Convert Detached Garage Into Home Office

3 years ago

I work from home, and now my husband does too. We're currently using our sunroom which isn't suitable long term as an office, so we're looking to convert about half of our detached garage into an office for us both.

It's about 73M2 in total, and we'd like to convert the bottom half, leaving the front with the garage door etc. still intact and usable as a garage. We could incorporate 2 existing windows to the plan, and would just need to add an external door. One issue is that the garage houses our 1100LR oil tank, wouldn't plan on moving this, are there any issues with having this in close proximity? Also, any idea of what we'd be looking at in terms of cost. The approximate size would be 6.1M x12.6ML with roof height of 2.6.

Thanks

If you are going to do this - make sure the bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe space etc - don't scrimp ! Ideally every woman wants at least double the wardrobe space she already has !! And a walk-in wardrobe / dressing room is something that would earn any developer brownie points !! So if you have the space ... Use it well !! Breakfast areas in morning sunshine work well and evening sun in the lounge is good - inside outside fireplaces can work really well and everybody needs storage for summer /winter stuff (ski /scuba /suitcases etc ) so worth adding in storage somewhere accessible (like utility room ) for that sort of gear too ! This is an awesome opportunity for you ! Have fun !!!

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

Hi 👋🏻 help please :) I am About to embark on our first home renovation and it’s already making my head hurt! We have a 3 bed semi d built in the 50s and are hoping to extend by 3.5 -4 metres out the back, convert the garage and build over it to create a bigger 3rd bedroom and a small 4th. I’m finding it so difficult to finalise the design downstairs - we want an open plan kitchen dining, a decent utility, guest WC and place for the kids and us to Hang out. We are keeping the sitting room at the front as a separate sitting room and using the garage conversion as a study/office. I would very much appreciate any thoughts, suggestions on the attached design.
