Boxes, abandoned tools, trinkets, and assorted household items that are old or haven’t found a permanent home are simply stacked on shelves or tucked away in dark corners to gather dust. However, here are eight ideas on turning a cleared-out garage into an asset for your home.\n\n1. Man Cave\n\nTransforming a garage into a man cave is easy. You just need comfortable seating and an entertainment system to watch your favorite sport. You can add extras like a poker table, fridge, and a mini bar, and even install a bathroom. A big plus – rowdy game nights are out of the house.\n\nI converted my garage into a man cave pic.twitter.com/VvtBKKm0ve\n\n— Gamer Blessing (@GamerBlessing) July 27, 2018\n\n2. Game Room\n\nMore family friendly than a man cave or you could combine the two ideas. It’s a lot of fun to have a family game night in your garage. Got teenagers? You can let them do whatever teens do with their friends without constantly telling them to keep it down.\n\n3. Home Theater\n\nMount a large projector or TV on one wall and install a great sound system. A soft rug and some plush chairs will mean you won’t miss the worn seating in your local movie theater. You might consider adding soundproofing or insulation to your walls.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/JoshFurness1/status/739500264537923584\n\n4. Home Gym\n\nA garage gives you plenty of space for that home gym you’ve always dreamed about. You may need to restructure the walls and floor to support equipment. Add in rubber gym mats and a cupboard for supplies and towels. A section of the space could be used as a yoga studio or for a ballet barre.\n\nHaving the best workouts of my life in my garage gym. All those silly pulley machines look better than they work. Highly recommend it for a disciplined person. pic.twitter.com/AtsGJ25Gxn\n\n— T C (@Liberty4Granted) October 29, 2018\n\n5. Home Office\n\nIf you work from home, a converted garage can provide you with some separation from your work and home life. Desks, tables, a partition to provide a conference room – it will all depend on the type of work that you do. Did you know that Google, one of the world’s largest companies, had it’s humble origins in a Silicon Valley garage?\n\nGoogle Search celebrates 20 years with Street View tour of 1998 garage office: #artificialintelligence #iot mt: @motorcycletwitt https://t.co/xqrhaJXXTH pic.twitter.com/HOFN3ZpDBH\n\n— Alison Oliver (@alison_iot) October 26, 2018\n\n6. Craft Room\n\nIf you love to craft or paint, a craft room or artist’s studio will allow you to create undisturbed. You won’t need to worry about how much space you’re taking up or how big a mess you’re making. The craft room could also be a sewing space for a small group – think a quilting circle.\n\n7. Playroom\n\nGive your kids their own play space. Build in some bookshelves and storage cubbies for games and toys. Or, if you have a child with musical talent, set the area up for a promising garage band.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/jessica_kissel/status/893169887459332098\n\n8. Guest Room\n\nTwo car garages provide a great space for a guest suite. Be sure to insulate it and add heating and air conditioning.\n\nGet Cracking\n\nA disorganized storage room is a total waste of valuable real estate – and most of us park our cars in the driveway anyway. You will need to negotiate with family members on the best use for the new space.\n\nBefore you get started, check with your municipality on zoning laws and any required permits. And, make sure you won’t be annoying your neighbors. Converting a garage into a space that you’ll use is a lot of work, but well worth it.\n\nTags:garage, home office, home theater, man cave, play room\n\n0\n\nShare:\n\nBay Area Waste Management News Round-Up (April 2019)\n\nOakland Garbage Pickup 101",
