Step 1: Clean out the garage.

Step 2: Lay garage carpet on the entire garage floor.

It is also ideal for study furniture, as it is firm enough to roll on a wheelchair at a desk. , At the minimum, add a desk, some shelves for books, a chair for studying from, and good lighting.
Other additions might include bookcases, filing cabinet, printer stand, etc.
When designing the layout, decide whether you must leave space for the car(s) still or whether you have a much larger space to work with.
If you are still letting the cars live in the garage, try to create a barrier between your study space and the cars, such as a movable wall partition, a concertina sliding and folding accordion room divider, or opaque glass wall sliding screens.
