The home garage can sometimes play second fiddle to other spaces, often relegated as just the place for wide-use storage. A garage shelters your vehicle, laundry equipment and various other items inside storage containers.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s boring, yet absolutely needed.<\/p>\n
But as you and your family spend more time at home, your garage can get a new lease on life with a remodeling project. Here are some ideas that will expand the functionality of your garage with style.<\/p>\n
Add new flooring and fresh wall paint <\/strong><\/p>\n If a total garage transformation is out of the question, start with new flooring and paint for a dramatic update. Most garage floors are made of concrete, which can look a little dull and are prone to cracking. Not to mention, most garage surfaces can soak up liquids and accumulate stains.<\/p>\n Before moving forward, it\u2019s advised to have the floor resurfaced to make way for epoxy treatment. With this type of flooring, you can kiss floor stains goodbye and welcome in a shiny and updated look.<\/p>\n In addition, you can add larger floor matting, strong enough to handle the weight of a car, yet comfortable for various workouts.<\/p>\n Once the flooring is installed, the walls can also be made over with a fresh coat of paint or newly installed sheetrock, if needed.<\/p>\n Loft it out<\/strong><\/p>\n You can refine your garage\u2019s footprint while retaining all that storage capacity, and maybe adding to it, by installing a loft. Look up and imagine what\u2019s possible with a loft. Your storage needs can be fulfilled overhead, leaving you plenty of room to roam and experiment with the space on the ground floor.<\/p>\n If you feel extra ambitious, the loft area can double as a storage and office space or an extra room. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n Put in windows<\/strong><\/p>\n Get rid of the envelop of darkness inside your garage by bringing in some light, preferably, of the natural variety.<\/p>\n The installation of skylights or windows will bring in some much-needed natural lighting and allow for better airflow. This two-for-one means more visibility and less garage stuffiness.<\/p>\n
