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.

A garage makes for a spectacular home extension, where this extra space can be used in a myriad of ways. Whether you need to store your vehicle out of harm’s way, or you require additional room for your belongings, a garage can meet all of your needs in a practical and secure manner. Often it is the garage door that allows you to secure your garage space, where these can be manually operated using a handle mechanism, or they can operate automatically, using an electrically powered system.

Read on to find out more about electric garage doors, with a look at how this kind of modern installation could transform your home. Enter With Ease One of the main advantages of choosing an electric garage door is that they can open without you having to do any heavy lifting. If you’re using your garage to store your vehicle, then you will be able to park without getting out of the car, as your garage will open either automatically or via an electronic button. Some electronic doors can be set to open on a timer, or they can be controlled via a smartphone app to make the process even easier. Attractive Designs Electronic garage doors are some of the sleekest on the market, because they are designed with modern technology at their core. As such, you will be able to choose from a range of attractive designs for your property, many of which will save you space in your garage as they won’t require a weighty manual mechanism in order to open and close. Extra Security When you invest in an electric garage door for your property, you are also making a smart security investment. This is because these doors are harder for intruders to break into than manual alternatives, helping to protect your vehicle or your stored belongings.
