19 Garage Organization Tips to Clear the Clutter

Garage organization is the ideal solution for your home any time of the year. Your garage is typically used for parking cars, but many people convert theirs into storage areas. What they forget is that junk attracts junk, the more junk you have the more you’ll add. Additionally, when you live in a home for many years, you stop noticing the clutter and begin seeing it as a normal thing. This can work against you in the future when you decide to sell your home. Use these garage organization tips to clear clutter before it gets out of hand.

19 Garage Organization Tips to Clear the Clutter19 Garage Organization IdeasDisclosure Resources

1. Home Organization starts with Good Shelving:

It’s a mystery to me why homebuilders don’t install shelves right away with a garage. The main reason why garages become so cluttered is that people aren’t stacking things. You can maximize your space by using shelves.

The cheapest shelving solution is a 2×4 wood shelf. The 2×4 is very common and can be found at any hardware or wood retailer. If built correctly, you can rest assured that your 2×4 wood shelves will hold more than 600 pounds.

If you’re not a handyman, hardware stores also sell easy-to-build plastic or metal shelving solutions. Beware, though, that these probably won’t hold as much weight as a strongly built wood solution.

2. Vertical Garage Storage is Essential:

A lack of space is one of the most common obstacles toward organization. Luckily, garages offer some unusual storage options. If the floor gets too crowded, think vertical. Tall shelving units or cabinets are perfect for storing smaller items. However, even larger things can be lifted. Many sporting good stores stock wall-mounted hooks for things like bikes or kayaks. Even if outdoor sports aren’t your thing, you can repurpose the same racks to hold kids toys or lawn care items.

Most garages have limited space so vertical storage comes in handy. Make the most of the wall space and arrange items according to their use. Items used frequently should be within easy reach while those that are rarely used should be stored much higher. Get stackable clear bins and totes which help you to maximize storage and also allow you to see objects easily. You can even choose specific colors for specific items.

3. Garage Organization: Create a Place for Small Tools

Organizing the bigger items in your garage is the easy part. Things get complicated when you need to figure out where to put the nails and screws, screwdrivers, hammers, etc.

The cheapest way to organize your tools is by using a pegboard. You can buy a pegboard at any hardware retailer for next to nothing. Most hardware stores will also sell you hooks to put on that pegboard, allowing you to hang your tools in any which way you desire.

4. Beautify your Garage with Paint and Color & Labels

Paint has the ability to add life and energy to space. Use beautiful paint to make your garage both functional and stylish. You can define spaces with different paint colors. For example, if your garage doubles as a play area, you can paint one wall with chalkboard paint. Your young ones will be able to carry out their projects in the space with ease.

The A-types among us will love hearing that an organizing the garage is the perfect occasion to break out the label maker. With lots of little odds and ends lying around – think nails, bolts, and air pump adaptors – that you’ll want to keep track of. Take the time to give everything a label, so that you’ll be able to find everything at a moment’s notice in your organized garage.
