If your garage is looking a bit worse for wear, is full to the brim of junk or you simply want to give it a makeover, then there are plenty of things that you can do to spruce up the area and make your garage useable again. Below are four easy steps to giving your garage the ultimate revamp and to getting organised again.


Declutter

Your garage has most likely become a bit of a dumping ground for all of the things you don’t really know what to do with: bikes, tools, the lawn mower, garden furniture, sports equipment… the list is endless. The first step to take towards revamping your garage is decluttering. Go through your garage and sort through all of the items in there, putting them into various piles: Keep, Bin, Sell and Donate. There are likely to be things that you haven’t used in years in there and if this is the case then get rid of them. The chances are, you won’t be using them in the next few years either.


Scrub the floor

Now that your garage has officially been decluttered, move everything that you have chosen to keep in your garage outside. This will leave you with a completely empty space and a blank canvas to start planning your revamp. The floor of your garage will most likely be a bit dirty, so it’s a good idea at this point to give it a good scrub. It’s amazing how different a garage can look just with a clean floor! You can easily clean a concrete garage floor with a stiff deck brush and some detergent.

Organise your stuff

Once your garage is empty and clean, it is time to organise everything back in. Instead of taking the easy option and cramming everything back into boxes and putting them inside, come up with some effective storage solutions. In order to maximise space, floor-to-ceiling shelves are a great option. Wall racks and pegboards are both minimal and flexible, providing an area to keep those random items that you don’t know what to do with off the floor. If you do want to organise your garage items back into boxes then investing in transparent boxes will make it far easier for you to locate things in the future.

Upgrade your garage door

Upgrading your garage door can completely transform the look of your garage, both inside and out. Installing a new garage door comes with many other benefits. Did you know that a high-quality garage door can actually add value to your house? Our garages can be home to some of our most favourite and expensive items, and adding a new garage door will provide you with peace of mind that your possessions are securely and safely stored away while providing a whole new look.
