While most homeowners choose to use their garage as a place to park their cars or store boxes of clutter they just can't seem to part with, there are a lot more uses for this precious space. When you're looking for out-of-the-ordinary uses for your garage, you should consider a few of these alternatives to help you add more livable space to your home and create a home that is customized to fit your family's needs. And if you can't bear the thought of parting with your home's prime parking spot, some of these ideas can be used to convert only part of your garage, leaving you plenty of space for parking.

A Home Gym

Many gym enthusiasts choose to convert a portion of their garage to a home gym, complete with their favorite weights and machines, but without the crowd. This is an excellent option for homeowners because having access to your own personal gym saves time and money. If you plan to spend a lot of time in your new gym during the winter or summer months, you may want to consider insulating the space to keep the temperature more moderate.

A Workplace

If you spend any portion of your week working from home, you know how difficult it can be even if you do have a designated workspace. Imagine how much solitary space you will have if you convert your garage into a home office. Even if your career of choice doesn't require a desk, your garage would be an excellent space for an art studio, a workshop, and just about anything else you can think of.

An Extra Living Space

Converting your garage into an extra living room, bedroom, or even a home theater can add valuable living space to your home. If you decide to turn your garage into an extension of your home, you will definitely want to insulate. You may even consider turning a portion of your garage into the laundry room of your dreams—the possibilities are endless.

A Music Studio

With a music studio, insulating or adding sound-dampening foam to the space can prevent your neighbors from going crazy (and make it sound better, too). Finishing off your garage will likely cost you a lot less money than you'd pay to redo any room in your home that is already finished. Also, choosing the garage for a music studio means a lot less noise in your home. These are only a few alternative garage uses that can turn an unwanted and overlooked space into something you'll love. When you think about it, the possibilities truly are endless.
