But there\u2019s also a lot you can do with what you\u2019ve already got. Garage conversions, for example, can be a really good way to maximise your home living space.<\/p>\n<p>Homeowners convert their garages into a variety of different rooms, and a playroom is a particularly popular choice. Keep reading to find out why a garage conversion could give you a great new playroom.<\/p>\n<h3>Garage conversion advantages<\/h3>\n<p>There are several advantages to garage conversions that can make them a brilliant way to expand your living space. They can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create more indoor living space without reducing your garden size<\/li>\n<li>Add value to your property \u2013 as much as <strong>10%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Be a good way to prevent hording if you use your garage as storage space instead of somewhere to keep your car<\/li>\n<li>Cause minimal disruption \u2013 garage conversion work is usually pretty self-contained<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plus, converting a garage can often be a relatively simple job. It\u2019s certainly less labour-intensive than building an extension from scratch. The key alterations that you\u2019ll need to make are adding insulation and damp-proofing the room, plus fitting windows, doors and flooring where necessary. After that it\u2019s just a case of installing electrical wiring and plumbing if needed.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_908\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-908\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quotatis.co.uk\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/playroom-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/3\/2017\/06\/playroom-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/3\/2017\/06\/playroom-400x260.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/3\/2017\/06\/playroom.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-908\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pinterest.com\/pin\/155163149635853067\/\">Image via Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<h3>Why convert your garage into a playroom?<\/h3>\n<p>Converting your garage into a playroom can significantly improve your family home. A playroom can double up as play and toy storage space. This will help to prevent bedrooms and other rooms in your home getting cluttered up with toys and play apparatus. Plus, if your kids get noisy when they\u2019re having fun they\u2019re less likely to disrupt the whole house!<\/p>\n<p>Attached or integrated garages are best for playroom conversions. When designing your playroom, try to ensure that the access borders your kitchen or another commonly-used living space. This will make it easier for you to keep an eye on it if you have younger children while still giving them their own space. You can turn a detached garage into a playroom if you wish, but they\u2019re harder to supervise unless you\u2019re outside.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to get started with your garage conversion, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quotatis.co.uk\/advice\/guide\/conservatories-home-expansion\/garage-conversions\/\">\u2018Start my project\u2019<\/a> and fill in our online form.
