New possibilities for the home garage

By

The latest trend? A garage that gets used as much as the rest of the house!

Storage, storage and more storage

The key to transforming a garage that is used just for storage into a multifunctional room lies in freeing up the floor space by moving most stored items onto the walls and ceiling. Garage design these days is a byword for closed cabinets. With the explosion of the garage-design market, the availability of products specifically intended for the residential garage has expanded by leaps and bounds. Today’s modules come in an assortment of forms and dimensions, making it possible to choose a wide variety of configurations. Stable, resistant, compact and customized to meet personal requirements, the modules feature adjustable shelves and drawers capable of handling heavy loads. The good news for decorators is that these new models are practical and attractive. Between a Formula One mechanic’s workshop look and a high-tech kitchen one with integrated lighting and washtub, these modules are available in hardwood or steel and in a large range of colours and finishes. Prices vary accordingly. And a wall in Ferrari red or with stainless steel cabinets will lend your garage a certain cachet. You won’t be shy about leaving the garage door open!
