How to Make the Most of Your Garage Space

Garages are often used for clutter and can be very messy, leaving you shutting it away from the rest of the home. If you’re doing this, then you’re not getting the most out of your space and we’re here to show you what you can do with your garage to make better use of it.

So, if you have a garage and are thinking about giving it a whole new look, then we may be able to inspire you. Our ideas can be done by yourself or a professional depending on your budget, making them accessible to most homeowners. Read on to find out how you can make the most of your garage space.

Declutter

The first way you can maximise your garage’s potential is to simply clear it out and tidy everything that’s left as this will give you a functional storage space that can be used more effectively. Decluttering is great for your mental health too, so you may find this can help to boost your mood as an extra incentive.

Start by sorting through your items and throw out or donate the items you don’t want. Once you’ve done that, buy clever storage solutions like a toolbox to safely store your tools or a bike rack to put your bikes up and out of the way. Having storage solutions should help you keep your garage clean for longer, so you won’t need to spend as long sorting through it in the future.

Renovate your garage

If you don’t need storage space, then you may want to turn your garage into a space that you can use for your hobbies. Here are some examples of what you could do with the space:

• Create a home gym with all your favourite workout machines
• Turn it into a games room by adding a TV, sofa, game consoles and even a pool table if that’s the game for you
• Design a home bar to have a drink or two with your friends on the weekend
• Turn it into a library and reading room

Convert your garage

For those that don’t like garages in general, then there’s no need to keep it at all! Instead, convert it into a new room in your home. This could be a new kitchen, living room or bathroom depending on your preference. Converting a garage can add as much as 20% to your home’s value if it’s done right, which makes it a worthy investment to make.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways that you can make better use of your garage space and it could help to increase the value of your home too!
