A garage is required for storing vehicles. But if it is properly equipped, it can also become a storage room for tools and equipment, a storeroom, or a workshop. In this article we will talk about how to arrange a garage so that it becomes a comfortable multifunctional room with a stylish masculine design.
Well-equipped garage Source decoratorist.com
The process of interior arrangement of a garage space should begin with the development of a garage layout. This is necessary in order to properly distribute the available space. The first step, of course, is to mark the location for the car. Then the location of the racks for storing all the necessary automotive equipment is determined. Any remaining space can be filled at your discretion.
At the same stage it is worth deciding on the color of the finish. It is better to make the walls light so that the garage does not seem too cramped. In addition, light shades of the interior will smooth out the shortcomings of the technical room. Against the background of light surfaces, shelves with tools and spare parts will look less cluttered.

Design project
Based on the type of placement, garages are conventionally divided into three categories:
- Built into the house. Such a garage is included in the project of a residential building and is being built simultaneously with it. Most often, the ground floor or basement is allocated for the premises. Usually it has two exits: from the street and from the residential part of the house. The practice is widely used by owners of country apartments.
- Extension. It is erected after the fact after the construction of the house. The option is optimal in cases where the site cannot boast of a large area, and there is “nothing at all” to the gate from a residential building.
- Detached garage. It is a separate building, which is most often erected at the gate and has direct access to the street.
Designs are also classified according to the material used:
- Capital. As a rule, a building is built from brick. It provides lighting and heating. Such a garage will last for decades.
- Temporary. Usually, “available” materials are used for construction: wood, corrugated sheets, metal. A temporary building can be either a full-fledged garage with walls or an open parking space under a canopy. Typically, such light structures are erected while the owners of the site are busy building a residential building. The calculation is that the garage will last a couple of years, and then, when the opportunity arises, it will be replaced by a permanent structure. If you do everything well, then the temporary will become permanent.
- Combined. Construction may only take a couple of days. First, a ready-made metal frame is purchased, which is installed on a permanent foundation. The outside of the structure is sheathed with corrugated board, siding or block house.
- Wood. It is gradually losing its position, unable to withstand the competition of brick and foam concrete. With proper processing, it will not be inferior to them in terms of durability.
- Metal. The most common budget option. “Ranks” of such buildings decorate garage complexes in cities.
- Foam concrete. Virtually free of flaws. The garage holds heat well, and the material is fireproof.
There is a saying in circles of connoisseurs of beauty: “the theater begins with a coat rack.” By analogy, we can say that a motorist’s house originates in the garage. The preparation of a design project is usually carried out in parallel with the development of a plan for a future building. You can do it yourself or get ready-made ideas from the Internet or specialized magazines. If you have good taste, then it is better to give preference to the first option. Not only will the process be exciting, but the result will also be original in its uniqueness.
During the preparation process, the question may arise: is it necessary to create a design project for such a building or will it “go by itself” later. Definitely necessary. If you design the decoration after the fact, you will have to adapt to what has already been built. Preparing the project ahead of time will allow you to change the framework for the implementation of interesting ideas if they initially did not fit into them, that is, you can reconsider the entire garage project at the planning stage.
Finishing materials
After drawing up a simple project, you need to decide on finishing materials for the walls, floor and ceiling. In this case, first of all, the technical characteristics of various finishing options are taken into account. But aesthetics are also taken into account, since the design of the garage is not the least important in its arrangement.
The main requirements for materials for garage interior decoration:
- non-flammability;
- non-toxic;
- resistance to mechanical stress;
- resistance to chemicals;
- resistance to pollution;
- ease of care.
Plaster
The most economical option for wall finishing is plastering. Well-applied plaster will last for many years. The main advantage of this option is absolute fire safety. The disadvantages include the length of the plastering process and the need to involve qualified specialists in the process.

Dye
Walls to be painted need to be primed and puttied. The result should be a smooth surface with good adhesion. Facade water-based paints are often used for interior decoration of garages. They are not affected by moisture and are highly resistant to abrasion.
Acrylic paints are often used, which are suitable for working with any substrate. This paint can be used to cover a plastered wall, a wall made of brick or, for example, concrete. This is the most economical painting option for garage walls.
Experts recommend painting brick walls with deep penetration facade paints. They evenly fill the pores of the ceramic wall and concrete joints. The result is a reliable protective and decorative coating.
If the wall is concrete, it is better to decorate it with acrylic paint based on organic resins. In this case, the room will not lose its ability to self-ventilate, and the garage will always have an optimal level of humidity.

Tile
Ceramic tiles are used for wall cladding in any rooms with high humidity and temperature changes. This is a reliable and durable material, easy to clean and does not require complex maintenance. However, tiled finishing is rarely used in garage decoration due to its rather high cost.

Lining
The garage can be finished with wooden or plastic lining. Wooden is highly flammable, but despite this, many car enthusiasts choose this cladding option for their garages. Here, the aesthetic appeal of wooden panels plays a huge role, making the technical room more comfortable for a long stay.
In addition to aesthetics, wooden lining is easy to use. You can easily hang a shelf or hanger on it. Therefore, the number of garages decorated in this way is not decreasing. It’s good that currently the risk of fire of wooden lining in the garage can (and should) be reduced with the help of special impregnations.

Plastic panels, despite the fact that they are mounted in the same way as wooden ones, represent a fundamentally different finishing option. Plastic is a much less flammable material. But it has another significant drawback - it is very fragile. In a garage with this finish, you cannot rely on wall-mounted equipment; all shelving should be floor-mounted only. In addition, plastic lining is very easy to damage mechanically.

Siding
The siding is mounted on the sheathing, just like the lining. For the interior decoration of the garage, plastic or metal siding is used. Metal is better in several respects - it is fireproof, immune to aggressive cleaning compounds, resistant to temperature changes and quite durable.

The functions of finishing the garage inside are design and wall protection. When choosing a material option for interior decoration, you need to remember that it must be durable, reliable and aesthetically pleasing.

Ceiling finishing
The ceiling is often finished with the same material as the walls. It can be painted, covered with plaster, covered with siding or clapboard. Or you can use another type of material and make a ceiling from plasterboard or corrugated sheet.

Where should the garage be located?
If you're just starting to design your home, you have several options for where to locate your garage.
— A garage in the house: you can get into it directly from the house, and the car is always at hand. This option is good because it allows you to solve the heating problem and save space on the site. The easiest option to implement if you are designing a cottage with a garage is to build it on the ground floor of the house. This way you will not have problems with waterproofing and water drainage. However, specific odors can penetrate the house, so it is better to make the nearest rooms technical. A garage in the basement requires high-quality waterproofing of the foundation. If the groundwater level is high, we advise you to refrain from building on the ground floor. - Garage in the annex. If the house project is ready, but the space for the car is not taken into account, you can make it a separate extension. The entrance can be made from the house and the car will also be within walking distance. - Detached permanent garage. Ideal if you plan to combine it with a workshop and at the same time want privacy while working. Often such garages are built from logs or timber, and an attic with an additional room is installed on top. — A detached “cold” wooden or metal garage is the most economical option, you can build it yourself, but in essence, it’s just a “roof” for a car, protecting the car from bad weather
Flooring
The garage floor carries a huge load. In addition to the vehicle itself, it must be able to withstand heavy equipment. At the same time, during the repair work, the floor is subjected to serious mechanical stress. Therefore, very high demands are placed on floor coverings.
Concrete
The most widely used option is pouring concrete. High-strength concrete grades are used for concrete screed. Often the screed becomes the basis for laying one or another decorative material. But in a technical garage, a simple concrete floor looks quite logical.

Tree
Wood floors can be installed in a garage as a temporary, economical covering. Wood is not highly resistant to abrasion, so it quickly loses its original characteristics. Wooden boards not only deform under the weight of a car and heavy equipment, but also absorb all kinds of automotive fluids, which are often spilled in the garage. But in a small garage that is not intended for renovation work, a wooden floor can last quite a long time - about 5 years.

Self-leveling floor
A cement-based self-leveling floor has characteristics similar to those of a concrete screed. But self-leveling mixtures are more moisture resistant than concrete, and they also do not absorb dirt. They are generally very attractive in terms of their technical indicators. The disadvantage is the high cost of this coating option. The self-leveling floor looks like wet concrete, and car owners who are annoyed by the glossy shine of the floor cover it with additional decorative material.

Porcelain tiles
The garage floor can be laid with special technical ceramics with increased strength and an anti-slip surface. This option is quite practical. At the same time, it provides an attractive design to the room, as it comes in various color options. But the ceramic coating can crack and split, and the seams between the tiles absorb fuel and lubricants.
The choice of flooring is made taking into account many factors, such as the size of the budget allocated for the arrangement of the garage, the amount of work that will be performed in the garage, the aesthetic preferences of the car owner, etc. Experts recommend the use of self-leveling materials, since they are more suitable than others for the operational features garage space.

Ceiling finishing
The ceiling covering must have a high threshold of resistance to dirt, fluctuations in temperature and humidity, as well as to the effects of various types of chemicals. Among the common methods of surface cladding are:
- "Wet" plaster. A cheap option, which is subsequently covered with decorative material.
- PVC panels. They are easy to clean, but even a high-quality coating will only last a couple of years.
- Drywall. It is easy to install, has a neat appearance and can be painted later.
- OSB. Natural, non-toxic material, which has a relatively low cost.
Regardless of the type of coating, special attention is paid to the installation of fastening systems. The service life of the structure will depend on the quality of this work.
Gates
The gates perform a special function in the garage. It is necessary to choose the optimal gate option that will fully meet the technical and aesthetic requirements of the owner.
Swing
The simplest type of garage door in design. Swing canvases are made of durable metal and reinforced with a reliable frame. A doorway is usually made in one of the doors so that you can enter or exit the garage without opening the gate completely.

Recoil
The recoil mechanism is very convenient. With it, the door leaf moves to the side along the fence or wall of the building adjacent to the garage. This option is usually used when arranging garage buildings located at the entrance to the site.

Lifting
They are single-leaf structures that rise up to the garage ceiling. A good option for small garage spaces. But the lifting line of such gates must be taken into account when thinking about arranging the inside of the garage so that they do not touch the lamps or ceiling trim.

Sectional
They work on the lifting principle, but when opened they are divided into sections and folded under the ceiling. They move along guides using a spring mechanism.

Roller blinds
A convenient and inexpensive option for gates that, when open, fold into a box above the opening. Roller shutters are installed in those garages that are located in a protected area, since this type of gate is easy to break into.

Garage Door Options
To protect the garage from thief entry or dampness, gates must be installed. They can be of different designs:
- Swing. This is one of the most common and budget options that is included in the arrangement of a garage. Features simple installation. Requires paint renewal annually. Such structures are made of metal.
- Lifting. These devices have a sensor installed that allows you to open the gate when you press the remote control or when a car of a particular brand approaches. The gate rises to the height of its attachment to the opening for entry.
- Roller blinds. Quite functional and convenient design options. Most often they are made of metal-plastic or durable profile. The mechanism involves folding the canvas inside the niche. The working mechanism is located at the top of the structure.
- Sectional. An option similar to a roller shutter. Great for large to medium sized garages. During opening, the canvas rises and is pulled into the garage along special guides. Kept in a hanging position from the ceiling until locked.
- Recoil. Conventionally, they are divided into single and double-leaf models. During operation, such canvases run on special runners. They open like wardrobe doors in one or both directions.

When choosing wrought iron gates, you must take into account that they require special care. They are recommended to be painted regularly, after applying a primer. If there are many small parts on the metal surface, they must be treated with an anti-corrosion agent.

Lighting
Artificial lighting must provide sufficient light for repair work. The working area of the room should be especially well lit. Modern design ideas for a garage involve multi-level lighting, including an overhead light, a side light, and a set of portable lighting fixtures.

Garage arrangement: electric lighting
The garage must have:
- Distribution board.
- Lighting.
- Sockets.
- Grounding.
Installation of all components must be carried out according to a previously drawn up diagram. The locations of sockets and switches, as well as their number, are carefully thought out so that they are convenient to use without the use of extension cords and the need to walk across the entire garage to turn them on. In addition to general ceiling lighting, you will need to organize local directional lighting for the workbench. In multi-level garages, lighting is installed on each of them.
fluorescent lamps in the garage
The cable can be laid in an open or hidden way. Recently, the first option is not relevant. The wiring is hidden in grooves (grooves made in the walls). All electrical work is carried out in accordance with current requirements. The work of laying the wiring should be entrusted to a professional to avoid future problems with short circuits and fires.
Storage system
In the garage you need to store many items that are used to care for your car. All this equipment should be arranged so that the room is kept in order and so that nothing threatens the safety of the car and people in the garage.
The best option for organizing storage of garage accessories is to install special ready-made racks. Today you can purchase racks of various sizes and configurations. The main thing is to first think about what exactly the storage system should be in terms of size and number of shelves.
Rack in the garage interior Source pinterest.com
Instead of shelving, you can make a storage system from a set of shelves mounted on the wall. This option is only suitable for garages with reliable, solid walls with appropriate finishing. When installing shelves or racks, you must remember that there must be a distance of at least 1 meter from them to the car.
Necessary equipment for the garage
In addition to the car, some types of equipment that can be useful in the garage can help in operating or repairing the vehicle:
- Welding machine. This equipment is considered indispensable for body repairs. They try to store an inverter or transformer version in the garage.
- Hand wash (Kärcher). Suitable for quick car washing. It doesn't take up much space.
- Crafting table. A kind of table, the top of which is covered with metal. It necessarily includes the presence of shelves and drawers.
In addition to these devices, there should always be a place in the garage for a portable and mobile compressor. They make it possible to monitor the normal tire pressure.

Inspection hole
The inspection hole does not have to be in the garage. If a car owner prefers to inspect and repair his car himself, he can use an overpass installed on the street for this. If you decide to make a viewing hole, you need to take into account several important conditions:
- the floor and walls of the pit must be concreted;
- its edges need to be reinforced with metal corners;
- for a convenient arrangement of tools, it is advisable to arrange niche-shelves in the walls of the pit;
- the walls of the pit should be insulated using polystyrene foam boards;
- the pit must be covered with a lid, the top edge of which must be level with the floor;
- to collect water that gets into the hole, make a drainage hole in its corner and cover it with a grate;
- lamps must be installed in the pit.
Organization of space
“If there is enough space, then when arranging the garage, be sure to use a rack”
A thrifty owner will always keep everything in order not only in the apartment, but also in the utility rooms. Putting everything “on the shelves,” literally and figuratively, in the garage, which in addition to being a “home for the car” also serves as a warehouse for necessary and not-so-necessary things, will not be so difficult if you use some tricks.
wall rack with hanging brackets and tool holders
In cramped garages it is unlikely to be possible to install a shelving unit, so here you will need to make maximum use of the walls. Hanging storage systems are no longer in short supply; you can buy them ready-made or create them according to your own sketches with your own hands. What can I use?
- Wall cabinets similar to kitchen ones.
- Wooden stands.
- Metal shelves and drawers.
- Wall stands for screwdrivers.
- Vertical boxes of a special design with hooks for attaching tools.
- Ceiling containers.
- Perforated panels.
- Hooks.
- Magnetic strips.
modular furniture for storing tools in the garage
If there is enough space, then when arranging the garage, be sure to use a rack. It is more rational to use metal frame structures. They can be angular, straight or arranged in a U-shape. The latter option is possible with sufficiently spacious areas.
Standard models have an average shelf depth of within one meter. Sometimes this is not enough, so before you buy a rack in a store, think about whether it might be more profitable for you to make it to order. The required depth of shelves for garage storage structures of this type is determined by the size of the largest item that is supposed to be stored on the shelves of the structure.
To prevent dust from collecting on the shelves, experts advise drilling holes in the shelves. The possibility of good ventilation will not allow the tools not only to gather dust, but also to rust.
rack method of attaching cabinets and shelves to the wall
When arranging your garage with shelving, do not forget about ease of cleaning and do not make the bottom shelf lie on the floor. Leave a gap of at least 30 cm.
If you are assembling a frame rack yourself, then the basis of the structure should be made of profiled pipes or a corner. Bolted connections are preferred, but joints can also be welded. The last option will be stationary and if it is necessary to move the piece of furniture to another room, problems may arise.
If you plan to cut the shelving shelves from plywood, then do not make them too long. They will bend and become deformed from the weight of the tool. If you need to store long items, equip the shelves with additional stiffeners.

Car owners who plan to arrange their garage in an ultra-modern form give preference to plastic storage systems. A variety of modular elements in addition to tool holders, mesh baskets for small items, cabinets and small shelves allow you to organize your garage space with maximum functionality.
Conclusion
The arrangement of a garage, thought out and rationalized in detail, will provide comfortable conditions for caring for your beloved four-wheeled property. It will be easy to keep the room clean, and therefore it will be pleasant to sit with friends, discussing the innovations of the car market, so treat this process responsibly!
Gates and doors
Garage doors can be installed individually or as a set with a gate. The latter option is suitable for cramped spaces where there is simply no room to make an additional opening. The following gate opening systems are available:
- Swing. The most primitive option, which requires additional space on the street to open the doors;
- Lifting and turning mechanism. Provides a high level of room sealing and excellent heat retention. The solid gate leaf rises to the ceiling and assumes a horizontal position;
- Sectional type. The gates consist of individual panels that are lifted by a special mechanism. Convenient in cases where the area in front of the garage does not allow opening the doors to the street;
- Sliding type. The divergence of the sashes is ensured by a cantilever, suspended or monorail mechanism. Door cutting is allowed;
- Roller shutters. This type of sash closing can be seen in store windows after hours. Among the disadvantages, low protection against hacking is noted.
Traditionally, gates are made of metal. Such designs are practical to use and guaranteed to last a long time.
Features of arrangement and basic requirements
Proper organization of space will significantly simplify the operation of the garage, increase the service life of the car, and reduce the likelihood of fire. Zoning should be carried out taking into account the frequency of possible pollution during repairs, the specifics of lighting, the presence of additional equipment and its dimensions.
When arranging a garage, you must follow certain rules. The structure must have good gates that reliably protect it from unauthorized entry.
An important factor is the microclimate. The room must be maintained at average temperature and humidity levels.
About fire safety
Most fires in garages are caused by failure to follow safety regulations. The second place is occupied by natural disasters, spontaneous combustion of dry grass during a drought. To minimize the risk of fire, you should take a responsible approach to its arrangement. The best option would be a brick frame with reinforced concrete partitions. You can also use metal corrugated sheets to build walls. Gates should only be metal.
Internal and external surfaces must be treated with special non-flammable mixtures. Paints and varnishes must have a high degree of combustion resistance, forming a protective cushion when heated. Insulation, waterproofing, and finishing coatings should be treated with fire retardants. All wiring must be carefully insulated. Heating sources must have thermal protection and bases made of non-combustible plates.
Insulation
There are several ways to insulate a garage. Modern technologies make it easy to do this yourself. More often they use internal insulation for all surfaces. Before starting work, be sure to calculate the dew point to prevent the walls from getting wet and the appearance of fungus. The material should be selected based on the climatic conditions in the region. The most popular are the following:
- Mineral wool. Artificial insulation with a fibrous structure consists of slag, glass, and rocks. Has high thermal insulation characteristics. Minus – high water absorption;
- Styrofoam. Effective, cheap material for finishing walls and floors. The cellular plastic mass consists of hermetically sealed granules. Light blocks do not absorb water and do not weigh down the structure. Polystyrene foam cannot be used in an aggressive environment;
- Penoizol. An analogue of polystyrene foam, but in liquid form. Vapor-permeable, hygroscopic insulation is capable of absorbing moisture and immediately evaporating it;
- Expanded clay. Durable, chemical-resistant material. It is used only for floor insulation, placed between the soil and the concrete screed.
The work of insulating the garage will be done in vain if the gate, the first source of heat loss, remains untouched. More often they are sheathed with foam plastic.
Ventilation
The garage area is usually small, so moisture quickly accumulates there. If the air volumes are not changed periodically, the car will definitely rust in a few years or even at the beginning of use. Fueling and toxic materials also pose a danger to the human body in an unventilated area.
For garage buildings, three types of ventilation are used: natural, mechanical, combined. Each ventilation method is suitable for a specific type of building. Natural ventilation is the simplest; installation does not require any costs. The movement of air masses occurs under the influence of pressure inside and outside the garage due to its difference. To activate the natural ventilation process, it is necessary to accurately calculate the location of the exhaust and supply pipes.
Purifying the air in a large, two-story garage with simple ventilation is not effective. It is better to equip such a room with a forced ventilation system. Over a large area, only it can provide sufficient traction. The models are complemented by fans, filters, and an electric heater.
Combined ventilation is suitable for a garage with a cellar. In an underground storage facility, the air is purified naturally and removed from the building itself using forced exhaust hoods. The air duct is equipped with one or more mechanically or manually controlled fans.
Drainage system
A garage can be used for more than just storing cars. Many car enthusiasts create workshops, recreation areas, and sports areas in this area. Therefore, the building must always be clean, dry and comfortable.
To expand opportunities and improve working conditions, the garage must be equipped with a drain. Drainage is necessary to remove precipitation, remove water after cleaning, and washing the car. An effective drainage system is mandatory for garages with an inspection pit and a cellar.
The drainage system in a garage building is identical to that of an apartment building. You will need to connect the pipes correctly, taking into account the slope for the liquid to drain into the septic tank. The most reliable material will be plastic, insensitive to oil stains and chemicals.
Capital garage: what is it?
A major garage is a solid building with a solid foundation. The vehicle can remain in the structure for long periods of time without any risk of harmful effects. A permanent garage is built using expensive, high-quality materials with a long service life in mind.
Such a building should be considered as a full-fledged property that will be in high demand (if you decide to sell it). The functionality of the capital garage is at its best.
Thanks to the solidity of the design, you can plan a basement, inspection pit, even entertainment rooms, for example, a bathhouse.
Capital garage - photo:
In such a garage you can relax and spend time; for this you will need to allocate special rooms. They can be equipped with a TV or a ping-pong table. The possibilities for interior design are limited only by imagination.
A permanent garage is subject to all requirements relating to current real estate norms and standards. Therefore, the start of construction is preceded by the collection and execution of papers. These include acquiring ownership rights and passing a special commission. The commission must check the garage for SNIP standards . Only after all the formal procedures do you receive permission to operate the building.
The object will have a very long service life, on average about 60 years . In fact, a full-fledged house is being built, but it is intended primarily for a car. A permanent garage is more difficult to break into. Strong gates and doors with secure locks will leave burglars little chance. In addition, in a solid building, it is not a pity to invest in interior decoration and insulation.
Construction
How to build a permanent garage ? The construction of any major garage begins with design and calculations. The optimal size of a permanent garage for a passenger car is 4 x 6 meters , with a height of 2.5 meters . Please note that a low-lying area will be an extremely unlucky place. The humidity level in the lowlands is much higher, which means there is an increased risk of corrosion.
The next important step is the foundation . Strip foundations are well suited to many types of structures. With the light weight of the future building, the depth of the base is about 50-60 centimeters. A sand cushion is poured into the recess and stabilized with a layer of gravel. The total thickness of the pillow is 20-30 centimeters. When the sand and gravel pad is completed, formwork and concrete .
After laying the foundation, you can work on the walls . The technology and method of constructing walls greatly depends on the chosen material.
If ready-made reinforced concrete panels have been selected, then installation is quite simple. The most difficult and expensive thing is to get special equipment .
