Clutter and junk can accumulate extremely quickly in the garage due to the fact that we only have to walk past it only once or twice a day. Although the garage is generally used to store our cars, we could probably make better use of our garage space.
Here are some tips to help maximize your garage space.
1. Utilize your vertical space. Install shelves, cabinets, or peg boards to keep everything organized.
2. Although it may seem common sense, make sure that any shelves and cabinets you install do not interfere with parking your car.
4. Wall cabinets are useful in storing away potentially hazardous materials in case you have children.
5. Utilize your “cloud” space. Ceiling storage is an excellent way to store things that you don’t use very frequently.
6. One of the more advanced methods of utilizing space is to install a long platform across the garage ceiling joints for more infrequently used items.
7. Keep your small items (e.g. nails and screws) stored in jars to reduce clutter.
8. Don’t forget the corners. A lot of corners can be utilize to store bins and smaller shelves. this makes it significantly easier for you to store things that you wouldn’t hang or store on the wall.
9. Don’t forget you need durable bins that can deal with the temperature changes in the garage.
10. Remember that maximizing your garage space does not have to be extremely pricey and expensive. As long as they serve their proper function, that’s all you really need.
Good luck with maximizing your garage space!
