4 Easy Ideas for Garage Remodeling

Transforming your garage into additional space for work or play doesn't have to be difficult. There are easy garage remodeling ideas that you can implement by investing in additional lighting or heating when needed.

Assuming your garage has electrical outlets, you can remodel it without the need to hire garage contractors if you implement one of these simple ideas:

1 - Studio

Many artists and musicians started in their parents' garage. It is the perfect place at home to make music or paint. It's easy to convert a garage into a music studio. Soundproof the walls and spread music equipment around the room so you don't overload an electrical outlet. An art studio is even easier to set up. Store all your art supplies in plastic tubs, tablets and shelves and you can work safely in your garage. With both music and art studio, you should still have space to store other home and outdoor items. This garage remodeling idea will bring you great satisfaction, and you could make good money from it along the way.

2 - Preservation and Preservation of Food

Small homes can benefit from garage remodeling which gives them the tools and space for appliances to store more food. For example, a chest freezer can take up a lot of space in a kitchen, especially if it's also an eat-in kitchen. Also, if you are a "conservator" or use the dehydrator during the harvest months, it can be difficult to work in a small kitchen. A simple garage remodeling idea that can simplify food storage and preservation tasks is to turn it into a "food hub". Move any appliances you only use once in a while to the garage, like a grain grinder, and extra-large appliances, like a second refrigerator.

3 - Laundry

A garage attached to your home will have plumbing. If it's already available, connecting a washer and dryer should be straightforward. Add some accessories to the garage that aren't already available, like a long work table for folding clothes and shelves for storing laundry supplies, and you've got a useful laundry room. This is a big deal if you have a growing family and need more space to do laundry. It's even better if you decide to do other people's laundry as a side business from home.

4 - Small Business Office

A simple idea for garage remodeling is to create a small business office in the garage. Space heaters and fans work well in a garage where heating and cooling may not be connected, so there are no worries about the temperature while working. This could also make it easier to clear that area for tax purposes, as long as you don't also park in the garage. It might also give you the privacy you need away from family during business hours. Add floor and desk lamps if you need more lighting to go about your business.

All of these garage construction and remodeling ideas are easy to implement, which means you can be sure to give it a try. You can change your mind and start over without worrying about spending too much money on remodeling.
