Your garage might be the ideal spot for your new workshop, but there are a few things to consider.
Your garage might be the ideal location for your new workshop, but the space needs to be utilized properly to maximize efficiency. Plus, you want your workshop to be an inviting space, somewhere you can spend plenty of time in. Getting your garage remodel right can be hard, but here are some tips.
Designing Your Workbench
Designing your own workbench is a great way to start a workshop out. Not only is it in the spirit of having a workshop, but it also lets you customize your bench to fit the limited space your garage may offer.
Nailing Lighting
Garages can often have poor lighting but making sure your garage is well-lit is essential for those nights where your tinkering lasts longer than expected. Fluorescent lights might be the simplest option to achieve bright lighting within a budget.
Outlet Accessibility
An often overlooked necessity is considering outlet placement. You may be working with a lot of power tools, so be certain that there are nearby outlets for all of your needs. Consider any extra needs like heaters, radios, or computers that will need a spot to plug in.
Adequate Tool Storage
Be careful with older toolboxes that might be filled with rust or dirt that could damage your tools. Instead, consider investing in a brand new tool chest to keep all of your shiny tools safe. Alternatively, building wall hooks for many of your tools can be a good way to organize your garage as well as offer a unique look.
Entertainment Matters!
Your garage workshop is a place you want to spend your time in. A Bluetooth speaker is an inexpensive and easy way to add some fun to the space. If you’re going to be spending hours at a time in your workshop, mounting a flat panel TV to the wall may be a good way to make the space more inviting.
