Commence Project “Get the Garage in Order” The garage is generally a dumping ground for whatever doesn’t fit into the house. In the event your garage requires a serious overhaul, reserve time to put it right using these genius organization ideas.
Easy Garage Storage Ideas
Save Floor Space
If you have any jumbo toy buckets, get them off the floor and put them onto the garage wall instead, like Aniko from Place of My Taste. Using the wall for storage allows for more floor space for big toys.
Group by Item
Hang awkwardly-sized objects on the wall to solve storage woes. Keep lawn tools, gasoline and extra parts together.
Pegboard Is Usually the Answer
Pegboard makes organizing a cinch. It does the job in garages of any size, too, enabling you to efficiently use every bit of square footage. An assortment of hooks and baskets hold paint supplies and tools for effortless organization.
Go Deep
Handy pull out drawers are extra deep to keep cleaning supplies hidden and make room for unusually large items.
All things in Its Place
Plastic storage bins look tidy and neat all in a row. Just be sure and label them so you know what’s inside. If you have the space, cubbies are a fantastic way to keep every member of the family organized. Ensure that you install them right next to the door for convenient unloading.
Hack It
Plastic window planters make the perfect storage containers. Mount them to the garage wall, and fill with spray paint cans and other materials.
Consolidate Items
Storing similar items together streamlines household routines. Wire baskets and clear plastic containers are visually appealing.
Grab and Go
A contemporary wall rack hanging in the garage offers grab-and-go storage for hats, scarves, dog leashes and much more. Hang coat hooks for jackets and hats, and put in a rack near the outdoor door for muddy boots. To draw the eye away from clutter, turn the wall into an eye-catching space.
Details Matter
The garage could possibly be the last place you want to add rugs, however it makes this typically cold space feel warm and inviting. (Which, coincidentally, might inspire you to keep it tidy.)
Upcycled Storage
Scrap wood is usually a big source of garage clutter, especially after big projects. To keep it organized, add casters to an old toy chest or create a chest utilizing the wood scraps.
Tuck It Away
Closets can be a good alternative for large families. Unsightly sports gear hides behind doors and individual cubbies give each family member a specified drop-zone. Baskets and bins are your best choices for corralling loose balls.
Vertical Storage, FTW
Make a budget-friendly broom holder for your garage using scrap wood and pipe straps. Hung on the wall, this cleaning tool holder takes up a lot less space when compared to a traditional storage bin.
A Place for Plants
Two freestanding steel garage cabinets along with a garden work bench offer organization and space for a variety of home and garden projects. Hooks on the wall for outdoor hats and tools help keep the top of the garden work bench free from clutter.
Make use of the Ceiling
You don’t need to use a shed for specialty outdoor equipment. Take inspiration from this garage’s slatted walls and ceiling hooks, which accommodate storage of sea kayaks, beach cruisers and golfing equipment.
Fake It
Combine old dressers and tabletops to produce a large workbench on a small budget. This pieced together built-in seems like it was always there!
