A very organized garage

Does your garage need a makeover, so you can find things? Do you feel like you park your vehicle in a storage unit, or are you simply trying to get your parking space back? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this list of garage storage tricks is for you! Stay on budget and get organized to start the year off right.


1. Use vertical space

Shelving units and ceiling mounts will open up a lot of space that you're not currently using.


2. Maximize wall space

Tools hanging up on a peg board

Pegboards or inexpensive wire shelving can free up countertops from clutter.


3. Get a free-standing storage unit

A storage cabinet

Brooms, rakes, and other long-handled tools can be kept upright in a tall, narrow unit.


4. Use painter’s tape

Mark out parking spaces with painter's tape for kid cars and toys, so they can help you keep the garage organized.


5. Use old cabinets

Keep things off the ground by adding more storage to your walls with inexpensive or old cabinets.


6. Use every inch

Storage bins hanging from a garage ceiling

Overhead storage is a great way to utilize unused space. Install a wire shelf along the top of your wall to place plastic storage bins up and out of the way. It’s perfect for holiday items that are only used once a year.


7. Organize with magnets
