Start by taking inventory of what’s in your garage
If you’re like many homeowners, there’s likely a lot in your garage that you don’t know what to do with. The best way to start on a plan is to first take inventory of everything that’s there. This means going through every box, writing down all the tools and miscellaneous things you have in your garage, and taking count of everything. This will be helpful as you work to figure out how to organize everything.
Put everything into piles
Now that you know what’s there, it’s time to be honest with yourself about the things you have. If you haven’t used something for six months then it may be time to find it a new place to be stored. If you have certain items that are only used seasonally, like sports equipment or gardening tools, then you may want to store them in the basement when out of season. The things that you don’t use at all, consider giving to charity or throwing them away. Don’t hang on to stuff if you’re just going to end up throwing it away later.
Ask yourself what you’re looking for in a garage
Before you start organizing, it’s a good idea to have a clear idea of what your goal is. Do you want a garage that’s simply a place to park your car all year long – or just for a particular season? Do you want your garage to hold a second fridge or freezer? Do you want your garage to double as a workshop or a space for band practice? Whatever you want from it, start with a clear idea of the objective.
Make use of every inch of your garage
When you’re considering how to use your door, don’t just look at the floor. If it’s ten feet tall, and your garage door is seven feet high, then you’ll have somewhere around 22 inches to use over the door for extra storage. If your ceiling is even higher, then you could add a loft over the entire garage. Look for ways to use every inch of your garage. Store things on racks. Build shelves to old things. The options are unlimited!
Consider replacing your garage door
You don’t want to only think about the inside of your garage. After all, you want to drive up to the space and smile immediately – not pass through a dirty, worn down door to see your new organized space.
