The WoW Style

Your garage is a great space in your home that often goes unused or becomes a messy storage space over time. This is something that, when worked on, can become an amazing place to spend time, work on projects, and even socialize, depending on your interests. With the current property market becoming saturated with incredible small homes and apartments, you will want to make the most of this extra space that you have just sat there.

To help you get started with changing your garage for the better, this guide has come up with some great ideas on how you can make the most of the space without having to take on a huge project that you can’t manage. These simple solutions will mean you are able to start loving your garage, rather than just seeing it as a big storage cupboard.

Make sure you have the best storage facilities

Of course, while you don’t want your garage to just be a place to store things, you will need some storage facilities in there to keep the most important things safe. The best way to store these items that you can’t do without is to invest in racking and shelving.

This specialized shelving unit is designed to carry an enormous amount of weight safely meaning that you can put all your power tools, boxes, and anything else you can imagine on these and know that they are safe. These shelves can easily go against the walls of your garage, leaving the rest of the space free to do what you want with it.

Turn the garage into an extension of the house

If you are thinking of turning your garage into an extra room, then you will want to know how to make the garage comfortable and what you should invest in to do this.

Depending on how formal you want the room to be (is it going to be a living room or just somewhere to chill out and do hobbies) you can invest in comfy furniture form a recycling shop and create little DIY projects to make the pieces your own. Using online tutorials, you can learn how to change the fabric on a big armchair or how to sand down and design a new dining room table to make the space unique and elegant.

Make the space bright

The final thing you need to consider when renovating your garage is making the most of the light in the space. If your garage doesn’t have a window where natural light can get in, investing in having one installed is a great idea.

If this isn’t an option for you, then finding ways to make a dark space brighter without a window is the best way to go. When choosing colors to paint with, always go for light tones that will reflect the artificial light. Adding in mirrors and glass surfaces will help the light bounce around the room as well as making the space feel bigger.

Now you have the tools to begin your renovation; there is nothing left to lose!
