We all need our own territory to manage emotions. Even if it’s just a favorite chair to come back to. I have a chance to claim an underused garage and convert it into my own studio and home office. Hence,garage conversion design ideas.Actually, it’s not even a garage, just a storage dump. In other words, I can breathe new life into an unclaimed space. I can celebrate independence and self-sufficiency through design. And so can you. Just like me, you can create a quiet place with plenty of even, shadow-free light for sculpture or sewing. For example, just like me, you can set up a big project table and a wall of bookshelves.

 Allow new glass doors to fold back for occasional parking.
 Design lightweight flexible shelving to house books, reference materials.

 Also, you might want to design a conference/work table on wheels for maneuverability.
