So many people decide to get in shape as part of a New Year’s resolution, or even just on a whim throughout the year. Why limit yourself to that “whim” when you could just create a home gym in your garage?
Design - Garage
Both form and function of garages add increased worth to a home. The overall appearance of the property is more aesthetically pleasing with a well-designed garage adding to the home’s attractiveness, especially when it comes to resale.
Many people are in a situation right now where a home office is needed, but there doesn't seem to be enough space for it. One solution to this problem is looking to your garage. Turning it into a home office will offer a solution that doesn't mean taking up space used for other things in the home.
Just as the term man cave was coined to mean the perfect “male-only” place for guys to get together, indulge in their favorite hobby, watch some sports on TV, play a little pool all the while enjoying a cool beverage, women have come to carve out an area exclusively for them – the she shed.
How do you think of your garage? Or do you even think about it? Sure, it’s where you park your car to keep it out of the elements, pack away your patio furniture and protect your tools and mower. But worry about it? Give it more than a passing thought? Think about improvements? Probably not. Out of sight, out of mind.
We’re all looking for a house style that reflects who we are, one where we feel at home. Over the last few years, garage door manufacturers have been rethinking the look of garage doors and have come up with several new designs. One of the leaders in this is Garaga, a company that now has 24 different models, with 7 of them in the contemporary or modern category.
You’ve decided to build a garage. Will it be attached to your house or detached? Here are the factors, some of which you might not have thought of, to make an educated decision based on the pros and cons. We all know that garages are practical, especially for parking your car, but also for storing seasonal items such as bicycles and garden tools. Yet have you every toyed with the idea of creating a dream garage with ample space for your favorite hobby or for a leisure space?
So, once you’ve made the decision to give your garage a really good cleaning, why not apply a new coat of paint? However, before throwing yourself into this project, it would be wise to plan the sequence of tasks to undertake and make a list of the materials you will need.
Most of the time, we think of the garage as a place to park our car, or instead a spot reserved for a DIY or amateur mechanic’s workshop. Who says it can’t be turned into a scrapbooking studio?
