CABINETS
Installing garage cabinets is among the best ways to utilize the overall space. With personalized cabinets, homeowners can sort and organize their garages efficiently.
Choosing the right material, number, and positioning of the shelves and the cabinet’s dimensions is crucial.
Wood offers more room for customization. Engineered wood is an optimal choice over solid wood because it’s more affordable and tolerates humidity and temperature changes better
Aluminum and steel are more durable and better suited for storing large and heavy items, but their costs will be higher.
Professionals can help by assessing the size and storage capacity of the garage. They can design personalized cabinets while considering the type, volume, and weight of items needing storage. An expert team also assesses the condition of the garage, like insolation and humidity.
OVERHEAD STORAGE
Even small garage spaces can accommodate larger storage capacities with the right modifications. Adding cabinets will cost floor space, but ceilings will not. So long as the garage doesn’t have low ceilings, it’s an excellent area to store items and offers more storage space than shelves. It’s best for storing belongings used infrequently, like seasonal items.
Understanding a garage’s construction and how the ceiling is supported plays a pivotal role when calculating the total weight of cabinets and stored items. A poorly installed ceiling rack is a huge safety risk. So, consult a professional to ensure the overhead storage is correctly installed, secured, and made from appropriate materials.
MOUNTING ON THE WALLS
Owners can utilize the walls to store everyday items, like ladders, garden hoses, bikes, and sports equipment. Installing slat walls or pegboards allows easy access and excellent visibility while freeing space and keeping the garage nice and tidy. Another option is installing individual mounting elements like sturdy hooks, magnetic bars, and racks on the wall.
WORKBENCHES
Using garage space for various crafts, repairs, and home projects requires having a decent workbench. A rolling or compact folding unit with added storage provides a usable surface with more storage space.
Plywood and medium-density fibreboard (MDF) are affordable worktop materials. However, they will require some maintenance in the long run. Conversely, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is highly durable and resistant to heat, scratches, and chemicals.

DIY-ing garage cabinets might cost less time and money, but it can cause safety issues if not done right. Consulting a professional will provide the best solutions to optimize garage space and increase storage capacity while ensuring safety for the household.
