At Neighborhood Garage Door Service of New Haven, Connecticut, we get repair calls for garage doors in all sorts of homes. We have seen some truly creative uses of your garage space over the years that really take advantage of the space. Check out these 4 that really stood out to us.
Jam Sessions
Garages have been a go-to space for start-up bands for generations now. The advent of streaming music services and video platforms means that you don’t have to just play for you and your family. You can now set up a space that can be used to create content that can be viewed across the globe.
Pick a wall with plenty of space and give it a creative paint job to serve as a backdrop for your band. Arrange your equipment so that the acoustics work best for your recording and appearance. Then get yourself a tripod to mount your smartphone on and start filming! Upload your content and see what kind of response you get!
Play Area
If your home doesn’t have enough space for a dedicated play area for your kids, utilizing your garage could be ideal. It gives them a place they can call their very own, as well as getting some distance for noise-sake. It may only be realistic to use it seasonally as the weather allows, but it’s still helpful.
Lay down some cheap area rugs to keep their feet off the cold concrete floor. Set up some fun, comfy furniture, and possibly electronics like TV/DVD and stereos. Then, let them bring in whatever toys they want to keep there.
Podcast Studio
Podcasting is like a modern online take on radio programming that has increased greatly in recent years. It’s a great hobby that also has the potential to grow into a side gig or even a full-time career. Having a dedicated space set up for recording can give you a huge boost in quality and give your audience a better experience.
Most garages are too big and echoey to be able to record in on a regular basis. You’ll want to wall off a corner of the garage into a small, soundproof studio that will allow you to record in ideal conditions. Be sure to run the proper electrical wiring needed and get some air conditioning and heat set up.
The Tiny Home Trend
People are experimenting a lot with building fully-functioning living spaces in very few square feet of building. You could turn your garage into a living area for one of your older children, or even as a rental. It’ll take some creativity, but could be a great investment.
