Does anyone have any suggestions of how we can improve this space? It's an elevator lobby in our garage. I thought about a seating area, but I don't want people really hanging out here. A dog wash station was not approved. We already have vending machines. Any other ideas for this space?

Guest Insider Bike storage?

Guest Insider Give it a mural staging of the building map.

Jamie Jennings Selfie mural!

Shannon Clark Vending machines?

Guest Insider Maybe a mural and a community pantry? Depending on the area maybe a space for foods/necessities people may need if it’s a high traffic area.

Guest Insider I like the art idea- I was going to say a community board- but it would be another thing to stay on top of.

Guest Insider Mini library / wifi lounge
Bike repair station
Selfie station with a cute mural and branded hashtag
Chalk or whiteboard wall open to residents to draw on whenever they want.
Kinetic art - wall art that can be played with
Coffee station
Maker space / craft area

Guest Insider Maybe just paint and break up the space with some fake plants, posters/art, and a bookshelf or two for a take-a-book leave-a-book library?

Diana Romero Do you have a package lockers? That would be a good space for package lockers

Guest Insider Bike storage, Amazon package lockers, could be a resident lounge area. I would definitely bring some color to that area, depending on your property and the vibe of it you can make it funky or fun.

Sandy Leider Could be a great space to advertise local businesses in your area.

Guest Insider Info boards

Guest Insider Efficiency unit

Guest Insider Book station? Or a nice mirror to check yourself before leaving.

Guest Insider I would have a wall built and create storage for when people move out and leave stuff behind that you have to hold vs it taking up other valuable space your team may need

Peggy Bromberg What about that faux greenery that comes in squares

Guest Insider A mural a community post board and I bike rack

Peggy Bromberg And a cute stencil on the floor to look like a mat

Megan Goodmundson there is likely very little options - i bet your fire dept wants that area pretty clear and free of obstruction - the mural suggestion is a good one - some nice floor mats, perhaps with property logos. honestly i might try to improve the look a bit but i'd spend money elsewhere. keep in mind ease of cleaning when you are thinking of options.

Ryan Pope Paint some games on the floor like tick tac toe, hopscotch call it game area. Throw a dart board on the wall. Parcel room?

Stephanie Graves What about green grass wall for photos?? Maybe one of those led signs?? Green mural with maybe LED sign?? Would be cool if you could change message occasionally??

Guest Insider How about a box recycling station? People could leave their broken down boxes there, for other residents to use when moving? You could build dividers in that cubby to slide the boxes in vertically

Guest Insider Some cool art pieces. Add some colors!

Jonathan Leake Contact your local college art department and have a student paint a mural, cheap

Debra Cooper Stepp Rental Colorful Cube Storage Lockers with Music ; Interested? Contact For Design : www.ExteriorColorDesign.com

Guest Insider Pool table

Guest Insider Books, resident art/photos/events, bike area.

Dan Holden Set up beer pong? Perfect for community moral!

Laura Renaldo Paint, more welcoming lighting, little library and mural with message board area for announcements

Guest Insider It's hard to tell, but I don't see sprinklers in this area? I wouldn't use it for public storage as it's a high traffic area. Does your maintenance staff use other spaces onsite for a janitors closet or attic stock that could actually be rented to your residents (better location, more finished)? If so, you could section off the back right past the elevators and move storage for staff there and rent out the other space. Just verify that you don't have elevator pressurization and that you have appropriate sprinkler heads.
Something you could do for instant results is paint the entire ceiling gray to match the base trim. It'll help the pipes disappear and create a uniform look.
A selfie mural is a great idea to activate the space and warm it up.

Guest Insider A Little Free Library? They make me happy just to walk by!

Guest Insider Personally, would put an announcement Wall and shout outs for birthdays

Seymoura Adams The walls need *color* some type of artwork, I agree with a bookshelf, and or a community event board.

Bingying Lin Is there wifi in this space? Announcement screen would actually light this space up and grab your residents' attn while they're coming in and out/waiting for the elevator.
