Do you remember when you moved into your house and how empty your garage was? There might have only been a bare light bulb in the space. How quickly did it take for you to fill that up? The garage is meant for parking your car but it also becomes a very popular “storage unit” for the home. If you’ve gotten used to not parking your car in your garage, then perhaps it’s time to reevaluate that space. In other words, as long as your car is taking care of why not put that space to better use? Here are some ideas that you could adapt for your garage:
Home Office
There’s a long list of successful businesses that started in a garage. If you’ve got an idea or business that you’d like to start, then you need dedicated space for an office. A garage is a perfect area for that. If you don’t want to feel boxed in, then you can always replace the garage door with a wall and windows.
Playroom
Whether you have one kid or five, the first thing that becomes apparent is that they have a way of taking over the entire house. You can reclaim your home by setting up the garage as their private playroom. There’s nothing wrong with keeping your washer and dryer in the garage but you can put down some linoleum flooring, add shelves and a kid size table to make this a terrific playroom. Won’t it be great to have all the toys in one place?
Arts and Craft Studio
If you are in to arts and crafts, then you need a good space for your creations. You can set of a central workstation in your garage and have plenty of overhead lighting. There’s also room for storage of all your materials. If your garage is freestanding, then you might want to consider adding a skylight to bring in natural light.
