room for when friends and family stay over? Or perhaps you’re thinking of renting out a room to bring in some extra income? You can completely renovate your garage to turn it into a cozy spare bedroom.

A home gym

By turning your garage into a home gym, you’ll save money on expensive gym memberships and make it more likely for you to actually work out, since you don’t have to convince yourself to go all the way to the gym. You can buy the equipment that you’ll use and skip the ones you don’t, and you won’t have to wait to use a piece of equipment.
