How to Turn Your Garage into a Home Office

​It’s becoming more and more common to use your garage as a workspace for business or pleasure. These huge areas of our homes often go unused or we simply don’t make the most of them. If you work from home, consider transforming your garage into a home office so you can have peace and quiet throughout the day. Follow the guide below to create your dream office space.

The Benefits of a Home Office

Many people are making the switch to working from home because of the ongoing benefits, including:

  • Significantly lower expenses than paying rent and utilities for an additional office space
  • Increased availability to spend talking with clients
  • Endless options in how you can set the space up to work for your needs
  • No commute to work, meaning no emissions
  • Create more time to spend with your family

How to Set Up Your Home Office

​First of all, you’ll need to work out whether or not you need council approval. If you are going to have employees and clients coming and going, it may be necessary to present the plans to the council and ensure you aren’t entering a legal grey area. After this, it’s all about design elements and technology!

Make the Garage Weatherproof and Comfortable

​Your home office will be filled with expensive equipment and technology, so it’s important to guard it against inclement weather. Make sure there are no gaps in the walls and consider adding insulation to the walls for added comfort and weather protection. Invest in a heater and a fan to make sure you can work through the coldest and warmest days of the year.
 
An insulated garage door will make the internal temperature comfortable while protecting your belongings from storms and other weather damage. At Dominator Christchurch, we offer high-quality insulated garage doors that will stand the test of time.

Invest in Ambient Lighting and Decorations

​In order to encourage productivity, you want to create an office space that inspires you. Creating a good atmosphere starts with the lighting — natural light through windows is your best option and then installing lights that are bright enough to work in without being too bright that the room becomes clinical.
 
Consider hanging calming decorations such as vivid nature scenes or other warm images that will improve your state of mind while you work. Next, you’ll want a comfortable desk with plenty of space for the tasks you need to perform. Consider creating a meeting space with couches if you intend on bringing clients and employees into your home office.

Install the Latest Technology and Set It Up Correctly

​You’ll need reliable and high-quality technology, including a fast and constant Wi-Fi connection. If your network doesn’t reach the garage, invest in an affordable signal booster to minimise your frustration while you work. Efficient computers, printers and data storage devices will make your life much easier.
 
Consider installing an electric garage door opener that connects to your smartphone for additional convenience and security. Our Smartphone Kits are designed to give you total peace of mind that your office equipment is safe when you aren’t home to monitor it.
