If you have made the decision to incorporate a garage into your property, consider the possibility of using this opportunity to create a ‘room over’ garage, to meet your needs and give you extra flexible space. When it comes to an oak framed garage with room above, the possibilities truly are endless. Here are just 5 of our favourite ideas to make the most of your garage:
Extra living accommodation
If you have regular visitors, or close family who stay for longer periods of time, a garage with extra living space above can give your guests the optimum comfort in providing them a relaxing and inviting place of their own whilst still staying within the property itself.
If extra living space is what you have in mind, we recommend our Winchester ‘room above’ garage design, that offers a taller room. This traditional oak framed garage, featuring a beautiful external oak staircase and large handmade windows, perfect for furnishing and making homely; you certainly won’t feel your new living space is situated above a garage!
Home Gym
Create your own private work out space from the comfort of your own home without allowing it to invade the home itself. Our Gloucester room above garage is the perfect design to suit a gymnasium above garage space, easily fitted out and with the potential to add roof lights or dormer windows to give a light and a spacious feel.
Outside Music Room or Hobby Area
Rather than designating an existing room inside your home for your hobby, why not allow yourself a place tailored entirely for it? Whatever your hobby, be it playing an instrument, painting, or even model trains, we will work with you to craft a room above your garage that caters to these requirements (even the acoustics).
Outside Office space
Using your room over garage to create a calm and separated space detached from the main house means that you can have a comfortable and custom-built work space at home, without quite feeling that you’re bringing the office into your home. Our Little Gloucester garage, a smaller version of the Gloucester room over oak garage, is the ideal design for a spacious yet secluded office space. This design features an external green oak staircase, as well as pressure treated softwood components.
Games room
In contrast to the tranquillity of the office space, consider utilising your room above garage space to design a game and play room. Perfect to give the kids a place to play without disturbing the main living space – suitable for adults too! Our Portchester oak frame garage offers the perfect design for such use, with a more discreet finish that doesn’t compromise on space.
Our oak garages are available in any number of bays, using the finest quality timber and craftsmanship as well as competitive pricing and outstanding service. When it comes to garages with a room over, we offer unparalleled quality and results. To find out more about our room over garage range click here.
