More and more homeowners are discovering that their garage or carport has untapped potential for more than just a place to park their car. In fact, a lot of homeowners don’t even use their garage for their car. Instead, they have converted garage space or carport space into a more specialized purpose that better fits their lifestyle: a hobby space or workshop. Your garage or carport can be converted into the perfect place for you to enjoy woodworking, crafting, and more; and this should be remembered when designing a garage.
At Corso Construction, our home remodeling contractors are experts at transforming unused or under-utilized spaces. Whether you have an open carport, covered parking structure, or traditional garage, we can turn it into the ideal place for you to enjoy your hobbies. Here is our guide to designing a garage or carport conversion in Tucson, AZ, that supports your hobbies.
Evaluate Your Needs
First, you should evaluate your specific needs and goals for your project. Our team can help you identify project-specific priorities that will bring your vision to life. For instance, think about what your primary use will be for the space. Next, envision your dream workspace and the specific features you want it to have. Then look at your existing space and determine how everything will fit together. The best way to start is to:
- Declutter and remove anything that doesn’t belong in your new workspace
- Define different work areas or zones for your specific projects
- Take measurements of each area to determine the ideal layout for storage, work spaces, and more
Look for Design Inspiration
Next, look online for design inspiration. We can show you our portfolio of past garage conversions so that you can get some great ideas for your space. You can also look on Instagram, Pinterest, and other sites to see how other people have converted their garage into a workshop or hobby space. Look for examples that closely match the size and layout of your space and that are specific to what you plan on using the space for.
Consider Storage and Custom Feature
Then, consider your specific storage needs and any custom features you want to incorporate. Some examples are:
- Built-in storage cabinets
- Wire floor-to-ceiling racks
- Workbenches
- Wall-mounted shelving
- Pegboards and slat walls
- Overhead storage
Choose Finishing Touches
Finally, choose the finishing touches that will really make the space your own. We can install new flooring, custom lighting, electrical outlets, upgraded ventilation systems, temperature control, and more. Our renovation contractors will help you consider every factor so that the space becomes your refuge, where you can enjoy your hobby in your dream workspace.
