A garage doesn't just have to be for tools, bikes or vehicles. You could use this space to store and organise your craft materials. Choose shelves that can be customised to suit your needs and add a workbench where you can sit and create. By changing the floor you'll also make the space feel less like a garage. Try an inexpensive laminate or vinyl which are easy to keep clean.
