The World’s Most Beautiful Parking Garages

Would you believe that such a thing exists? I didn’t think it was possible. I haven’t found one attractive parking garage in Seattle. In fact, they are usually dark, muggy, complex, and foul-smelling. I do however enjoy the fact that the parking garage located at Pacific Place Mall indicates each level of the garage by major cities like Hong Kong and Sydney – I’m always getting lost when I’m walking around a parking garage, so any indication of what floor I’m on is a big help!

It seems that garages are often forgotten areas that are seen as inherently ugly. If you have a garage at home, when was the last time you gave it some TLC? If the answer is never, it demonstrates my point. A garage may be entirely for utility, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful too! Fortunately, there are people out there who recognise this. A company like Concord Garage Doors dedicates itself to repairing and restoring garage doors, creating an attractive space not only for your car to be stored in, but also for you to look at and admire. However, know that the above-mentioned firm is not necessarily the only option for you to choose. You must understand that there can be many other companies that can help in creating beautiful Custom Garages that not only look attractive but are also extremely functional. An example of such a firm could be Custom Garage Co. It is quite popular among their clients.

Remember that nobody wants to admire a dark, damp garage, but who says it has to be dark and damp?! All you need is some inspiration and professional help to transform the damp space into a lively one.

Flavorwire has chosen 10 of the best-looking parking garages across the world and after reading through the list, I might have to agree. Seattle needs to get it together obviously!
