When carrying out DIY tasks or renovating parts of a home, the garage is an area which is often overlooked. In fact, there are plenty of ways to update the appearance of your garage without breaking the bank, and since all the work is based outdoors, there’s no better time than now to improve its look while the summer weather is warm and dry.

1. Downlighting

A popular choice for security purposes, a subtle use of downlighting can also create a sense of grandeur and style. The natural effect created by downlighting can illuminate a dark driveway which not only improves safety but also brightens up the appearance your garage.

2. Plants

Climbing plants such as common ivy, honeysuckle and clematis can be woven between fencing panels or scaled up a wall to instantly enhance the look of your garage. Boldly coloured potted plants scattered around your garage will also brighten up its appearance and create a more homely feel for an affordable price.
