Remodeling isn’t just about making your home gorgeous—it can be a pragmatic decision as well. Since the recession began, houses are becoming smaller, so each inch of your home is valuable real estate. Mansions are becoming less popular, and homeowners are opting for houses with less square feet that use space more efficiently.

Converting your garage into an apartment is one of the best actions you can take to make your home bigger without actually expanding it. Imagine having an office or a study to use for work, school, or just surfing the Web. When guests arrive, you’ll have a fully-furnished bedroom for them, rather than just a couch. A garage apartment is also perfect for college-age kids who want independence but aren’t ready to move into their own place, as well as older grandparents who wish to be closer to the family.
