Tips for Increasing Your Garage’s Storage Space

September 25, 2019/in Uncategorized/by Blue Sky Builders

Personal items and property seem to get lost in the shuffle much too easily nowadays, and in many garages, important goods may accidentally become mixed with products that should be discarded. This may occur in your garage if you do not think a certain item will be in the garage for very long, or you may think your garage has more storage space than what is actually available. While every homeowner would love the luxury of having a bigger garage, a massive construction job may not be financially feasible, and there may be constraints based on the size of the property. In these cases, there are a variety of other garage customization options that can use space-saving tactics to provide you with a brand-new outlook on your garage. If you are looking to add more storage space in your garage, you should consider the following:

Get an Idea of What Needs to Be Stored

Before any customization or new storage ideas can be put into place, you should have a good idea of what you will be keeping and the most logical place to store these items. Cleaning your garage extensively and disposing of any unwanted or unneeded items is the very first step that should be taken. Every situation is different, and some people may have an abundance of tools that need precise organization, while others might be holding onto children’s toys or family heirlooms that do not need to be organized in a specific manner. Envisioning an ideal layout for your garage could save you time and money throughout the garage organization process.

Install Wall and Ceiling Storage

Bicycles, lawn equipment, ladders, and other items can take up a lot of floor space. One of the simplest solutions to this problem is to install hooks and shelves throughout your garage. Shelves are a great option for storing toys, lawn care equipment, sporting goods, and other small items. Similarly, a tool wall could free up elbow room on tables or work benches that would be appreciated by any crafter. Furthermore, a ceiling storage system could increase a garage’s capacity by taking rarely used items, such as holiday decorations, and securing them in an easily accessible location.

Add a Loft

Could you imagine being able to utilize the previously unoccupied space above your garage? By adding a loft, you essentially double your capacity, using both ground and air space to your advantage. Lofted areas can provide an extra location for property to be stored, or they could even allow for a new addition to the home.
