For many, a garage is just a place where you park your car and dump all the junk that you don’t need inside the house. That’s all well and good but think about it for a second. There’s all that space that isn’t being used effectively. Your garage could be so much more than a glorified warehouse, and we’re going to tell you how to make your garage a place of comfort.
ORGANIZING STORAGE SPACES
Making a garage feel cozy doesn’t need to involve taking the entire thing apart. At least not yet. The simplest thing you could do is organize the storage around your garage so it doesn’t look like a junkyard.
The efficient use of shelves and large plastic containers can do wonders for your garage. Organization doesn’t just make everything look clean; it also comes with the added benefit of making things easier to find. No longer do you have to dig through piles of broken electronics to see where you left your bike pump. Just stash it in a plastic bin and label the container as bike stuff, and you will always know where it is.
ADDING GARAGE CABINETS
If your garage is already lined with shelves and you are still having trouble trying keeping things straightened out, consider adding garage cabinets. Sure, this will be quite the project, but it will be well worth the effort. You will not only have a place to store all of the things that clutter your home; you will have plenty of space to set up a personal corner, with enough left over to park your car.
CONSIDER REMODELING
Remodeling can mean different things to different people. Some consider the process of adding shelves or extending the garage area as remodeling, and they are not wrong. What we are talking about, though, is changing the look and feel of your garage. Whether or not you knock down some walls is up to you. Here, you are only limited by your creativity and the appropriate building codes.
The changes can be as simple as painting the walls a new color or adding lights to make the place brighter. You can install new windows to let a bit of sunshine in, or fix the insulation, so it doesn’t feel so drafty. You can turn the garage into a whole new room, or even replace it altogether. The important thing is that you don’t lose sight of the goal to make your garage feel as comfortable as possible.
ADDING VALUE TO YOUR HOME
Your garage can be one of the most cluttered places in your home, and there isn’t a reason for it to stay that way. Making your garage into a place of comfort can only lead to a positive change, not only for your family but also for your home’s value.
