The trend of building a large garage is increasingly becoming more due to the increased size of the vehicle or car. So, it is essential to create good design for your carport to keep it appealing.
Before actually starting your work, decide whether you want attached or detached car shed. Each has its own advantage and disadvantages. Analyze the benefits of both the styles to finalize the best option. You can have more living area and space if you go for connected model. Also it is possible to use the space as a play area for your children when your car has gone out.
Well if you have chosen for attached car shed decide about the small entry room which is mostly utility room. Of late, many people do not prefer this passageway of small utility room before entering the house. A big car shed which faces the street is ideal when it is connected to the side of your house.
Gone are those days when each house would have a small parking space for storing one car. Nowadays most of the newly constructed houses have two or three car sheds in it. So keeping in view of the latest trend go for a bigger garage area for storing big cars and vehicles.
To add more beauty design the car shed at an angle from the street instead of just facing it. In some houses, they include living spaces above the car sheds. Since it is going to be combined wall and roofing, the cost for constructing a room above the car-shed will be economical. And you can plan to use that room as home office or guest room.
Remember that looks matter the most nowadays. Keep this in mind while designing your car shed. It should not look like a garage but it should be like part of your house. Take care to match the style, windows, and doors exactly with that of your house. Go for two or three smaller doors instead of one big bulky door.
Plan the stairs if you like to have living area on the top of your garage. Also consider factors like snow, hurricane etc., before constructing your new car shed.
