Garage conversions
Garage to playroom conversions.
A converted garage makes a durable, easy-to-clean family playroom, separate from the main living areas so toys, mess and noise stay contained.
What's different about this conversion
What matters most in a garage-to-playroom conversion.
Durable, easy-clean finishes. Playrooms take more day-to-day wear than most rooms, so we typically specify hard-wearing, easy-to-clean flooring and washable wall finishes rather than the higher-spec materials used in a bedroom or office conversion.
Storage. Built-in shelving and storage cupboards are worth planning in from the start, both to keep the room tidy and to make the most of a typically compact garage footprint.
Noise containment. Sound insulation is still worth including, mainly to keep noise from the playroom contained rather than travelling through to the rest of the house.
Safety. Standard safety considerations apply, including socket covers, safety glazing where relevant, and rounded or protected edges on any built-in furniture.

Can you add built-in storage to a playroom conversion?
Yes, built-in shelving and storage cupboards are a common addition and help make the most of a typically compact garage footprint.
