How to Design & Build Your Dream Garage Man Cave

For many, the garage is a dark, dusty and musty area to store anything that doesn’t belong in the house. Without proper garage storage in place, it’s easy for clutter to build and your floor space to be taken over.

However, building your dream garage man cave requires more than just having garage storage solutions; there are many factors that can make the difference between a cramped workshop-type garage and a high-class design.

Whether you’re a trade professional, sports car enthusiast, DIY hobbyist, art collector, or sports fan, your perfect dream man cave can become a reality. When you have a garage that you can be proud of and maybe even show off, it can easily turn into a social gathering area, a retreat after long working hours, or a place to work on projects without disturbing the rest of the household.

Here is how you can begin your dream man cave, custom-designed for you.

The first thing is to determine the purpose of your garage. In most cases, it’s to store your car and other items, but what else do you want it to be for? Do you have a trade or hobby? Would you like to work on projects? What type of projects do you want to work on? Are you a car enthusiast? Would it be a social gathering space?

Once you know all the things you may want to do with your garage, then you can start to figure out what other items may be needed to complete your dream garage. For instance, if you are working on projects, then you’ll need a workbench. If you like working at night, then you’ll need proper lighting installed. If you’re a car enthusiast and you like to work on your vehicle, then getting new garage flooring might make sense.

Once you know the purpose and function of your garage, you’ll want to consider some styles that complement both your plans and your personal taste. What look and feel do you want? Is it classic, vintage, industrial, contemporary or high-class? There are endless design possibilities, and knowing the style you wish to apply to your garage design will help you with the next step.

Once the style is determined, then we can choose the proper textures,  finishes and colors  to make your ideas a reality. These will be applied to the garage storage systems to give you a starting point.

You can repaint your walls to match, or we can install a full slatwall system. For your garage flooring, you can choose between different solid colors, or consider our  decorative chipped epoxy flooring to complete the foundations of your dream garage.
