If you have a garage, you are likely not utilizing the space to its maximum capacity. Even if your automobile takes a spot, you can still do so much to elevate the space. No matter what you want to do with your garage, everyone should consider some of these basic ideas for remodeling or renovating your garage.
Lighting
One of the simplest ideas for remodeling or renovating your garage is adjusting the lighting. Often, garages tend to be dreary and bleak because they have little natural light exposure. A small lamp likely lights most of your space. Consider installing recessed, high bay, or flush-mount LED lights to counteract the drab lighting.
You may want to consider purchasing garage doors with windows; this will let in some much-appreciated natural light.
Diamond Plates
There are several reasons to install diamond plates. They are a fun way to elevate the look of your garage. They add a look of professionalism, elegance, and simplicity to the space. Many choose to go with the popular gunmetal gray as it helps reflect their lighting, allowing the space to appear brighter. You can also create a specific energy or feel to your area since diamond plates come in different colors. They usually come in gray, black, red, and sometimes white.
Painting
When you think about your garage, you might automatically associate it with the color gray. There is certainly nothing wrong with the color. But you should consider painting the walls if you want to customize and spruce up your look. A sleek off-white or vibrant cream paint usually works best in garages as they help brighten up the space. Keep in mind that nothing is off limits with a garage. You can paint the walls and the floors!
Garage floors are smooth surfaces perfect for a nice coat of paint. There are also so many unique ways to customize the floor as well. For example, applying an uneven coat of different but complementary paint colors and finishing it off with a resin application creates a wonderous marble gloss texture.
