The garage is a good place to store all the outside tools and equipment used for upkeep of the outside grounds and landscaping.

Many people have as many as 6 garage bays on their home to house their cars and RV's. One garage door may be taller than normal for the motor home or camper truck.

The garage is often fully insulated, and even heated, with running water for washing up so as not to track dirty feet into the house. There are myriads of ideas to designing garage storage and making it more usable space.

You may want secure storage areas, to keep tools and other things hidden and locked up when not in use.

Since the garage is often the man's workshop he may even have a desk and work area or office in it. Some men want a "mancave" so if you don't have a basement, why not make it in a garage bay? All you'd have to do is insulate it well and add all the amenities you want in your world of man stuff.

Let your mind think and allow the ideas to enter in.

When it comes to a good garage design, the possibilities are endless.
