We’re so grateful for her sage advice and prompt attention. We couldn’t have found our dream house without her! ~ Maddie & Jasper

DESIGNING A FUNCTIONAL GARAGE: TRENDS AHEAD

TODAY, OUR GARAGES ARE NO LONGER JUST A PLACE TO PARK YOUR CAR. THEY HAVE NOW EVOLVED INTO MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACES THAT REFLECT PERSONAL STYLE AND ENHANCE OUR DAILY LIVING. TRANSFORMING YOUR GARAGE INTO A FUNCTIONAL AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING SPACE REQUIRES THOUGHTFUL PLANNING AND DESIGN. WHETHER YOU AIM TO CREATE, A WORKSHOP, A MAN CAVE, OR A STORAGE AREA, THE LAYOUT IS CRUCIAL TO MAXIMIZING THE USE OF SPACE.

LET’S DIVE INTO THE LATEST TRENDS AND WAYS TO CREATE A FUNCTIONAL AND STYLISH GARAGE.

Photography by Garage Studio Design

Light, Bright, and Airy Spaces

Gone are the days of dark, dingy garages. Modern designs emphasize natural light and bright, airy spaces. Large windows and glass doors can transform your garage into a welcoming environment. Consider overhead lighting within your design as well as using lighter-coloured paint and cabinetry to amplify the brightness.

Storage Solutions

Innovative storage solutions, such as ceiling-mounted racks, wallmounted shelves, and modular cabinets, help keep everything organized. Customizable storage systems allow you to tailor the space to your specific needs whether is for tools, sports gear, or seasonal items. ▹

Versatile Spaces

Today’s garages are designed to be versatile. They can serve as a workshop, gym, home office, or even an entertainment area. Incorporate flexible furniture and movable partitions to easily switch between different uses. This adaptability ensures that your garage meets your evolving needs ahead.

Tech Integration

Smart technology is making its way now into our garages. Automated lighting, climate control, and security systems enhance convenience and safety. Consider smart garage door openers that can be controlled by your smartphone bringing an added extra layer of security.

Design Aesthetics

Aesthetics play a crucial role in today’s modern garage design. Nothing is more important than incorporating durable yet stylish materials for flooring, such as epoxy coatings or interlocking tiles. A vast array of colour and finish options today from cabinetry to flooring and wall finishes allow you to create a cohesive and overall stylish look.

USE HANGING STORAGE

THAT’S MORE VERSATILE . Garage walls are commonly used for hanging storage. To maximize their full ability, use slatwall panels that are precisely cut to fit your garage’s dimensions including cutouts for wall switches, outlets, central vac , etc. They will add a wealth of storage space, while eliminating floor clutter.

Multi-Generational Spaces

More than ever garages are becoming multi-generational spaces, accommodating the needs of different family members. This could mean creating a play area for kids, a workshop for hobbies. Designing with flexibility in mind ensures that everyone can benefit ahead from the space.

Bringing It All Together

Creating a functional garage is all about blending practicality with style. By embracing these trends, you can transform your garage into a versatile, organized, and aesthetically pleasing space that will truly enhance and bring functionality into your daily lifestyle.

THIS IS A DELICIOUSLY RICH AND CREAMY MUSHROOM SOUP THAT YOU MAKE IN ONE POT. IT MAKES A HEARTY SUPPER SERVED WITH A WARM BUTTERED ROLL OR RUSTIC CRUSTY BREAD FOR DIPPING. LEFTOVERS CAN BE PACKED IN A THERMOS FOR A HOMEMADE SCHOOL LUNCH, OR A HEART-WARMING SNACK AFTER A FALL OUTING.

CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp (30 ml) oil

• 1.5 lbs (680 grams) mixed mushrooms (crimini, shiitake, oyster), sliced

• 1 cup (250 ml) yellow onion, finely diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp (5 ml) Italian seasoning

• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) each, salt and fresh ground pepper

• 4 tbsp (60 ml) butter

• 1/4 (60 ml) cup all-purpose flour

• 4 cups (1 L) chicken or vegetable broth

• 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream

• Fresh thyme or chopped parsley for garnish

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1: Heat oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Remove half of the mixture from the pot; set aside.

STEP 2: Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to the pot; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

STEP 3: Add butter, stirring until melted. Add flour, stirring to coat mushrooms, about 30 seconds.

STEP 4: Slowly add broth, stirring to combine. Allow soup to simmer, about 10 minutes.

STEP 5: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Return reserved mushrooms to the pot.

STEP 6: Add cream, stirring to combine. Allow the soup to simmer for about 5 minutes, until thickened and creamy.

STEP 7: Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley.
