GARAGE/STORAGE
By Jim Bender Photos by Darcy Finley Today’s garage is a multi-purpose space DOUBLE Vision >> 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.
