Is your garage currently cluttered? Or maybe it’s a blank canvas that you’re eager to design. Either way, a well-organized garage can be helpful!

5 Garage Renovation Ideas That Will Keep You in the Garage
Sometimes an entire garage remodel is not necessary to get the most out of your space. And, it can be pretty costly.
For most, all that’s needed are a few installations and cosmetic touch-ups. Here are 5 ideas to get you started!
1. Paint
One of the easiest ways to make a building more appealing is to paint it. If the paint on your garage is dingy and dirty, or chipped and worn, consider giving it a fresh coat of paint to brighten up your home or yard.
If you have an attached garage, be sure to paint it the same color as the rest of the home. Painting the interior is also a great way to liven up space.
2. Install Shelving Units
Sometimes people treat their garages like black holes – everything just accumulates there, and there’s no real purpose for it. However, installing shelving units with cabinets or shelves creates an organized space. This is especially helpful if you spend a lot of time in the garage.
Even if you don’t frequent the garage, having cabinets or storage units is helpful because clutter no longer piles up.
3. Insulation and Flooring
If you have big plans for your garage and want to make it livable, you’ll need to insulate the building. Doing so creates a more comfortable environment.
Most garage floors are made of concrete, which isn’t exactly the most welcoming. Picking a new flooring for your garage is ideal, and there’s plenty of garage flooring colors available to fit your needs or vision.
4. Clear the Clutter
If you cannot install any shelving or cabinet systems, cleaning out the garage is the next best step. There’s probably old tools or other objects that you likely don’t use anymore and are taking up valuable space. Consider gathering all the pieces you no longer use and throw a garage sale to earn some extra cash.
If not, you can always donate them to charity if they’re in good condition.
5. New Garage Door
Is your garage door bent up, or just old? Install a new one!
Installing a new garage door can do wonders for the exterior of your garage. In some cases, it changes the look entirely! If your current garage door is functioning and a new one is out of budget, don’t forget that painting the door can make just as big of an impact!
Be sure to choose a color that’s already present on the exterior of your home.
