If you’re looking for a project to embark on this summer, and are unable to take a vacation, or if you want to take advantage of the warm weather, home improvements could be near the top of the list. The garage, often a repository for unused items that are cluttering up the house, is a great place to start.
However, to take your garage to the next level, you must start treating it like you would any other area of the home.
Why should you improve your garage?
The garage is a versatile area; it is often spacious but too frequently full of junk to make use of its true potential. Converting a garage opens up a world of opportunities and can improve house parties, or provide an area for studying or painting, or simply a better space for storing larger items or even vehicles. The following steps will help you to turn your tired garage into an outstanding extension to your home.
-
New kit
Firstly, your garage should be kitted out with the best equipment, storage, furniture or vehicles possible. However, this will depend on what you intend to use it for, of course. If the garage will function as a place to store your cars or motorbikes, think about upgrading your vehicles as well as the room itself. Superb deals are available at bmgscooters.com if you are looking for a stunning new motorbike to take out on weekend trips, and with a Suzuki or Vespa to admire and show off, you will likely be spending more time in the garage pretty quickly.
-
Organization
Once you have the kit you’re going to fill the garage with, get your organization right. Too many garages are filled with unused items that are thrown in as and when they clutter up the house. Garage storage solutions are easy to come by and will help free up space for your shiny new vehicle. Try picking a dry day to move everything out of your garage before putting it all back in using an orderly, pre-planned system.

Convert for hosting
If you’re not heading out on a motorbike ride weekend, you might prefer to host a party or to watch a big soccer match. Converting your garage into a hosting space takes time and, unless you are into DIY or are a professional builder, money for builders and materials. Converting your garage will be one of the best investments you make, and you will love the extra space it gives you.

Hold a yard sale
Once you have cleared out and then organized your garage – either to create a parking space or a room to socialize in – you will likely have accumulated a large pile of unwanted items. Put those old DVD players, wonky tables and unused skateboards to good use by holding a yard sale. You could either travel to a nearby gathering or advertize your belongings on Facebook Marketplace.
