Entire garages can be converted into living space or part of it leaving you with storage and by creating a doorway from your house it can be used like any other room. Interior space for one or two cars is typical, and garages built since the 1950s typically have a door directly connecting the garage conversion to the interior of the house (an "attached garage"). In the past, garages were often separate buildings from the house, almost resembling modern sheds. On occasion, a garage would be built with an apartment above it, which could be rented out. As automobiles became more popular, and convienience essential, the idea of attaching the garage directly to the house grew into a common practice. While a person with a separate garage must walk outdoors in any type of weather, a person with an attached garage has a much shorter walk inside a building.
