There’s tons of ways to transform your garage into a home space – from either home theatres to a band practice space, or even a dance studio. If you’re taking on one of these projects, it’s imperative to making your garage as comfortable as possible – which often includes the task of covering the cold and unsightly garage floor with an attractive rug. Here’s some fantastic transformation ideas for your garage space from the garage door installation experts here at Garage Door Repair Chicago.

Beautifying the Floor

Most garage floors are cement. If you’re planning on making it a living space, you will want to install hardwood floors over the cement. You don’t have to even use real hardwood, as long as the surface of the garage floor can handle it. We recommend use of marley double sided flooring that can help protect the floor from scrapes – it’s portable, easy to install, and has a gripping slip-free surface.

Dance Studio Tips

If you’re making a dance studio in your garage, install mirrors along the walls – a must for dancers who need to monitor if they are practicing their moves and poses correctly. Dance studio wall bars are also a must, since they help dancers practice their balance – however they absolutely need to be securely installed along the walls of your garage. Lastly, even if you’re not making a dance studio in your garage and just want to hang out inside it, having a fantastic home music system is an absolute must.

Protecting the Area with Garage Doors

If you have an old or falling apart garage, you’re going to want to protect it with a brand new garage door that can transform it into a comfortable, safe, and secure environment.
