How Can You Better Organize Your Garage?

How do you keep clutter at bay in a home that has limited space? If your home has a garage then you could store things that you no longer need there. However, with all the clutter, how will you park your car and keep all your stuff at the same time? Here are some great garage organization tips to help you out.

Store Stuff on Shelves and Racks

You can build or purchase shelves or racks to store all your unwanted items in your garage. The ideal set up is to create shelving against all the walls of your garage to maximize space.

These shelves should be strong and should be easy to use. Since you would be storing items that you rarely need, these shelves should hold a lot of weight and adjustable, too.

Use Boxes and Bins

Aside from using shelves, store items of the same kind (Christmas decors, baby items or winter accessories) in one box. Consider cardboard boxes that can hold many items. Make sure to write on the side of the box so you can easily identify these items once you need them. Another great idea is a bin. The bin can be made of plastic or other material and can store a lot of items that you do not need.

Place boxes and bins on the top part of shelves to protect them from water damage and to reduce clutter on the garage floor.

Choose Hanging Systems

One of the most convenient and efficient storage systems for your garage is a hanging system. This type of system can be made of metal or wood and will be installed from the ceiling to hold more items. Hanging systems can also be installed on the ceiling above your car since this is one of the most commonly overlooked spaces to use.

All these great organizing tips will help you manage clutter in your home and in your garage, too.
