Keeping Your Garage Organized

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

Lots of people turn their garage into a storage space, which causes them to quickly run out of room – and this leaves them with a garage that has no room for their cars, or even for anything else that they would like to keep in there. If you are already using your garage for storage, it might be quite an undertaking to clear out all that storage and to start over, but if you are moving into a new house, it will be quite easy to make sure you are keeping space open in your garage – enabling yourself to actually use it!

Deciding how many cars you want parked in your garage is the first thing you will want to do in order to make sure you have enough space; if you only have one car, or if you are only wanting to park one car in your garage, you will have a bit more space to work with – but if you are wanting to park two cars in your garage, keep this in mind as you decide how to use the rest of your garage space.

The next most important thing when you are setting up your garage is that you make space for the things that truly belong in your garage; these things include power tools (as well as space for more power tools to be added), your lawn mower, and any toys or games that your children frequently used in the front yard.

And you will know how much space you have left to work with for storage after you have made sure you have room for the number of cars you want to store in your garage, and for the things that actually belong in your garage. Use this space wisely, stacking things in such a manner that you optimize the space you have, and always realize that there is a chance you are keeping more stuff than you really need – and that you can free up space not only in your garage, but also in the rest of your house, by getting rid of anything that is “extra”!
