A proper garage organization system is essential for a growing family. Whether you have a custom garage built or a simple set up, its crucial that you organize it for your goals.
Follow these tips and you will be on your way to pure organization.
1. Start from the floor up!
Epoxy garage flooring can be an elegant addition to your garage. It's aesthetically pleasing and easier to clean. For this you may need to hire a professional company.
2. Roll with what you can.
Use a wall roller or a simple paper towel roll to store your garbage bags in the cleanest manner.
3. Keep everything off of the floor.
Whether it's brooms to tools and other cleaning supplies, use slatwall or gridwall systems to keep everything off the floor. A garage with a cluttered floor is a hazard zone when you are leaving your house with only a few sips off coffee left.
4. Use clear storage tubs.
If you have a lot of Christmas ornaments or many tools that are difficult to label specifically, use clear tubs for the organizing and reorganizing process. This will work, in order to attain seamless organization throughout time. Holiday after holiday, it will be worth it.
5. Keep essentials behind closed doors.
Anchor your custom garage cabinets to the wall so that they don't topple over. Store your most essential items in a locked section of these cabinets.
6. Hang your seats.
If you have a series of disposable chairs that you use for barbeques or other social gatherings, make sure to find a place off of the ground as well. If this is impossible, it may be a great idea to allocate a whole section for event items like your chairs, tables and tents.
7. Make sure everything has a place.
Expanding on the previous tip, you should really have a place for everything. This will keep things efficent throughout the times that you gain new stuff and get rid of old stuff.
8. Top it off with Overhead Storage.
Top it all off with an overhead storage system this is the ideal spot for your annuals like Christmas ornaments or childhood memorabilia like photo albums.
