Converting the garage into a home office begins with an assessment.  It needs to be a ‘liveable’ space.  That begins with the flooring.  Garage Floor Xpress offers plenty of options for any budget to transform your garage space into quality living space.  Then concentrate on the walls and windows to improve the insulation of the space from the heat of South Carolina. Updating the windows and adding an additional layer of drywall will make a big difference. 

Once you have the basic structure in place it’s time to provide some design elements.  Spend some time generating ideas of the overall layout.  Where will the furniture be? What types of storage and utility will the space provide?  Map out your final ideas and then begin to add some  style and efficiency to the space. It’s best to choose a neutral color pallet to provide a cool and relaxing space. And don’t forget to add some flair; pictures for the walls, and a free standing book case. Have fun with the new surroundings.

I few last things to remember.  Standard lighting in a garage is likely not sufficient.  Make sure you take some time to determine what your lighting needs are.  Some focus lighting around the desk area and reading chair.  Perhaps changing out the garage doors with a transom panel or translucent glass panels.  Don’t forget that planning is key.  The better the plan, the more successful the renovation.  Contact Garage Floor Xpress when you’re ready to put your project in motion.
