When most people think of a garage they imagine a place to put a car, store tools and anything else that you don’t want or have room for in the house. While that was certainly the traditional use for a garage in the past, garages of the future have opened up a wealth of opportunities to utilize this space in new and innovative ways. The days of garages only being used for cars and storage are over because homeowners are now remodeling their garages to use for a new living space, hobby room, lounge room and guestroom.
Preparing For Your Garage Makeover
Even though garages have had a long reputation of being an unfinished extension of a home only used for storage of items you don’t want inside your actual living space, there are many more options available today. If you use your garage to park your car in, then you likely simply park it and walk immediately into your home. It seems like you should get more use out of a garage than simple storage. With a few upgrades your garage can be morphed into one of the most useful and pleasant rooms in your home.
The following are some considerations when in the planning stages of your garage remodeling project:
Garage Door: Will you be keeping your garage door intact or will you want it replaced with a wall and regular door, or perhaps just a wall and you enter the garage from your home. Replacing the garage door with a wall and door will give you more wall space to work with, which is beneficial if you want to have somewhere to hang things. You could also place home windows and a door in the wall so it looks just like any other room in your home.
Flooring: Most garages have a simple cement floor, but it is easy to place actual flooring on top of the cement and use it as a base. You could install wood flooring, tile, vinyl or even carpeting to make the room as homey as you want it. If you’re turning your garage into a workout or yoga room, then you could also place down rubber mats over the cement floor.
Lighting: Your garage likely has basic lighting, perhaps fluorescent lamps hanging overhead, but you’ll probably want something different if you plan to remodel it into a room. Depending on the type of room you’re intending your garage to become, you could choose to have actual light fixtures installed just like the ones in your home or create an entirely new lighting scheme.
Wi-Fi: If you’re turning your garage into a media or recording room then you’ll want to make sure you have a reliable internet connection. You may be able to utilize a wireless router if you have one in your home, or you can have wiring installed so you can hook up to your cable or phone internet directly in your garage. Your garage no longer has to be a glorified storage or parking space. Instead, it can be a room that reinvents your daily lifestyle for many years to come.

Popular Ideas for Remodeling Your Garage
For most homeowners the garage is one of the most under-utilized areas of the home. A garage is typically used for storage, but that job could easily be handled by other areas such as a shed or attic. Remember, your garage already has walls, a floor, roof and probably electrical hookups as well. It already has all the makings of an excellent room and there are many fascinating ideas to remodel your garage into an extraordinary living space.
Home Gym
Are you tired of having to go back and forth to the gym or leaving weights lying around the house? Then why not convert your garage into a home gym completed with all the amenities of a professional gym. Walls can be put up and painted, lights installed, rubber mats placed onto the floor and racks installed to store your weights. The room can be climate controlled and made comfortable for a great workout.
Hobby Rooms
Consider transforming your garage into a room dedicated to your hobbies. If you are into working on cars then your garage can be remodeled to include shelving, countertops and wall space to hang your tools on. If you are into gardening then your garage can be remodeled to contain easy storage areas for pots, bags of soil, seeds and gardening tools. Gaming enthusiast?
