Once considered a purely functional space to park cars and store tools, the humble garage is being reimagined as a bona fide extension of the home. What does this mean for luxury car enthusiasts? With the right approach, your garage can be a showroom, a sanctuary, and even a statement of your own identity.
At CODA Bespoke, we thrive on these transformations.
From sleek, minimalist spaces designed to showcase modern supercars to expansive subterranean havens for a collection of vintage classics, thoughtful design can push the limits of what a garage can be.
Rethinking the purpose of the garage is the first step in its transformation. Garages are traditionally an afterthought – plain, functional spaces relegated to the sidelines of architectural design. A new era of modern, luxury living has shifted this perception dramatically.
With thoughtful planning, the garage can serve not only as a storage solution but as an opportunity to showcase your luxury car collection in a space designed with the same care and precision as the rest of your home.
This reinvention of the garage is especially appealing for owners of luxury vehicles. After all, cars like Ferraris, Bentleys and Aston Martins are more than modes of transport. They’re works of art in themselves.
Whatever your vice, whether it’s a vintage, hand-built Rolls-Royce Phantom or a jewel-toned Lamborghini, luxury cars are engineering marvels. Here’s how to transform your garage into a showroom that celebrates their beauty and craftsmanship:
Transformations start with an evaluation of your garage’s existing layout and potential. A showroom garage calls for more than just square footage. It demands a design that’s both functional and luxurious.
Lighting is a crucial design element of any space – garages included. Use lighting to create ambience and draw attention to the finer details of your vehicles.
The materials you choose set the tone for your garage’s transformation. For a high-end feel, invest in quality, durable finishes that can withstand wear and tear without sacrificing style.
Smart technology can further transform your garage from a functional space into a state-of-the-art showroom. Beyond aesthetics, these innovations bring convenience, security and functionality to your garage.
The average car can be parked on the street, no questions asked. Luxury cars are different. Many require specific environmental conditions to maintain their pristine state. Installing climate control systems ensures the temperature and humidity levels are optimal year-round and can help prevent issues like rust or interior damage.
App-controlled lighting systems allow you to adjust brightness and colour temperature to suit different occasions.
Luxury cars come with luxury price tags which means advanced security features are a must. High-definition CCTV cameras, motion sensors and biometric access controls help safeguard your collection from theft or damage and of course, offer peace of mind.
For avid collectors with multiple vehicles, incorporating a hydraulic lift can double your storage capacity.
At CODA Bespoke, we believe the cars themselves should inform the design of the space. Here’s some food for thought:
No luxury showroom is complete without the finer details that elevate the space. Take your space to the next level and consider incorporating:
Create a comfortable seating area where you can relax, entertain guests or discuss your collection. Think high-end furnishings like leather chairs, Persian rugs and a marble coffee table.
For the ultimate indulgence, include a small bar or coffee station, complete with custom cabinetry and integrated appliances.
Whether you’re listening to your favourite Spotify playlist while tinkering with your cars or hosting a private gathering, a high-quality audio system can work wonders for the ambience of your garage.

We’re excited to share that our Park Road, Timperley project, developed in collaboration with PIC Homes, has been shortlisted for Small Housing Development of the Year (fewer than 60 homes) at the Insider North West Residential Property Awards 2025! This recognition highlights our dedication to creating bespoke, high-quality housing that enhances both lifestyle and community.
In partnership with PIC Homes, the Park Road development in Timperley is a perfect example of thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship.

This development prioritises exceptional design, sustainability, and functionality, delivering premium homes that balance contemporary living with timeless appeal. From the carefully considered layouts to the high-quality finishes and materials, every detail reflects a commitment to creating spaces that feel both modern and connected to their surroundings.
The Insider North West Property Awards celebrate the very best in the property sector, and being nominated in the Small Housing Development of the Year category is an honour.
