How to Convert Your Garage into an Office

If working from home is the new normal for you, creating an efficient office space is essential. Instead of sitting on the sofa or constructing a makeshift desk that isn’t practical, why not use your existing garage space? Whether you fancy a full garage conversion or you want to make a few simple changes to create a functioning office space, the garage is a great place to start!

Here’s how you can convert your garage into an office.

Get your electrics sorted

First things first, if you need somewhere to set up your computer then you need your electrics to be fully functional. If you already have a system set up in your garage, locate all of your plugs so you know exactly where to place your desk and if you don’t currently have electrics, it’s time to invest!

Change your garage door

Working from home can be very convenient but you should still maintain some separation between home and work –  using your office is a great solution. For a more permanent working space, you may want to upgrade your garage door from an up and over to a side-hinged design. Doing so means that your garage will feel more like a room than a storage area and you can access it much easier from the front or back of your home too.

Invest in good lighting

Most garages are a little dingy and that isn’t ideal if you want a productive workspace. Invest in new ceiling lighting or add a window to let natural light in so you have an inviting office that’s bright.

Buy new storage

A cluttered garage does not make for a good office. However, with the right storage, you can organise your work area and put away any items that will remain in the garage such as seasonal items, old clothes and more. With everything put away, you’ll have much more space to work with.
