EASY GARAGE ORGANIZATION STORAGE SOLUTIONS

We recently organized this garage for a family of 7. This was a project we collaborated on with Lifetime Coatings with their Proslat Products. We recommended that they install a hanging ceiling shelf for their camping storage, since they aren’t accessing these on a regular basis. The slat wall was added for quick-grab items such as the leaf blower, level, and extensions cords and the cabinetry created much needed storage solutions.

If you’re looking for easy access to your bikes, while minimizing the room they take up, these steady racks bike racks are the answer! They are easy to install and can be moved side to side for optimal storage.

We’ve done the heavy lifting for you on garage organization and have found some of the best storage solutions here.

 

USE WIPEABLE BINS WITH LABELS

Let’s face it, garages get dirty! This is why we like plastic materials for the bins we use in garages because they are easy to wipe clean and keep up on. For added benefit, consider clear bins so you can see what is inside. The final cherry on top is a label so you can find what you’re looking for at a glance and establish a true organization system. Here is our favorite label maker. 

Some of our favorite bins for a garage are these multi-purpose bins from The Container Store in smoke! They have a little bit of color but are opaque enough that you can see what’s inside. Plus they have multiple sizes so that you use them all across your garage. They are a staple for easy garage organization.
