SMALL GARAGE? DON'T WORRY, WE'LL MAKE THE MOST OF IT!

Just because you have a small garage doesn't mean you can't make the most of the space. Even though your car will take up most of it, there are beautifully decorated garages that are tiny.

So, let's see what can be done to this garage to unlock its full potential, what do you think?

Choose the right color

Let's get to the most important thing, which is choosing the right color. In this case, given that it's such a narrow and small space, have you considered painting the garage white with a gray tint?

We've mentioned many times that these colors help make a space seem larger , and it's perfect for these situations.

Choosing the furniture

Do you have a lot of tools ? A lot of things stored in boxes because you don't have space? Great, then these are the pieces of furniture you need:

Wardrobes

It's clear that you need some cupboards in this space. These can be on just one side of the room, where they're easily accessible , and not too high so that reaching their contents isn't difficult, but high enough so that children can't reach them.

In this way, dangerous products will not be so easily accessible to them.

Shelving

Shelving is a must-have in any good garage, as it helps keep everything well-organized. Metal shelving is a great option, and you can also find many accessories for this system . You'll be able to organize everything efficiently by section.

Hangers

It's a great idea because you can keep everything organized on your garage walls, making the most of the space. Bicycles, garden tools, children's toys.

Tool cabinets

Some tools, like screwdrivers and hammers, don't need to be hung up or in plain sight. Buy a metal cabinet with drawers to organize them.

It will be very practical and you won't have any trouble finding what you need.

Boxes

When we told you not to use boxes, we meant cardboard boxes. Wooden or plastic boxes are good for organizing certain things . They're classic and versatile.

Wardrobes

If the car has a wide space, you can have a large cupboard where you can put some items under lock and key, so that the children cannot access them.

Do you always have to keep your car in the garage?

Since the garage is connected to your house, you should ask yourself, does the car always have to be parked inside the garage? Because there are days when it really isn't necessary.

Therefore, you could set up a work table, with some drawers, to do small DIY projects around the house (it's the best way to save money when decorating).

You can even take advantage of the garage layout with all the furniture we've indicated to buy some heavier tools, and work comfortably.

What if I don't have a car?

Well, if you don't have a car, things change a bit. Because there are many ideas for small garages that you can take advantage of.

Our recommendation? That this space become a private space for the family member who has nothing in the rest of the house.

You can turn it into a second living room for when you have visitors, an entertainment room to watch football matches or a game show, or a games room.

Even if it's small, couldn't you put in an air hockey table? Or a ping pong table? You're sure to have a lot of wasted space and you haven't even realized it!

Now, let's consider what we said earlier: it can be a place to do DIY projects at home, so having walls with cabinets, drawers, and tool hooks would be a good idea.

If you're a collector, it can also be a place to display your collection. Or you could turn it into a small plant nursery if you adapt it well. Decorating a garage is fun because you have so many options.

Of course, keep in mind that in the future you might need to store a car in the garage, so it's a space that will eventually have another use, and you should think about that carefully before doing anything.
