You planned for your year to get off to a flying start, renovating and painting multiple rooms, and yet you're still surrounded by the same old walls. We know the feeling. That’s why we’ve created this easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to transforming your garage in just one month!
That being said, you don’t want to spend every spare second covered in dust and paint. So, we’ve broken the process down into manageable chunks, ensuring every weekend is productive, but not exhausting.
By the end of the month, you’ll have a sleek, organised, and functional space, complete with a brand-new Garolla garage door to add the finishing touch. Let’s get started!
Week 1: Declutter & Plan
- Sort through the clutter. Create three piles: Keep, Donate, and Bin. If you haven’t used it in a year, it’s time to let go.
- Clear out unnecessary items. Be ruthless! The less clutter, the more functional your space will be.
- Plan your garage’s new purpose. Workshop, home gym, storage space? Decide now to save time later.
- Check if you need planning permission for a comprehensive garage conversion. Most internal work won’t require it, but it’s always best to be sure.
Week 2: Deep Clean & Paint
- Sweep and scrub. Remove dust, dirt, and cobwebs to start fresh.
- Wash down surfaces. A thorough clean makes painting easier and longer-lasting.
- Apply a fresh coat of paint. Opt for light, neutral colours to brighten the space or dark, moody shades for a cosy environment.
- Use moisture-resistant paint where necessary. This protects against dampness and extends the lasting power of all your hard work.
Week 3: Organise & Upgrade Storage
- Install shelves and wall-mounted storage. Maximise vertical space to keep the floor clear.
- Use pegboards for tools and accessories. Easy access and a tidy workspace.
- Label and categorise storage boxes. Transparent storage with clear labels makes finding things a breeze.
- Upgrade the lighting. Swap out dim bulbs for bright, energy-efficient LED lights.
Week 4: The Finishing Touches & Your New Garolla Garage Door
- Inspect and repair any final details. Tighten screws, fix any small damages, and finalise your setup.
- Consider flooring options. Mats, epoxy coating, or tiles can add comfort and durability.
- Replace your garage door with a Garolla roller garage door. Secure, high-quality, insulated, and effortlessly stylish.
- Step back and admire your transformation! Your garage is now a functional, stylish space.
