Today’s Garage Space
Today’s garages are no longer the spider-infested extra-‘stuff’ store houses of yester-year. As the main living spaces, outdoor spaces and home amenities evolve, so goes the garage. More beautiful and decorative exteriors have grown to complement the overall home design. Organizational systems featuring bins, pull-out drawers, baskets, shelving, cabinets, workbenches, wall hooks and closets are functional and popular. Hanging garden tools and bicycles eliminates tripping hazards, scratched vehicles and allows for items to be quick-at-hand.
Homeowners often upgrade to a 3-car or oversized 2-car garage. Extra space in the garage that can be used as a workshop, hobby space or additional built-in storage adds value and is a bonus for those seeking more space, especially if your home is on the market.
Another garage trend is painted or sealed floors. Special finishing techniques and polypropylene tiled floors provide a stylish, easy to clean surface while maintaining a friendly environment for the family. Some are making a trend of expanding playrooms, recreation or media rooms into the garage. Locked storage cabinets and high racks make the garage safer than ever while increased efficiency and building technologies make living spaces comfortable.
No matter the tastes, trends or imaginations, garages are moving on up. Keep the selections and options affordable but impactful and you’ll see a great return on your garage investment.

My husband loves our new garage. He installed the sealed floors, polishes them every week and has made the whole space a showroom for his cars. He put memorabilia on the wall, seating for his friends and built a workshop with bench and adjustable tool storage. Now when the guys come over, that’s where they hang out.
A 3rd car is a must for those moving from areas where they had a basement. We all have too much stuff and are not willing to give it up…
