Remember to look in your garage when your organising. Put to the side two successive days for organizing your garage using plastic storage boxes. One day for tearing it apart and putting it back together and the next day for organizing wall space. Clear out your garage of all the things like golf golf equipment, dinghy, skis etc. Take this time to sweep out bugs, dirt and more!
Decluttering is just as essential in this space as any other in your home. As soon as you have made decisions in relation to what you are keeping, it is time to define categories for storage. Don’t disregard the storage room above the overhead doors that can be used for long flat things.
Now you have created catorgories, place things that are for every day use easily accessable and those rare items you scarcely use up high out of the way. Make the most of wall and ceiling space to maximize your vicinity using plastic storage boxes . Put up shelves to place boxes on and label them so you can ‘look and find’. Garage items can be very weighty and need extra support, you might want to add extra supports or make them out of wood.
Use the wall space at the top of the wall and of course use those popular metal shelves. Shelving can go up here, be out of the way and is great for those things you only use once or twice a year. Well-built plastic storage boxes with lids are an outstanding way to keep bugs and dirt away.
Tag everything you have in plastic storage boxes for effortless searching. Being able to actually use your garage and find everything without wasting time hunting for it are rewards for your hard labor. You will end up finding things that you thought were lost. THe money you save will be huge as you won’t have to go and buy them again.
