While decluttering your garage can be challenging, it’s well worth the effort. When excess items are removed, you’ll be overwhelmed by the amount of space available. After all, a skilled garage organizer can squeeze in more than just the car.

Here are the fundamentals that every well-kept garage should have:

Quality Lighting

A lot of work gets done in the garage, and if you can’t see what you’re doing, not much will get accomplished. Quality lighting saves significant time, hassle, and risk. Without it, injury is a real possibility, especially since heavy tools and machinery are frequently used within the garage.

Portable work lights are the ideal home organization tool; move them where and when you please for a convenient DIY workstation. They’ll instantly brighten your space, giving off just the right amount of light. 

A Workbench

Every garage requires a workbench, and after decluttering, you’ll find plenty of space for one. Invest in a sturdy piece that’s built to last, and you’ll have ample room to display the tools and equipment used during projects. A quality workbench makes an excellent garage organizer itself; you’ll know exactly where to find much-needed supplies.

Tool Chests

Not every item has a place on your workbench, so if you have extra tools lying around, keep them neatly organized in chests. Group types together and set them up so you’re good to go on any size project. With plenty of compartments and drawer space, every tool will have a home.

Power Supplies

Most equipment requires an adequate power source, but if you can’t reach the outlet, don’t be alarmed. Stock up on power outlets and extension tools so that your work is always well within reach, and store them within your workbench so they’re easy to find during tasks.
