Get your garage organisation down
Looking to get organised in the new year? What better way to free up space than to declutter your garage. It’s often an area that’s neglected, but with the right changes, can make all the difference! Follow along with our simple tips to get your garage perfectly organised.
Chuck away unwanted items
It may seem like common sense, but before trying to organise your garage, you should throw out any tools taking up valuable space. We’re all guilty of chucking things in the garage in order to remove them from the home, however, if they aren’t being used it may be time to get rid. Once removing these you may find your space already feels bigger and your task ahead is far easier!
Wall space
Firstly, it’s important to utilise the whole space, including the walls! For example, using pegboards, hooks, or shelves can help store tools and other objects off surfaces but keep them easily accessible. This is far more practical and means finding the tools is far easier. Additionally, to attach your belongings to the wall, magnetic strips are a great alternative. Metal tools can be attached more efficiently and securely, making it the perfect solution!
Ceiling storage
Similarly to utilising the wall space, it’s also important to take advantage of your ceiling. Overhead storage is great for bigger items as the racks can hold more weight. However, as access isn’t readily available, it’s best to store less frequently used items or those season dependant.
Continuing, it’s common for a lot of people to store forms of transport in their garage. For example: bikes, scooters, or skateboards. These are often awkward to organise and can get in the way, using specialised hooks or racks keep these out of the way and protected from getting damaged.
Organise areas
Another way of keeping your garage organised includes making sure you are aware of where each item is kept, to make it easier to find them.
One way of doing this includes using transparent storage boxes. This helps you see quickly the contents inside and decide if it’s the right one.
Carrying on from this, labels are also a useful tool to track the placement of items. Simple titles to describe the contents can speed the process up dramatically.
