Is your garage so packed with bikes, tools and unmarked boxes of junk that you’re forced to park in the driveway? Would you say that you do not have a functional garage? Here are some tips to rein in the clutter and actually use your garage for your car.
Organization Tips for a More Functional Garage
Free the floor: Hang bikes from the ceiling or walls using specially made hooks, or install a ceiling organizer to store camping gear and other seasonal items. There are all sort of kits you can buy at any hardware store today. Some of them can get pretty elaborate though.
Build a shelving system: Organizing pros say systems that allow you to see the contents tend to keep down the clutter more than units with doors that hide the chaos. Even labeling the containers with a Sharpie so when it comes time you do not have to move and open each container to see what is inside.
Reorganize your recycling: Check out the handy stack-able containers available at your local home improvement store to help you sort and store recyclables.
Find a new purpose: Closet storage solutions, like hanging plastic shoe holders, are great for storing miscellaneous items in the garage. They can be perfect for cans of spray paint, small gardening implements and hand tools.
Find a new place for paint: The gallon cans of paint you’ve been tripping over may be ruined if the temperature gets too low. Move them to the basement (if you have one) and free up some floor space. We purchased what we like to refer to is Wall-Lockers and we have all our paint inside them.
