That means it's off to a good start, but still has plenty of room to grow before it reaches its full potential. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag!

EditSteps

  1. 1
    Put down carpet: Get some carpet, old or new, and lay it out in your garage. You don't have to professionally have it put in, just lay it over the concrete.
  2. 2
    Furniture: Get a old couch from a thrift store for cheap can be a nice piece for the room. A few chairs and a table can help for playing cards or other games.
  3. 3
    Finishing touches: Rugs, pictures, paintings, and lights will help people want to be in the garage and hang out.

EditTips

  • Don't use light colored carpeting or furniture, because using a garage as a room usually will make it a room to hang out in and use less caution while eating or drinking (as in don't try as hard not to spill.) That is my experience, anyways.
  • Art in the room should be more things that look cool, not pretty. If that makes sense.
  • Big Florescent lights work better than lights you would use in your house.
  • Make it more about your personality than a regular room in the house. Like, if your husband or teens like hot wheels, build shelves and put them on there to show them off.
  • The more off the furniture is, the more comfortable it is to hang out in with friends. A yellowish blue couch with green chairs is just fine! Most of the time, a garage is a comfortable place to hang out with your friends in a place the reflects your personality. Don't go to a nice furniture store and pick out a modern couch and end table. Go garbage picking.
