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
A garage is bound to be messy and even dirty! The least you can do to keep your purple garage looking brand new is to keep it clean and tidy! Only display your most used items!
7. Double Trouble
If you have two garages or maybe a garage neighbor, convince them to paint their garage doors purple as well! Double the fun and double the good-looking garages!
8. Create a Purple Ambiance
Sometimes you don’t have to paint anything at all! You just need LED or neon lights in your garage to turn it purple!
9. All Purple Everything
Garages come in all shapes and sizes and in different materials! Don’t worry though, just because you have a barred garage, doesn’t mean you can’t paint it!
10. Turn It Into an Office
If you don’t have any particular use for your garage, you can always transform it into an office! Whether this garage is in the bustling city or in front of your home, you can still do this!
Plus, purple is a very soothing color, so your work will be extra productive if surrounded by it!
11. Dark and Moody
We’ve seen plenty of cute, lighter garages, so let’s focus on something a bit more grungy and moody! This garage might not be filled with things, but it definitely will transport you into the future!
12. Teen Hangout Space
A teen hangout space can be anywhere! The tree house, the back shed, the basement, and especially, the garage!
If you don’t use your garage, paint it purple and watch your teens flock to that space!
13. Purple Bar Space
There are so many ways you can style a purple garage and the possibilities are endless! Purple is also a good lighting color, and you can create a beautiful bar space right in your own home!
14. Match the Home to the Garage
If you feel like your garage is going to stick out like a sore thumb, but you really love the idea of it, incorporate more purple into the rest of your home!
Paint the doors and shutters purple, for example, or incorporate purple flowers around your house!
15. Workshop Spaciousness
If you have a spacious garage and want to turn it into a workshop, purple is a fairly versatile color and apart from painting the walls, add some neon signs and lights to make it interesting!
If you want a futuristic and grungy look to it, keep some of the old fixtures and concrete pillars!
16. Doorless Garage
If you want to make your doorless garage pop and give your car a safe space to be under, paint it purple and watch it get a new life! Even if everything around it is dated and cracked!
17. Luxury Abode
This one is probably where Prince stored all of his cars! Luxury details and expensive items all go with purple since it has been considered the color of royalty since ancient times!
