It may sound strange but some people don’t use their garage for their vehicles. They would rather use it for something else or for some other purpose. For the most part, it’s storage of unwanted items or items that aren’t used very much. But what else could your garage be used for? Let’s see…

It has plenty of room to set up all of your equipment — your backdrop, camera, lights, etc. You will even have plenty of room to store extra props and backdrops without compromising your photo space — it’s the perfect photo studio.
Use your garage as a workout room or dance studio instead of just a storage space — just make sure you install the proper floor for your room to avoid injuries.

If you or your children are learning a new instrument but you don’t want to disturb the rest of the family while practicing, turn the garage into a sound-proof music space.

Turn the garage into an exciting game room — lay down some carpet to make it softer and throw in a comfy couch. Bring your friends over for epic multi-player parties or just a small group for a more intimate setting.
