Why a Garage is for More Than Just Cars

We all know that traditionally garages are bought, built and used for storing your car.

However, we believe the space can be used for much more than just somewhere to keep your car warm and safe at night. Whether you use the area for its main purpose or not, it can serve as an exciting and innovative space for many other things. From a gym to an office space, or even a home cinema, a garage can be an inexpensive and convenient way to get the space you’ve always dreamt of. But in what way is a garage more than just storage room for your car?

Other Vehicles

It’s not just cars that need a home, other vehicles do too! You may be more of a two-wheel driver and sport a motorbike, or even a bicycle. These vehicles still need a place to live, and your garage could be the perfect place. By storing your bike in the extra space in the garage, you can save possible trips and slips over wheels and pedals in the hallway. You could even store all three vehicles in the garage, if the space is big enough. You could even invest in aa bike rack for the wall.

Wasted Space

If you don’t drive at all and have that extra space to your advantage, you can still put it to use. You don’t want the space to be wasted. There are all kinds of ways you can put the space to use, simply dependant on what you need to store. It may be a case of you just have a bit of clutter, and we know the statement “out of sight, out of mind” is true in this case. Whether it be some DIY tools, old children’s toys or bric-a-brac you are waiting to sell at the local car boot sale, a garage could be the perfect solution.

Office or Studio Use

Sometimes the house can be a disruptive place to work, especially if you have children, or even a dog. Sometimes the house may not even supply the kind of open space you require. A garage, if not in use by a vehicle, can be an excellent space to get into your work zone. Whether you are a painter, an accountant, or a joiner, by utilising the open space of a garage you can get some serious work done.


Home Gym

Monthly membership rates at a gym can be a bit steep, especially if you opt for a peak time membership. By using a garage space as a home gym, you won’t face any of these scary expenses, and you can visit the home gym at any time. Buying the equipment and stocking your own garage space out will work out much cheaper, and you can even bring friends round to take advantage of your new workout space.

Hybrid Room

The wonderful thing about a garage is that it can serve multiple purposes. If you are a jack of all trades, or simply have a lot going on, you could divide your garage up into different zones. One corner could be your office space, and the others could even be a workout zone, a corner for old clutter and the other for a sewing station or craft corner. Whatever you need the space for, garages tend to be big enough to use it for a variety of things.
