Improve the Most Visible Room in your Home - The Garage

Sometimes garages are the most ignored spaces in people’s homes.  What people don’t realize is that neighbors and members of the community see the inside of your garage more than they see your living room or kitchen!

Think about it.  How many times do you have your garage door open during the day? You pull your car in and out, you have it open on weekends to cut the grass, work on home improvement projects, etc.  That means people passing by in their cars; neighbors out and about in their yards and people strolling down the sidewalk all have a great look into your garage which all in all is an extension of your home.

When neighbors look into your garage what do they see?  Do they see the same attractive, organized, functional space like the rest of your home, or do they see a room full of clutter and chaos?

There are many ways to make your garage not only organized, but attractive as well.  One of the best ways to accomplish this is creative storage solutions like these:

Affordable, open shelving creates a neat appearance as well as making all your belongings easy to find. 

Closed custom cabinetry not only offers organization it gives your garage a high-end feel. 

 Another custom cabinetry look.  Perfect for a potting station.  Installing a sink would make for easy clean up and plant watering

Inexpensive wall hanging racks make your yard tools easily accessible and get rid of the clutter in the corners of your garage.

Do you need more than a rack?  Why not try a whole wall! 

These sports lockers not only look great but your kids will love having their own lockers to store their sports equipment and hang their coats and backpacks when they get home from school.

Now that we have your storage options covered, let's move on to flooring.  Garage floor coverings come in two styles – mats and tiles. They’re both fairly easy to install, are great looking, and strong enough to support cars and car jacks. 

These are just a few ideas on how to make the most visible room in your home a real head-turner. As always, if you need a friendly hand to help with your garage projects, call Michael Blanchard at 513-203-1965 or email michaelblanchardhandyman@gmail.com to get a free estimate.
