Garage Organization Tips

Garage Organization and Storage

While home ownership certainly has its perks, there’s a lot that comes with it too. Lawn, general household and pool maintenance are just a few of the responsibilities that come with owning a home as well as the various tools and supplies needed to keep your home looking maintained and tidy. Usually, the shed or the garage is where most of these items are stored along with kids toys and bikes, and unfortunately, this area can easily get messy quickly. That’s why these garage organization tips will help you get organized this weekend.

Keeping the Garage Clean and Organized

According to a recent article shared by Good Housekeeping , there are several tips and tricks that you can use to keep your garage looking neat and clean. Here are some to help get you started:

1. Place lawn maintenance tools on a pegboard instead of leaning them against the wall.
2. Add a gardening station with shelves or a workbench to use as a “catchall” for these supplies
3. Create a color-coordinated workspace that keeps with the same style as the interior of your home
4. Create a vertical bin storage system along a wall in the garage with labeled boxes and bins
5. Add cabinets with labeled drawers and boxes
6. Build a slatwall organizer and add hooks, baskets, and holders to store tools and supplies
7. Stack grab-and-go baskets that will hold items you frequently need when running errands such as reusable shopping bags, umbrellas and any other miscellaneous items
8. Take advantage of the natural ventilation by leaving sporting equipment out on shelves to air out or dry
9. Build a makeshift pantry with shelving for any food items
10. Install hanging bike storage
11. Create a kid’s corner that can help children with learning tidy habits
