Garages are versatile spaces. The extra space offers a safe haven for vehicles, essential tools, and supplies. Whether your garage doubles as a workshop, a handy storage shed, or a gym, you have plenty of options to make the place work for you.
With the holiday season right around the corner, now is the perfect time to make a little home improvement, and the garage is a great place to start.
Let’s highlight a few extraordinary ways to transform your garage and make it useful this holiday season, from investing in garage floor coatings to installing new cabinets.
Start with the Floors
Years of use may wear out your concrete garage floor and leave it looking dull. If you’re going to do just one thing to your garage that will make it really stand out, update the flooring. A flooring upgrade, especially if you plan to spend more time in the garage, will be a worthy investment.
Epoxy garage floor coatings will work wonders to transform your space and protect the floor from dust, dirt, and stains. The best part? You’ll have beautiful garage floors that need no more than a broom or water and a mop to keep clean.
Get Organized
Your garage may be spic and span, but most items that end up there — everything from paint cans and old boxes to snow blowers and strollers — can be a safety hazard. Sadly, most garages are crowded spaces.
Get rid of what you don’t need and organize the rest. If you plan to host children in your garage, put any sharp tools or harmful chemicals out of reach.
Invest in Shelves and Cabinets
Adding high-quality shelves and cabinets increases the usable space of your garage to accommodate more stuff. Today’s modern shelves and cabinetry come in unique designs and fashionable styling that can boost the look of your garage while supplementing storage space.
Get an expert to install hanging shelves or wall-mounted cabinets to give your garage more storage space. While at it, add a drop zone, slatwall panels, and a workbench into the mix. Overhead storage can also come in handy if you have a tall garage.
If you plan to host a holiday party, consider adjustable shelves, so you can move them quickly to create extra room for buffet-ready essentials such as chaffing dishes and crockpots.
Upgrade Garage Lighting
Most garages have the traditional single overhead bulb and dim lights. Investing in modern and stylish lighting fixtures allows you to add beauty and functionality to your garage this holiday season. Proper lighting fixtures can make your garage look and feel more welcoming.
Ideally, you want bright bulbs. Consider using LED lights to brighten your garage and show off your new upgrades. You may also want to add strips on the sides of the garage to provide excellent lighting.
Add a Safe Source of Heat
On chilly nights, heat will be critical. Consider installing overhead garage heaters or adding insulation. If you decide to use a portable heater, make sure it’s safe to use in a garage.
Consult your local hardware store’s general contractor or expert on safe garage heating options.
Don’t Forget the Outdoors
Your garage door provides the ideal spot to make a splash with holiday decorations. Get some attention with holiday lights or share a holiday message with self-adhesive or magnetic letters. Alternatively, go bold with a mural that covers the entire door.
Bottom Line
This year, use your garage to make your holiday special. When you need room to entertain your guests, the garage can free up enough space for a small crowd to gather and enjoy the festive season. Your garage is more than a store or parking space. Tap into your creative side and use it to welcome guests for the holidays.
