Boho Laundry Room

Not all of us are blessed with an interior washer-and-dryer hookup. But that doesn’t mean your garage laundry room has to be a sad and sterile place. We love how blogger @poplollyco gave her bland, unfinished laundry room a boho facelift with a stenciled backsplash and some customized cabinetry.

On her blog, she details what she did to elevate this space. She also notes that the most important thing in creating a garage that actually gets used is giving each area a function and purpose.

Gallery Wall

Cozy is probably the last word you’d ever use to describe your garage. But it can be if you take inspiration from artist @little_truths_studio and hang some artwork on the walls. Even if you don’t lean fully into the cozy studio shown above, hanging prints and photographs is a simple way to give a bland garage a little personality.

Think about the main function of your garage— let that inspire the wall hangings you choose.

Elevated Home Office

If your work-from-home station means the kitchen table, consider moving it out to the garage. @homemadebycarmona, a DIY blogger and host of HGTV’s Table Wars: The Look for Less, may have needed more space for sawing than typing. But her gold-leafed workspace serves as great inspiration for any home office.

She told us installing molding around the pegboard and painting her walls black added a touch of sophistication you don’t typically see in garages. Her DIY philosophy? “Make it beautiful — while making it practical and well organized,” she says.
