If you are the guy that hangs back until your neighbour disappears from view before you open your garage door – it is a clear sign it is time the space needs a little TLC. If you have a little time on your hands and a few extra Rs, make the most of the area. The walls of any garage are the most visible and with a bit of work they can also make the most dramatic impact.
Before attempting your garage wall treatment keep the following in mind:Our top three favourite garage wall treatments:
Paint
The most obvious, inexpensive and straightforward choice but impactful non the less. Choose a darker neutral colour to prevent any future stains from being too obvious. Or go for something bold, like a bright red feature wall. It is all up to you.
Wall PanellingThe world of wall panelling is an entire conversation on its own. Panelling is either sold in a tile or sheet format but the range of material they are made of vary between PVC, MDF, hardboard, vinyl, melamine, resin and even 3D. Panelling is durable, low maintenance and offer good insulation as well. They are also easy to install.
WallpaperWhy play it safe when you can play it cool? Fun murals of absolutely anything on earth are becoming quite the trend. A beautiful landscape, vintage cars, skyscrapers etc. – choose anything that will put a smile on your face for years to come. You don’t have to go “weird” with your wallpaper. Choosing an exposed brick wallpaper, for example can give you an extremely stylish appearance without all the effort.
