Linking the living room straight through to the garden, this garage conversion in Sunningdale, Berkshire, has turned a long, narrow brick garage into a bright new room for the home.

Home gym and storage in one: this double garage in Claygate, Surrey, had become a dumping ground of boxes, bikes and sports kit, with a treadmill and rowing machine squeezed into whatever space was left. The makeover started at the top, boarding out the loft to create dedicated storage space above, reached by a folding loft ladder, so boxes and seasonal items could be moved up and off the garage floor.

Grey slatted wall panels running floor to ceiling are the centrepiece of this garage makeover in Ascot, Berkshire, turning plain white walls into a sleek, textured space with a real sense of style. The panels wrap around the garage, finished with black skirting, and bring warmth and depth that paint alone could never achieve.

Half garage, half new room: this conversion in Winkfield, Berkshire, splits a bare blockwork garage in two, creating a warm, bright room at the back of the house while keeping useful garage space at the front.
