Let’s face it: when it comes to the garage, it’s the room in the house that most of us neglect the most. You’ll be surprised how much more space you’ll have if you organize your garage. The process doesn’t have to be as tedious as you think. Here are 20 tips for organizing your garage that you should try out!
1. Peg board
There’s a reason why pegboards are a classic in any garage. They can hang up almost anything, which saves tons of space.
2. Bungee cords for ball storage
Finding a place for a lot of balls in the garage can be hard. Not to mention, they always get lost by just rolling under something. Utilize bungee cords for easy access, and never worry about a lost ball again.
3. Store spray paint in shoe organizers
Shoe organizers can be repurposed in endless ways. Storing spray paints in them is a great idea because you can see the color of the caps and reach for them easily.
4. PVC pipes for tools
Simply cut PVC pipes into short pieces and nail or screw them onto the wall. This makes it easy for all your tools to stand up.
5. Collapsible workbench
Collapsible workbenches are easy to make and require minimal supplies. Just fold it up after using it and you instantly have extra space. No need to move a workbench around the garage anymore!
6. Make a dispenser for tape
This will organize your tapes and you will never need to find the edge where the tape starts again. Simple but convenient.
7. Outlines to keep tools in place
Things tend to get messy when you forget where items came from. You’ll just put them somewhere else, and that’s how clutter starts. Trace outlines of your tools to know where each and every single one belongs.
8. Use gum containers to store screws and nails
Gum containers are the perfect size for storing screws and nails. They won’t get mixed up, so you won’t have to tediously look for matching nails.
9. Make simple shelves
Anyone can make simple shelves. And they are super convenient as well!
10. Hang wet coats on a beam
If you have nowhere to dry your coats, hang them on a beam in your garage.
11. Use Pallets to store tools
This is another way to keep your tools upright and easy to find. All you need is a pallet. You can even paint them for a decorative touch.
12. Hang jars under shelves
Just nail the lids under the shelves and screw the jar in. You’ll have more space on top of the shelves for other items.
13. Store bins on the ceiling
Attach rails to the ceiling and use them to store bins. Slide them out when you need something.
14. Magnetic Strips
Magnetic strips are great for holding tools and anything metal. This allows very easy access.
15. Cups on a pegboard
Attach cups onto your pegboard to hold markers, tools, etc.
16. Label everything
Labels are perhaps the most essential part of organization. You’ll never have to look for anything again.
17. Cabinets on wheels
Add wheels to cabinets, so you can roll them around when you need specific tools. This will categorize your tools, and you won’t have to find and gather up everything you need anymore because it will already be organized for you.
18. Reuse paper towel holders
Mount a paper towel holder somewhere easy to reach and use it for trash bags. This is a simple hack, but it makes life a bit easier as well.
19. Hang everything up
The more that is up on the wall, the more space there will be on the floor. Try to put as much on the wall as possible to optimize your space.
20. Removable peg boards
Use pegboards that can be moved around to categorize your tools.
