We all let junk collect in our garage. It’s ok, you can admit it. Where else are you supposed to put a moth-eaten futon? Hey, outta sight, outta mind.
Well, if you’re like us, it’s time to say no-more to junk piling. Whether you need that extra space back for a new car or you’re feeling a little more ambitious with your remodel, that junk isn’t doing you any favors right now.
Truly, when you clear all of that stuff out, it turns out that garages have a ton of unused space. And when it comes to remodeling, unused space means that a room has a lot of untapped potential.
So, let’s get into it. Here are 8 aesthetic garage remodel ideas that’ll make you pick up the phone to call those junk removers.
So your garage floor is messed up. It happens! Cracks and stains are only natural in the wear and tear of a garage. But uh, yeah, it’s not too pretty to look at.
Well, if it’s just a new coat of paint you’re after, look no further. You can install new flooring in your garage! It’ll still be functional as a car house afterwards, and you won’t have to stare at those stains any longer.
Plus, while you’re at it, you can update your garage storage as well! The storage system above makes the whole room tie together by using accents and complimentary colors. After all, it kinda sucks to have the aesthetic of a brand new floor wrecked by ugly old cabinets.
If you’ve got some more money to spend on a garage remodel, you could turn it into a gym! Chances are, if you’re into the idea of a home gym, you’ve probably got some equipment already. So why not give them a proper home?
There’s a ton of reasons why investing in a home gym is a great idea. Think about it- why splurge on monthly gym fees when you could spend a one-time fee on your favorite equipment?
With some savings, you can go all-in and get the at-home gym equipment that you’ve always wanted. You’ll have a place to go where you can get all sweaty (that isn’t the living room couch), and no more worry of strangers seeing your weightlifting face!
Plus, a garage-gym is great because it’s so close to the outdoors. You can do your workout half in your yard, and half with your fancy equipment. Plus, once winter comes, you’ll be all ready to go with an indoor-only fitness routine.
Even if you clear out all the junk in your garage, you’re still gonna have some stuff that you need to keep around. What are you gonna do, put it back on the floor? No!
With a little revamp of your garage storage, you can make sure that your garage stays organized and neat. That way, there’s no temptation to let the junk pile grow again.
For an easy installation, you could try putting up vertical storage like the one pictured above! It makes everything easy to see, and easy to get to. Or, for a bigger remodel, you can always go the full mile and install new cabinets and shelves as well.
We all love a functional garage, but come on, who doesn’t dream of a garage that’s a little bit more than that? Here are a few garage remodel ideas that’ll make your garage feel more like home.
With all your junk gone and your cars parked outside, you’ll be free to set up shop! Garages are full of empty space- so full, in fact, that you can fit a whole sitting room. Especially if you live in a small house, this remodel idea will make your home feel a lot bigger.
We’re all running out of table space constantly. With everything you have to do in a day, it’s easy for things to become lost, and for areas to get messy. That’s why you should give your hobby the space that it deserves.
By making your own garage hobby space, you’ll never have to worry about clearing off the dining room table again. Plus, if you invest in a good storage system, you’ll be less likely to lose your important crafts materials, too!
We all love our kids, but they accumulate a lot of random stuff. From easy-bake ovens, to hot wheels tracks, to the odd gaming system set-up, it can be hard to make room for everything your kids love.
But, with a garage remodel, you can give your kids a proper place to play. With a kid-centric garage design, you can be sure that your kids will have their own place to be loud, messy, and creative… with the added bonus of the house being quieter and cleaner as a result, of course.
So you need a place to play your favorite game when friends come over. No problem! Garages can be a great place to host people, and they can fit a lot of gaming essentials as well.
Whether your choice group game is pool, poker, foosball, or even dungeons and dragons, having a set-up in the garage will turn your house into the hangout spot of the century!
Having company over can be a hassle, especially if they’re with you for an extended period of time. Why not give them their own space to unwind with a guest cottage garage?
Pretty much all garages have a door that leads into the house, so they’ll have full reign of the house. They can come into the kitchen at 3 AM without bugging anyone, and they can disappear at 9 PM when you break out the twister. It’s a win-win!
Ready to move the junk out of your garage yet? Well, hop to it! No matter what you decide to do with your garage, there’s a lot of space in there for you to use. So, go make your dreams come true- you might as well make it into something cool. Happy remodeling!
