What garage conversion ideas are popular in Adelaide?

For many of us, the idea of a garage in which we can park our car, giving us easy access into the home, is a dream set up. But it often doesn’t take long for the garage to become a dumping ground of sports equipment, household clutter, work tools or storage containers. Hence why garage conversion ideas that create usable space are so popular in Adelaide.

One idea in particular that appeals to many homeowners is converting their garage into a granny flat. This creates space for friends and family to stay as well as the opportunity to reap a reward from your investment by listing it on Airbnb.

Another garage design idea is the transformation of this space into a home office, particularly with the increase in hours so many of us spend now working from home. Often spacious enough to accommodate two workspaces, the garage turned office can be shut away from the rest of the house, ensuring productivity remains high.

What can I convert my garage into?

If your garage extension ideas include converting a garage into a living space, maybe a home office, a rumpus room, yoga studio, home gym, or AirBnB unit, you’re not alone. These are just some of the uses that homeowners in Adelaide have for their newly renovated garage.

If you’re wondering what you can convert your garage into, take a look through our range of case studies for ideas and inspiration.

How much does a garage conversion cost in Adelaide? 

At Refresh, we’re firm believers that no one size fits all, and nor does one cost. That’s why, as part of our process, we provide you with a fixed cost accurate to your project*. 

But if you’re considering a garage conversion, knowing what it could cost is helpful. Here are a few projects that have been undertaken by our team.

This stylish garage transformation in Melbourne replaced a space that was past its prime with a functional multi-purpose room that blends seamlessly with the rest of the property. Although the project experienced material shorts and lengthy lead times, it was completed over 11 weeks for a cost of $76,000.

Meanwhile, this homeowner on the Gold Coast turned their garage into a smart and stylish guest space, while leaving room for storage. The project, which cost $27,000, included feature elements such as a sliding barn door to create a contemporary rustic feel, while warm feature lights made up for the lack of natural light, creating a comfortable and relaxing ambience.

*Costs are rough estimates and are subject to change. For a fixed-quote accurate to your specific project, please consult your local Refresh Renovation Consultant.
