Many times, garage makes another room for your party. In addition to organizing stuffs, and tiding it up, you should consider adding a table that will serve as a workbench while you are working in the garage and a serving cart for your weekend party.
Softwood board will make a decent material and laminating will make pristine finish for a party table. Make sure it has shelves below to store your tools so you can serve the drink on top. Every time you host a party, you can swipe the room right away.

3. Stenciled Storage
Do you know that decorating the garage with storage rack is possible? It is possible if you use stencilled rack on the wall. Choose stencil on the colors you like, adjusting to your interior style and appeal. Hang a stencil board, about ½ x 1 ½ meters size, and put on a frame.
Then, categorize your stuff and hang each category on one specific stencilled rack. While it makes the garage a lot tidier, it will look nice, like a wall decor. Try wooden frame for a little class.
4. Movie Room
The best thing about a garage is that you can always spare extra room for other purposes. This time, you should consider adding a movie room inside. It takes a little effort to make sections in the garage but you don’t need to border the sections with anything.
Just set up one side of the wall and bold your movie set on the wall. Add a rug, a couch, and a little table nearby. Adding a little padding on the garage wall is also wise to make sure neighbours aren’t disturbed by the sound later.
5. Garage with Bar
Who doesn’t love a bar every now and then? Instead of leaving one side of the garage empty and clutters start to fill it, work on some organizing for your tools and stuffs on the either side of the room. Spare one wall of the garage and build booze rack and shelves on it.
For a complete bar look, add the bar table with stools and the accessories. Every time you invite the neighbour for a drink and a little chat, you don’t have to invite them inside.
6. Home Office in the Garage
This is another day of making over your garage. If your garage happens to be vacant all the time with nothing to do in it, you can transform all the room as a home office. Instead, you can take a section of your garage and remaking it. Use the tall shelves as book shelves after refinishing it with different color.
Take a section of the working table as your office table. Add comfortable chair and reading lamp for more elaborated office. Rugs and wall paintings should be added too to make contrast difference with your garage section.
7. Your Own Gym
This is the perfect idea of making over your garage if you love to work out a lot. A garage has the space, it has the height, and it has the entire other elements to make a decent gym.
You may need to install several exercise tools and gears here. Add some mattresses for a little safety and make sure it has good circulation for working out.
8. Kids Play Room
Of course a garage can make a great play room for the kids. You only need to refinish the room with more cheerful colors so your kids love it instantly.

It will be spacious enough for your kids to play and even invite the neighbour kids. Plus, you can say good bye to the cluttering toys in the house problem.
9. Art Studio
The best thing of transforming your garage into an art studio is how you get all the space and the tall wall for yourself. You’ll get more than enough room to work on your art, set it aside for a while, to display it and anything else.
You only need to remove the wall storage and replace it with wall mounted table for your tools. Wide and clear window to get you a glimpse of the outdoor for inspiration, and stool to sit while working will be enough for the room.
10. Man Cave
This room may be specially addressed for the man of the house, yet your wife will love it too. Gaming, some booze, movie night, a little quiet cave for your hobbies will be perfect here. Add pairs of couches and sofas, bar and the table, tv set, and other things you will need while you’re here. You won’t be disturbed by anyone, and no one is disturbed by you as well.
