5 Ways You Should Show Some Love To Your Garage
Does your garage need a little tender love and care? The garage is often a part of the house that we neglect when it comes to updates and cleaning because the stresses of cleaning the actual house can be too much. We will share some tips today to help you be sure that you show your garage the love that it really needs.
Update the Paint
If the inside of your garage is unpainted or the current paint is old and chipping, think about renewing it with a new coat of bright, fresh paint. Whether you choose a color that’s bold or something a little more subtle, this is a great way to show your garage a little love. Depending on the size of your garage, this can be a very cost effective update, too, and one that will add a bit of value to your house.
Add Shelves
Adding a shelving unit to your garage is a great way to show it some love and increase the functionality. Depending on the amount of space you have and the quantity of items that need storage, you can decide what size unit is best. If you have a small garage, try to get a shelving unit that maximizes the amount of space you have! Shelving units are available at most stores, so feel free to browse around until you found one that fits your needs. When you combine a shelving unit with stacking plastic bins and hooks, you’ll find that you can greatly increase the amount of storage you can get out of your garage.
Update the Floor
The floor of the garage is something that often gets neglected. Installing new flooring in your garage is a great way to update the look of the garage because it will make the whole garage look more put together! This can also be a quick project depending on the type of floor you decide to go with. There are professionals who can install flooring or epoxy on your floor, and when you go with a professional you can expect better quality and results that will be long-lasting. But If you don’t want the expense of letting a professional do it, you could always paint the concrete floor or coat it in epoxy yourself.
Establish a Cleaning Schedule
Sometimes the garage can become a “catch-all” for overflow stuff that does not have a place in your home. The shelving units mentioned previously will help to organize your stuff, but having a cleaning schedule will help ensure that the garage is always spick and span! Don’t be afraid to sell or throw out items that you don’t need anymore. By getting rid of things you don’t want and don’t need, you’ll make it easier to store and utilize the things that you do love and need.
Update the Garage Doors
A lot of people have old garage doors. If this is your case, consider updating your garage doors to give the exterior of your garage an entirely new look. If your garage door is functioning just fine, but looks a little dingy, there are solutions for that. You can pressure wash it to blast away the grime that’s accumulated over the years, and you can also refresh the external paint to freshen up the appearance of you home from the curb. With small efforts, you can make the garage door look like new!
The tips we have shared are easy to implement and cost-effective. Your garage is sure to feel the love when you are finished implementing these tips!
