Since 63% of houses have a garage attached, chances are, you have one too.
However, not everyone wants to use it for their car. You may live somewhere where a car isn’t necessary, or be fine with parking in the driveway or street.
If you’re wondering what to do with your garage so it doesn’t go to waste, here are some ideas.
1. A Gaming Room
If you want a true man cave, you can always use your garage as a gaming room!
Plenty of people buy old arcade games, and a garage gives you the perfect place to set them up. You can also include consoles and start quite the collection. You might want to test my internet speed before you start putting consoles and other devices in the garage though, as that way you’ll know that they’ll receive sufficient signal and won’t stutter or drop out when playing online or watching movies.
If you’re a gaming enthusiast but have often thought you don’t have room for all you want to buy, now you do.
2. A Gym
A gym or workout room is another great option for a garage.
Many people would love the option for at-home workouts and training but don’t have the space for equipment. A garage provides the perfect room.
You don’t have to buy a lot of equipment. Even a couple of things will help, and a space that’s purely for working out to get you in the mindset.
3. Workshop
You can also use the garage as a workshop.
If you’re into crafts or DIY projects at home, it can be hard to find a space where it’s okay to make a mess. The garage space is perfect for that!
4. Storage
Storage is also a great use for your garage that’s severely underrated. Many people don’t have enough room in their house for storage, or simply acquire more and more stuff until the house feels cluttered.
This forces many people to end up getting rid of things or spending money on a storage unit they can’t really afford. Why do that when you can free up space in your garage?
It also helps to get the clutter out of your house and put you in a better state of mind.
5. A Simple Garage Refresh
It’s also fine to use it for car storage, as its intended purpose! You can still paint it inside or get a new garage door from somewhere like garageharmony.com to make the garage look awesome.
This is true of any purpose you use the garage for.
If you’re not really sure what to use the garage for, you can refresh it with a new door and lick of paint and just wait until inspiration strikes.
You Can Pick Any Option!
Just remember, you can use the garage space for whatever you like. You’re not obligated to use the space for your car but you also don’t have to change the purpose if you don’t want to!
There’s no rush. Consider what room you don’t have in your house that you want, even if it’s just another spare bedroom. The great thing about a garage is that it’s totally versatile and can be worked into anything.
