3 Garage Trends to Watch in 2017

February 1, 2020| Garage Envy| 0 Comment

As a homeowner, you want to not just maintain your property, but occasionally improve it. Doing so helps keep property values in the neighborhood up and will ensure that your home maintains or improves in value. Besides. the occasional home improvement can make life more convenient or more comfortable for you, too. One part of the home that’s often overlooked when it’s time for upgrades and renovations is the garage. A garage upgrade could have a big impact on the value of your home and on your day-to-day life. Take a look at the garage trends that are likely to be popular in 2017. One of them may be just what your home needs.

More Space

Garage trends: clean, organize, decorate
At one time, a two car garage may have been a luxury. Now it’s the bare minimum. Prospective homeowners are looking for more space than ever before. There are many reasons why bigger and bigger garages are becoming more desirable. Some people have different cars for summer and winter, or separate vehicles for work and personal use. Families with teenagers or college students living at home may have three or more drivers in the home, each with their own vehicle. Many homeowner associations prohibit parking on the street or even in the driveway, making it vital for homeowners to have enough garage space for all of the family vehicles.

That’s why expanding your garage may be the way to go if you’re looking for a valuable improvement to make on your home. Going from a two car garage to a three or four car garage can increase your home’s market value. If you can’t expand out, you may be able to expand up – car elevators, which allow you to elevate one car and create a new parking space underneath, are becoming more affordable and more commonplace in many homes.

Better Organization

Garage trendsNo one likes a messy garage. As much as home buyers want enough garage space for their vehicles, it’s important to remember that garages are not just for car storage. They also function as additional home storage, and at the same time, many homeowners also use them for additional living space – a garage can be a great place to set up a table for a big family dinner or chairs so that people at an outdoor party have a place to sit in the shade.

In order for a garage to do triple duty as a place for vehicle storage, a place for home storage, and living space, the garage needs to be organized. In a messy garage, there may not be enough room for anything. Cabinets, shelves, pegboard or slatwall for hanging items, overhead storage bins, and other organizational items make it easier for the garage to do everything it needs to do. Outfitting your garage with handy organizational items will make your home more valuable.

Finishing Touches

Why leave your garage walls unfinished or the floors unsealed? A garage is more visually appealing when it’s got tiled floors or finished ceilings and walls, and adding these touches can also protect your garage from deterioration. Take the time to give your garage an updated look.

Improving your garage is a big task, so don’t try it alone. Contact us for a Free design consultation and estimate.{{cta(‘4e0ca529-46da-44c8-acce-dd815d6ec4bc’,’justifycenter’)}}
