Fun Flooring Options For Your Garage

Matt Huculak • August 13, 2013

Your garage is a part of your home, and like the rest of your living space, it should say something about your personality. Most garages come with plain cement floors. Cement is sturdy and a good choice for a strictly utilitarian space, but it’s usually not the most attractive or fun option. If you want your garage to reflect who you really are, you can show the elegant or whimsical side of your personality by choosing a fun flooring option. Polyaspartic garage flooring is a great option because it’s non-skid, stain-resistant and so easy to keep clean. It’s also possible to choose just about any design before having the floor sealed. Here are some fun ideas to consider:

Faux brick flooring

While real brick flooring might appeal to you, it’s not the best material for a garage floor due to staining and sturdiness concerns. Also, brick floors are not flat and even, and they would be difficult to clean. Faux brick flooring with an epoxy coating, however, offers the look of a bygone era and the ease of modern convenience. If you choose white garage cabinets and shelving and have a white or black car, this might be a great option for you.

Feature your favorite team

Are you a die-hard supporter of a certain team? Will you root for your alma mater for the rest of your life? Have their hand-painted logo featured front and center on your garage floor! The coating will keep it looking great for years to come, and all visitors to your home will know what team to talk about with you if they want to get on your good side!

Checkers

Whether you’re picturing something reminiscent of a 50s diner or large blocks of color, checkered garage flooring can lend a fun contemporary look to your garage. Don’t feel like you have to stick to the alternating black-and-white design, either! Integrate color, add a hopscotch court for the kids, make a lifesize checker (or chess) board for the kids-at-heart, or find other ways to mix it up.

Use color to your advantage

You can use blocks of color to designate different sections of your garage. For example, Dad’s workspace could be done in one color, while storage is done in another color, and car-parking zones are in a third shade. This can help eliminate confusion over what goes where, and it might even reduce arguments about how the garage space is used.

Stick with the status quo

If you like the look of monochromatic floors, then don’t feel as though you need to add interest via this particular surface. Solid gray or brown flooring is a neutral and unobtrusive backdrop for the rest of your garage, so don’t feel bad about wanting to keep it! A coating will keep your floor in great condition, and even adding the showroom shine that comes with many coatings will make a big difference in the appeal of your garage flooring.

Don’t forget that your garage is every bit a part of your home as the living room, dining room and kitchen. When you have a custom garage put in, think about what type of flooring that you would like, and don’t be afraid to think out of the box.
