The garage is one of the most underrated and forgotten spaces when it comes to hosting parties and get-togethers with family and friends. This space can be used in so many different ways, but it’s up to you to discover the best uses for your garage! Here are some creative tips on how to decorate your garage to host an amazing party, whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, having a huge reunion, or just want to have some fun with your friends! It’s summer, and you know what that means — it’s time to throw a party! But it might be too hot or rainy to hold the party in your house, and you don’t have enough room in your house to hold everyone, anyway. A good solution is to hold the party in your garage instead. There are lots of ways to decorate your garage so it looks really nice, and we’ll cover five of them here today.
Move Out All Non-Essential Stuff
In order to make the space more inviting, start by removing anything non-essential. Take everything that’s not necessary and put it in an area that’s out of sight but easy enough to access if needed. This will also provide you with some extra surface space when it comes time to set up. If you have any furniture or other items that can be taken apart, this is a good time to do so as well. Not only does taking these apart free up a lot of floor space, but they’ll come in handy later on during the setup process.
If your goal is to add plants and flowers, now would be a good time too. Grab all of your plant pots and decorative containers from around the house, then bring them outside or into your garage before planting away! Fill pots with soil or planters with rocks first before setting them back down – this will help prevent them from toppling over later on. Finally, place some smaller plants inside larger planters for visual interest and depth. And don’t forget about adding lights! Use battery operated string lights as ground lighting to create ambiance without having wires run all over the place.
Assess The Garage’s Space According To Your Party Décor
Since the space is limited, it’s best to have one focal point in the center of the room. This will make everything else easier. It will also be important that you keep this area free from clutter and other objects that could get in the way of your guests’ movements. Next, you’ll need to determine how much storage space you have available for things like extra tables and chairs, as well as what appliances you’ll need if it’s going to be an outdoor event. From there, all that’s left is selecting appropriate décor and start planning your menu! The key to achieving success in any type of décor is using items with meaning and sentimentality for your home or business. You can find some really great ideas by browsing magazines and books, flipping through catalogues or looking at pictures on Pinterest. One last thing: when considering what type of music will set the tone for your evening, be sure to choose something upbeat and lively!
Clean The Garage’s Floor Thoroughly
Garages can be great spaces for parties, but they can also be cluttered and dirty. Take some time to clean the floor thoroughly before you throw down any furniture. If the floor is dirtier than you thought it would be, consider renting a power washer. You may also want to have someone come in and vacuum the space beforehand if there are cobwebs or dust bunnies that will show through your decorations. Be sure to remove any items stored in the garage that won’t be used during the party and make sure all of your tools are put away so they don’t get in the way of your guests or obstruct their view of anything going on in your yard.
Design A Creative Backdrop
One way to make your garage space feel festive is by using some string lights. You can buy these at almost any store and hang them up on the ceiling or on the walls. Another option is to use Christmas lights in different colors, which will create a fun ambiance as well. Adding balloons and streamers all over the floor and hanging up some festive decorations like inflatable snowmen will also help bring an air of festivity into the space. Make sure you have plenty of food and drinks on hand, as well as anything else your guests might need such as card games or board games. Finally, don’t forget about music! You’ll want to play something that will get people up and dancing if you plan on having other activities or if there are kids around.
Use Foldable Furniture To Save The Space
Foldable furniture is the best way to save space when hosting a party. Here are some examples of folding furniture that you could use in your garage:
– Tables – Chairs – Cots
If you do not have any chairs or tables, you can use cots as extra seating. There are so many different ways you can make your event more enjoyable with foldable furniture! One idea would be to set up folding chairs on one side of the garage and then set up foldable table on the other side. You can set up a long table and chair rows all down one side, and then use shorter, sturdier tables as centerpieces all down the other side. To keep them from being too high off the ground, place pillows underneath each one! Another option would be to create rooms with pieces of furniture such as ottomans or blankets draped over them to create makeshift walls.
Final Thoughts
Decorating your home for the holidays is an art and science. You want to create a space that’s inviting, functional, and festive. It’s important to start with the basics like lighting (you don’t want it too dark or too bright), but here are some other tips:
– Start by choosing your theme—themes are easier than trying to figure out what you need before you know what you have.
– Add color – if you’re having a holiday party, make sure there’s at least one color that pops in your space.
– Make it personal – add family heirlooms or photos of loved ones that can be used as décor or part of the food table. – Stay away from overused trends and stick to something timeless; after all, you’ll probably be using these items again next year.
