I Want My Garage to Be Cool—Who Do I Even Hire?

Apr 8

3 min read

Have you ever scrolled through real estate listings and noticed how many homes don’t even include a photo of the garage? You’ll see stunning kitchens, spa-like bathrooms, and expansive living rooms—but the garage? If it’s mentioned at all, it’s an afterthought.



Why is that?

For many homeowners, the garage is just a parking space, a cluttered storage area, or a place they don’t think twice about. But in reality, a garage is one of the largest and most versatile spaces in your home—it just hasn’t been designed to reach its full potential.

Why Are Garages Overlooked?

  • Real estate listings rarely showcase garages, even in high-end homes.

  • They’re often treated as a secondary space, even though they can add functionality and value to a home.

  • Without thoughtful design, they become cluttered and underutilized.

  • Many homeowners don’t realize the full potential of what their garage could be.

Reimagine Your Garage: More Than Just Storage

A well-designed garage can be so much more than a place to park your car. It can be a statement piece—a space that adds value, function, and luxury to your home.

Luxury Car Showroom – High-end polished concrete, polyaspartic coatings, epoxy, or specialty flooring paired with custom lighting and sleek storage solutions to create a stunning space for your car collection.

Garage Gym – A private fitness space with the right flooring, ventilation, and storage for a fully equipped workout area.

Entertainment Lounge – A garage bar, media room, or sophisticated lounge built for relaxing or hosting.

Custom Storage & Organization – High-end cabinets, slat walls, and smart storage solutions to keep everything in its place.

Garage Home Office or Studio – A polished workspace or creative studio tailored to your needs.

Garage ADU Conversion – Turn your garage into a guest suite, rental unit, or detached living space with luxury finishes.

So You Have Big Ideas for Your Garage… But Where Do You Start?

You might be thinking:“Do I need an interior designer?”“Should I just hire a contractor?”“What about those storage companies—are they enough?”


Let’s address some of those questions:


What if I hire a designer?

Starting with design is the right move. Without it, your garage can end up feeling disjointed—just a mix of ideas that don’t flow. But traditional designers often don’t specialize in garage spaces, and their fees can rival the cost of the build-out itself. You’re also left answering a ton of questions and navigating a long, drawn-out timeline without any real assurance the design will actually get executed the way you want.


What if I go straight to a contractor?

This route often leads to a fragmented result. Most contractors don’t have an in-house design process or specialize in garages, so they miss critical nuances—like how to optimize layout, which materials perform best, or how to blend form and function in a high-use space. Without a design-forward plan to follow, you’ll often end up juggling decisions yourself. That’s when homeowners unintentionally become the project manager.


What about a storage company?

They can absolutely help with cabinets or flooring—but that’s typically where it ends. What about lighting, wall treatments, custom paint, appliance integration, or styling? These companies usually don’t handle the finishing details, and without them, your garage stops short of feeling like a fully designed space. You’ll likely end up coordinating with additional vendors to fill in the gaps.
