In the top 10 “must haves” that home buyers look for is a garage with plenty of space for vehicles, storage, and tools. A custom garage is not just a closed box where you park your car at night; homeowners in Indiana use their garage to store summer lawn furniture in the winter, all types of gardening tools and, in many cases, a well-outfitted workshop.
When designing a custom garage, there are many things to consider and many ways to make the most out of the available space.
- Add Space Overhead for Storage
If you look up in most garages, you will see a great deal of unused space. Space is always at a premium around any home, so why waste this valuable space in your garage? It takes very little to install a plywood floor over the ceiling joists, once the floor has been installed you now have a perfect spot to install overhead storage racks for such things as seasonal home décor, empty picnic coolers, patio furniture and toys that the kids have grown out of or no longer use.
- Add Storage Space on the Walls
There are well thought out wall storage systems available, or your garage builder can design and build a custom system. A simple design using peg-board and open slats will allow you to hang bicycles on the wall rather than have them clutter the garage, and you can install any combination of bins and shelving.
- Add Custom Cabinets
Custom designed and built cabinets are as useful in the garage as they are in the home. Anything can be tucked away, out of sight, out of mind. Custom cabinets can take advantage of every available space, regardless of the size or shape and are perfect for storing expensive items such as your tools.
A custom designed and built garage means different things to different people, the common denominator is the use of space as best suits you.
