The home décor ideas have been changed dramatically in past few years. Previously, the designs were only focused on the interior part of the home. But nowadays people are focusing on the exterior part of the home as well along with the interior. A well-balanced design is necessary to increase the functionality of indoor and outdoor space of a home.

One of the most neglected parts of the home is garage. But a garage plays the vital role in keeping your car safe and storing different things. Many people use the garage as a storage place for stuffing the unused equipment and elements of the home. As a result, it becomes very congested place soon and leaves its charm and functionality. A garage should complement the whole design of your home. It should have particular purposes and serve you in different needs. Few things you need to look for while designing a garage are-

Few families have more than one car while some families have only one car.  If you are a car enthusiast and have more than one or two cars, you definitely need to have a big space to accommodate all your cars. If you have only one car and have no plan of increasing the number of cars, you can keep your garage simple and small.

Some prefer to have a big space in their garage to make it more functional. If you have more space in your garage, you can use the space for your specific needs. You can set up a workshop in your garage. Few things like garden cleaning equipment, lawn mower, etc. can’t be kept inside home.  You can store these necessary things in your garage

The design and layout of your garage will be depended on your specific needs. If you only keep your car in the garage, you don’t need to think about organizing much. You can put on some bright colors on the wall of your garage. You can also arrange enough lighting option there. Some prefer to keep an open roof on the garage. If your garage has the open roof and there is no option to cover the roof, you need to take extra precautions for the car. You have to buy all weather car covers for your car. This car cover will protect your car from the different weather.

If you want to use your garage for multipurpose, it is better to organize your garage. You can make racks, cupboards, etc. to store different things in your garage.

It can be attached or detached

The garage can be attached or detached to your home. If the design and space of your home allow you, you should make an attached garage. An attached garage can provide different benefits to you. You will get to have the option of entering your home without exposing yourself to bad weather condition.

Yet, the detached garage has different benefits too. It is usually located in the corner or opposite side of your home. You can use your detached garage in different ways like play zone for the kids, completing your DIY projects, etc.

It should have a convenient access point

Your garage should have a convenient access point for you and your car. Your car should enter the garage easily without any hassle. The central door of your home should be in the right position from your garage. If you have a detachable garage, you should keep an easy option to enter into your garage. You can keep an extra door also in your garage. It will help your car enter there easily.

If you have an attached garage it should have two doors. One door is required to connect your home and garage. The other door is required for connecting the central door and the garage.
