D E S I G N + B U I L D BrandPointContent.com edited by YourVilla Staff Transform your garage into a multi-purpose powerhouse A garage is no longer just a place to park your car. Today’s garages are agile and multifunctional, extending living space and elevating a homeowner’s lifestyle. The desire to use the garage for new purposes is a top trend with homeowners nationwide. Here are some tips to help you design a space ideal for your needs while enhancing your home’s value: Add storage One of the primary things that separates a stereotypical garage from an enviable one is the organization. Clutter on top of clutter inhibits the multifunctional potential of the space. To start, get rid of junk, sort through necessities and transform the space to optimize organization. That means installing shelving and utilizing vertical space. Enclosed cabinets are ideal for limiting dust and keeping personal items out of sightlines from the road. Label and use storage boxes to stay organized, especially with seasonal supplies only needed at certain times of year. Make it a multifunctional space Multifunction is the key for the ultimate garage, and no matter what your interests, you can customize the space to fit your needs. A workbench is a must-have for many, with ample space to tinker and make. For gearheads, a car lift might be a worthy investment. For those focused on health, installing workout equipment makes sense. Adding a TV might be a given, whether it’s to stream workouts or to watch the game. Keep in mind, you should add extras to enhance your comfort so you can get the most out of your time in the garage. Proper task lighting is essential. Finally, upgrading flooring turns any garage into an eye-catching hot spot. 32 | Your Villa Magazine Free Estimates 760-831-6601 Locally Owned and Family Operated Since 2016 https://www.instagram.com/taylor_garage_doors_and_gates/ SILHOUETTE ® WINDOW SHADINGS LUMINETTE ® PRIVACY SHEERS POWERVIEW MOTORIZED SHADES • SOLAR SUN SHADES VERTICALS • DUETTE ® HONEYCOMB SHADES FREE IN-HOME ESTIMATE 760-340-4743 73-960 Hwy 111 #2 www.blinds-etc.com BLIND REPAIRS BLIND CLEANING for Appointment Text/Call Shawn 760-673-9135 • Help reduce your monthly utility costs with Hunter Douglas shades specifically designed to provide year-round insulation • Contribute to a more sustainable environment by lowering your energy use Contact Us to Learn More Save when temps heat up *For tax credit details and restrictions and a list of qualifying products, see the Manufacturer’s Certification Statement and FAQs at www.hunterdouglas.com/tax-credit.
