Since the pandemic began, homeowners have had to figure out how to make every square inch of their properties usable. Clutter simply will not do!

Lately, they’re looking at the garage, adding functionality to the space besides just parking. The garage also could serve as a gym, play area, or home office.

Homeowners are taking a particular interest in renovating the garage because it’s often the largest open area in their home.  The most common requests involve making the garage more functional and multipurpose, adding storage, or a hobby area.

The garage—which buyers named as one of their top five home features to make useful-  (and also to be used as a place to host open-air events) was the most popular.

I suggest two common ways to renovate a garage without a complete overhaul:

• Refinish the typically cold flooring in the garage to make it feel more livable. For example, use Floortex, which is a five-step coating process to dress up the floor.
• Add cabinetry, wire shelving, or wall-mounted organizers to reduce clutter, which commonly builds in garages. Think vertical storage!  This way, you can use the extra storage for everything from sporting equipment to seasonal decorations.

Happy organizing!  Let me know what you chose- I'd love to know!
