Reclaim Your Space: Make Your Garage a Storage Paradise

Nov 08, 2017

The garage is one of the most chronically overlooked parts of the average home. Even people who diligently organize every room in their house often treat their garage as an afterthought— somewhere to stick all the stuff they don’t have room for elsewhere, often in the most careless and disorganized fashion possible.

The way we treat our garages is a shame, especially since turning yours into the ultimate storage space is a lot easier than you think. So, don’t rent an offsite storage space just yet for all that stuff you’ve been holding on to. Instead, let us show you how to make the most out of your garage’s storage potential with just a few built-in storage shelves and a little reorganizing.

Conquer the Clutter Once and For All

If your home is like most people’s, you’ve probably got a lot of stuff lying around. Maybe it’s stuff you don’t use regularly but don’t have the heart to get rid of, or maybe it’s stuff that you desperately want to use but don’t have any room to take advantage of. For many people, all this stuff tends to make its way to the storage black hole that is the garage, where stuff collects in a haphazard manner until the entire space is overflowing.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Instead of letting your garage be the place all your extra stuff gets banished to, now is the perfect time to reorganize your garage in a way that fits all your stuff in a way that is orderly and convenient. Here’s how to do it:

Built-in shelving: One of the main reasons stuff tends to pile up in the garage is because of a lack of usable storage space. Instead of relying on the dinky little shelves that were there when you moved or trying to cobble together homemade shelves made of plywood and spare parts, consider investing in built-in shelving solutions that make the most of the space you have available. When well-designed shelving is properly installed, it can provide a surprising amount of storage space.
Built-in storage closets : Closets can give your garage even more storage versatility. If you have lots of small items or things that need better protection against the elements than what shelves provide, a few built-in storage closets will provide you with plenty of space to stash your belongings without having to worry about them.
