Take advantage of the extra room in your garage when your car\u2019s away on rental \u2014 your\u00a0<\/span>dream space could be right in your own home. What you do with your vacant garage is limited only by your imagination, but we\u2019ve put together a few suggestions that you can create with just a few tweaks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Band practice<\/span><\/h3>\n

The term garageband didn\u2019t come from nowhere. While there might not be room to store big instruments when your car\u2019s at home, when it\u2019s out, the garage can transform into the perfect jam space. Let your (or your kids) musical inspiration flow freely just by hooking up a mic and\u00a0<\/span>bringing out the instruments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoga studio or home gym<\/h3>\n

Eliminate the excuse of not having time to make it to the gym by putting one in your house. Whether your preferences lean towards weight-lifting or yoga, you can make your garage a space to sweat when your car\u2019s out on the town. Equipment that\u2019s easy to store and also leaves room for a personal workout space, includes free weights, yoga mats, exercise ball, stretch bands, and jump ropes.<\/p>\n

Photography studio<\/span><\/h3>\n

Whether you want to set up a backdrop and lighting to take portraits or just use your empty garage as a quiet space to edit photos, it doesn\u2019t take too much to convert it into a studio for shooting, developing, or experimenting with photos. Equipment can be shelved when your car\u2019s in the garage and set back up when it\u2019s away.<\/p>\n

Game room<\/span><\/h3>\n

Your game room can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be \u2014 keep board games in drawers or shelves and get a cozy rug to unroll when the time\u2019s right. Invest in a foldable ping pong table or hang dart boards to pump up the competition. A mini fridge for easy snack access is the finishing touch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Play space<\/h3>\n

If you have little ones in the house, you can create a safe play space to keep those toddler messes centralized outside of the main home zones. Create boundaries with baby gates, lay down rubber matting or a comfy carpet that can easily roll up, and pull out the toy bins to customize the space for your kids\u2019 ages.<\/p>\n

Crafting area<\/h3>\n

Whether your interests tend towards model airplanes or sewing, your empty garage can be the perfect place to pursue passion projects. Sewing machines and crafting supplies can easily be stowed away while the car is parked and arrange on a foldable desk or table when the space is free. Tools for all manner of other crafts can also hang on pegboards so a workbench may take center stage when the garage is vacated.<\/span><\/p>\n
