7 Quick Tips to Get (and Keep) the Garage Organized
- Before you even begin, assess your space and what is being stored. Measure your space if necessary to get a sense of what you’re working with.
- Store items you use together, such as gardening tools and lawn chemicals, close to one another.
- Put bulky equipment, like lawn mowers, in corners, where they won’t get bumped or knocked over by your car.
- Place frequently used items, like bikes, close to the garage door.
- Stash seasonal or rarely used items in the hardest-to-reach spots.
- The garage ceiling is a great spot for hanging long, flat stuff you don’t use every day, such as ladders and sports gear. Make sure that any shelves you hang from the ceiling don’t interfere with your garage door’s operation and that there is enough clearance to avoid scraping the roof of your car.
- Make plans to semi-regularly (three to four times a year) sort through your belongings and sell, donate, or toss what you don’t need.
