6 Garage Storage Solutions to Ban Clutter
Tired of tripping over tools on the garage floor or losing your tape measure in a drawer full of nails, bits, and screwdrivers? A simple garage storage system with drawers, cabinets, and racks gives you a place to store everything you own and keep your garage organized. Here are 6 garage storage solutions that can help you cut down on clutter.
1. Wall Racks
Keeping things off the floor is the best way to keep your garage organized. Garage racks are perfect for hanging rakes, shovels, garden tools, and sports gear. You can also hang hooks, rails, bike hangers, bins, baskets, and other organizers on a wall rack in order to store anything from basketballs to gardening gloves.
2. Overhead Rack Storage
Small garage? Not enough room to store your stuff? Take advantage of overhead space by installing garage racks on the ceiling. This is a great place to store items that you only need to access occasionally, such as a Christmas tree, a car top carrier, or extra lumber and building supplies.
3. Locker Storage
Wish you could keep muddy boots and rain coats out of your entryway? With a locker storage unit in your garage, you can! Locker units with cubbies for shoes and hooks for coats, accessories, and bags make it easy to stay organized. Bench seating is even better, since it gives you a place to sit while you take off your shoes. Assign a locker / cubby unit to each family member so that they have their own storage space.
4. Garage Cabinets
Storing items in drawers and cabinets makes your garage look neater, since it puts clutter behind closed doors. You don’t need built-in garage cabinets to do the trick—commercial garage cabinets are available for any garage, without the need for built-in or custom cabinetry. Garage cabinets give your space a finished, professional look, besides being functional.
5. Pegboards
No garage is complete without a tool bench and a pegboard. With the hooks and hangers that attach to your pegboard, you can hang all kinds of tools and even label where each tool goes or draw an outline of it on your pegboard. The best thing about a pegboard? With multiple holes, you can customize the layout to hang almost any type and number of tools.
6. Loft Storage
Need extra storage that you can access easily? Create a second story in your garage with a loft. Use railings around the edges for ventilation and a drop-down ladder for easy access.
