How To Organise The Storage In Your Garage
Does it look like a bomb’s gone off in your garage? Many people use them as a storage space for the stuff they don’t want in the main house, but also can’t bear to get rid of. But with a few smart storage solutions, the cluttered mess of a garage can become an organised oasis. Then whenever you need to find something, it should be easy to locate.
Here are a few tips to organise the storage in your garage.
Throw It Away
Yes, you may think everything you’ve put in your garage is still useful for some reason, but more often than not there’s a lot of stuff that will never see the light of day again. Look through your belongings using a critical eye instead of a sentimental one or enlist a friend to tell you the truth about whether items need keeping. Then you can throw away, sell or donate whatever you decide. This will free up a lot of space in your garage for the other belongings.
Ignore Looking Pretty
In most other rooms of your house you might work hard to look aesthetically pleasing, but does your storage room need to look that great. As long as everything is organised properly, making the room look nice isn’t necessarily key. It’s not like you’ll be inviting guests into the room to marvel at your old bits and bobs!
Roof Storage
Shelves and drawers are great options for storage, taking up plenty of space on the floor and walls. But the roof is an untapped area perfect for storing items. You can easily install roof shelving that allows you to take your storage into the air.
Install A New Garage Door
A lot of garage space is often taken up by the garage door, so install a new model that increases the amount of space you can use to store things in your garage. A roller garage door is expertly designed to maximise the space in your garage, allowing you to store belongings inches from the door.
Up & over doors and sectional doors are designed to open vertically and store on the ceiling, which will help with your storage space. If you think a side-hinged door would work best for your home, this option is also great for storage. As the doors swing outwards, they don’t impact the storage space your garage has.
