Top Tips for Keeping Your Garage Organised

Garages can be difficult to keep on top of. Even the most tidy and organised people can find themselves struggling to keep everything under control. If your garage is looking more like a dumping ground than an organised haven for your tools, gardening equipment and bikes, then it may be time to have a clearout and to get organised. Below we have put together our top tips to help keep your garage as organised as possible.

Add good lighting

Not only will installing bright lighting in your garage keep you safe and stop you from tripping over things in the dark, but a well-lit garage also means that you can find your tools and other pieces of equipment easily. Good lighting also means that you can clearly see where to put your tools back after using them too!

Invest in wall storage

One way to maximise the space in your garage is to invest in wall storage. If your garage is lacking space or you do not have enough room for everything, make use of the walls instead. Without the correct storage facilities, garages can quickly become cluttered. Add some freestanding shelves to your garage or install some shelves on the walls. Items are much easier to organise on shelves than on the ground!

Easy access

You should be able to access everything in your garage easily and without too much effort. Ideally, you shouldn’t have to move boxes out of the way or fight through various pieces of equipment to get to the tools you need. Make sure that any boxes are labelled appropriately so that you know exactly where everything is.

Hoist your bike

Storing bikes in your garage can be difficult if you don’t have much space. Not only are bikes awkwardly shaped and heavy, but finding the room for a bike rack in your garage can be difficult. One solution to this is to raise your bike up off the floor using a specially designed hoist. This will keep your bike at height and out of the way, freeing up space for items below.

Choose the right garage door

Believe it or not, the type of garage door you have can greatly impact the amount of space available in your garage. Roller doors, for example, can help you to save space in your garage and allow you to park your car as close to the door as possible so that you can make the best use of the space that you have inside.
