Remodeling Tips for the Ultimate Sports Garage

Sports

Are you thinking about transforming your normal, uninspiring garage into a sports‑fan haven? Many have accomplished the task before you, with great success. The process works with virtually any sport... from NASCAR to football to fishing and everything in between.

Storing Sports Equipment

While your first thought might be to go out and by numerous bins and shelving units in various sizes, it's sometimes better to purchase storage units that are specifically designed to store the type of equipment you own. Some of these include:

  • Bike storage systems
  • Fishing pole racks
  • Ski or snowboard racks

You also have the option of investing in multi‑sport organizers. These are perfect to use in smaller spaces and typically accommodate equipment such as hockey sticks, bats, helmets, balls of all sizes, gloves, etc.

Wall hooks are the ideal choice for things like hockey nets and other large items that take up a large amount of floor space.

Sports‑Theme Garage Decor

Obviously, your sports‑themed decor is going to depend on your favorite sport. For example, if you love NASCAR consider:

  • Wall-to-wall diamond plate flooring
  • Miniature racecar replicas, hung from the ceiling
  • A small workbench, transformed into a minibar
  • NASCAR bean bags, framed posters and collectibles

If football is your thing, consider the following:

  • Green indoor/outdoor carpet, painted to resemble a football field
  • Football pennants
  • A minibar with enough room for two or three football shaped crock pots (for game day snacking)
  • A popcorn cart
  • Framed jerseys of your favorite players
  • At least two TV's

Essential Furniture and Equipment

Essential furniture and equipment, for your sports garage, is basically anything and everything you need to be comfortable. It's really up to you. Possibilities to think about include:

  • Comfortable recliners
  • A wall‑to‑wall sound system
  • A portable air conditioner or heater
  • A small refrigerator
  • Big‑screen TV
  • Home security system, to keep everything safe
  • A small bathroom

Hopefully, a few of these ideas spark your imagination. There really is no bad time to begin a sports garage conversion. You'll have a dedicated space to relax after a hard day. You'll also have a place to display all of the memorabilia you've collected over the years. What could be better than that!

Remember, a sports garage is somewhat like a work of art. Meaning, it doesn't have to be completed in one day. Purchase what you can afford and add to it on a frequent basis. You'll be surprised by how quickly your sports "man cave" comes together.
