17 Tips for Designing a Purple Garage

In the hierarchy of home decor, only a few things are lower on the scale than the humble garage.

This concrete cavern of forgotten holiday decor, DIY projects, and a collection of tools often blends into the background, its grayness mirroring the dull practicality of its contents.

But what if we gave it one of those 2000s movie makeover scenes? What if… now stay with me, we go purple? A color as bold as it is unapologetic.

Imagine pulling into your driveway and not being met by the usual boring grayness but by a vivacious fortress of personality!

In the blink of an eye, your neighbors will be whispering about ”the house with the purple garage.” In a world of beige and gray, why not paint your garage purple?

Read on below to find out how you can style your new bold statement outside of your home!

1. A Bit of Purple in a Gloomy World

If your neighborhood is pretty run down or maybe it’s just always gloomy and rainy where you live, paint your garage doors purple to bring some color and brightness into your surroundings!

2. Picket Fence

If you want a cutesy garage and a cutesy home to go with it, surround them with a white picket fence! There’s nothing more cozy and cute than that!

3. Lilac City Stunner

Big cities tend to be devoid of color. It’s mostly brick, gray, beige, and concrete. If you’re someone lucky enough to have a garage in the city, bring some happiness into the dark by painting it purple!

4. Purple and Orange

Purple is a vibrant color on its own and it will surely add a pop of color to the exterior of your home, but why not make it more interesting and add some orange to the interior?

5. Give It Personality

There’s not much you can do the outside unless you do a whole tear and build, but some budget-friendly options are mainly painting your garage purple and adding accessories! 

Spruce up your garage with new lighting, hang up decor, and make it yours!

6. Keep It Semi-Tidy
