Looking for the ultimate way to unwind during weekends and your off days? Want to have a permanent solution for all your boredom and work-related stress woes? If yes, it’s time you converted your garage into an entertainment zone! As it is, most of the times, the garage ceases to be used what it’s meant for, and ultimately turns into a dumping ground for junk and unwanted items. So, the most exciting makeover you could probably give to your garage would be that of an entertainment zone. With a cozy sofa where you can chill with friends over video games or movies, this place would be your perfect escape route from work, stress, and other worldly worries. You can even make room for a TT table and a mini pool table, depending on your budget and the amount of space available. There are plenty of other epic games you could include in your personal game room, such as Darts, Foosball, Chess, Scrabble, Monopoly, and so on.

Bar

Want to win over all your friends and guests with a splendid personal bar? Yes, converting your hopeless garage into a swanky bar is yet another amazing idea worth your consideration. Whether you want to host fun parties and get-together’s, chill with your best mates over a few beers and a football match, or even if you want to relax with a glass of red wine after a tiring week at work, a bar in the garage will be your perfect destination to unwind. Have a look over the internet and you’ll find hundreds of interesting bar designs from where you can get some inspiration. To add to the charm, you can even add a billiards table and a television set – perfect to chill out while enjoying a few drinks. So the next time you feel all stressed and worn out, why spend money at pubs and bars when you chill out at your very own personal garage bar!

Fill up the newly installed racks and shelves with your mounting book collection. You could even create different sections according to the subject and genre. To add to the appeal of your study room, you could station a desktop computer with internet access, where you can do all your surfing and research work, or where your children can work on their school projects or other school work.
