>> CARRIAGE-HOUSE DOORS, ornamental
hinges and handles, shuttered windows — these days,
garages have curb appeal to spare. And interiors are just as
beautiful, outfitted with designer cabinetry, custom storage
and quartz-look flooring that looks so clean it shines.
Specialists like Garage Masters build, rehab and renovate
garages to add workshops, home offices and gyms with
radiant in-floor heat, laundry rooms and more. Innovative
options include a covered patio off a detached garage, a
loft and even an extra overhead door for easy access to
lawn mowers and snow blowers.
There's also an inspiring array of storage options to keep
the space organized:
• Cabinets and tool chests: Mix-and-match drawers,
lockable cabinets and workbenches are built from heavy-
duty steel, with steel or bamboo work surfaces and
adjustable drawer dividers.
• Cover an entire wall with a PVC slat wall system, or just
add a section or two to meet modest storage needs. Gear
tracks hold hooks and mesh baskets for garden tools and
sports equipment, along with caddies specifically made to
hold fishing gear, golf bags and cleaning supplies.
