How to Maximize Your Garage Space

Your garage has tons of potential to add more storage, space and organization to your home and property. Take a chunk of time to make the most of your garage and reap the benefits of a refreshed and rejuvenated space.

Follow these tips to less clutter and chaos in your garage:

1. Formal storage: A great avenue to more storage and clean, uncluttered space is to add in garage cabinets. This type of formal storage along your garage’s walls can house items that you want to protect from getting dirty or affected by weather.
2. Additional organization: Beyond cabinets, you can put hooks and shelves along your garage’s walls in order to better organize your stuff. Keeping things together by use, season or whatever makes sense to you will help you easily find what you are looking for.
3. Go above and beyond: For even more storage of items that you do not use often, put your garage’s ceiling to work. Check out ceiling-mounted racks for seasonal storage options.
4. Foldable bench: A workbench is definitely useful when you need it, but it can be an eyesore or space sucker when you don’t. Check into a folding workbench that can mount to your wall and be put up when you do not need it.
5. Strength of magnets: A magnetic board can help organize and keep track of the smallest of nuts and bolts. Small items can get easily lost amidst the spaciousness of your garage and a magnetic board is a great way to know where they are.
6. Move it around: A wheeled work space can allow you to be in different areas of your garage, depending on what project you are working on at the time. Having wheels is another way to be able to store your work area wherever it fits best at the time.
7. Adjustable shelving: Make more of your shelving by switching out static shelves for the adjustable kind to make room for your seasonal boxes and items.
8. Power of pegboards: Good old-fashioned pegboard can keep the clutter off of your garage floor with the ability to add and adjust hooks to hang up your larger tools and items. Nothing makes a garage look more cluttered than lots of stuff sitting around on the floor or propped up in the corners.
9. No wire mess: Just like in your home, wires can create chaos and a messy look. Zip ties remain an easy way to keep your cords or wires in a nice, neat collection.
