The Garage Store
For almost two decades, The Garage Store has been at the forefront of redefining the garage. Fulfilling visions from concept to completion, their innovative designs reflect lifestyle, personality, and function.
The Garage Store has the tools and experience to plan a great garage space that can be a cost effective way to more than double the entire storage space in the home. “The garage is usually the largest room in the house, and is also the room that has the most potential to be organized attractively around your lifestyle choices, be it bikes, wine, camping… anything at all.” states President, Don Fetherstonhaugh. “What we do is adapt our storage solutions, making the maximum use of available air space using a wide range of cabinets, wall storage, and overhead storage solutions”
Family owned and operated, The Garage Store in Calgary pride themselves on being the premiere choice for garage interiors. “Our knowledgeable team is committed to providing the complete package of premium products, service, and installation that range from the simple to the extraordinary, and every budget in between,” says Don.
While forced to spend more time indoors, homeowners are exploring new ways to maximize their often under-utilized garage space. “People are looking at their homes differently now, and wanting an indoor/outdoor space with multiple uses makes a lot of sense,” shares Don.
Part of a whole home renovation, this garage was intended to be shared, with dad’s cars and the kid’s bikes. Hosting two lifts, one captures a steel box containing bikes, while the other keeps dad’s ride high and dry, opening up play space below. With custom cabinets in 16-gauge steel, they display powder-coated finishes with multiple storage capacities for functional diversity. “We use walls and ceilings in new and different ways with the garage doors matching the colour theme,” adds Don.
Above the stainless steel counter top a Dwight Lockhart design features a car-themed artwork on Lexan, backlit with LED lighting. Anchored by a durable and attractive floor surface, the decorative polyaspartic poly urea concrete coating resists stains and promotes lasting allure, coordinating beautifully with the design scheme.
“As part of the process, we create 3D renderings of your garage design using interactive software that allows the client to experience the space. “That’s part of our customer service—people can visualize the concept,” adds Don
“People’s personalities change when they are around things they love and we design our garages around that concept. The garage is also a well-organized utility space, and we have wall storage systems with hundreds of applications to encourage that need, but it’s not just storage anymore. It’s the newest, sexiest room in your home.”
