Garage Organization Tips

Most people use their garage as a storage area or a dumping ground for items that don’t have a home in the house. Over time, things tend to pile up, which can make organizing your garage feel like a daunting task. But with a little planning and effort, you can transform a cluttered space into a functional and efficient area.

Here are some tips to get you started:

• Mark off 2-3 days on your calendar to organize your garage.
• Gather any supplies that you will need: garbage bags, recycling bin, containers, labels.
• Sort similar items into collections: sports equipment, automotive supplies, paint, shoes, etc.
• Declutter 30-50% of the items in your garage.
• Contain the collections in cohesive bins.
• Label the bins so you can find what you need at a glance. Enjoy!

By following these tips, you can transform your garage into a functional and organized space that makes your life easier.
