4 Super-Simple Ways to Organize Your Garage
You’re tired of it — pulling into your garage, bumping into the bikes, and having to weave your way around toys, lawn tools, and storage boxes to get into your house after work every day. The team at Springpad, one of Time Magazine’s Top 50 Apps of 2012, has asked Andrew Mellen, The Most Organized Man in America and author the bestselling book Unstuff Your Life, what products he would recommend to help you get that messy garage organized. Unstuff Your Cluttered Garage is your guide to creating neat, usable space with a few nifty products.
Done with plastic or cardboard boxes taking up space in the corners? Create a sliding storage system on the garage ceiling. This system is fully customizable, with different sized containers that make use of the dead space above your garage door to store those items that you can’t let go, but only use a few times a year.
Stash it in a Drawer!
If toys, gardening tools, and other small items are in your way, check out this 10 drawer organizer. Color-coded drawers help you store small items neatly, and are fun for kids to use. Swivel casters allow you to move the organizer easily, and the wheels lock in place for safety when you’ve found the perfect spot for it.
Make Use of Awkward Space
Stackable, lockable Geneva corner wall cabinets make use of awkward corner space, even under wall shelves. These steel cabinets are attractive, secure, and a great place to store valuable tools or solvents that should be kept out of reach of children and pets for safety. They also work in a modular system with any of the other units in the Geneva modular system to suit your storage needs.
Systemize Your Walls
If you’re up for a slightly bigger weekend project, building a wall storage system is a great way to organize items like lawn tools and sports equipment that need to be within easy reach. With step-by-step instructions, the DIY Network walks you through building a fully customized storage system limited only by the size of your wall and the size of your imagination.
