I turned my garage into a studio apartment for myself – it’s made rent so much cheaper and I get more space
A WOMAN has given people a tour of the garage she turned into a studio apartment.
Brittany Eakes took to social media to show off her new home, kitted with a working fireplace and walk-in wardrobe.
She said: “I’m going to be giving you a room tour on how I turned my garage into a bedroom.”
The spacious garage was able to fit a massive double bed, sofa, TV unit, fireplace and a walk-in wardrobe and still have plenty of floor space.
Brittany then panned to the corner of the room which showed the vanity area she had created.
It included a large desk to get ready on, a cute fluffy grey rug and a large mirror so she could check her outfits before heading out the door.
To the side of her vanity area she has her living room.
She had a gorgeous blue velvet couch and a massive bean bag at the end so she could lie down to watch TV.
To give it a more homely feel she decorated the walls with plants and wallart.
On the opposite wall was her TV stand which also had a built-in electric fireplace which helped keep her warm.
Brittany revealed the garage does get quite cold in the winter so the fireplace was essential as well as having lots of extra blankets.
To the side she had extra rail for clothes as well as her shoe rack to make extra room for her closet.
“I don’t really have much room in my garage for my clothes,” she explained.
She then made a feature wall with some faux ivy and a ‘BE HAPPY’ sign to make it extra cosy.
In the centre of the room was Brittany’s huge double bed, to the right of the bed was a door which Brittany had turned into her walk-in closet.
“I actually built those two poles with a hacksaw, which I’ really proud of, I did it all by myself,” she added.
The wardrobe feature two more curtain rails as well as a large chest of drawers for most of her clothes.
She then showed viewers the best part about her garage, saying: “The best part about my garage is this little screen, so that way no bugs can get in if I leave the door open.”
In the comments section, Brittany revealed why she moved into the garage even though the house has three bedrooms.
She said that she has three flatmates who took the bedrooms and she went with the garage so that they could split rent even cheaper between them.
“My other 3 roommates are in the rooms in the house. Doing it this way lowers rent + everyone gets their own room,” she explained.
The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @brittanyinberlin with over 1million views and 100k likes.
Plenty of people took to the comments impressed with that she had done to the garage.
One person wrote: “That’s actually a good idea for a room and creative I never seen someone do this before.”
Another commented: “Looks like a mini studio which I love.”
“I would LOVE to have a room like this,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Wow looks absolutely stunning you are smart.”
“Looks amazing,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I love it, been wanting to do this forever.”
