Designing the Perfect Garage: Tips and Considerations

“A clean house is a cool house, clean dishes make for a delicious meal.” The Vietnamese prioritize a tidy and organized living space. Besides the house itself, designing a garage is also a major concern for homeowners, not just for convenience but also for its influence on feng shui, believed to bring prosperity and luck to the family. So how do you design a garage that is practical, aesthetically pleasing, and in harmony with feng shui? Let’s explore some key tips with Hanoi Truck!

1. Factors to Consider When Designing a Garage

1.1. Garage Placement

According to feng shui expert Nguyen Van A (in his book “Feng Shui for Homes”), the ideal location for a garage is in the Southeast or Northwest sector of the house. These directions represent wealth and benefactors. Avoid placing the garage in the South, as this direction is associated with Fire, which can clash with the engine of vehicles (also Fire), potentially affecting the health of family members.

For example, Mr. Minh in Cau Giay district, Hanoi, chose to place his garage in the Northwest, avoiding the South, when building his house. Since moving into his new home, his business has flourished, and he has experienced fewer vehicle problems.

1.2. Garage Size and Dimensions

The garage should be spacious enough for easy vehicle entry and exit, with additional room for storage. The minimum size for a 4-seater car garage is 3m x 5m, while a 7-seater car garage should be at least 3.5m x 6m.

Ms. Lan in Hoai Duc district, Hanoi, owns a pickup truck. Initially, to save space, she designed a rather small garage. After a while, she found maneuvering the truck inside challenging and prone to scratches. Eventually, she decided to renovate and expand the garage to ensure comfort and safety.

1.3. Lighting and Ventilation

The garage needs adequate lighting for safe vehicle movement at night. A proper ventilation system is also crucial to maintain fresh air and prevent the buildup of gasoline fumes.

1.4. Construction Materials

Choose non-slip materials for the garage floor and use wall paint that is resistant to stains and easy to clean.
