When most people think about a home organization they immediately think about the garage or basement. While these are both very important areas of the home, there is no reason an organized garage has to be hard! 

There are lots of different garage storage solutions on the market, but some of them can be expensive. Luckily, there is another option that doesn’t cost anything or cost very little money – utilizing what you already own! 

These 5 tips will show you how you can have a clean and organized garage in just a few days.

1)    Clean the Garage

There are many good reasons why this should be your first step. The main reason is that it is harder to find things in a dirty mess. If you know where everything goes when it is in good order, then you won’t waste time looking for every tool needed for every project.

You also will want to clear out junk before putting items back into place so that they don’t get lost in the clutter.

2)    Start by putting things back in the places they belong

Once you have thrown out everything that is no longer needed, you can begin to put things away.

There are three different piles that you will want to make during this time: one for items that need to be either recycled or thrown out, one for items that should be kept but need a new place, and finally one for items that go back in their designated place.

If you have two of these piles then it will make your job twice as easy!

3)    Use hooks on the wall

There are many types of hooks available at The Home Depot. You can use these hooks to form an organizational system for hanging tools or other frequently used items. There are even special hooks for hanging bicycles or other sporting equipment.

You just hang the hook on a sturdy nail or screw and then hang whatever you need right beside it.

4)    Buy storage bins for your garage

Storage bins can be great when trying to stay organized in a small space such as a garage. They help keep tools off the floor and make them easily accessible when needed; they also allow you to hide away less frequently used items until they are needed again.

These items typically come in many different colours, which allows you to colour code what goes in each bin: i.e., one green bin is holding either yard supplies or landscaping materials and another holds motor oil that is waiting to be disposed of.

5)    Use the walls

The garage is a perfect place to use pegboards, creating an easy organizational system for hanging tools that are frequently used. You can also hang rakes, shovels, brooms, or anything else that will fit on these boards.

The backs of doors are also great locations for hooks because they are already there and aren’t being used.

You’ve now increased your garage storage space without spending any money or taking up valuable floor space! All that’s left is for you to sit back and enjoy how easy things are; without having something obstructing your car, life just got a little bit easier.

So what are waiting for? It’s time to go and see how many storage solutions you can find!

By using these five tips you should have an organized garage in just a few days! Just remember to take it slow and stay focused so that you don’t get overwhelmed with all the cleaning and organizing. If you keep at it then your garage will be clean and organized in no time!
