Upgrade Your Garage With These Projects

Spring is here, which means it’s time to clean up your home. While you may have a long list of to dos, organizing your garage should be at the top of it. If you have piles and piles of mixed holiday décor, sports gear, and garden supplies, it’s time to give everything a place with these five garage storage tips. Before you know it, you’ll be able to park your new ride from Maserati of Tysons inside the garage, rather than in the heated driveway.

Use an Old Fashion Pegboard

If your space is tool heavy, every time you need something, it probably leads to a headache looking for it. The answer to your problem is installing a pegboard, as it allows for each item to have space. If you really want to get fancy, consider painting it a matte black or a bold jewel tone, as your tools are sure to make a statement against a dark color.

Sift Through the Seasonal Items

From Christmas trees, wreaths, stockings, bows, you named it — the decor spreads holiday cheer, but it’s simply just junk throughout the year. By installing a shelving unit, you will be able to find everything as soon as you need it, so you won’t be dreading the decorating process any longer. For small items, invest in some clear bins, so you can see what is on each shelf without having to pull the bin down.

Spruce Up Your Space

You will be more likely to keep the garage organized if it’s aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Consider giving the door to enter your home a pop of color or even installing a bench organizer. Also, with the help of an adorable woven fiber rug, you can minimize the track of dirt and mud entering your home.

Utilize the Vertical Space

If you’re in a pickle trying to decide how to better organize the kid’s bikes, look no further. The good old kickstand will fail you from time to time, so install some hooks to latch them to the wall. This will free up floor space for other storage projects as well.
