Question

Ideas on what to put on or in front of the garage? It’s too bare and boring to look at

Answer 1

A fair few jealous cunts on this post! Sounds like they are jealous because there house is no bigger than your garage  

Comments

@delldella81 I know. I have taken to planting and dealt with around the house just wanted ideas on how and what to add to the garage ‍♀️ If I was showing off I certainly would have waited until we saved enough money to do something with the drive and wasn’t multicoloured with donor brick just so it’s usable the now.  

---

@oskar just ignore them your clearer better off than them! Unless its recycled or made of pallets some people on this page wont be happy

Answer 6

Some lovely shaped topiary!  

Answer 7

Hanging baskets

Answer 8

Trellis pots and some climbers. honeysuckle clematus n jasmin under planted with pansies

Answer 9

Ooo that’s a nice big space. You can get planters that have trellis attached for a bit of height. I wouldn’t want to fasten anything to the garage itself it looks so perfect lol I have some solar lights attached with gutter hooks to the front of my house which look pretty in the evening.  

Answer 10

Paint eyes on the garage doors:)

Answer 11

Up down lights and some pot plants inbetween

Comments

@quinque Summers I was thinking exactly the same thing, she made sure she got the hot tub in there too!  

---

I’m female I don’t have any cares for the size of a garage. If anything it caused arguments at the amount of garden he was taking away from the kids but jealousy noted  

---

Well, i think it's beautiful! What about a climber either side or in the middle? X

---

@oskar hey I'm female and I would love a garage like that  also means when he's working on the cars he can be inside it out of my way my garage doesn't actually fit my car hahahah

---

Why are people so jealous?!? It's a genuine ask, it does look bare and boring and there's been some good advice so far.  

---

@oskar so many jealous folk around just ignore them honey . I think it's nice that you're replying to some people x just leave it, it looks lovely xxx

---

@oskar well said  

---

@quinque Summers your a bit of a dick aren't you.  

---

Not sure anyone was jealous just an observation. Options for the garage is either hanging baskets, trellis with climbers or a combination of both. I'm sure if we have offended anyone it wasnt meant, just an observation, one that more than one person clearly has. Nice garage by the way.

Answer 28

Wisteria. It would look stunning.  

Answer 29

Grow up lads. It's just a garage. not a particularly pretty one. Give it 6 months and they will be full of bicycles, and unwanted household junk like everyone else's. You can get long bags that you can fill with plants that would pretty much cover the walls.

Answer 41

Some people are bloody bitter. How sad you feel the need to pick on people who have more money than you. Or seem to. She didn't ask about your thoughts on her finances! I think lots of topiary would be lovely. Some vines for the fence maybe too? X

Comments

@interbreed209 yeah Alot of people on here are of the opinion if it isn't made from pallets they stole from the local industrial estate it Dosnt count as a budget build.  

---

@interbreed209 they can say what they want I’m not ‘loaded’ far from it. My partner had his own garage while working as a full time HGV mechanic. I worked as a welder for the last 12 years but then had children. He sold his garage with a cash buyer, I sold property I was renting out and took my redundancy money. Now I’m a part time FM management and he still does his full time job. We have put everything into this house which was completely run down when we bought it and had sat empty for a year with no interest it was that outdated x

Answer 42

Nice garage In the process of going a large one myself. A few old dealer / motor related signs will have it looking quality. Also 3 large pots with small busy trees would break up the colour's too

Answer 43

Looks good

Answer 44

Maybe grow a climber up the wall - a lovely wisteria or clematis would give colour, texture and smell amazing when you get out the car

Answer 45

I’d go for a couple of topiary trees and maybe a climber trained above the garage doorways. Failing that you could always train a climber to climb up the sides and middle of the doors then let it just cover the whole front of the building.  

Answer 46

Big pots with large green evergreen plants and a couple of hanging baskets will soften it up . Looks lovely though

Answer 47

I'd put me husband and get some darts . Ask me after lockdown . X

Answer 48

What about a living wall? I’ve seen set up kits for it but I bet you could do it with pots on racks. They look great, I’ve seen them done with succulents too. Or a meadow flower roof they seem popular

Answer 49

Upside down v shaped lattice climbing plant trellises on uprights and a wisteria across top of the doors

Answer 50

Couple of climbers in pots either side. Something colourful  

Answer 51

How about some atrificial ivy you can buy?  

Answer 52

What about painting the garage doors a lighter colour and then conifer trees in pots. X

Answer 53

Some nice buxus or trellis on the wall with climbing plants like Montana Rubens clematis or jasmine or honeysuckle ?  

Answer 54

Wisteria grown around it

Answer 55

Can you put trellis around the door frames with perhaps climbing plants in or a lovely pot with trellis in front of each door pillar.  

Answer 56

Buxos balls in pots , 3 would look great and classy

Answer 57

Do a flower wall all around garage doors

Answer 58

Answer 70

Pots with lovely bushes in them?

Answer 72

If it were me, I'd just fix 3 carriage type lights, one either side, one in middle. Then have 3 pots with the tall topiary trees

Answer 73

I’d approach the local college or advertise on a local page for an art student to come and paint it ! Is that shot tub? You need a beach/sea/sky scene - it would look ace!  

Answer 74

I just googled garage murals - I don’t like this but you get the idea

Answer 75

Awnings over doors and three lights on e at each end and one in the centre would look great

Answer 76

Ignore the keyboard warriors out there today they seemed bored with this lockdown, how about painting the garage grey (or different colour) and the doors a different colour and definitely some planters either side, I'm sure it will look lovely  xx

Answer 77
