The garage. Once designed to house our cars, these days the humble garage is something of a dumping ground. Bikes, skateboards, scooters, and dog beds; paint cans, tools, Christmas trees, and broken toys – for many of us, there’s no end to what we store in our garage.

But if space in the rest of your home is coming at a premium, perhaps it’s time to consider the cost of converting your garage into a more functional space. To find out if it’s feasible, get in touch with your local Renovation Consultant in Sydney CBD and Inner South.

What garage conversion ideas are popular in Sydney CBD and Inner South?

As a city, Sydney is popular with locals and tourists alike, and accommodation can be at a premium. That’s why a popular garage conversion idea in Sydney CBD is converting your garage into a granny flat or self-contained unit that’s suitable for Airbnb guests.

Insulation, a coat of paint, running water, and a well designed layout that allows for separate living and dining spaces, can quickly change a tired space into an inviting room that guests will pay to stay in.

Another popular use of garage space is as a teen hangout. For homes with internal access to the garage, this is particularly successful. A second lounge, games room, rumpus room, or movie theatre can mean the teens – and their friends – have a safe place to call their own.

What can I convert my garage into?

From a home gym to a home office, a music room to a rumpus room, there are plenty of uses for a converted garage. Here are some previous garage conversions that have been successfully undertaken following the Refresh process:

This clever garage conversion gave these Kings Langley homeowners an elegant apartment. The nine month project, which had its challenges with regards to material supplies and COVID restrictions, used clever use of space, underfloor heating, and navy blue cabinetry to achieve a contemporary look.

Meanwhile, this homeowner saw the opportunity to convert his garage into a film studio, enabling him to have his ideal creative space.

How much does a garage conversion cost in Sydney CBD and Inner South? 

The cost to convert a garage will depend on what you’re converting your garage into, how big the space is, how complex your garage design ideas are, and the condition of your existing space. For example, if remedial work is required prior to design work, this will add to the cost.

The Refresh process ensures any homeowner embarking on a renovation project receives a fixed quote accurate to their project so there are no hidden cost surprises along the way.

Do you need consent for a garage conversion?

If you’re working within the existing footprint of your garage, you may not need consent for your garage conversion; if you’re undertaking a garage extension however, you might. It’s important to know if you need consent or not prior to any renovation project as this can have a direct impact on the cost and time of your project.

The good news is, your local Renovation Consultant in Sydney CBD and Inner South will be able to advise you on whether you need consent or not. And, if you do, they’ll manage the application process.
