Trending Now: Renovate a Garage Into a Room

If you have a #garage and you're not using it to park your car, you have a lot of wasted space that you could be putting to good use.

A garage has all the basic elements of a livable space, all you need to do is add what's missing and you can convert your garage into a home office, #spare bedroom, or even a self-contained granny flat.

How much does a garage conversion cost?

A garage conversion can set you back anywhere between $10,000 and $40,000, depending on its inclusions. Keep in mind that this is still much less than the cost of a home addition or extension.

How do you make a garage 'livable'?

Your garage already has a 'house shell' - a concrete slab, walls and a roof. If you look at it as an unfinished house, you can really see the potential. To make it habitable, you need to add:

1. insultation 

2. internal cladding

3. a ceiling

4. flooring

5. lighting

6. entilation

7. heating and cooling
