If you’re like most people, your garage is a catch-all for everything from holiday decor to sports equipment to garden tools. And while it’s great to have a place to store all of your stuff, it can be tough to keep the garage organised and functional.
But did you know that chaotic spaces can actually affect your state of mind? The sooner you get your garage sorted, the better you’ll feel. Here are some tips to help you get started:
1) Avoid Hoarding
Year end is the perfect time to declutter your home and get rid of unwanted items. If you find sorting through your belongings to be a daunting task, try reframing it as a cleansing experience. Imagine how much better you will feel with less junk!
Start by dividing your belongings into three piles: things you’ll keep, things you’ll chuck, and things you’ll sell or give away. Then, divide the items you’ll keep into two additional piles: things you’ll store in the garage and things you’ll keep elsewhere. It’s not uncommon to find items that are better suited for indoor storage.
Once you’ve sorted through your belongings, it’s time to get rid of the unwanted items. Things that you sell or giveaway can be donated to charitable organisations or sold at garage sales.
2) Use Garage Shelvings
Now that you know what items you will be storing in your garage, it is important to consider how you will store them. One of the best ways to keep your garage organised and clutter-free is by using shelving.
By investing in some quality shelving, you can create a space that works for you and your family. Shelves provide a place for everything, so you can easily find what you need when you need it. And best of all, they help to keep the garage tidy and clutter-free.
Longspan garage shelving is a great option because it can be customised to the size of your garage and the shelves can be adjusted to accommodate different-sized items. In addition, longspan shelving has a weight capacity of up to 200kg per level, so most household items will be suitable for this type of shelving.
By using longspan garage shelving, you can maximise the space in your garage and ensure that all of your items are stored properly.
3) Sort the Items
The next level of organisation is assigning specific storage areas for items based on how often they are used. For example, stored items that are accessed daily or weekly can be placed on lower shelves within arm’s reach, while items used less frequently can be stored on higher shelves or in hard-to-reach areas. This way, you can save time and frustration by having everything you need right at your fingertips.
4) Storage Bins
Looking for an effective and stylish way to organise your garage? Try using plastic crates/storage bins. These crates are perfect for storing smaller items that tend to get lost or look messy on wall shelving. They also make it easy to group similar belongings, which is great for keeping your garage organised.
