House felt cramped over Christmas? Then it could be time you considered converting your garage. In the latest episode of the Real Homes Show, presenter Laura Crombie explains how garage conversions are one of the home improvement projects that people often get wrong, and shows you how to avoid the most common pitfalls. From layout ideas to how much it should cost, watch now for everything you need to know before converting your dumping ground into useable space.
