Many homeowners simply use their garages for storing things in, and while they do make great spaces for storage, they can be used for so much more. During lockdown periods when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its height, for example, many families wished they had more space to utilize, even if only to escape certain family members for a few hours!
If your garage is large – as so many are – and is used for storing items or simply as a dumping ground for junk or old furniture, why not have it renovated and made into a space you can actually use? From a playroom for the kids to a workshop, office or even a lounge or bedroom, your garage can become so much more, for so little.
