This Is Exactly How You Do A Garage Makeover

RH Business Marketing Solutions

Garages are so often forgotten in the home. They are huge spaces that can often go unused - even when they could be put to good use to store gardening supplies, bicycles, or anything else you need but don't have room for in your home. So before you get started on your garage makeover, check out this list of things you should consider!

Declutter and Create Storage Room

This is your first task - get rid of all the clutter. If you haven't used something in a year, it's time to let it go. Take everything out and sort through it carefully. You don't want to end up selling items that you need or use! Once everything has been removed, pressure-wash the floor and walls if necessary, sweep away any remaining dirt and debris, and put down tarps so you don't damage the surface while you work. This way, you'll have more space for your Overhead Garage Storage that can help you declutter even more and make room for the things you need. You can also hang hooks on any wall for hanging tools, garden equipment, or anything else. A pegboard can be used for organizing larger items like shovels and rakes so they don't take up too much space on your shelves. Use open shelving options so you can see what's stored where at a glance without having to rummage around.

Maintain Your Garage Floor

Don't neglect the garage floor! A good coat of paint will help maintain its appearance for years to come, even as those dents and scratches inevitably begin to accumulate over time. You may choose bright white paint with a semi-gloss finish if you want to make everything in the garage stand out, but there are also gray paints that will make your home's exterior appear more cohesive. And remember - use a roller brush to apply the paint instead of spray paint, at least for this project - you'll get better results with less hassle.

Incorporate Your Decor

This is the fun part - decorating your garage makeover! You can display some artwork, photos, or memorabilia over a wall-mounted TV for a nice personal touch. If you love to garden, replant some indoor plants in larger containers and put them on shelves for an easy arrangement that won't take up too much room. Or hang a hammock from the ceiling and relax there after a long day of work. You can even make a home gym out of your garage so you can work out after a stressful day. Or, consider making it a place where the kids can hang out. Layout some floor covers and make it a place where they can play, whether indoors or outdoors. The options are endless.

When you follow these steps, you'll end up with a personalized garage makeover that makes your space both functional and beautiful. Garage renovations are one of those projects that can be as simple or as complicated as you want them to be. Just remember that small changes go a long way, so don't overwhelm yourself with hundreds of ideas before actually anything!
