Defining modern garages for lifestyle homes - What you need to know
For most people, your vehicle represents an investment, often within the five-figure range. Ensuring that your vehicle remains protected from the elements and maintains a semblance of resale value is extremely important.
According to the New York Times, garage remodelling adds a significant amount of value to your property. They also claim that modern garages are "the next frontier in remodelling" with the recent recognition of the need for high-end and sophisticated solutions for discerning clientele. For homeowners looking to add that finishing touch to their luxury property, the natural next step is creating a space worthy of your prized vehicle.
Defining the Garage Living Experience
A garage left unfinished represents an abundance of interior design potential. It takes a professional's eye to fully realise it by applying a wealth of knowledge in the latest trends for home interior. They understand what defines an upmarket garage and use their considerable expertise to create an inspiring vision for a full-scale makeover.
Johannesburg and Pretoria are home to some of South Africa's most distinguished garage makeover companies. We list out four top picks for you to choose from:
High-end storage solutions
A high-end property is defined by the sum of its parts. One of the focal points of a luxury garage is the inclusion of visually appearing organisation and storage solutions. Experts will guide you through the process of building customised cabinetry systems that add to the overall aesthetic and keep within the overall stylistic direction of your home.
Speciality storage racks utilising modern eco-friendly materials work well in preserving a high-end garage's impeccable design. They help to project a contemporary look and feel while assisting homeowners in keeping things clean and tidy.
Aesthetics from the floor up
A comprehensive garage design is envisioned from the floor upwards. This is why investing in quality floor coating and construction is the primary step. Luxurious flooring presents a canvas for the rest of your design direction.
Polyaspartic floor coating can transform a dreary garage into a world-class showroom. So be sure to ask your professional designer if they provide this option. It is essential that your garage retain a world-class appeal so first-rate flooring is an absolute must.
Always maintain the highest standards
From conceptualisation to planning to initialising the project, a skilled professional understands that the highest attention to detail is vital. No design details are too small to obsess over. Industry professionals are aware of this and will affect any change you desire regardless of how many times it needs to be redone.
They will keep regular communication with you and update you on every major completion. In short, defining a high-end garage and building it to the highest standards possible are two sides of the same coin.
A true industry expert takes pride in their work and the garages they transform. This should be reflected in the final product as well as assured by a collection of good client testimonials. You may be promised the world, but the proof is in the design layout.
Experience luxury from the moment you drive in
Because a garage represents the very first thing you see when you arrive at home it can no longer be seen as an afterthought. The garage is just as essential to the luxury aesthetic of your home as the kitchen and living room.
That being said, one of the key design directions you may wish to consider should be tailored to compliment your vehicle. Think of the colour scheme and design of your vehicle and match that to the garage. Nothing quite makes a luxury car look all the more impressive than high-end surroundings and modern, functional garage interior design.
What's more, when it comes to the point where you're looking to sell your home, potential buyers will be looking out for these sorts of luxury editions, especially in upmarket real estate.
