When you think about a garage, the mind conjures up a house to store your vehicle, however, the modern garage is far more multifaceted, serving as storage, home gym, office, workshop, or flatlet.
Whatever your garage is used for, if you want to maximise this useful space to it’s full potential, keeping it organised is very important. We have put together some useful tips in keeping your garage organised, as a lack of space will restrict your movement and from using your garage properly.
What will you be using your garage for?
You need to have a purpose in mind before you can effectively start organising your garage. This will ensure that you fit the right shelves, cupboards, or facilities to make the most out of the space you have available, beforehand.
Storage
When organising your garage, storage is essential part of keeping this space uncluttered so that you can still fit your vehicle in and move around without bumping into things.
Vertical wall-mounted shelves will help by keeping everything visible so you can find items quickly, or for items you would prefer to keep out of sight, drawers, cabinets, and cupboards are an affordable choice, for a more minimalistic approach.
You can be really creative when it comes to storing things like, loose screws, nuts, bolts and other smaller items in old coffee cans or jars.
A lack of floor space impacts movement, so when it comes to storing your items, hooks and brackets are an excellent choice. They can be attached to walls or hung from ceilings to free up work surfaces and floor space, for items such as gardening equipment or bicycles.
Zone It!
By zoning different areas for certain purposes, you can create areas like home maintenance where you store items like, power tools and paint or a gardening section for your lawn mower, and other gardening paraphernalia.
By zoning your garage, you keep it tidy, you know precisely where to find specific items when you need them, and everything is grouped together.
