While using the garage as an extra storage room is nothing new, many people find it difficult to make the most of such a unique space. Knowing how to efficiently organize your garage could mean the difference between unnecessary clutter and an incredibly convenient storage area. Luckily, the experts of Get Organized—Rochester, NY’s premier organization and home storage service—offer three easy tricks for optimizing your garage storage space:  

  • garage storagePile It Up: No, not into mountainous, haphazard mounds! Take stock of your items by breaking them down into various categories. Make piles of things you want to discard, keep, and donate. Then, go through each of your items individually, placing them into corresponding boxes as you see fit. By dividing and conquering, you’ll get a better idea of what you need to store while purging your garage of items that have just been gathering dust.
  • Create Sections: One of the easiest ways to become more organized is to group similar items together. When you’re done, you’ll know exactly where things are when you need to find them later. Divide your garage into various zones, with each zone dedicated to a particular category of garage storage items. Be as specific as possible when making categories for things like household appliances, sports equipment, and mechanical tools.
  • Use The Walls: Rather than taking up prime real estate on your garage floor, use storage shelves, hooks, and cabinets to keep your garage storage limited to the perimeter of the room. Using shelves and boxes can help store items in a compact and easily accessible way, preventing them from spilling into other zones or blocking your car’s path. Bikes and brooms can hang on hooks, heavier tools can be placed in cabinets, and household items can occupy shelves.
