The garage - more often than not it’s where the boat is stored, the bikes are racked, the firewood is stacked, and the old suitcases are dumped. It’s very rarely the space used for parking a car. And if that’s the case, why not convert your garage into a bedroom, granny flat, office, or home gym to really maximise the space.

To discuss garage conversion ideas with someone in the know, get in touch with your local Refresh Renovations Consultant in Perth South East. They’ll be able to advise you on how best to maximise your garage space and ensure your garage conversion ideas, big or small, are executed with precision, professionalism, and pizzazz!

Why choose Refresh Renovations?

At Refresh Renovations, our team of Renovation Consultants work to ensure any ideas you have to transform your home are brought to life in the most enjoyable way. There’s no need for you to pull your hair out over poor workmanship, stress over schedules, or worry about hidden costs appearing on your invoice; at Refresh we are changing the way the world renovates to deliver a stress-free, enjoyable, and ready-to-be-repeated experience.

Our Renovation Consultants follow a unique five step process. This starts with a free consultation and an opportunity for you to discuss your home transformation ideas with someone who knows what renovations entail. Whether you’re looking to convert a garage to a granny flat or upgrade your bathroom, modernise your kitchen or put a second storey addition on your home, our Renovation Consultants can advise you on the best way to achieve your renovation goals.

Once discussed, we’ll prepare plans, establish a schedule of works, and provide you with a fixed quote accurate to your project before any work begins. There’s opportunity during this time to change your plans, choose different materials, rework your budget, or throw a few more ideas into the mix. And your Renovation Consultant will be there to discuss it all.

Step four is when construction begins. When there are multiple tradespeople on the job, managing schedules can be time consuming, but that’s the role of your Renovation Consultant. They’ll keep you informed throughout but there’s no need for you to do any of the managing yourself. They’ll also keep check on the quality of workmanship as well.

What garage conversion ideas are popular in Perth South East?

Utilising the space on offer in your garage can be achieved in a number of different ways. Popular garage conversion ideas in properties across Perth South East include converting a garage into a granny flat. This provides the opportunity for homeowners to get a return on their renovation investment by renting the space out permanently or part time on Airbnb.

A self-contained granny flat is also a valuable use of space if in-laws move in or come to stay, or children need a place to base themselves while saving for their own home.

Converting a garage into an office is another way to maximise space once underutilised. With more and more people working from home, a garage office conversion means there’s a clear demarcation between work zone and home zone.

Another garage conversion idea sees this space turned into a rumpus room or second living area. This is popular with homeowners who have teenagers in the house!

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

The cost of a garage conversion in Perth South East depends very much on what you're converting your garage into. Turning your garage into a self-contained granny flat will likely require more work and services than if you were simply turning it into a teen hangout room or home movie theatre.

If you’re adding additional services to your garage, such as power, electricity, and water, note that these will come with a cost and likely consent required as well.

Across Australia, there have been different garage conversion projects undertaken by homeowners on different budgets. This clever garage conversion in New South Wales saw  a much-loved home transition to meet this multi-generational family’s changing needs. The former double garage was turned into a self-contained apartment for a cost of $220,000.

In Melbourne, this garage conversion created a rumpus room for a growing family to enjoy. Transformed within a $45,000 budget, the result boasts a stylish white and black colour palette with gold accents.

“My home is now complete. After Refresh did a wonderful job renovating the first floor of my villa, I decided to go ahead and renovate my ground floor; a space that could be used for a self contained unit, or additional space for spreading out and taking advantage of the garden.” - Lynne Hill
