Whether you are moving into a new home with your first garage or simply looking to take things to the next level, there will be a few basics when it comes to your home garage before you can get stuck in. Getting organised will be top of your list as an organised garage is one which is efficient, easier to work in and safer. Read on for a few tips for making your garage more organised.
Divide Areas Into Stations
One of the best ways that you can keep your garage neat and organised is simply to divide the area into different stations. You could even use different colours for different parts of the garage, which will also help to create a cool visual style as well as make it easier to keep neat and tidy.
Use Hangers for Various Tools
Hangers can be a great way to maximise space as it allows you to keep certain tools against the wall (this can also make them much easier to find when you need them). Similarly, you could use pegboards to keep your various tools organised and easy to reach at all times.
Tool Boxes
Tool boxes are an essential for any garage and one of the easiest ways to keep your garage organised. A high-quality tool box or tool cabinet will make it easy to find what you are looking for, allow you to keep the work floor clear and also improve the security of your garage if it also has a lock.
Have a Bike Storage Area
For some reason, it seems that bikes are always in the way no matter where you store them. Many people store their bikes in the garage which can certainly be a good place, but it can be frustrating if you use your garage often. A bike rack which is nailed to the wall will be a smart way to keep your bikes easily accessible but also out of the way (and safe).
Cabinets
Cabinets are the perfect storage solution for garages as you can keep labelled bins inside with all the various bits and bobs that you inevitably accumulate with DIY, plus you can simply shut the door to hide clutter and keep your workspace looking neat and organised.
Hopefully, this post will give you a few ideas for ways that you can make your garage neater and more organised so that you can really make the most out of the space.
