1. Paintjob
Paint the walls of your garage in some funky design. It should be brighter than the usual paint of the rest of the home. If your home is of some light shade, make the garage brighter.
Granite grip is the best for the garage as it gives the best elite garage look. Grey, beige or tan can be best for a messy person as they are easier to be cleaned than some light color.
The front door of the garage is the home’s focal point. And it should be chosen with consideration of the rest of the exterior of the home like sides, bricks, roof, shutter, windows, walls, main gate, etc.
2. Signal booster

3. Air pass
Make windows and ventilators in the wall, so air passes by. This will make your garage bearable in hot weather. As it is very suffocating in a cubbyhole. No one would want to stand in such a place.
Ventilators are one of the best options as air and light both can easily pass by. Because they are made at the top of the wall under the roof of the room.
4. Epoxy the garage floor
Car wheels make the floor rough and tough and hence it needs pampering same as the walls. Get the best wooden sheet for your floor. If you are not into sheets, get your floor polished. And clean it with detergent and a brush.
If you are an artist, utilize your skill and draw funky designs on the floor with permanent colors. So they don’t come off in small time. You can shine it will oil and grease, but it makes the chances of falling bigger.
Gym type of rubber tiles is also an alluring option. Combination of red and black with giving it a more appealing look.
