Partition
the Area
Decide how
much of the garage your work area will need. Frame that section or block it off
with regular items like storage bins or movable bookshelves. Otherwise, you can
leave it open as long as you don't mind sharing the garage with autos or yard
equipment. You can put up drywall for a more streamlined finish, but it might
get smudged or dusty easily, especially if there are vehicles or machinery
around.
Level
The Floor
A floor
might need to be installed if your garage has an unfinished ground area or
deteriorating concrete or bricks. You can find affordable and durable garage flooring that is easy to install and
maintain. A smooth, level floor will reduce the risk of tripping, slipping, or
falling, or having the dirt turn to mud. If a subfloor or old floor is already
in place, it may be easy to replace or cover it with newer flooring that is
attractive and functional.
Adjust
The Lighting
Regular
garages used to store tools or vehicles do not usually require significant
lighting, particularly if there are windows. For work, however, you may want
to upgrade the lighting fixtures for added illumination, dimming features, or
easy-to-change lightbulbs. Make good use of any windows by keeping them clean
and unobscured by blinds or curtains during your work time.
Update
The Electric
Almost any type of work you do in the garage will require electrical outlets and adequate power. If you currently have a 110 line for the garage, you might want to update it with a 220 line if you plan to add more equipment like a computer and printer. Track lighting helps to brighten workspaces, and you can supplement limited lighting, if needed, withstanding lamps or desk lights.
Get the
most usable space from your garage by making updates like these. A clean,
organized, and updated workspace can help you maintain productivity or provide
a place of respite and relaxation for you and the family.
