Garage Door to Carriage Door Conversion Project for a Garage Turned Playroom

Dynamic Garage Door

Here's a perfect idea of how Custom Carriage Doors by Dynamic Garage Door can be integrated into your home to convert your garage into livable square footage like an additional family room or guest quarters. This custom designed carriage door features exclusively unique awning style windows that allow you to crank open the glass panels and let fresh air into the room without having to open the entire carriage doors themselves. This is conveniently practical if the garage area is used as a playroom because it keeps small children safely secured inside while allowing ventilation to reach the room's interior. We equipped the carriage door windows with cranks because it allows the windows to be cracked open a little or a lot, depending on how much air flow you need in the room. When cranked shut the windows are safely shut sealing all the way to maintain room temperature when and if the air conditioner is turned on in the house. Additionally, this window mechanism makes it safe to lock at night or while away from home. Each one of our custom garage door projects has its own unique specifications and needs. For this reason, Dynamic Garage Door is selected by savvy homeowners who understand that our customization options are limitless and we will pull out all the stops to make their dream garage door come true! So whether you're looking for real carriage style garage doors or carriage style rollup doors, Dynamic Garage Door is here to help build your one-of-a-kind garage door solution.

Study Room Design Ideas

A home office has many uses and isn’t a mere luxury anymore. You might work from home, or bring work home, or you might just need a place to go through bills, mail or store important paperwork. Kids can use a home office to do their homework, or quietly play a game online. Browse the photos on Houzz for home office ideas and inspiration, and strike up a conversation with the architect or designer or your favourite picks. For more home office ideas, check out the Stories section.

How much office storage do I need?

To ensure your home office or study room isn’t buried under a deluge of paperwork, books and supplies, incorporate plenty of shelves, cabinets and drawers. Floating or built-in shelves with cubbies can stock books and magazine holders; or for a more traditional look, make room for a large bookcase that fits in with the decor of your home. Invest in a filing cabinet to store paperwork, and opt for a lockable filing cabinet if you have sensitive documents. A tray organiser can store incoming mail and will help prioritise bills. The type of desk you choose is also key to keeping things organised. Look for desks with deep drawers and plenty of surface space, and add tray organisers to the drawers to keep track of staples like pens, pencils, highlighters and sticky tape. If you want a streamlined look, find a way to conceal any computer cables or wires, too. One solution is to install a false back on your desk, if it doesn’t already have one.

How do I choose an office desk and chair?

If you spend long hours hunched over your work desk at home, invest in ergonomic office chairs with wheels for better back health and comfort. Consider optimal lumbar support with flexibility in adjusting handles and back angle. Most rolling office chairs come upholstered, typically in leather, but that’s no reason why you can’t have one custom-made to suit your home decor. When picking out your work desk, be sure to consider its overall function. If you work from home and hold meetings, pick an oversized, sturdy desk that is double-sided (can be accessed from both sides). You’ll want it to look professional, so opt for dark timbers over high-shine finishes. It’s also a good idea to create a separate study desk for the kids, so homework doesn’t go missing among your files. If your home office is for the whole family a two-person desk or built-in long work bench are more suitable. Where space is tight, look for a retractable computer desk, or utilise an awkward corner with a corner desk.

What home office decor will encourage productivity?

Use your walls for to-do lists: hang a pegboard and paint it in your favourite colour or be adventurous with chalkboard paint and whiteboard panels. Bulletin boards that keep the whole family in order are an extra feature that always come in handy. Use your stationery and office accessories – think pencil cups, paper trays and magazine holders – to add colour and pattern, and desk lamps, clocks, maps and calendars to personalise the space. Above all else, aim for ease of use.
