13 Garage Decor Ideas to Transform Your Space
While many people put no effort into decorating their garage, this is a mistake. There’s plenty of potential to remodel your space, making it look slick and organized. That way you can access your tools easier, or even transform it into a space to hang out with your friends.
To help you get started, we’ve outlined several garage decor ideas below.
1. Put In A Glass Garage Door
Try adding a sleek glass door to increase the aesthetics of your garage. The door’s energy efficiency will be an additional benefit. You won’t need to use electricity to provide your garage light during daytime hours. Glass garage doors are lightweight and can assist with your garage’s quiet operation.
2. Optimize All Vertical Space
Maximize the available space in your garage to accommodate a greater number of items. Most of the items you will find in your garage will be optional to access daily. These items can be stored up high. Move as many things as you possibly can off your garage’s floor to maximize the amount of space available in the garage. You can even store some things hanging from the ceiling.
For example, consider using a ceiling-mounted bike rack with a pulley system. If you do this, just be sure your vehicle has enough clearance. You can also attach overhead shelves to the ceiling of your garage. Solid and spacious units can hold heavy storage bins, large canoes, or kayaks.
3. Turn Your Garage Into A Home Exercise Station
Garages don’t necessarily need just to be a place to store a vehicle. Another way to recreate the vibe of your garage is to transform it into a personal gym station. If you have gym equipment randomly lying in any corner of your house, utilize it to create an aesthetic fit for your home's interior.
A fantastic spot for such gym equipment is your garage. Not only will moving this equipment to your garage get it out of your home, but you’ll also now have an excellent place to exercise with a breeze, which can help cool you off.
4. Use Pegboards to Store Things
Consider hanging a pegboard on your wall. This will allow you to store and display frequently used tools and enhance your garage’s organization and aesthetics.
5. Make Sure Everything Is Labeled
You can make the most of your garage space by putting away any extra things. It can help you maximize the space and create more room. Be careful to name all of your garage items before you do this. This will save you time as you dig through your things every time you need to find something.
6. Make a Man Cave Out of Your Garage
Another great thing to do with your garage at cost-efficient rates is to make it a man cave. You only need a refrigerator, television, entertainment system, chairs, and wall décor. Some other things you can add are a pool table, arcade games, a bar, or a workshop to your man cave garage.
7. Make Sure Your Tools Are Organized
One necessity is tool organization. Whether you’re fixing a household appliance in your garage or doing maintenance on your totaled car, you are going to ensure that time isn’t being wasted while you sift through disorganized tools.
8. Have Your Storage Bins Be Stacked Vertically
A great garage storage system is plastic storage bins, which can organize and separate your equipment. You can save floor space by stacking your storage bins vertically. You may even wish to build storage towers, in which each bin sits on its own shelf instead of on another bin. This will make it quicker and easier for you to access each bin.
9. Use an Organizer That Hangs on the Door
The door from your home to your garage can be an extra space to store things. Consider purchasing or building an organizer that hangs from your door.
A device like this will usually be made from sturdy metal, have hooks hanging from the top of the door, and feature numerous open-topped shelves. You can use these shelves to store things like cleaning supplies, dog-walking items, or seasonal accessories.
10. Use Mason Jars
Keep small hardware items like nails and screws in a Mason jar with a screw-top cover. Make sure to label each jar for extra organizational cohesion.
11. Use Slatwall Storage
Slatwalls can add extra vertical space for storage to the inside of your garage, which is very handy if you do not wish to drill any holes into the walls. Slatwalls sit flush against walls to maximize your floor space. Utilize hooks that slide into slats to store things such as tote bags, chairs, or bicycles.
12. Make DIY Shelves
Are you looking to save a few bucks regarding your garage storage solutions?
Build shelves on your own! If you wish to provide your garage with a handy storage solution while getting crafty, making DIY shelves will work and provide you with a budget-friendly project. All you’ll require is a power drill, a saw, and some plywood boards.
13. Consider a Car Lift
Do you have two vehicles but a garage that only holds one vehicle? Maybe you’re temporarily storing a damaged vehicle after a minor car accident. Consider a car lift to park two vehicles in your garage.
Whether you can fit a car lift in your garage will depend on its height. If the door to your garage opens at a height that isn’t high enough, you may be able to reconfigure the opening height of the door with a high lift conversion.
A four-post car lift allows you to drive a vehicle onto a ramp and hoist it up so you can park another vehicle beneath it. This makes four-post car lifts ideal for those who wish to maximize the garage's vehicle storage space. Two-post car lifts are also available and are suited for those who like to maintain their vehicles in their garage.
