We know you – you’re just waiting to get your Apple Watch. You lament the demise of Google Glass. You invented the Internet! And you’re the guy who, back in the day, had a remote control that didn’t have a cord! You trendsetter! We bow to your amazingness.
But here’s the thing – your garage leaves a lot to be desired. You park your car on the street and just store your junk in your garage. Once in a while, you go out there, kick a bunch of stuff out of the way, and shove more stuff in. Your garage, in short, looks like every other garage on your block. Your garage is boring. And your garage hates you for making it boring.
How to make your garage love you
You want your garage to be happy, don’t you? Here’s how you do it. You transform your garage. Think of this as something along the lines of “America’s Top Model” for garages. You are going to transform and beautify your garage, and make it something to be envied. You are going to take your garage into the future!
Bring your garage online
You don’t need much space. You don’t need a huge chair or one of those horrible, tacky computer desks. All you need is a bit of space. Maybe a couple of file cabinets with a colorful countertop remnant forming the desktop. Put it along a wall, add your computer, and you’re all set to watch YouTube car repair videos.
Furnish your man‑cave
We know that when you started reading this you weren’t really thinking in terms of auto repair. You were thinking MAN CAVE! Okay, now do it. Find a space for a wall-mounted TV. If you feel compelled to keep on thinking of this as a boring old garage, you can always watch DIY shows.
Get some gadgets
The futuristic garage is nothing without a smartphone. Which of course you have, being the technological adventurer that you are. Did you know that there are apps that will let you open and close your garage door from anywhere in the world, and let you know if anyone is in your garage? You can even control the heating and lights, so everything is bright and cozy when you get home. You won’t even want to go in the house – why would you, when you have such an awesome garage?
You don’t need no steenkin’ car!
When you have a garage that is this awesome, why would you want to do something so mundane as park your car in it? That’s what the street is for! Just declare your garage a car-free zone. Invite your friends to hang out and watch NASCAR on the big screen. Surely, you can find room for a beer fridge.
Get tools
Okay, you have to have tools. If for no other reason than to justify to everyone else in your family why you’re spending so much time in the garage. The good news is that you can do all kinds of cool things with tools. You can make furniture, repair stuff, or just display them prettily. But you have to have tools. It’s the law.
home office
Make a sign that says “Office.” That way, you can tell everyone in your family that you’re working out there, and they’ll have to leave you alone. That, too, is the law!
Create a studio
You’re artistic, aren’t you? The garage is your futuristic space, where you will create your futuristic art. People have to leave you alone out there while you’re creating.
Home cinema
Remember that big screen we told you to get? One word: Netflix.
Now you know how to create a futuristic garage that you’ll love and that will love you right back! What are you waiting for? Get out there and create the space of your dreams!
