You started the year with big renovation plans — repainting rooms, updating furniture, finally taking control of the chaos. But if your garage is still full of clutter and cobwebs, you’re not alone. That’s why we’ve created a simple, realistic challenge to help you completely transform your garage in just one month — and no, you don’t have to spend every spare second covered in paint.
By following this week-by-week guide, you’ll reclaim your space without burning out. And best of all? You’ll finish with a brand-new Doring Secure Roll electric roller garage door — the ultimate upgrade in style, function, and home security.
Week 1: Declutter & Plan Your Vision
Start with the basics. It’s time to tackle the clutter once and for all.
- Go through everything in your garage and create three categories: Keep, Donate, and Bin. Be honest — if you haven’t used it in over a year, you probably never will.
- Once the space is cleared, take time to define its future purpose. Will this be a workshop? A home gym? A sleek storage area or even a remote workspace? Having a clear vision now makes every step more effective.
- Check whether any changes you plan (especially structural ones) require planning permission. Most internal conversions won’t, but it’s always worth confirming.
By the end of the first weekend, you’ll have a blank canvas and a clear direction.
Week 2: Deep Clean & Refresh with Paint
With the space cleared, it’s time to clean and brighten things up.
- Sweep floors, brush away cobwebs, and wash all surfaces, including the walls and inside of the garage door.
- For a longer-lasting finish, apply moisture-resistant paint to walls and ceilings.
- Opt for light, neutral colours to reflect more light and make the space feel larger. Or, if you’re building a cosy gym or man cave, try deep greys or charcoals for a bold look.
This stage sets the tone for your upgraded garage and gives it a clean, modern foundation.
Week 3: Install Storage & Smart Organisation
Now it’s time to turn your clean shell into a smart, usable space.
- Add wall-mounted shelving and pegboards to maximise vertical space and keep floors clear.
- Use labelled storage boxes (ideally transparent) to make items easy to locate.
- Install bright, energy-efficient LED lighting — it’s a small upgrade that makes a huge difference.
- Think about smart storage for seasonal gear like bikes, tools, or garden equipment. Hooks, racks, and modular systems go a long way.
Your garage should now be functional, tidy, and easy to navigate — not just a dumping ground.
Week 4: The Final Flourish — And a New Garage Door
Now comes the fun part — turning your upgraded garage into a space you’ll be proud of.
- Fix minor details: tighten loose screws, clean corners, and check your storage systems are working well.
- Consider finishing the floor. Whether it’s rubber mats, epoxy coating, or interlocking tiles, a good floor improves comfort and protects against wear.
- Upgrade your garage door with a Doring Secure Roll electric roller door — the ultimate finishing touch.
