Some houses often have an area designated as a garage, but if the owners don’t need it, they can transform it into a hobby room or gain space for another purpose.
In fact, some people turn the garage into a gym to create a space to work out, but others want a tavern or relaxation room where they can host friends in their free time.
Imagine turning your garage into a real tavern: soft lights, a fully equipped bar, and a television mounted on the wall.
But how do you transform a garage into a tavern?
Let’s find out together how to create the ideal place to host a party or simply enjoy yourself with your guests, eating and chatting, or watching a movie together, and what the cost would be.
How Much Does It Cost to Transform a Garage into a Tavern?
Providing an estimate for this type of work is not simple, as costs can vary greatly depending on their nature.
However, transforming your garage will require a series of interventions to make the space habitable, such as creating new installations. Usually, the change of use costs between 100 and 350 euros, while any costs for land registry procedures range between 200 and 500 euros.
Our advice is to consult a professional to check the urban feasibility of the project if it is not yet habitable. The work to be done is not complicated, but it is necessary to complete a series of bureaucratic procedures to avoid having to pay very high fines in the future.
Only then can you move on to the next step: furnishing your tavern to make your space truly unique.
Let’s go step by step through the changes you could make!
Transforming a Garage into a Tavern: Necessary Work
If you have an unused garage and want to turn it into a cozy and comfortable tavern, there are some steps to follow.
First of all, as we mentioned earlier, you need to complete all the necessary work to make it habitable.
And once all the bureaucratic procedures are completed?
The first thing we recommend is to carry out anti-mold insulation to limit the humidity in the area and ensure the right temperature in both summer and winter.
Then proceed to change the color of the walls, considering the size of the space: a color that is too dark in a small garage could negatively affect the appearance and comfort of the tavern, while a light color would make it look larger and more spacious.
Transforming a Garage into a Tavern: Lighting
Do you want to create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere? You need to pay attention to the lighting!
If the space is furnished with wooden inserts, you can use soft, warm lights to create a cozy atmosphere. You can also choose floor lamps or decorative lamps.
Transforming a Garage into a Tavern: Decorations and Furniture
A bar area, a foosball table, a game room, a relaxation and movie area: depending on the size of your space, you can create many special little areas for every need.
The style will surely depend on your tastes and the type of tavern: for example, for a modern tavern, it is better to opt for light furniture made of woods like oak or ash. To complete your country-style furnished tavern, however, you cannot miss a floor with terracotta tiles.
It is based on the style, the space, and its use that you will need to choose the appropriate furniture. Surely it is important to place a sofa or armchairs, a table, and chairs if you want to eat or drink something in company. To avoid going up and down to the upper floors all the time, you can think of creating a bar area and putting in a refrigerator or freezer to keep food cool.
And if you want to make your movie area unique, you can turn the tavern into a small cinema with a projector mounted towards a white wall or a dedicated screen.
Transforming a Garage into a Tavern: The Door
Even though we sometimes focus only on furniture to save space, choosing a good door is fundamental.
The door is and will always be your calling card. So why not choose a door suitable for a tavern?
Think of a sectional door with wide slats in a dark color, perfect for a place where you can have fun with your friends or relax watching a movie.
Safe, durable, and motorized, an additional advantage of the sectional door is its high energy efficiency: it fully exploits the thermal properties of the panels, making your tavern safe and always protected against temperature changes.
