6 Creative Ways to Use Your Garage in the Colorado Winter
Here are creative ways that you can maximize your home space and utilize your Colorado garage…
Winter in Colorado almost begins as the holidays end, and while it is only a few months of the year it can really drag on. A clean, well-organized and professionally finished garage can instantly turn your garage into a place where the whole family can exercise, work and play all winter (and all year) long. The garage isn’t just for your car any more. Here are six creative ways that you can maximize your home space and utilize your Colorado garage…

Home Gym
The last couple of years has created a new wave of people not only working from home, but working out from home due to a variety of reasons including cleanliness, masks, social distancing or cost of a gym membership. The garage can make the ideal space for a home gym, keeping the sweat, weights and noise out of the house while offering fresh air and more space to freely move and exercise. A home gym with a Peloton or weight station can create a space to keep up the family’s New Year’s resolutions without leaving the house.
Home Project Workstation
Home projects in the winter can be daunting but finding the right tool and easily accessing all areas of your garage make the “to-do” list manageable. Our cabinetry offers customized storage for every lifestyle, making your workspace, storage and emergency preparedness areas organized and at your fingertips. We can also install upgraded lighting to brighten the area for when the sun goes down.
Sports Training Area
Have an athlete on your hands? A completed garage can make a great training center for a variety of athletes, no matter what the Colorado weather outside is doing. A dedicated space for a baseball hitting area with a net and tee will keep your baseball player’s skills sharp for the upcoming season. How about a balance beam for the young gymnast? For the golf lover, a golf simulator offers the convenience and fun of the game even when the ground is frozen and snow-covered. We’ve installed a reinforced lacrosse wall for budding lacrosse players to practice their skill without damaging the drywall and this Custom Garage Solutions client opted for a basketball hoop inside the garage so the kids could enjoy an indoor shooting area all year-round.
Kids Play Area
With limited play places reopened, building your own kid play area may be the trick to a peaceful winter. Whether is it is adding a bounce house, obstacle course, mini bike track or Hot Wheel launch pad, a completed garage can provide a play room that is more fun than ever before. The additional space and organization gives the kids the added area to play in, but also gives your home a needed reprieve enabling you to declutter the playroom or basement where toys can pile up.
Dog Area
It’s not just us who become restless in the winter. Our four legged companions don’t always get the walks they need in winter either. Or maybe your companion enjoys giving you company outside during your latest DIY project? A finished space could include a dog bed and water bowl so your pup can enjoy it as much as you do. Our high-performance and durable polyaspartic floor coating is built to last and easy to clean - making puppy play dates a breeze. No mud, snow or sludge, just happy, tired pups.
Bar or Man Cave
There is no reason to let the kids and pups have all the fun as the garage can easily become an adult oasis needed in the dead of winter. Adding a mounted TV, speakers, bar, card or ping pong tables can make for an epic night in and give you an additional casual space to enjoy to yourselves or hosting neighbors, family and friends.
