Creative Ways to Upgrade Your Garage

If your home has a garage that isn’t being used, why not convert it into a space that serves a good and functional purpose? Just because you may not use the garage to park your vehicle, doesn't mean you can't create a space that suits your needs. With some creative planning and a garage remodel, the design possibilities are endless.

Workout Studio

Instead of spending money at the gym, why not transform your detached garage into a great workout space? You can include various workout equipment and machines. You can also add in yoga mats, dance bars, and wall mirrors. Consider building storage cabinets to hold all of your workout essentials. For the ultimate workout routine, include a music system and large-screen TV.

Media Room

A modern media room can add value to your home, as well as fun and entertainment to your life. Picture watching a movie with family or friends in a room decked out in comfort. Add reclining seating, a large screen, and a sound system to make you feel like you’re sitting in a movie theater. Transforming your unused garage space into a media room frees up space in your home. It also gives you the freedom to crank up the volume without disturbing anyone.

Home Office

A garage can provide as great space for a home office. While it’s close to the house for convenience, it still offers privacy and a quiet setting. This decreases household distractions and noise, and increases efficiency and productivity. If you work from home on a regular basis, a remodeled is also a great way to reduce the added cost of renting office space.

Playroom or Game Room

Turning your garage into a playroom for the kids is a great idea for busy, active families. Consider making your space a fun activity center with tables and chairs, games and puzzles. You can also add a relaxing TV area for movies and videos with comfortable ottomans or floor cushions. Your kids can hang out with their friends in their own space while staying close to the house for supervision.

Guest Bedroom

A garage makes a great bedroom space for overnight guests. By adding comfortable furnishings and accessories, you can create a private retreat with convenient access to the house, pool, spa, or other outdoor amenities. If your garage is large enough, consider adding a small bathroom that will provide complete privacy and convenience.

Garden Center

Upgrade your garage by transforming it into the perfect garden center where you can organize garden tools and supplies, create a greenhouse environment, or divide the space so there’s room for both. Install heavy-duty wall hooks for hanging shovels, rakes, clippers, and other tools. Place a table in the corner for potting plants, and shelves along the walls for starting seedlings. You can even install grow lights and heat lamps for all of your plants.

Man Cave

Turning your detached garage into a man cave will provide a private place for the man of the house. It’s a great way to entertain friends and watch all of those noisy sportscasts without disturbing the rest of the family. A comfortable sofa, chairs and large-screen TV will provide the perfect setting for those afternoon ball games and outdoor cookouts.

Art Studio

If you love to sketch or paint, a detached garage provides a private space with plenty of room to store canvases, paints, and easels. You can line the walls with your favorite drawings and paintings, and add shelving to hold all of your supplies. With concrete floors and convenient drop cloths, you can paint to your heart’s content without worrying about the mess.

Workshop

If you enjoy building things, a detached garage is a perfect place to create a workshop. You can build in shelving, storage cabinets, and pegboard walls with hooks for all of your tools and equipment. Add tables, workbenches, saw horses and your favorite power tools for your DIY projects. If you work with paints and stains, make sure you provide proper ventilation for the fumes.
