clean it thoroughly ,paint it with good looking colours, stick beautiful posters ,some indoor games items also put there.How can i make an area in the garage for teenagers to have fun?
Generally you don't need to ';make'; a place for teenagers... they just find one. You could just clear a spot and flop out some chairs and an ash tray... the rest will follow as long as you 'leave them alone' and respect their 'privacy'...
First, decide whether you want controlled or uncontrolled access (do they have to come through the house to get to it?).
Setup the route to the area. Clean the area out as much as possible. It would probably be safest for your peace of mind to remove anything from that area that they could abuse, break, spill, set on fire, etc. If people are going to be hanging out there, you might not want to store anything like oil-based paints, pesticides, spray cans or other nasty things.
Let them do what they want with the space within reason, but let them know it will be inspected for safety - you don't want them hooking up extension cords that'll cause a fire hazard or start working on structural modifications that will be hazardous.
If you want to spring for it, you could get some secondhand chairs out there, add a central table for playing cards or whatever. Add lighting, provide a trash can they're responsible for emptying. Make sure everything is about as sturdy and unbreakable as possible.
Be aware that you're responsible for anything that happens in there. Lay out ground rules and keep an eye on things (discreetly).
How about putting in an old comfortable couch, running some cable out to the garage, and adding a video game system?
