Keeping your garage clean and organized can seem like a hassle, but with these simple tips, you can maximize the space you have and store items so they are easily accessible.
START BY DECLUTTERING
It’s hard to maximize the space in your garage if you don’t know what’s in it. Whether you decide to take the project on in small chunks or devote the whole weekend (or two), decluttering your garage is the first step to freeing up more space.
The most effective way to get through your stuff in your garage is to go through them each individually and decide what you want to keep, sell, donate, or throw out.
Things to consider during this process:
Was it used in the last year, and will I use it anytime soon? If no, get rid of it.
Is it a keepsake, and I’ll regret getting rid of it? If yes, find somewhere hot temperatures can’t degrade your precious items. If no, donate it or sell it.
Ask yourself: What could I do with the money I will get from selling this? Or what can I do with the space I’m saving by getting rid of this? Then follow your gut. The money you spent on certain items is already long gone, so if you keep it and never use it, you’re still not getting additional value.
Are there any hazardous or toxic items I plan on getting rid of? If yes, you’ll want to discard those items properly. Here is a comprehensive guide for Arizona residents on how to dispose of hazardous household materials.
GET CREATIVE WITH WALL SPACE
It’s your garage, why not have fun with your space? From creating a simple wall storage system to adding recycle bins, adding tool racks, and other types of wall units, there’s a lot you can accomplish in a weekend. We usually suggest figuring out what you need to store and then deciding how you want to save it.
The wall is a great place to put in wooden boards and some simple brackets to keep your stuff off of the garage floor and looking neat! Not everyone is handy with DIY, so we’re always happy to consult on your next project and help out depending on your needs, so give us a call.
INSTALL A PEGBOARD
Pegboard is a fun project if you’re into DIY. Pegboards are a simple and easy way to hang tools and gadgets neatly where you can see them. Use the pegboard like a backsplash in between cabinets and on the wall. Add wire brackets, and you can hang baskets for smaller items like nails, hardware, and anything else that you want to stay organized and easy to find.
INSTALL GARAGE STORAGE CABINETS
Make it much easier to store items and keep them clean from dust and dirt in the garage with cabinets. An essential benefit of installing garage storage cabinets is that they keep your things safe, and they add a pleasing aesthetic and feel to your newly organized garage.
Lastly, stored items are accessible when needed but out of reach of curious children and pets, especially crucial for poisonous or flammable substances.
GET RID OF OLD PAINT
It might seem random in a short list, but we all believe we’ll reuse those old paint cans someday. They’re taking up a lot of space, and reminding you of projects you haven’t started. Please take a picture of the colors and type in case you want to get it again in the future, but save yourself the looming to-do and get rid of those old paint cans.
We hope these simple tips to maximize your garage storage help you get the aesthetic and storage you need for your home garage.
