Organizing the garage can seem completely overwhelming. In
fact, so many people avoid cleaning out their garage because they just don’t
know where to start. Use these tips to get your garage organized in a flash!
Pull It All Out:
That’s right, the moment that you’ve been fearing for so long is here; it’s
time to pull all the junk out of the garage. Do this will make you physically
look at all your items and part with the items that you don’t need anymore.
Make piles of items that you would like to sale, donate, keep and throw away.
Having multiple piles will help you to categories things more effectively. If
you can divide your stuff into even more piles, feel free. The more the
merrier.
Determine Function:
Everyone uses their garage for something different. What is the garage to you?
Is it a place where you park your car? Do you use the garage to store old
Christmas decorations? Do you use the garage as a craft room? Determine what
you want to use the garage for, multiple functions are ok!
Create Spaces For Functions: Divide your remaining items into piles based on their functions. Then create spaces in the garage for those different functions. If you’re looking to use the garage as a storage space, consider utilizing shelving and overhead storage to free up floor space. If you are looking to use the garage as a craft room, then try out a workbench. There are many unique tools made for your unique hobbies and interests.

that can help you achieve the look that you want.
No matter the amount of stuff you have in your garage, you
can organize it!
