GARAGE PAINTING 101
The color of your garage can make a huge difference in the final look of your property. Garage painting is actually essential if you want your property to look well-maintained.
Maybe you don't like the current color of your garage, it could be so bad that you never want to go into it again! Learning how to paint my own garage has been one project I've found rewarding in more ways than I thought possible - not only does this new look give me an instant mood boost every time I open up the door, but also because seeing all these completed projects out there makes me feel confident enough with myself as a DIYer for future home improvement endeavors.
Want to know how I made my garage a happy place to be in? Here's a quick guide:
Seal cracks: Cracks are the worst and that's why you want to stay away from them. If they show up after painting, it will be a disaster because we all know how much of eyesore cracks can be! That is where sealing comes in handy because once those gaps have been sealed off with some painter's caulk, paint won't stick onto the silicon so there should no longer be any problems.
Go for neutral colors: Considered to be the safest bet when it comes to deciding on a color for your garage or workshop, neutrals are always an easy choice. Beige and white have been popular choices among homeowners as they go with any furniture or bench that is in their home. With neutral colors, you can buy anything from dark brown couches to light-colored wooden tables.
Consider a lighter color: Darker colors will make space feel smaller and more confined, which might be exactly what you're looking for if it's an in-garage studio or some other space that needs to stay small on purpose. If not, consider painting your walls something light like white or cream instead of dark gray so they don't take up all the room!
Paint your floor too: Don't just paint the walls of your garage, make sure to paint the floor too! This is one way that you can give it a more inviting and homey feel without having to spend much time or money.
