What garage conversion ideas are popular in Melbourne South East?

For many Melbourne South East houses, space is at a premium, so a popular garage design idea is transforming it into a home office. With more and more of us working from home, having a home office reduces transformation costs, increases productivity, and enables you to keep home life and work life separate.

Converting your garage to better living space is also a popular option among Melbourne South East homeowners, particularly those with growing families or developing teens. Then there’s the idea to convert your garage into a granny flat to be used as either a guest suite or as supplementary income via Airbnb bookings.

To discuss garage extension ideas or how best to utilise the space either under, next to, or behind your home, book a free consultation with your local Renovation Consultant today.

What can I convert my garage into?

How much does a garage conversion cost in Melbourne South East? 

The cost to convert a garage will depend on what you want to convert it into. That’s why starting your renovation journey by discussing garage conversion ideas is such an important part of the process. But, to get some insight into how much your budget might stretch too, it can be useful to look at some previous garage conversions that Refresh has successfully brought to fruition.

A stylish and functional garage conversion in Camberwell enabled these homeowners to achieve fantastic curb appeal. For $76,000 they transformed what was an original carport into a multipurpose space, complete with overhead lighting, sunny windows, and full insulation.

Another savvy Melbourne homeowner converted their garage into a film studio. Transforming an under-utilised second lounge, this creative studio is a far cry from its original 7m wide 3m high garage with concrete floor.

Do you need consent for a garage conversion?

It always pays to check whether you need council consent when renovating, and that’s certainly the case when you’re considering converting your garage. Part of the Refresh project management process is sourcing this consent should it be required. So, leave the hassle, the paperwork, the collating of information, and the preparation of documents to the experts.

Your local Melbourne South East Renovation Consultant will secure council consent for your garage conversion should you need it. When we say we manage your project from concept to completion, we mean it!
